The voice on the other end continued, "Mr. Luke and Mr. Adam are not father and son, but they do share a family connection." Carter urged. "Please send over the identification documents as soon as possible.

""Understood."

After hanging up, Carter instinctively reached for a cigarette, but upon noticing I was by his side, he put the cigarette pack back.

"Carter." I had overheard the entire conversation.

Speculation is one thing, but when guesses turn into reality, Carter was facing immense pressure.

After all, he had always believed that Luke was Esther's son. Esther had saved his life, and her only wish was for Caster to look after her son. Therefore, Carter had been so protective of Luke. But now, it turned out Silas was Esther's son, and yet Carter had left Silas barely clinging to life.

He had failed Esther, and he was likely feeling guilty, torn between the fact that Silas was the son of his benefactor and the fact that Silas had been the one to try to kill me.

"Carter, it's not your fault. You didn't know."

"Chloe, I'm sorry."

Carter pulled me into an embrace, resting his chin on my shoulder.

"If I had known that it was someone from my family that killed you, I would have taken care of them myself! No matter their reasons, there's no excuse for killing you. You were innocent."

I was stunned. I had thought he was feeling conflicted because of the situation, but it seemed like he was ashamed of the fact that it was his family who were responsible for my death. How much gentler could this man be?

"It's all in the past now, Look at me now-I'm alive and well. If I hadn't survived, I never would have married you." I patted his back.

Carter gently cupped my face, his gaze soft. "Chloe, even if you're reborn, it doesn't mean the pain you. endured will disappear. On that snowy night, you were all alone by the river, crying out for help with no one to answer. How scared must you have been? And when that blade pierced you, how much pain did you feel?

"When you died and became a spirit, feeling completely helpless and in pain, then waking up from nightmares over and over-that's a lifetime of psychological scars. Those wounds are real and won't vanish just because you were reborn."

T"..." In my past life, no one cared about me. After being reborn, I learned to handle my emotions on my own. I hadn't expected him to care for me so deeply.

Carter apologized, I'm sorry that it was my family. I swear I'll make it right for you

"But he's Esther's son. If you hurt him, won't you be betraying Esther's wishes

He said, "Esther was a woman who knew right from wrong. If she had known her son was a cold blee killer, she would be even more heartbroken. But since Silas is a Boltons by blood, I've already told that about this. He probably won't let us deal with him as we with This was indeed a tricky situation. "Are you planning to tell Adam?"

"Not yet. This organization has plans targeting both the Sanders and the Boltons. If we reveal everything now, we'll alert them. Chloe, I've already released news of Silas's death to see how they'll read"

I furrowed my brow and asked, "Earlier, we thought Silas was an important member of the organization. Now we know he was just a pawn, used to get back at your family. He probably doesn't even know the truth about his background. If that's the case, will they still risk coming to retrieve his body?"

Just then, Damian rushed in, looking frantic. "Mr. Carter, the police are here."

Carter looked at him and asked, "What's going on?"

"Someone reported a body being discovered in the estate."

Carter turned to me and said, "We've been played."
