I never expected her to answer my question, but after a brief silence, she spoke calmly, "Believe it or not, your death in the last life had nothing to do with me." "Then who was it?"

"Chloe, the more you know, the quicker you die. Why dig into things that are already in the past?"

My mind raced. If she wasn't lying, then this time, her attempt to kill me must have been to protect Carter and stop the life exchange.

"So, it was someone from the Carlyns?"

She didn't respond, which was as good as an admission.

Years ago, the Sanders had left the Carlyns with deep-seated hatred-a grudge so intense that the Carlyns loathed the Sanders with every fiber of their being.

That's why they took Whitney when she was just five years old, planting the seed of revenge that grew into this mess.

Wisteria, her father, and other members of the Carlyns had all played a part in the revenge against the Sanders.

It was getting late, so I decided not to press further. After all, I wasn't someone she cared for, and we weren't exactly friends.

To her, I was a thorn in her side, so there was no way she'd open her heart to me.

Still, she'd made me suffer on that island, living in fear and torment. It was only fair that I retaliated.

"Amber, make sure you wake up early tomorrow morning."

She was confused.

She probably didn't want to bother me, so she stayed silent.

I continued, "For breakfast, I'd like ravioli and soy milk-not the kind made by a machine, but freshly ground with a millstone."

Her voice came out through gritted teeth. "Would you like to eat crap instead?"

"Amber, how crude of you. Where's your dignity as an elder? Maybe I should punish you by having you prepare stuffed dumplings as well."

"Chloe!"

"Your cooking is amazing. I only had it once, but I've been dreaming about it ever since. And after losing so much blood tonight, don't you think I deserve a proper meal to replenish myself? You're so kind and considerate-you'll probably start grinding beans at three in the morning for me, won't you?"

"What time is it now?"
