Luke and I had shared a unique bond for two decades, but it had been six months since our paths diverged.

Even so, hearing his name again felt surreal-like stepping into a different world.

Not long ago, Luke came to Jaford after a single call from me, Luke came to Jaford. We met briefly, yet I couldn't fathom why he'd shown up at Carlyn Residence. "Where is he now?" I asked.

"He came with... " Yael hesitated, glancing at Carter as though he couldn't say the name aloud.

"He came with Mr. Bolton, but he didn't approach. He just stayed at a distance, watching you, and then left."

Carter then explained, "Your fake death hurt him deeply. He's stayed in Jaford, likely just to confirm you're alive."

"Hmm."

I nodded faintly, my thoughts wandering to Luke. What was he thinking now? As Oliver's son, his connection to everything ran deep.

I once believed that Amber might be one of the lost Bolton twins, but now it seemed she wasn't. It seemed more likely the twins were alive and in hiding.

Most of the mysteries surrounding Amber had already been unraveled, and I was confident she wouldn't harm Carter.

That left one explanation-the car crash involving Carter and Esther could have been orchestrated by the missing twins.

Their vendetta wasn't against the Sanders but the Boltons. I couldn't help but wonder if Amber was somehow linked to them.

We'd need to wait until we were back in Snowville to uncover the truth about the Boltons. For now, removing Whitney's chip took priority.

That chip felt like a constant burden, making it impossible for me to relax or even eat in until it was gone.

Whitney and Taylor's wedding was just three days away. I had been staying at Carlyn Residence to assist with the preparations.
