Luke had just lifted his cup of tea, ready to take a sip, when he heard Carter suddenly mention the events from the year of the earthquake.

The cup slipped from his hand and tumbled to the carpet, spilling brownish-yellow tea that slowly soaked into the fabric. Luke stared at him in disbelief. "What did you say?"

Carter met his shocked gaze and smirked with a hint of mockery. He continued, "That foolish woman's ship was caught in a tsunami. The tsunami swept their boat into the ocean, leaving her to float on a piece of wood for two whole days. Had it not been for the passing of my ship, she would have perished in the

"When my men brought her aboard, she was barely alive. She went without food or water for two days and nights, leaving her vulnerable to the wind and sun. Any skin that was exposed had been burned raw, and her body was completely drained.

I was the one who had the ship's doctor treat her. I also made sure she got the care she needed. The moment the ship docked, she rushed straight home without a moment's delay.

The memories flooded back. I had lived through this, but hearing it from someone else left me oddly unmoved. 1

I could vaguely recall how the sun had seared my skin, like a piece of meat roasting on a hot grill, abandoned in the middle of a vast, empty ocean.

No food. No water.

The days were unbearably hot, and the nights were freezing cold.

The wind howled and the waves crashed against me, while my sunburned skin stung painfully with the saltwater.

The physical pain was nothing compared to the psychological terror. Even the nights on the ship shone brightly, as they had grown accustomed to the dazzling lights and nightlife of the big city.

But at that time, I couldn't see any light. The weather was dreadful, and not even a single star was visible.

The sea was like a giant monster, ready to swallow me at any moment.

Every time a wave rose, it pulled me under, leaving me helplessly drifting in the water and clinging to the wood with all my strength, unsure of the amount of seawater I had swallowed to survive. Carter's words finally shed light on all this. Luke murmured, "You're lying! If Chloe really went through all that, why didn't she say anything?"

I did speak up, but no one believed me. Anna simply said I went on vacation.

My family called me heartless, and Luke called me cold and disgusting.
