Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 336 Hidden Secrets

The Sanders' mental state was rapidly deteriorating. Yet, despite their struggles, they were determined to seek revenge. They rallied together, intent on uncovering the person who had caused them harm.

I had accomplished my goal, and I wasn't in the mood to console them.

After all, they hadn't taken me seriously when I died by the river.

I could be considered kind for not mocking them now that they were in a bad situation.

The only thing that bothered me was the lack of updates from Josh. It seemed the Sanders had angered someone from Grandma's generation, which might explain Anna's cruelty toward her.

During Grandma's time, communication was primitive, and the country was still in its early stages of development. Investigating things from that period was nearly impossible.

Noticing my troubled expression, Carter gave my shoulder a gentle pat. "Mr. Sander has been through a lot lately, and his mind is all over the place. It's understandable if he doesn't remember anything right away. He might have a clue soon. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Hmm."

I rested against him and closed my eyes. "I'm glad to have you by my side."

"You didn't sleep last night. You should get some rest. I'll keep watch."

"Okay."

That day, the Sanders went to the cemetery, apologizing at my tombstone. But what did it matter? Chloe was gone forever.

I didn't want Carter to worry about me too much. Adults should be able to handle their emotions.

He had to manage his business, the Boltons, and everything else, and he was already stretched thin.

I decided to focus on other things and helped him with his daily tasks. Staying busy helped me avoid thinking about all the chaos.

It wasn't until I received a message from Yael that I was pulled back to my concerns.

"Zoey, it's my birthday tomorrow. Can you come?"

"Of course."
