Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 408 What If She's My Mother?

By the time we finished, both of us were drenched in sweat.

I leaned against Carter, feeling the warmth of his body. He kissed the top of my head before carrying me to the bathroom, where he carefully helped me clean up.

My makeup had long since been washed away. However, my face was slightly red and itchy, likely irritated from wearing the makeup for too long.

Carter's gaze lingered on the marks on my skin. His eyes softened with a hint of guilt. "I'm sorry, Chloe. I couldn't control myself earlier."

I shook my head and traced my fingers along his handsome features tenderly.

"I'll find a way to fix your voice," he promised.

I nodded. As long as I could see him again, losing my voice forever wouldn't matter.

Dipping my finger into the water, I wrote two words on the fogged-up glass, "Damian."

The past two days had been so chaotic that I hadn't had the chance to ask what happened after my disappearance.

Carter understood my unspoken question and began explaining in his calm voice. "The day he sent you away, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. Shortly after, I got news of the car accident-your car had collided with another, caught fire, and plunged into the ocean."

Hearing this, I instinctively grabbed his hand. He must have been devastated at that time.

Carter patted the back of my hand. "It's all in the past now."

I mouthed silently, "What about Damian?"

"He was injured. Though they pulled him out of the water alive, he ended up in the ICU. He only pulled through these past two days."

Damian must have known I had already been sent away. Knowing he had betrayed Carter and couldn't escape Amber's grasp, he chose to end his own life.
