Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 410 Securing the DNA Sample

Even Harlan, as dense as he could be, noticed something different about Janice's body compared to before.

But I didn't have time to explain. Grabbing his collar, I made a quick gesture.

Thankfully, his brain worked fast this time. "You want me to follow him?" he asked.

I nodded.

Zoey abandoned her meal and followed us. I climbed into Harlan's car.

At least being with him wouldn't arouse suspicion.

I had known Carter for a long time. He was always calm, brooding, and ruthless.

But tonight, he was completely out of control.

I could understand him. He had been living in a lie for years.

But that wasn't even the worst part. The real blow was the high probability that Amber was his mother.

That would mean he shared blood ties with the Carlyns-those demons who had killed me.

The more he loved me, the harder it was for him to accept this truth.

Of course, we were still speculating. Everything was up in the air until we had the paternity test results.

Even if Amber was truly his mother, I wouldn't blame him.

I was only afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it.

After all, it had taken so much for me to come back to his side. The thought of losing him again terrified me.

Zoey, partially in the dark about the situation, noticed my distress. For once, she didn't joke around. Holding my hand solemnly, she said, "Don't worry. I'm here. No matter what happens, I'll stand by you."

In my past life, I didn't have many friends. Even those I did have drifted away after graduation.

I never imagined Zoey would become my closest companion, someone I'd entrust my life to.

Her face was so different from the Zoey I once knew. I couldn't help but recall her in that black dress with her pale face like a withered flower.

I was touched and my eyes stung with tears.

At least I wasn't facing this alone anymore.

I squeezed her hand and nodded at her.

Through the rearview mirror, Harlan saw our clasped hands. His brow furrowed slightly with confusion flickering in his eyes.
