Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 456 Taylor, You Liar

Whitney couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling building inside her. Taylor had always vowed never to let her go. Last night, he claimed he was only letting her visit home, but now his words sounded like a final goodbye. Before she could make sense of it, he pushed her away, his voice firm. "Go before I change my mind." She looked at the familiar figure, feeling oddly.

It was as if he were a stranger.

She instinctively reached out, her lips trembling as though to speak, but no words came.

What could she possibly say? What could she even do?

That was the freedom she had dreamed of for two decades.

Now, the freedom she had yearned for was finally within reach. What more could she possibly ask for?

Even so, Whitney clutched her chest, puzzled by the strange, uncontrollable ache in her heart.

As the ship began to move, Taylor's figure faded from her view. As she passed me, I noticed a tear still clinging to her cheek, refusing to dry.

Perhaps she believed that was just a temporary separation. Knowing Taylor's possessive nature, she likely thought he would track her down no matter where she went.

But I knew better. Taylor still had unfinished business.

Last night, he entrusted Whitney to my care, determined to pursue the Commander's whereabouts.

He couldn't let the Carlyns' sacrifice be in vain.

Now that the bitter feud between the Sanders and the Carlyns had ended, Whitney had earned her freedom.

But someone like Taylor-someone with blood on his hands-was better off fading into the shadows alone.

He had kept Whitney innocent, ensuring she wouldn't have to bear the weight of his actions.

Her greatest heartbreak came the day Silas returned with my blood-soaked body, barely keeping me alive. The organ transplant had to happen before my time ran out, and my heart became Taylor's last hope. Whitney's body had developed a strong rejection reaction. There was no other option.

When she learned the truth, she couldn't accept it, but what was done couldn't be undone.
