Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 458 Mediators

I ignored Kate's cries and walked straight to the helicopter.

There was too much I had to do, too many people I cared about, and no time to waste on the Sanders.

If Chloe were still alive, I would have felt obligated to care for them. Since parents raise their children, and it's often expected that children repay them.

But after everything that had happened using my ashes for soup-I figured all debts were settled.

The only person I couldn't leave behind was Whitney.

She was almost 26 now, no longer the little girl she once was. I could support her whenever she needed me.

All I could do as her sister was to respect and understand her choices. If she wanted to stay with the Sanders to look after her family, as long as she was safe and healthy, that was all that mattered. As the helicopter soared, I felt distancing myself from all the trouble. More than the Sanders, I worried about Zoey and Harlan.

They had been innocently dragged into this mess, and I felt guilty.

I went straight to the hospital.

When I arrived, I heard Zoey complaining. "You're so picky with food. Perfect timing, though, your beloved sweetheart is here. You might like the food she made. You haven't changed at all!"

Harlan looked miserable sitting in a wheelchair with his hand in a cast. It was clear his injuries were worse than just a few broken ribs, as Carter had claimed.

He looked almost like a mummy.

Zoey pushed his wheelchair with a determined look. "There's no surveillance here. Maybe I should just let go and send you on your way, turning you into a vegetable. You can have Nina come over and take care of you, even wipe your butt." She made a sinister face and added, "She loves you so much. She should be willing to love all of you, right?"

"Janice ... "I quickly interrupted. Zoey had become a little more quirky since we last saw each other.
