Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 471 Corpse

Seeing Whitney so helpless and fragile, I couldn't help but hold her close. "This is just the initial news. There's still a chance things might turn around. Don't cry. You have to believe in him."

In my arms, Whitney nodded softly. Even her sobbing was quiet and restrained, making her all the more endearing.

No wonder Taylor, even as an adversary, had wanted to protect her back then.

"Carter's already sent people to investigate. Don't worry."

"Okay," she murmured, her voice like a small, whimpering animal.

Seeing her like this, I couldn't bring myself to leave. With the Sanders family in disarray, and Kate preoccupied with caring for Josh, I decided to stay and keep Whitney company.

Carter, worried about me, didn't feel comfortable leaving either. He ended up spending the night on the sofa outside the suite, looking more than a little cramped with his long legs awkwardly bent. Seeing him like that made my heart ache. "I'm sorry... He took my hand and pulled me into his lap, wrapping his arms around me from behind and resting his chin on my neck.

"It's fine. Whitney is your family, which makes her my sister. I understand, so you don't need to apologize. We're husband and wife."

He nuzzled my cheek gently. "Compared to everything else, I'm just grateful to hold you. And now we have a child on the way."

His large hand rested over my abdomen, where our little life was growing. This truly was a blessing.

"Let Damian bring you another blanket," I suggested.

"Sure, I'll do whatever you say."

We exchanged a smile. Compared to Whitney and Taylor, who couldn't be together and were now separated by life and death, I considered myself fortunate.

When Damian brought the blanket, I took the opportunity to ask about the man in glasses.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Bolton. I just taught him a lesson. He'll need a few months to recover, but during that time, he won't bother Ms. Whitney again."

"Thank you."

"It's my duty."

I bent down to help Carter with the blanket, but he quickly stopped me. "I'll handle it myself."

He efficiently made his bed and turned off the lights, settling in obediently. "Go be with her. I'll be fine."

I knew he said that just to ease my worries. Leaning down, I hugged him tightly. "Amber will be okay."

His body stiffened slightly before he murmured, "Okay."
