Chapter 493 Chloe, Let Go!

I opened the door, and Carter quickly caught me. "Chloe, don't worry."

"Damian, what's happening?"

"Right now, we don't know what's going on with the cruise ship. They've changed their route, and just a day in, the entire ship lost signal today."

Seeing the worry on my face, Damian added quickly, "But so far, nothing has happened on the ship. If there had been an issue, she would have reached out before the signal was cut off. They must have taken the chance to block communication while everyone wasn't paying attention."

Carter pulled me closer. "Even if they've cut off the signal, it's not a big deal. A ship this large can't just disappear. As long as Whitney is still on board, Luther won't harm her."

"Yes. Maybe they've switched tactics or sensed something. And remember, there are also police forces involved, so don't worry."

I sighed, knowing worrying would not help.

Carter helped me back into bed. "Rest for now. I'll take care of it."

The sea outside was dark like a giant beast swallowing everything whole.

I wrapped myself in the blanket, my hands on my stomach.

"I'm sorry for worrying you."

Whitney, I hope you're safe.

I could not sleep that night, sitting up alone until dawn.

As soon as Damian found Carter, I hurried over. "Any updates?"

"Yes, some of the people from the cruise ship were moved last night."

"Those would be the students, right?"

"Correct."

"Where were they taken?"

"They've been transferred to a private island, which is likely one of their main bases."
