Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 576 Goodbye

Reuniting with Chloe was the last thing Anna ever expected. It felt surreal, almost like a dream, but the warmth of Chloe's embrace was genuine.

Chloe had given her a heart, and now she had come back in another body, still trying to protect her.

At that moment, all the pain and humiliation of the past years suddenly seemed trivial. Her sister, Chloe, was alive.

Those few days were the happiest she had known in a long time. Chloe never left her side. Even when she had to go for a while, she always came back.

With her around, even Taylor didn't seem so unbearable anymore.

Still, Anna constantly feared that Taylor would find out about Chloe. So she pretended not to be close to her, acting like they barely knew each other in public.

What she didn't know was that Taylor had seen everything.

On a quiet night, he stood outside, smoking in the dark.

He had known from the start that the woman was Chloe, but he held no hostility toward her, so he simply ignored her.

After Anna's suicide attempt, their relationship hit rock bottom. Having Chloe nearby at least gave her a reason to smile. Besides, Yael had already arranged for Chloe to be by Taylor's side.

Taylor often watched quietly from the shadows as Anna and Chloe spent time together.

The once lifeless girl began to smile again.

Her appetite had always been poor, and even now, as an adult, she was so thin that holding her felt like hugging a bundle of bones.

Chloe devised creative ways to tempt her into eating more, and then Janice joined them.

Her bright, bubbly personality occasionally made Anna laugh out loud.

It felt like life was finally turning around. Taylor was finally going to fulfill his long- held wish to marry Anna.

He had prepared everything in advance. There were wedding photos and a custom wedding dress.

He wanted Anna to be the most beautiful bride in the world.

But all the planning in the world couldn't have predicted what came next.

When he got word that the bridal car carrying the three of them had crashed, his heart nearly exploded.

He knew it was the Carlyns' doing, but he was terrified. What if he couldn't protect her?

By the time he reached Anna, she was already cold and lifeless.
