Chapter 392 Shedding Her Skin 

Yael, no!” 

I snapped my eyes open, calling out his name before I could even think

The pain I had felt before losing consciousness surged back, overwhelming me, as if a wave had crashed

over me

I shot upright, scanning the room. To my surprise, I was lying in a bed, my clothes changed

After the brutal night with Carter, every inch of my body had ached

But now, there was no pain. In fact, I felt lighter, as if a burden had been lifted

Remembering what Yael had said about cleaning me up, I lifted my shirt. I couldn’t believe my eyes. marks Carter had left were completely gone

Not just thatmy skin had taken on an eerie, unnatural pallor

Zoey’s skin had always been pale, but now it was almost ghostly, a stark, cold white

The marks were gone, and even some moles and body hair had disappeared

It looked cleaner than anything you’d get at a fancy spa 

Now, my skin wasn’t just whiteit was smooth and glowing, like a newborn’s: soft and perfect

What kind of concoction could have such an effect

The lack of any strange sensations told me he hadn’t taken advantage of me, at least not physically

But the fact that my clothes had been changed still troubled me

The 

I took in my surroundings. The room was plain, but something felt off. It seemed like no one had been here for a long time. Even the sheets smelled faintly of mildew

Outside, I could hear the waves crashing against the rocks. Moving to the window, I hoped to find some way to escape

But as I peered out, my heart nearly stopped. There were dozens of snakes crawling along the rocks below

Vipers, all tangled together, their slithering making my skin crawl and my stomach twist

Ugh!

I clamped a hand over my mouth, stepping back, grateful I hadn’t opened the window. If I had, one or two of those snakes might’ve slithered in. I might not have died from a bite, but I would’ve been terrified out of my mind

Får off in the distance, I saw the first light of dawn creeping over the horizon. The sunrise looked beautiful

But after seeing those snakes, I couldn’t care less about the view

Chapter 392 Shedding Her Skin 

Yael had trapped methere was no way out now

No wonder he’d sprayed something on me before we arrived on the island. At first, I thought it was mosquito repellent, but now I realized it was probably to keep the 

This was an island of snakes

He hadn’t bothered to chain me, knowing full well I wouldn’t be able to escape

The room, though equipped with modern plumbing, was devoid of any means of communication

No phone, no television, no tablet, no computernothing

I opened the door and stepped outside. At once, I spotted someone sitting on a rock not far off

He seemed to sense my presence, turning to look at me 

Yael was dressed in a white shirt and beige pants, his tousled hair blowing gently in the breeze

The loose shirt billowed slightly in the wind, and a smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he greeted me cheerfully. Chloe, you’re awake.” 

It was such an idyllic scene. The boy radiated vitality and youth

It was almost impossible to reconcile this image with the man I had known before

I said nothing, watching him with caution

He walked toward me, the sunlight catching his face and bathing him in a warm glow

You look marvelous, Chloe.” 

I wore a simple white dress, my hair loose, and no makeup. The only mark on my face was a small red mole between my brows. The early morning sunlight cist everything in a soft, almost ethereal light, making the moment feel surreal

It was clear the brothers had similar tastes, even when it came to appearances

I had seen Whitney a few times beforeshe always wore white dresses as well

What’s in that drug? My voice came out hoarse, still raw from earlier

It’s a rejuvenating serum, sister. The only downside is the pain, he explained, grinning

Do you know how snakes shed their skin?” 

They shed it periodically

At the mention of it, a knot formed in my chest. My skin, smooth and new, felt like it had been completely renewed. That drug… 

Yael was now standing right beside me, looking down at me

He stood in the light, his figure outlined against the bright sky

I saved the skin you shed last night, sister,” he said, his voice filled with strange pride

Ugh.” 

The words made my stomach turn more than the sight of the snakes had..

How could human skin shed? I imagined it like the usual skincare routine, where you use exfoliants to remove dead skin cells

Perhaps his drug kept the skin intact, preserving it better

The thought made my stomach turn

Yael’s fingers lightly touched my cheek. You look even cleaner than before, Chloe.” 

He smiled, but all I could feel was a cold shiver down my spine

You could never predict his next move

I had to be careful. I didn’t want to anger him. He noticed my trembling and spoke softly. Chloe, are you scared of me

Anyone would. He was a monster

Don’t worry. As long as you behave and don’t try to escape, I’ll treat you 

well” 

Nearby, a few snakes slithered out of the rocks. I instinctively took a step back

There are many vipers here,he said

He handed me a spray bottle. Just spray this on yourself every day, and the snakes, bugs, and rats won’t bother you.” 

Are we the only ones on this island?” 

If you’re testing me, I won’t answer
