Even after Her Death (Chloe and Luke) novel Chapter 399

Chapter 399 Reaching Out to Carter 

Whitney’s face drained of color as she read the words, her eyes wide with shock, unable to comprehend what she had just seen. 

“How can this be? I distinctly saw Chloe … 

I motioned to my throat to show that I couldn’t speak, then wrote a few words on the foggy glass. 

I have been reborn. 

It seemed like a light bulb went off in Whitney’s mind. “Are you Zoey?” 

She now understood the reason behind my approach. 

I gave a slight nod and gestured to confirm it was indeed me. 

Whitney suddenly embraced me tightly. “Chloe, I’m so sorry, I couldn’t protect you. I had to watch those monsters… they did horrible things to your body…” 

Her voice broke, and she couldn’t finish her sentence. 

Thad been correct all along–Taylor’s vengeance wasn’t just aimed at me, but also at Whitney. He made her witness the horrific destruction of her beloved sister. 

No, it wasn’t just about me; it was the collapse of the entire Sander family, and Whitney was forced to watch it all. 

That was why she had been tormented by nightmares, trapped in a life worse than death, unable to escape. 

Tears streamed down her face, and I felt just as helpless. 

The sting wasn’t just in my nose; my eyes burned as well. 

But with my makeup in place, I was afraid the tears would ruin it, so I held them back, forcing myself not 

to cry. 

I softly patted Whitney’s back, trying to reassure her that Sadie had returned, that I was truly here to save her. 

Whitney cried for what felt like an eternity before finally calming down. I gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, my heart aching for her. 

“What’s happened to your voice?” she asked in a strained voice. 

I wrote down a name on the paper, Yael. 

“Those devilish brothers! Chloe, I dream of killing them to avenge you, these monsters!” 

I continued to ask about what had happened, and Whitney gave a rough explanation, which wasn’t too different from what I had suspected. 

At first, Taylor had sought revenge on her, tormenting her, but somehow, he ended up falling in love with her. He even wanted to marry her and have children.

“I despise this madman with every fiber of my being. How could I ever bear his child?” 

Every time Whitney uttered his name, her voice dripped with venom. 

I scribbled another name, Amber. Are you familiar with her? 

By now, I was already aware of the deep enmity between the Carlyns and the Sanders. 

Amber was simply the missing piece of the puzzle. 

Whitney nodded, just about to say something. “She” 

A knock interrupted her from outside. It was Taylor.

“Whitney, are you finished with your shower? The car’s here, and the weather’s great–ideal for taking wedding photos.” 

Ah, that’s right; today was the day they were going to shoot their wedding pictures. 

I shot Whitney a glance, silently urging her to keep playing along. 

She responded icily, ‘Give me five more minutes.” 

“Alright, I’ll wait for you outside,” he replied without hesitation. 

Whitney hurriedly finished rinsing, worried that Taylor might still be lingering outside the door. Neither of us dared to speak further. 

I jotted down a question, Janice gave you a phone–where is it? 

Opening a cabinet, Whitney retrieved a box of skincare products, revealing the phone cleverly concealed within it. 

Handing it to me, she whispered softly, “Don’t use it here; the signal will give it away.” 

No wonder she hadn’t heard from Whitney until now. Thankfully, I hadn’t done anything out of the ordinary, or I would’ve been caught on the spot. 

It was perfect timing–they were heading out for an on–location wedding photoshoot. This gave me the 

chance to reach Carter! 

I concealed the phone carefully, silently marveling at how Zoey had once again come to my rescue. 

We didn’t dare linger. I helped Whitney get ready in a hurry and sent her on her way, 

Taylor stood at the doorway, cigarette in hand. When he noticed Whitney’s tear–streaked face, his brows knit together in concern. 

Extinguishing the cigarette, he wrapped an arm around her and softly stroked her check. “Why are you crying again?” he asked gently. 

Whitney didn’t respond–neither rejecting his touch nor uttering a word. 

I trailed silently behind them, keeping my gaze fixed on the ground.

Just as they were about to step into the car, Taylor cast a glance my way and curtly instructed, “You’re staying here.” 

Whitney interjected, “I want Mute Girl to come with me.” 

Though I wasn’t sure what had changed between them, it was clear that Taylor had grown far more patient with her. To my surprise, he actually relented. 

“Alright, but she rides in a different car,” he said. 

At last, I had the opportunity to leave the house. Yael, however, decided to tag along, likely worried I might try to escape. “Get in my car,” he commanded, his tone leaving no room for argument. 

Taylor shot him a puzzled look, clearly suspicious. “Why are you tagging along to my wedding photoshoot?” 

“Obviously, I’m here to observe and pick up some tips. I’ll need them when it’s my turn, Yael replied smoothly, his tone light and casual. Taylor’s eyes flicked between the two of us, as though trying to decipher what was really going on. 

I kept my gaze fixed downward, ensuring he couldn’t read anything on my 

face. 

“Let’s move, Mute Girl,” Yael said as he slid into the driver’s seat. When I reached for the back seat, he smirked and quipped, “What, do I look like your chauffeur?” 

Left with no other choice, I climbed into the front passenger seat, keeping my head bowed once more. 

As I clicked the seatbelt into place and glanced sideways, my eyes accidentally locked with Taylor’s. 

Το my shock, he hadn’t looked away–he had been watching me the entire time. 

The moment our gazes connected, Yael casually rolled up the car window and said, “Let’s go.” 

Inside, I was a mess. My palms were slick with sweat, and a chill ran down my spine. 

In this house, Yael was the only one who wouldn’t strike me down immediately if my true identity were exposed. Everyone else in the Carlyn family? They’d kill me without a second thought. 

“Chloe, you’re anxious,” he said. 

Before I could respond, he noticed the troubled expression on my face and reached over to ruffle my hair. “Sorry, I forgot you can’t speak.” 

I tapped on the car window and pointed behind him, drawing his attention to the person. 

“Do you think my brother has figured you out? It’s possible. He’s always been sharp, and I can’t just ignore you. It’s only a matter of time before he catches on.” 

Noticing how serious I looked, he added, “Relax. As long as it’s not her, even if my brother realizes who you are, he won’t kill you.” 

He was referring to Amber. 

Regrettably, Whitney hadn’t managed to share more about this subject earlier.
