So many tears, so much sweat–why are my tears still overflowing, unstoppable, flooding my vision until I can see nothing at all?
My lips trembled as I murmured, “Ca–Carl.”
I had never seen Carter so frantic, so desperate. He rushed to my side like a gust of wind.
Ignoring the wailing child beside him, he cupped my face, his voice filled with remorse. “Chloe, I’m sorry.”
A layer of mist clouded his dark eyes, and a few scorching tears fell onto my face. I looked at him and told him, “Carl, the baby… There’s still one more baby that hasn’t been born yet …”
Only then did he snap back to reality, turning to see the tiny infant lying in a pool of blood, umbilical cord still uncut.
“Chloe, don’t be afraid. The doctor is on the way. You and the baby will be okay. The baby’s already crowning, and the position is right. Just a little more effort!”
Behind him, Zoey barged in, cursing under her breath, followed by a trembling obstetrician fumbling with her instruments.
Fortunately, Carter had thought of every possible scenario. His meticulous planning was now proving to be invaluable.
Even Yael, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, had come. He looked at me with uncertainty. “Chloe, do you really not remember me?”
Zoey, seeing my current state, immediately covered his eyes with her hands.
“No peeking! Turn around. You’re not allowed to look.”
Yael grumbled, “But I-”
Before he could finish, Carter shot him a sharp, icy glare. “What exactly did you see?”
His bloodshot eyes still carried an unsettling, murderous intensity.
Even I felt a chill run through my body. Carter had lost so much weight, yet his presence had grown even more imposing.
His clothes were stained with blood from who–knows–where, his entire being exuding a cold, lethal aura. Yael swallowed his words and obediently turned away.
Meanwhile, Zoey had thrown herself beside me, her eyes red with tears. “My poor Chloe.”
I gave her a weak smile. “I’m not dead yet. Don’t start mourning me so soon.”
Seeing all these familiar faces, I felt an immense sense of relief, as if their presence had given me newfound strength.
The doctor worked efficiently, cutting the umbilical cord and gently bathing the newborn.
There were no baby clothes prepared here, so Zoey took off her outer coat and wrapped the baby up snugly.

“Congrats, it’s a little sister! She looks just like Chloe! She’s so strong, why don’t we name her Rocky?”
Yael peeked over, shaking his head. “What kind of name is that for a girl? She looks just as beautiful as Chloe. I think Susie sounds way better.”
Zoey rolled her eyes. “Are you serious?
However, Carter didn’t glance at the baby even once. He only looked at me.
Pressing a kiss to my sweat–drenched forehead, his voice was soft but firm. Just a little more, Chloe. It’s almost over. The baby is coming.”
I clenched my teeth and nodded. “Yes. Soon… our family will be together again.”
Seeing me in such agony, he rolled up his sleeve and offered me his hand. “If it hurts, bite me. Let me share some of your pain.”
I met his eyes, filled with guilt and remorse. He must have been torturing himself over and over these past few months
Why did he let me go to the airport that day? If I hadn’t gone, none of this would have happened.
He couldn’t truly feel my pain, but he was willing to do anything he could.
I understood his heart. To ease his guilt, I sank my teeth into the back of his hand.
Bit by bit, my teeth pressed into his flesh, but he didn’t seem to feel it at all. He just kept whispering my name, over and over again. “Chloe my
my Chloe.”
–
In his eyes, not even our children were as important as I was. He only saw me.
Then, a piercing cry filled the air. The doctor, overwhelmed with emotion, exclaimed, The baby’s out! Mr. and Mrs. Bolton, your child is safe and sound. You can rest assured now.”
Hearing those words, I finally let out a long breath of relief. And then, darkness swallowed me whole.
I slipped into a deep, endless dream.
In my dream. I became Chloe’s spirit again, floating in a place of utter darkness.
There was no one here. No voices. No sounds.
I looked down at my stomach. Wasn’t I just giving birth? But my belly was flat–no blood, no baby’s cries
Panic seized me. Was this not a dream? Was this the afterlife?
Where was Carter? Where were my children?
Driven by panic, I ran blindly in every direction, screaming, “Carl! Carl! Don’t leave me behind!”
This time, I couldn’t see them. I couldn’t hear them. It was as if I had been sealed inside a pitch–black box, the entire world reduced to nothing but my own desperate voice.
It was terrifying.
For the sake of my children. I had once pleaded with the heavens to take my life–just as long as my babies

But I never expected death to come so quickly.

The readers' comments on the novel: Even after Her Death (Chloe and Luke)
I take back my compliment and this is another novel I stop reading. Why are there so many chapters missing!!!! If much rather pay to read than read the rubbish on this site...
Finally a good story with mostly uninterrupted reading due to garbled paragraphs, which is evident in most of the other novels I've tried reading and given up on I'm thoroughly enjoying it!...
