Even after Her Death (Chloe and Luke)

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."

If Taylor passes the information along and the police arrive a the island in time, there could be both witnesses and physical evidence!

But what about Whitney?

Her phone is unreachable. What if she is still on the cruise ship?

"If everyone's been moved, then Taylor must have gone to the island too

I felt like an anxious ant, running around in circles, not knowing what was happening to Whitney at that

moment.

"Chloe, I got in touch with Taylor. He's bringing in military forces to secure the island. They won't be able to escape. The secrets on that island are far bigger than anything we found at the car repair shop." The wait felt endless. I watched as the sun rose and set, having not slept in over a day.

However, I was not feeling the slightest bit tired.

The island was drawing closer, and soon the sound of gunfire reached us as a massive battle erupted.

The island was teeming with armed militants, and various factions were locked in combat.

My anxiety grew as the sun sank lower in the sky. Carter soon received a message that the people on the island had been subdued.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but my worry did not ease. "What about Whitney?"

"We haven't found any sign of her yet."

Carter knew I would not be at peace until I saw her for myself, so he made sure the area was safe before taking me to the island.

As everyone continued to search, I heard a report over the walkie-talkie, "Shadow spotted on the west cliff -two men and a woman, one is a girl in white."

"Whitney!"

My heart raced, and I immediately took off in that direction.

"Chloe, slow down! Be careful!" Carter called after me, quickly catching up and lifting me up.

I clutched his clothes tightly, fear consuming me. I had no idea what had happened to Whitney, but the other two were surely Taylor and Luther. What would happen to her between them?

"It's okay, Whitney will be fine," Carter tried to comfort me,

As we neared the cliff's edge, I heard Whitney's agonized voice.

I broke free from Carter's hold and ran toward the sound.

"Chloe, wait!" Carter's warning was barely out of his mouth when I heard a gunshot.

Damian's voice echoed, "Mrs. Bolton, be careful!"

Carter acted swiftly, spotting the shadows in the woods and immediately firing without hesitation. Call for backup, quickly!" he ordered.

Gunshots rang out behind us, but Carter kept me shielded. All I could think about, though, was Whitney

I saw a slender figure standing at the edge of the cliff, and I rushed toward her.

"Chloe Whitney turned toward me, a sad smile on her face. He's already contacted the police. There evidence I found on this phone. With the chics we gathered the police should be able in catch thero all Chapter 493 Chloe, Let Go!

"Yes, Whitney, you're doing great," I said, sensing something was wrong with her. I tried to comfort her, "Come over here, it's windy on the cliff, and you're not feeling well. You could catch a cold." Whitney smiled faintly. "Chloe, he's gone, and I can't go on without him."

Luther and Taylor were nowhere to be seen. This was bad.

"Whitney, don't overthink. You still have me. I only have you as a family now. Don't you want me either?"

"Chloe, I'm sorry. Just consider me dead already. I will leave my phone here. I hope you can save more innocent people."

She set her phone down and ran toward the edge of the cliff. Without thinking, I ran after her, not knowing where the courage came from. I managed to grab her hand just as she was about to fall.

The scene was so familiar, like the one from years ago. Back then, I was just a child, unaware that letting go would separate me from my little sister for 20 years.

It was a dream I often had in the dead of night, and every time, I told myself not to let go.

"Whitney, I let you go once before, but this time I won't let go of your hand," I said, my grip firm.

Yet, the situation today was different-she was determined to die.

"Chloe, you're pregnant. Let go, don't get hurt because of me."

Tears fell from my eyes and onto her face as I begged, "Whitney, please stay alive. For me, for the child I'm carrying, don't you want to hear them call you Aunty?"

"Chloe, living like this is so draining. I can't do it like you. Everyone looks evil to me. I don't want to interact with anyone, and I don't even know the purpose of my life anymore. I used to think that once I crossed the mountains, I'd be free ...

"But then I realized, he's not out there in the world anymore. Just being able to see you and my family again makes me happy enough. Chloe, you must live well. I need to go find him. He lived his whole life for others, and I don't want him to die alone."

The sea breeze gently ruffled her hair, and she gave me a peaceful smile. "Chloe, I chose this, so I won't regret it. Let go."

I shook my head desperately. "No, I won't let go, not even in death!"

The wind stung my eyes, and Carter caught sight of me from a distance, panic written on his face.

"Chloe, hold on, I'm coming." He ran toward me after his last shot.

Whitney's hand slipped from mine.

The water had once separated us, and now she had given up hope on life.

"Chloe, I can't turn back.

"Live with my hope. Please convey my apologies to Mom and Dad for me. I was unfilial.

"It's been so good being your little sister in this life."
