hapter 403 Are You Surprised ? Whitney had already handed me her phone .
If I used it to contact someone outside , my chances of escape would greatly increase .
She clearly wanted me to C leave , not to be trapped here like her .
Yet , deep down , a part of her still wanted to see me again .
Her emotions conflicted throughout the day .
I wiped her tears and made a gesture to her .
If we leave , we leave together .
Leave ? She shook her head .
Hell never let me go .
I know too much .
Even if I die , it will be by his side .
As expected , Whitney had completely lost the desire to escape .
I shook my head and tried to tell her how beautiful the outside world was … Since the world is so wonderful , you shouldnt stay here with me .
Chloe , you must run if you get a chance … Whitney was only 25 , yet the light in her eyes resembled someone at the end of their life .
It shouldnt be this way.
I felt tears of frustration welling up .
I wanted to speak , to reason with her , but no words would come .
The limitations of my sign language made it impossible to fully convey my thoughts .
Finally , I managed to tell her with gestures .
I wont leave you .
Ill protect you .
Well get out of here together Perhaps not wanting to upset me further , she nodded vaguely .
I sighed .
Her mind was trapped in the confines of the past 20 years .
It wasnt something I could change in a day or two , nor with just a few words .
But I could start to show her that life held more than pain .
When I first came back to life , revenge consumed my thoughts .
It was Carter who taught me that love still existed in this world , that I hadnt been abandoned , and that I was still cherished .
Whitney , having suffered even more deeply , needed time and warmth to rediscover hope .
By the way , Chloe , you asked me about Amber before , didnt you ? I nodded quickly , signaling to her that Amber had tried to kill me and I wanted to know more about her .
1/3 14:30 Mon , Dec 30 Chapter 403 Are You Surprised ? Whitney spoke as she washed up .
Shes Yael and Taylors biological mother .
The answer caught me off guard .
097 % 1 +8 Pearls I had speculated about Ambers connection to Carter , wondering what had motivated her to care for him for so many years .
But now , learning she was the mother of the Carlyn brothers left me stunned .
I recalled Yaels reaction .
Hed never referred to her as mother or anything familial , he always called her that person .
He had once mentioned being abused by his mother .
What kind of person was Amber to have treated her sons that way ? Even Carter hadnt uncovered who Ambers husband was .
Turned out she was married to the late patriarch of the Carlyns .
Ambers desire to kill me as a member of the Carlyns made sense , but why would she show such care toward Carter ? Was imagining things ? Or did she have ulterior motives for staying close to him ? If she wanted something , surely she wouldve taken it by now .
Solving one mystery only seemed to uncover more .
I gestured again , asking Whitney what else she knew about Amber .
What kind of person was she in Whitneys eyes ? Whitney paused from brushing her teeth and said , Shes terrifying .
I had already suspected as much .
Shes cold toward the Carlyn brothers .
Its probably because of their late father .
I scribbled a question on the fogged mirror .
Do you know her connection to the Boltons ? Whitney shook her head .
I dont know .
I didnt interact with her much .
Honestly , even Yael and Taylor rarely see her .
Theyre both afraid of her .
She holds a high ranking position in that organization .
Those secrets are beyond my knowledge .
Amber was very likely the Lady Rose wed been investigating .
Whitney saw my worried expression and tried to comfort me .
Chloe , be careful .
Shell definitely show up at my wedding with Taylor .
I nodded .
Then , she handed me some toiletries .
I didnt clean my face , but I brushed my teeth and took a quick shower .
Dressed in Whitneys sleepwear .
it felt as if we had traveled back in time .
2/3 14:30 Mon , Dec 30 u 69 % Chapter 403 Are You Surprised ? +8 Pearls She had stopped sleeping with our parents but would often cling to me .
Late at night , she would stand outside my door , clutching a teddy bear .
She loved wearing my clothes and jumping out from hidden corners to scare me .
Although she wasnt the smartest of the Sander siblings , she was the most lively and cheerful one .
Now , I couldnt help but sigh looking at her being fragile and timid like a little rabbit .
Since Mute Girl and Whitney werent on the best terms , sharing a bed wasnt an option .
I settled for making a floor bed beside hers .
Knowing I was nearby , Whitney rested her head on the edge of the bed .
She could see me just by looking down .
That night , she fell asleep quickly .
She knew she wasnt alone anymore .
I couldnt sleep listening to her even breathing .

Carl , are you okay ? His broken , dejected expression before I left haunted me .
That night , Whitney didnt have any nightmares .
She slept soundly until morning .
When Taylor came in , she was still fast asleep .
He glanced at me , and I tactfully left the room .
Before I stepped out , I saw him bend down and kiss her forehead .
The way he looked at her was full of love .
But after hurting Whitney so deeply , did he truly think they had a future together ? The moment I walked out , Yael appeared with breakfast .
This time , I wasnt going to starve myself .
Whatever happened next , I needed energy first .
As I wiped my mouth , a loud , familiar voice rang out .
Whitney ! Whitney , Im here to see you again ! Are you surprised ? .
Turning around , I saw Zoey standing in the courtyard .
