Even after Her Death +8 Pearls Chapter 405 Can You Bear to Leave Me ? Ever since being schemed by Damian , every day had been filled with anxiety , and Id been desperate to see Carter again .
Last night , we parted so quickly that I didnt even get a good look at him .
He had cleaned himself up just to see me .
The stubble from the video call was gone and every strand of his hair was perfectly styled .
He didnt want me to see him looking disheveled , but I could still tell hed lost weight .
In just a few short days , his features had become sharper and his entire presence radiated an intense aura .
I reached out to brush away the shadow clouding his brow .
I wanted to call his name , but no sound would come out .
Chloe , come with me .
I cant leave you with the Carlyns anymore , he said .

I silently mouthed his name .
Carl .
Conflicting emotions tore at me .
If it were anyone else from the Sanders , I wouldnt hesitate to leave .
But it was Whitney .
She was a victim , too.
I thought about the excitement in her eyes when I returned last night .
She wanted me to escape , yet at the same time , she didnt want me to leave her behind .
I understood Carters concern for me .
He would risk his life to ensure I survived .
If anything happened to me , hed lose his mind .
He didnt know I had already lost the Stone of Duality .
My fate would no longer transfer to him .
Every moment I stayed with the Carlyns felt like dancing on the edge of a blade .
Perhaps fate would have its way after all , and I would end up dying at their hands .
My rationality told me to leave and to get as far away from them as possible .

Well have children , lots of adorable children .

I stayed silent , giving him neither a reply nor a promise .
Whitney had endured 20 years of suffering , but hadnt he waited 20 years for me as well ? No matter what decision I made , one of them would be in pain .
Carl , please dont force me .
I pleaded with him silently .
He let out a soft sigh .
Alright , I wont force you .
Just when I thought he was about to give in , our eyes met .
His gaze was deep and unwavering .
Then , he pulled out a white cloth , ready and waiting .
Before I could react , he pressed it against my nose and mouth .

Ive never been a good person .
Please forgive my selfishness .
There will never be anyone more important to me than you .
