Chapter 408 What If Shes My Mother ? By the time we finished , both of us were drenched in sweat .
+8 Pearls I leaned against Carter , feeling the warmth of his body .
He kissed the top of my head before carrying me to the bathroom , where he carefully helped me clean up .
My makeup had long since been washed away .
However , my face was slightly red , and itchy , likely irritated from wearing the makeup for too long .
Carters gaze lingered on the marks on my skin .
His eyes softened with a hint of guilt .
Im sorry , Chloe .
I couldnt control myself earlier .
I shook my head and traced my fingers along his handsome features tenderly .
Ill find a way to fix your voice , he promised .
I nodded .
As long as I could see him again , losing my voice forever wouldnt matter .
Dipping my finger into the water , I wrote two words on the fogged up glass , Damian .
The past two days had been so chaotic that I hadnt had the chance to ask what happened after my disappearance .
Carter understood my unspoken question and began explaining in his calm voice .
The day he sent you away , I couldnt shake the feeling that something was wrong .
Shortly after , I got news of the car accident- your car had collided with another , caught fire , and plunged into the ocean .
Hearing this , I instinctively grabbed his hand .
He must have been devastated at that time .
Carter patted the back of my hand .
Its all in the past now .
I mouthed silently , What about Damian ? ww He was injured .
Though they pulled him out of the water alive , he ended up in the ICU .
He only pulled through these past two days .
Damian must have known I had already been sent away .
Knowing he had betrayed Carter and couldnt escape Ambers grasp , he chose to end his own life .
The fact that he survived was a miracle in itself .
I thought of the tall , silent man who had shielded Carter and me more than once .
I gestured to Carter , Carl , dont blame him .
He had no other choice .
Carters expression darkened slightly .
You dont blame him ? He deceived me and sent you to Yael .
Iresponded with gestures , He had no other option .
Amber is the real mastermind .
Even though Thad hinted at Ambers attempts to kill me in my messages , the Doltons meant something different to him .
They had never hurt him directly .
Deep down , I feared Carter might take their side , that my place in his 1/3 14:31 Mon , Dec Chapter 408 What If Shes My Mother ? My thoughts spiraled into uncase .
Carter interrupted my turmoil , holding my hand tightly as he spoke softly .
I understand .

Everyone thought you were dead .
I squeezed his fingers and mouthed , What about you ? When I first got the news , I couldnt accept it .
I sent countless people to search the waters .
They searched day and night but found nothing .
I couldnt imagine what Carter went through during those endless hours .
The area was treacherous , with strong underwater currents .
Many rescuers believed you were swept away and your body lost forever .
Whether to find you or avenge you , I started piecing everything together , reviewing every detail .
Soon , I realized something was off .
I had someone investigate Damians recent movements and the strange behavior of the Doltons the day before the accident .
I always knew Carter was brilliant , but to stay composed under such circumstances especially when dealing with people as close to him as Amber and Damian was astonishing .
I mouthed , What did you find ? Damian was adopted by Amber .
I saved him years ago , and since then , hes been by my side .
But he never mentioned Amber , which means our meeting wasnt a coincidence it was orchestrated .
When I was struggling in Jaford , with my leg still untreated , Damian stayed by my side through thick and thin .
I thought it was out of gratitude for saving him , but now I realize he was Ambers pawn all along , planted to protect me .
Hes skilled in combat , proficient with all kinds of weapons .
Hes a top tier mercenary .
It wasnt an accident when I was pushed into the sea and saved by the Doltons .
Maybe the Doltons placed Damian by my side to ensure I wouldnt face danger again .
I was confused and I mouthed , How did you figure it out ? Because of Tiffany .
Remember the day she lured me to the hotel and drugged me ? I contacted Amber .
When she arrived , she attacked Tiffany without hesitation , almost beating her to death .
Amber said something that stuck with me .
She said that Tiffany and Vare absolutely impossible .
Her tone was so decisive , it was strange .
When the drugs wore off , I reflected on everything .
What could make a man and a woman cant be together ? I wrote two words on the glass , Blood relation .
Exactly .
Thats when everything clicked .
Why the Doltons have always treated me so well , why Amber stop me from being with Tiffany it must be because I share a blood relationship with the Doltons .
Your disappearance and Damians silence in the ICU made me suspect Amber was involved .
If she is , then this scheme was set up over a decade ago .
Damian might not even be her only spy around me .
I didnt know if you were truly gone , so I could only investigate quietly And then , you called me .
I had worried Carter wouldnt believe me , but he had already uncovered so much on his own .
21 14:31 Mon , Dec 30 uu Chapter 408 What If Shes My Mother ? 67 % +8 Pearls I added another bombshell to the glass , Whitney told me Amber is the Carlyn brothers biological mother .
I had someone follow her in secret and saw her meeting Taylor for coffee .
I guessed they had some connection but didnt expect them to be mother and son .
The Carlyn brothers relationship with Amber intrigued me , but I was even more curious about her connection to Carter .
I mouthed , If theyre mother and sons , then what about you ? Whats Ambers relationship with you ? Carters expression shifted as if he already had an answer but was reluctant to say it .
I pressed , Carl , have you thought of something ? Instead of answering , Carter stood up and wrapped me in a towel .
Youve soaked long enough .
Lets get out .
I grabbed his wrist and looked at him stubbornly .
Carl , stop hiding things from me .
No more secrets .
The last time , the Stone of Duality had already shaken me to my core .
Carter sighed helplessly as he met my eyes .
Let me dry your hair first .
He helped me change into pajamas and gently blow dried my hair .
My face burned from the allergic reaction , but my heart raced for a completely different reason .
Once everything was done , I sat quietly , waiting for his response .
After a long pause , Carter finally spoke solemnly , Chloe , what if … shes my mother ? N
