Loved You Once But He's My Forever (Chloe) novel Chapter 493

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 at 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.

"Our team is already on the island, and they'll be sending back data soon."

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!"
