Loved You Once But He's My Forever (Chloe) novel Chapter 517

I couldn't control my body; an unseen force yanked me forward, my speed whipping past Carter, tousling his hair.

While everyone's attention was on Everett, Carter seemed to sense something was amiss and turned in the direction I was being pulled away.

"Chloe?"

There was no response. Everett, clearly alarmed, began searching for me immediately.

When they realized I was no longer in the room, not only Everett but even Everly started to cry.

Carter grew visibly uneasy. Something was very wrong!

He couldn't console his two children; their time together must've been so long that he could feel my presence even without seeing me. But now, he felt nothing!

He distinctly felt a draft, an impossibility in the warmth of the room. Upon feeling it, a hollowness washed over him.

But Carter wouldn't give him the chance. He sped through the storm, racing to the hospital.

Damian followed closely, horrified by the reckless speed in the treacherous weather.

Carter was terrified—terrified of receiving the news that Chloe had stopped breathing.

When he finally arrived, Carter feared stepping out of the car. Damian gently opened the door. "Mr. Carter ... "
