At that moment, it felt as if all the blood in my body rushed to my head, leavingcold and panicked.
I had been so careful-had | been found out?
My mind raced, trying to figure out a way to escape. They wouldn't harmat the Hudson Residence, but they
might have discovered who | was. What should | do?
Just as | was trembling in fear, a figure stepped forward. To my surprise, it was Luke!
With a cold expression, he said, "It's me. What are you two doing here?"
He exuded an air of tithority, showing no fear, and instead questioned the two of them.
To anyone watching, it looked like a privileged young man being questioned by staff, so his reaction seemed
normal. | seized the opportunity to slip away.
| moved briskly, the cold wind brushing against my face from both sides. | didn't dare pause for even a second.
The fear was overwhelming.
Who was backing Anna? Aside from that woman and Silas, how many others were working with her? How many
of them were hidden within the Hudson Residence? And what were their intentions?
"What's wrong?" Carter's voice broke through my racing thoughts, snappingback to reality.
Not far away, Damian was pushing Carter along. He must have noticed my distressed expression because he
gavea concerned look.
"Nothing," I replied quickly. "It's just so cold outside. | wanted to get indoors as fast as possible."
Though he could tell | wasn't being truthful, he chose not to pressfurther.
The moment | stepped into the living room, the warmth of the heater surrounded me, yet | still felt chilled to the
core.

While | had been making my moves, Anna had been doing the same.
She had doubtedfor stime.
It wasn't just a rivalry-it was a hidden war.
Sadie and Ethan had already becsacrifices in this silent conflict.
Inside, the room was alive with activity. Freshly cut flowers from the greenhouse filled the vases, their delicate
scent lingering in the air.

Women dressed in elegant outline, their makeup immulate, exchanged pleasant smiles and unde, sharp contrast
in the raging snowstorm outside
As Carter and Lentered, Fiona brought Anna over to greet me.
Anna's sharp eyes immediately fell on my pale face, he expression laced with suspicion
If Carter had noticed something was off about me, surely Anna would too
My habits and mannerisms were no longer the sas Zoey's. Even if she couldn't imagine something, as far-
fetched as rebirth, she could still sense that | wasn't who | appeared to be and consideredan enemy
"Mrs. Bolton, you don't look well. Are you feeling okay?" Anna asked, seemingly causal yet proting
| Silas had tested me, why wouldn't Anna do the same?
"| took a wrong turn on my way here" | explained quickly, "I ended up seeing, someone suggering a chicken/The
blood spilled everywhere it scared me
The older women nearby chimed in with their thoughts. "Let's not talk about bloody things during the New Year."
"It's just a chicken," a woman said dismissively, "Why get so frightened?"
My mom approached from where Bill was standing, her expression filled with worry. She wrapped her arms
aroundand said, "My daughter's been through a lot, so she's afraid of blood. Zoey, csit with me."
| took a seat beside her, deliberately letting the scars on my wrists show. "Mom, whenever | see blood, it reminds
I'm here for you," she replied, holdingclose,
Her hug was comforting, her embrace soft and warm. She smelled faintly of soap, a clean, natural scent that
wasn't overpowering like perfume.
Gradually, her touch cased the chill in my body, helpingfeel grounded again.
Carter cover and handeda cup of tea. "It's alright," he said.
| cupped my hands around the warm mug, letting the heat seep into my skin. As took a moment to collect my
thoughts, | noticed Kate sitting across the room, her eyes fixed on me.
She looked frail and withdrawn, her face thinner than before, and her distant gaze spoke of sorrow.
The loss of her son seemed to have taken a heavy toll on her.
Kate's intense stare was unsettling as if she were in skind of trance. Slowly, she rose and walked toward
me. "Chloe, I'm here."
Philippa, always gentle, now acted with firm resolve. She blocked Kate's hand and said coldly, "Mrs. Sander, this
is my daughter. Please keep your composure."

Anna quickly stepped forward, pulling Kate back. "Mom, have you forgotten? Chloe has been gone for a long
time."
Kate blinked as if waking up from a dream. Her eyes drifted to my forehead before she spoke again. "Yes, my
daughter has been gone for a long time. I'm sorry | thought you were her.
"It's alright," | replied calmly, without the bitterness or sarcasm | might have shown before.
This incident was a reminder-l needed to tread carefully around Anna from now on.
Leaning into Philippa's embrace, | said softly, "Mom, I'll never do anything foolish to make you worry again."
"That's my good girl," she said, stroking my arm gently
Kate continued to watch me, her thoughts seemingly far away.
Maybe she was reliving memories ofand the twe'd spent together.
But that had nothing to do with me.

For the rest of the night, | stayed close to my mom-not only to ensure her well-being during her pregnancy but
also to keep my mind off Anna.
It made sense that Zoey, after her suicide attempt, would change and try to start fresh.
Ashley, however, was different. His concern for Anna was an act. What he truly cared about was the child she
carried.
Thankfully, Sadie wasn't here tonight. Her presence would have only caused chaos.
The Hudsons were brimming with joy over the upcoming baby. They were already enthusiastically inviting
everyone to the wedding after the New Year.
Alisa sat close to Luke, serving him with such care and devotion that it was impossible to miss how deeply she
loved him.
Watching her, | couldn't help but see a reflection of myself.
| had once been like that, living entirely for someone else, as though under a spell. Gratitude for being saved had
consumed me, leaving no room for my sense of identity.
And then there was Bill, whose behavior was nothing short of absurd. He deliberately acted overly familiar with
my mom in front of Nicholas.
| observed them all with cold detachment, silently questioning the authenticity of their smiles.
How many of them truly meant what they showed?
It felt as if we were all characters in a staged performance, each playing our roles.
As the evening drew to a close, the guests began to leave. After reminding my mom to take care of herself, |
stood by and watched her get into the car.
