Chapter 74 Chloe Is Right Beside You

Esmee wasn't in immediate danger, but her injuries were severe enough to keep her in the ICU.

Her parents were devastated, feeling as though their daughter's fate was unbearably cruel.

Luke spent the entire day at the hospital, waiting until evening when the doctor finally allowed him a brief visit with Esmee-just three minutes. Beatrice, although unsure why he seemed so concerned about her daughter, understood that he had saved Esmee's life, so she didn't object. After putting on sterile clothing and disinfecting, Luke entered the ICU, and I followed closely behind.

I was filled with anxiety, unsure of Esmee's condition or whether she would even recognize me.

I couldn't read Luke's expression either; his expression was as heavy as his footsteps.

When he saw Esmee lying in the bed, hooked up to various machines, I stepped forward and gently called her name, "Esmee, are you okay?" Though she opened her eyes halfway, looking exhausted, there was still a spark in her gaze, unlike before when she seemed distant and unfocused. She looked past me and straight at Luke. Could it be that she couldn't see me anymore?

I waved my hand in front of her face. "Esmee, it's me!"

Luke, standing by the bed, spoke with less urgency than before, "Do you recognize me?"

Esmee's voice was weak as she tried to speak, "You... Mr. Bolton."

That meant she was conscious. Before Luke could reply, Esmee asked, "Where's Chloe? Why didn't she ... come with you to see me?"

Her voice was faint and broken, but her words had a huge impact on Luke.

His

eyes widened, and he murmured, "What did you say? Where is Chloe?"

Esmee continued, "When the car hit me and I flew through the air, wasn't Chloe with you? Didn't you see her?"

I finally understood what horror meant.

There was only Luke, but Esmee saw two people.

If anyone had said this to me while I was alive, I would have been terrified. But since I was already dead, I found it strangely amusing.

I watched Luke's face, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.

Esmee didn't know what he was thinking and kept going, "I thought Chloe was dead. It scared me, but now I'm glad she's alive. 18:01 Sat, Dec 7 ti G.

"What do you mean Chloe is dead? Explain!" Luke's emotions were quickly spiraling out of control.

Esmee seemed frightened by his reaction, but her mind was clearer now, and she didn't scream as she might have before.

She whispered, "It was the night of your wedding. I saw a man throw a woman into a car. Her waist was bleeding badly, and the seat was soaked with blood." "Did you see her face?"

"I was terrified. But before the door closed, the woman's head drooped to the side. I caught a glimpse of her face, and she looked a lot like Chloe."

Luke's legs began to shake, and his chest heaved with emotion. He was stunned, unable to fully process what he was hearing.

Esmee went on, "At the time, I thought it was Chloe. I was so scared and went straight to the police station to report it, but that's when I ran into human traffickers and got taken away that same night." Luke's sweat had gone from a few beads to streams running down his cheeks. His body trembled uncontrollably, and his breathing grew shallow.

You... you..."he stammered, struggling to speak. It took him a while to compose himself, finally asking, "So, you saw her today?"

Esmee found his question odd but answered anyway, Yes, she was right next to you. When she saw me, she rushed over."

Luke asked again, his voice barely steady, "What did she look like?"

Esmee smiled faintly as she remembered. "Chloe was wearing a white dress. Her hair wasn't tied up, and she looked just as gentle as always. There was a soft glow on her-like an angel."

She paused for a moment, then added, "But it's strange. Why was she only wearing a dress in the middle of winter and barefoot? Was she not cold?"

At that moment, a loud thud echoed through the room as Luke collapsed, fainting from the shock.
