Images flooded Chloe Grant's mind.
Over the years, she had been living a carefree life with peace of mind.
Whenever something happened, there was always someone there to handle it for her, someone to comfort her and give her confidence.
She always thought it was Lucas Morgan doing all this, so she was utterly devoted to him.
But...
At this very moment, Chloe finally understood that there was someone who was always, always by her side, enduring all the pain that she should have borne.
Quietly sacrificing for her, yet never uttering a word.
All these years… he was always behind her.
But she…
Had never turned around to truly discern him.
"Chloe..."
Lucas Morgan crouched down, his face full of heartache, "He didn't want to tell you at the time because he was afraid you'd feel guilty."
"What if he had died back then?" Chloe suddenly let go of his hand.
