1 could feel the tension in the Sanders.

They didn't want Anna's pregnancy to be exposed now as it would ruin their marriage deal with the Hudsons.

Kate, who had been glaring at me just moments ago, suddenly softened, her eyes pleading

I smiled and said, "I just meant she'll have a stomach problem if she's too upset. Being scolded like that. Anna must not feel great either.

The Sanders seemed to relax a bit.

Fiona shot me a look of mild annoyance. "Mrs. Bolton, we're also in-laws. Don't you think you're being a little too harsh?"

Kate joined in. "What have we done to deserve this? Why do you have to push us so far?"

I ignored Kate and turned to Fiona with a look of grievance. "It's not my fault. All I did that day was ask Anna if she was the real S. Who could have known she would turn on me online? Do you have any idea how many days I've been scolded?"

When Fiona realized Anna had started it, she softened. But you shouldn't have humiliated her like that. Her reputation might not mean much, but it still reflects on us. And besides, Chloe is already gone. How can you be sure she was S or had depression?" Everyone's attention shifted to me, especially Anna, who looked like she wanted to rip me apart with her

eyes.

I guessed that was the question she had been waiting to ask.

I stayed calm and replied, "It's a coincidence. I had depression before, and I met Dr. Zimmer, who told me about Me Sander's secret. With all the recent online drama, Dr. Zimmer and I just wanted to stand up for Ms. Sander, which led to today. But...

I looked at Anna and added, "I suggested she back out of the competition early on, and this could have been avoided. I gave her that option. If she didn't take it, that's not on me.

You-Kate pointed at me, speechless and fuming

I smirked. "Mrs. Sander. I'm curious. Both Chloe and Anna are your daughters, yet you treat them so differently. Is Chloe not truly your daughter? Why are you so cold toward her?"

"That's nonsense! Chloe died because of her bad luck! Don't you dare blame us! Zoey Gardner, you're so heartless. Youll face retribution one day!

Her words made me uncomfortable. Kate had been my mother in a past life, but now she cursed me like

this.

She hit the mark with her words. In my past life, I had a painful death-that was my retribution.

I had come to watch the show, but her comment felt like a cold shower, wiping away all the joy I had left.

I stopped arong and calmly ad them. Mr. Sander return this message to you. If you're too harsh. youll eventually suffer the consequences Now that Me Sander is fine. I won't keep you any longer. Enjoy rit of graut enese

Turning away, I headed back to the car, where Caner iced my down mood

"What's going on?" he asked.

I shook my head. "Nothing"

I just felt a bit upset. My family never valued me during my life, and even after death, nothing had changed. What did all those years even mean?

Carter wrapped his arms around me. "Didn't I tell you or to keep everything inside? Don't forget that you've struggled with depression before. Do you want to go back to that?"

He rolled up my sleeve, revealing the scars from Zoey's wrist-cutting

The wound had healed, but it looked like a twisted line. Human bodies heal quickly, and as long as the scar wasn't pressed on. I wouldn't feel hurt anymore.

Capter made me face the scar directly. "You need to remember this. Don't make the same mistake. If Tomeone hurts you, they should feel the pain, not you ""Yes, I understand"

Even though I had been reborn, the memories still lingered like a shadow, hard to shake off.

"It's getting late. Are you hungry

After a long day, I was both exhausted and hungry,

"Yes, I am

"I'll take you to a place."

Carter took me to a private restaurant by the sea. After eating. I sat on the large terrace.

The cold sea breeze seemed to sweep away my bad feelings, and I felt a little lighter.

The sun began to set, coloring the sky dark.

Out of nowhere, a small spark of light appeared before my eyes. Carter handed me a sparkler.

I felt a little confused. "Aren't I too old for this? This seems like something for little girls."

I used to see young girls in their teens playing with sparklers in photos. I thought I was beyond that age.

He chuckled. "You're only 20. How old do you think you are? At your age, you should be enjoying life."

I watched as the sparkler's light faded. He handed me another one, its flame burning brightly.

"See? There's always light in this world. If it fades, we can always light it again. Life gets sweeter day by day if we keep making it sweet."

I took the sparkler and twirled it in the air. Ile was rigli At 20, I should act like it.

I used to keep all my negative emotions inside, but now I realized how refreshing it felt to let it all out.

Carter handed me a canned fruit wine. "Do you want to try? I heard young people like this."

The last time I drank. I ended up so drunk I blacked out I wasn't sure about alcohol this time.

1-

"Don't worry. It's low in alcohol, like a soft drink."

Seeing him act like an elder. I joked, "Thanks, Uncle!"

"You naughty girl."

I took a sip. The alcohol content was low, so I handed the can to him. "Uncle, do you want some?"

He was holding a glass of brandy. "This is what 'Uncle' drinks."

I felt a little tempted. Since my last life, I hadn't had alcohol. That night, I had drunk without even enjoying the taste.

"Can I have a sip?"

"No, you'll get drunk again: Don't forget that you can't handle alcohol." He raised the glass seriously.

I sat on his lap and reached for it.

"Come on, Uncle. Just one sip."

"You greedy girl. I guess I can't say no. Just one sip."

He handed me the drink, and I took a sip, but the strong liquor burned my throat like fire.

I used to enjoy that sharp sensation, as it helped me forget everything.

Unfortunately, my previous body had a high tolerance for alcohol, so I had to drink more to get drunk.

After finishing the drink, he noticed I still seemed dissatisfied. "That's enough, no more."

I raised a finger. "I promise, just one more, Carter. Just a little more."

He sighed and poured me another glass.

The drink slid down smoothly, but the effects hit quickly. As I reached for the bottle, I started feeling dizzy.

I swayed and almost fell, but Carter caught me in time.

I mumbled, "Carter, drink....

He gazed into my unfocused eyes, his voice soft yet tempting. "Want more?"

"Then call me honey, and I'll give you a drink.

My mind was hazy, and I mumbled, "Ho.... Honey

"Not just honey, but good honey."

I mimicked him, counting on my fingers, "Good honey I want more."

Before I could react, he cupped my chin, his warm lips meeting mine. The taste of alcohol filled my mouth, and I swallowed, some of it slippin
