NovelOnlineChapter 976: Daxton chuckled softly, relieved to see her spirits lift. After confirming with the doctor that it was safe for her to have, he asked Jennie to stay with Carrie and headed out to fetch it.
While Daxton was gone, the doctor prescribed smedication. Jennie stepped out to collect it, and shortly after, Carrie felt the need to use the restroom.
She stood slowly, steadying herself, and made her way to the restroom alone. Just as she reached the door, someone suddenly appeared from inside.

Carrie looked up, her heart racing, to find Kristopher glaring at her. His eyes were cold, and his grip was unyielding. Just behind him, Aliza stood trembling, her expression a mixture of fear and accusation, as if Carrie were a predator cornering her prey.
Kristopher glanced at a woman nearby who seemed to be a servant. "Take Aliza back to her room," he ordered coldly.
Aliza, reluctant to leave, pleaded softly, "Kristopher, yesterday wasn't Carrie's fault. I was standing too close to the stairs... I just lost my balance...” Kristopher's expression hardened. "Did you not hear me?" he barked at the servant. "Take her back to her room." Turning back to Aliza, his voice softened slightly. “Go back and rest. I won't let her near you again." The servant approached Aliza, supporting her gently. "Mrs. Norris, please listen to Mr. Norris. You've just had a miscarriage-you need to rest. Recovery from a miscarriage is just as crucial as postpartum care. Neglecting it could cause long-term issues." Seeing Kristopher's firm stance, Aliza reluctantly allowed herself to be led away.
She glanced back repeatedly, hesitation on her face.
Carrie took a steady breath, reminding herself of the child she was carrying. She didn't want to escalate things with Kristopher. Her voice was calm yet strained. "I wasn't trying to cause any trouble for Aliza. I just needed to use the restroom." But Kristopher's grip didn't loosen. "What a convenient coincidence," he sneered.
Kristopher moved closer, his presence imposing. Instinctively, Carrie stepped back, but he advanced relentlessly until her back hit the cold, unyielding wall.
His grip tightened around her wrist, pressing painfully against the spot where she had just received the injection. A sharp sting radiated through her arm, but she fought to keep her expression steady. Any reckless struggle could jeopardize the fragile life inside her.

Gritting her teeth, she steadied herself and met his gaze coldly. "I'm if yodly not feeling well if you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to get physical."
Kristopher's eyes burned with anger. "Not feeling well? My fiancée lost our child because of you my.
never even you my child, who had a chance to see the world. And you, the murderer, dare to speak tolike this?"
Carrie took a deep breath, her lips curling into a bitter smile. “Kristopher, have you totally lost your memory, or have you simply lost your mind? Why you's would I try to hurt Aliza? You're my ex-husband, not my husband."
