RedNovelChapter 632:
“So what?” She turned fully, her gaze sharp and resolute. “At least he won't hurt me—or my family.”
And with that, she turned back to Reece, slipping her arm under his to steady him. Together, they stepped into
the elevator, and the doors slid shut behind them without so much as a backward glance.
Carrie had implied, without hesitation, that even if Reece was merely using her, it did not matter to her.
It was a harsh truth, one Kristopher could not ignore. He had hurt her countless times, failed to shield her from
harm, and had been powerless to protect her family when it mattered most. The weight of these realizations,
compounded by the fresh sting of anger, sent a shockwave through him. His chest tightened under the strain,
and before he could stop it, he coughed violently, blood staining his lips.
“Ah!” Aliza shrieked, her face going pale. In a flash, she was at his side, clutching his arm with trembling hands.
“Kristopher, the car is ready. Please, let us get you to the hospital!”
Kristopher, however, remained unyielding. With a cold, detached motion, he pulled his arm from her grasp. “I am

Aliza hesitated, her eyes wide with worry. She made to reach for him again, but Oliver stepped between them.
His demeanor was calm yet resolute as he addressed her. “Miss Herrera, Mr. Herrera, thank you for your
hospitality. | will escort Mr. Norris for a medical check-up. We will contact you regarding our collaboration once
everything is settled.”
Bernie, who had been standing stiffly in the background, finally found his voice. He had not anticipated such a
tic turn of events, and the tension left him visibly rattled. Both Kristopher and Reece were men of
influence—offending either could spell disaster.

Relieved that Oliver bore no animosity, Bernie quickly moved to shield Aliza, speaking with hurried politeness.
“Of course, Oliver. Please see to Mr. Norris's health. If there is anything you need, do not hesitate to reach out.”
Aliza, however, was far less composed. This moment—this vulnerable, human moment—seemed like her chance
to connect with Kristopher on a deeper level. Yet, her father’s intervention left her with little choice.
Reluctantly, she managed a strained smile and said, “Oliver, please let us know Mr. Norris's test results. We will
be worried until we hear from you.”
“Understood, Miss Herrera,” Oliver replied smoothly, already following Kristopher as he entered the elevator.
Morrison Family Residence
Reece, expecting Kristopher to head directly to the hospital, acted swiftly. He summoned a family doctor to the
house, ensuring there would be no accidental encounters between Carrie and her former husband.
The doctor worked efficiently, tending to Reece's injuries. When he finished, he turned to Carrie with a reassuring
smile. “Miss Campbell, Mr. Morrison is perfectly fine—just a few minor scrapes and bruises.”
In the Morrison family, it was now an unspoken rule—Carrie held the highest status. Every decision, no matter
how minor, was funneled through her first.
Carrie nodded but frowned slightly, her worry not entirely eased. “Kristopher has a strong grip,” she said
thoughtfully. “Are you sure there are no fractures or internal injuries? Perhaps a CT scan at the hospital would be
safer.”
