NovelGoldChapter 1087:
Carrie waved it off quickly. “No need. I'm not sure how long I'll be here. Ruby and I are grabbing dinner afterward
anyway.”
There was a beat of silence on the other end. “Alright,” Daxton said. “Take care. Don’t overdo it.” But the warmth
in his voice was gone—replaced with an unmistakable chill.
Carrie didn’t notice. Her focus had shifted—she had just seen Kristopher rounding the corner ahead. “Got it,” she
said quickly, then ended the call without hesitation.
On the other end, Daxton glanced at Carrie's office building across the street, his presence cold and intimidating.
He had given her a chance. Right there, on that call, she had two options—to admit the truth, or to head to the
office. She did neither.
At this moment, his assistant arrived. “Sir, according to the surveillance, Mrs. Garcia went to the hospital... and...
and...”
The assistant broke into a cold sweat, unable to continue.
Daxton narrowed his eyes, voicing the suspicion he least wanted to acknowledge. “Kristopher is there too, isn’t
he?”
“Right, sir,” the assistant replied respectfully. “But they didn’t arrive together—it might just be coincidence.”
Daxton let out a cold laugh. Coincidence? He didn’t believe in coincidences.

He could tolerate a lingering attachment. But this—this was something else.

Her betrayal wasn't just personal. It was public.
His gentleness had made her bold. Reckless.

It was tto remind her who held the leash. This kitten had forgotten who she belonged to. And now, it was
tto teach her obedience.
At the hospital, Carrie had just ended the call when Kristopher walked in, the doctor trailing close behind.
She pushed thoughts of Daxton to the back of her mind and quickly rose to her feet, her voice tight with anxiety.
“Doctor, is there something wrong with the medication?”
Deep down, she was hoping the answer would be no. If the medication wasn't the problem, then Kristopher’s
health might still be safe—and whatever suspicions she held about Aliza could still be dismissed as a terrible
misunderstanding.
But the doctor's slow shake of the
head dimmed that fragile hope. With
a weary sigh, he lowered himselfinto
