Chapter 384:
Carrie blinked in surprise at his words. It was true—knowing she could rely on Kristopher had made her more
vulnerable, taking away sof the reckless courage she once had to charge ahead.
When he saw her expression change, Kristopher couldn’t bring himself to tease her anymore. He spoke softly.
“Don’t worry. I'll be here for you, no matter what. Do what feels right to you.”
“You don’t ever have to fear making mistakes. Even if you take a wrong turn, I'll help make it right.”
“Okay,” Carrie murmured, holding him for a bit longer before her phone buzzed. She picked it up, waving the
phone in front of him. “It’s Billie.”

As soon as she answered, Billie's voice cthrough, impatient and sharp. “Why aren't you up here yet?
Whatever you have to say, do it at home.”
“I know, Billie,” Carrie responded.
“Third floor. Hurry up,” Billie reminded her before the line went dead.
Carrie let go of Kristopher’s hand, pulling away from his embrace as she gently tugged him along. “Let's go. We
can’t keep Billie waiting.”
When they reached the third floor and stepped out of the elevator, they overheard two nurses gossiping near the
station.
“They say Dr. Carpenter's health supplement works even better than Viagra. I'm thinking of getting a couple of
boxes for my husband.”

“Definitely. You remember that woman from last month, right? She complained her husband could barely last two
minutes. Well, she cback for a follow-up, and now he can last fifteen.”
“Men have such fragile egos about these things. I'm worried that if | bring it home, my husband will think I'm not
happy with him.”
“Just put it in a vitamin bottle and tell him it’s just a regular supplement.”
“You're so smart!”

Carrie listened for a moment, then caught Kristopher looking at her with a raised brow. “I never knew you were
such a fan of gossip.”
Carrie turned red and looked away. “I'm not gossiping. I'm just keeping an eye out for you. What if you ever need
something?”
Kristopher’s expression shifted to something mischievous.
He leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a teasing tone. “Don’t you already know if | can or can't?”
As he spoke, his hand slid beneath her shirt. His touch sent a shiver down her spine, and she quickly pushed him
away, wide-eyed. “What are you doing?” She quickly scanned the area—there were people and cameras all
around, and she didn’t want to make a scene.
Seeing her flustered face only made Kristopher want to tease her more. He pulled her closer, wrapping his arms
around her tightly. His voice dropped to a low, desirous tone as he murmured, “What do you think I'm doing?”
“Are you out of your mind?” Carrie gasped, trying to push him away.
