Chapter 385:

“Ouch,” Kristopher grunted in mock pain, letting go of her and frowning.

Carrie took the chance to step back, creating sdistance. She was worried and suspicious, wondering if

Kristopher was pulling a trick. “Don’t fake it.”

Kristopher chuckled weakly, looking pitiful on purpose. “What? Did you forget I'm still injured?”

Carrie froze. Her face becserious as she quickly unbuttoned his jacket. “Are you alright? Why are you fooling

around when you're injured?”

As she removed his jacket, she noticed blood slowly soaking through his shirt from the wound on his arm. The

wound had reopened. Blood was spreading across half of his arm, and it looked serious.

Carrie completely forgot about their teasing as panic set in. She shouted toward the nurses’ station, “Nurse,

please help with his wound!”

Carrie was still in shock. During lunch, she had convinced herself that Kristopher was exaggerating, so she

hadn’t taken his injury seriously.

Still in a daze, she followed the nurse into the treatment room. But then, a cold, stern voice rang out behind her.

“What have you done?”

Billie stormed in, seething with anger. Carrie barely had tto register her presence before Billie shoved her

aside and barged into the treatment room. The impact sent Carrie's arm crashing against the doorframe,

sparking a jolt of pain. She remained silent, soothing the pain with her free hand.

Bowing her head, Carrie murmured, “I'm sorry. | didn’t mean to cause trouble.”

Her apology wasn’t out of fear of Billie. The reality was Kristopher had sustained an injury while protecting her,

and she had dismissed his pain as an exaggeration, leading her to act recklessly during their interaction. Though

the wound was not fatal, the serious cut had exposed the bone, complicating his recovery.

Overwhelmed by remorse, Carrie found herself unable to focus on Billie’s demeanor. Disregarding Carrie's words,

Billie moved swiftly toward Kristopher, hesitating just before examining his wound closely. The nurse had just

unwrapped the bandage, and the absence of pressure caused the blood to flow more visibly, intensifying the

severity of the sight. Blood soaked his entire arm, highlighting a gruesslash across his upper arm.

Billie was aware of the injury but had not been informed of the gruesdetails. Kristopher, his voice steady,

questioned, “Mom, why involve Carrie in this? Why must you blher for everything?”

Kristopher had not concealed his injury from Billie, though the circumstances behind it remained secret, with all

involved maintaining their silence. His frequent overseas business activities were fraught with danger, often

leading to injuries. Confident that Billie would not probe too deeply, he spoke with an air of assurance.

Billie cast a critical glance at Carrie, then refocused on Kristopher’s arm, voicing her discontent. “You receive

such a serious injury, and yet she’s there, shoving you playfully in the corridor! Utterly careless!”

Catching Carrie's eye as she stood there, head down and biting her lip like a reprimanded child, Kristopher said,

“The playful shoving was my doing.”

Billie was unmoved by Kristopher’s defense. “Playful or not, she needs to exercise caution. As your wife, her duty

is to protect you.”
