My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 530:

Taking a deep, steadying breath, she reached for her phone, her fingers hovering over Oliver’s number. But then she froze, her last conversation with Kristopher replaying in her mind. If Oliver got involved, Kristopher would inevitably learn of everything. And when he did, the truth would point squarely at Lise.

This wasn’t just about betrayal anymore. Lise’s actions had threatened their child—a line that could never be crossed. But would Kristopher side with their unborn baby, or would his loyalty remain with Lise? The mere thought made Carrie’s chest tighten. She couldn’t face the possibility that this might destroy what was left of their marriage.

Yet, one thing was certain: she would not let Lise escape the consequences this time. A mother’s love was said to be as fierce as a storm, and Carrie felt that strength surging through her veins now. For her child, she would do whatever it took to eliminate the threat Lise posed.

Turning back to the room, Carrie straightened her posture and spoke with quiet authority. “Leave the supplement here for now. Put it in a sealed box and don’t touch it. Most importantly, don’t tell anyone—not Kristopher, not anyone from the Norris Mansion.” Dr.

Molina hesitated, his brow furrowing. “Mrs. Norris…”

Carrie cut him off, her voice calm but resolute. “Kristopher is tied up with work, and his grandparents are already in poor health. I don’t want to burden them with this.”

A faint smile touched her lips, though it didn’t reach her eyes. “Dr. Molina, do you think I have no influence in this household? If I asked Kristopher to replace our family doctor, do you think he’d refuse?”

Dr. Molina stepped back, shaking his head respectfully. “Of course not, Mrs. Norris. I didn’t mean to suggest otherwise. I understand. I won’t breathe a word of this. But I urge you to stay away from this supplement—it’s dangerous.”

“I understand,” Carrie replied, her tone softening. “Thank you for your vigilance today. Without you, we wouldn’t have discovered this.”

She turned to the maid. “Fetch half of the century-old ginseng and some imported health supplements from the pantry. Give them to Dr. Molina—there’s no way we’ll use them all, and he’ll make good use of them.”

Dr. Molina bowed slightly, a grateful smile crossing his face. “Thank you, Mrs. Norris. That’s very kind of you.”

Carrie nodded, satisfied. By accepting the gift, Dr. Molina gave her his unspoken assurance that he would keep his promise.

She then looked at the maid, her tone lighter but still firm. “That luxury skincare set that arrived yesterday—it’s yours. I don’t care much for that brand. Consider it a thank-you for being attentive and bringing this issue to light.”

The maid’s eyes widened with surprise. “Thank you, Mrs. Norris. I was just doing my duty.”

Carrie waved off the gratitude with a small yawn. Fatigue was catching up with her again. “I’m heading upstairs to rest. Please see Dr. Molina out.”noveldrama

In her bedroom, Carrie tossed restlessly on the bed, sleep eluding her. The more she dwelled on her situation, the more her anxiety grew. Drawing her knees to her chest, she wrapped her arms around her abdomen in a protective embrace.

Regardless of her tumultuous relationship with Kristopher, she was resolute about one thing: protecting her unborn child. The thought of anyone threatening her baby was unbearable. But what should she do next? Almost subconsciously, she reached for her phone and opened a conversation with Camille. She started typing a message, then erased it immediately.
