NovelEnglishChapter 979: Daxton knew that struggle all too well. He had loved Carrie for years, through hope and heartbreak. He had tried to rationalize letting her go, to bury his feelings, but true love was rarely governed by reason. It becinstinct, woven into one's very being.
To Daxton, Kristopher's actions were those of a man caught between the remnants of a love he could no longer remember and a jealousy he couldn't fully control. It was a love tainted by misunderstanding, misdirected, and buried under wounds yet to heal.
Others might not understand Kristopher's actions, but Daxton did.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKristopher's cruel behavior toward Carrie was a twisted attempt to express feelings he couldn't understand-a desperate, misguided way of seeking her attention.
Kristopher stood frozen, staring at Carrie and Daxton. His eyes lingered on Carrie, the weight of his earlier accusations hanging heavy between them. Finally, he found his voice, his tone uncharacteristically gentle. "Carrie... were you here for a prenatal checkup? You weren't following Aliza, were you? Why... why didn't you explain yourself?" For a moment, a flicker of guilt crossed his face-a vulnerability rarely seen.
Carrie's expression remained calm, unreadable. Her voice was soft yet steady. "If I had explained, would you have believed me?" Kristopher opened his mouth, but no words came. The truth was painfully obvious-he wouldn't have believed her. He had already made up his mind before even hearing her side.
Daxton placed a comforting arm around Carrie's shoulders. "Jennie has picked up the medicine. Let's head home. I'll get you another orange juice on the way." "Okay." Carrie nodded, her gaze never returning to Kristopher. Together, she and Daxton walked away, their figures growing smaller until they disappeared from view.
Kristopher remained rooted to the spot, a strange sense of hollowness settling over him.
Daxton had hoped that the misunderstandings between Kristopher and Carrie would keep them apart, but he also knew that unresolved tension could lead to more unwanted encounters.
After considering the situation, he decided to put an end to the accusations against Carrie.
Through his connections, Daxton obtained the full surveillance footage from the hospital corridors. While the cameras hadn't captured the argument between Carrie and Aliza, they clearly showed Aliza searching each floor, her eyes scanning intently.

Daxton visited Kristopher alone. There was no need for pretense-this time, he intended to be direct. As soon as the door closed behind him, Daxton spoke firmly.
"It would've been simple to clear this up by checking the surveillancem footage, yet you went straight to confront Carrie instead. What exactly are you trying to achieve?"
You're divorced, Kristopher. You have a fiancée now. While we no longer see each other as relatives. е thought you allatives always were a responsible man.
But right now, you're acting no better than those reckless, spoiled men who toy with people's lives."
