?Chapter 1091:

    He had no ns to leave the country. With Lise getting ready to make her move, Daxton hade up with an excuse to stay out of the picture.

    That way, he could avoid the Morrison family’s bacsh for “abandoning his duties,” and no one would be able to link anything back to him.

    Especially not Kristopher.

    Lately, Kristopher had been crossing paths with Carrie more often. Daxton had a feeling Kristopher’s memory might already be back. And if that was true, then Kristopher was even more dangerous than he’d originally thought.

    Even if he were to go up against Reece, Daxton wouldn’t feel the need to be this careful. But with Kristopher… he wasn’t taking any chances.

    A few dayster.

    Carrie had slowly found her rhythm again. She wasn’t the same as before, but she felt more grounded. Still, Kristopher had been reaching out every so often.

    Ever since she told him that Aliza had been tampering with his medication, Kristopher would asionally update her on doctor visits or ask her about random things.

    Their conversations started to feel… familiar. Like two old friends checking in on each other.

    But during those sleepless nights—when her mind wouldn’t settle—Carrie often wondered if there was any point in staying in touch with him at all.

    She was lost in thought again when her phone buzzed. A message from Kristopher lit up the screen: “Had a check-up today. Everything looks normal. Got some new…

    “Supplements, and the headaches are almost gone. I just wonder when my memory wille back.”

    It wasn’t just small talk. He was fishing—trying to see how she’d react. He already knew everything. What he really wanted to know was whether she still cared.

    Carrie’s reply was simple. “Take it slow.”

    Fresh updates loaded gα?ησν????s?c?m

    Then, almost without thinking, she remembered a recent talk she’d had with Jenesis.

    It waste one night when she casually brought it up. “Is it wrong that I still feel sympathy for Kristopher sometimes?” she asked.

    Jenesis hadn’t been surprised by her question. “Why would it be wrong?”

    Carrie was caught off guard. She hesitated, then opened up a little more. “My first baby… Grandma… they both died because of Lise.”

    Jenesis cut in gently. “Exactly. Because of Lise. You said it yourself. Sure, Kristopher might’ve been involved indirectly, but really, he was a victim too. And after he learned the truth, he made sure Lise paid for everything.”

    Jenesis squeezed Carrie’s hand. “The real grudge between you two? It’s all tied to Lise. And you’ve already avenged that. Now you have us—your real family. And Kristopher… he’s paid for his mistakes. If you two don’t have a reason to talk, then don’t. Stay strangers, if that’s what feels right. But if your paths cross, be civil. Make small talk. Lend a hand if needed. Not because you owe him—but because that’s what decent people do. Carrying all that resentment won’t hurt him. It’ll just weigh you down.”

    Jenesis paused, then added, “And don’t forget… if it weren’t for Kristopher, that day at the racetrack with you and Arion could’ve ended very differently. Our whole family owes him. If he hadn’t lost his memory, we probably would’ve thanked him already. But now… with him having amnesia and someone new in his life, dropping in just to say ‘thanks’ might only result in aplicated situation.”
