Chapter 552:

The day of Carrie’s discharge from the hospital had arrived. Kristopher meticulously groomed himself, his usual composure replaced by a nervous energy. He kept adjusting his white tracksuit, glancing at Oliver for reassurance.

“Does this look alright? Do I look… tired?” Kristopher asked, his tone uncertain.

Oliver offered a patient, reassuring smile. “You look perfect, Mr. Norris. Mrs. Norris picked out that tracksuit for you—she’ll definitely like it.”

Kristopher nodded, carrying a bouquet of pink orchids and roses, their soft fragrance filling the air. He had chosen the arrangement carefully, hoping it would bring a smile to her face.

Just as he entered her hospital room, Daxton followed close behind. He was holding a bouquet of his own—purple orchids and roses, almost identical to Kristopher’s.

Carrie, who had been stoic and emotionless throughout her recovery, offered a faint smile the moment Daxton walked in. Sitting in a wheelchair, her frail figure looked even more delicate. The sight sent a pang through Kristopher’s chest.
