Chapter 1085:

Carrie made her way back to the doctor’s office alone, holding the paper bag with Kristopher’s clothes. The room was empty—no doctor in sight—so she sat down on a bench by the wall. After a quiet moment, she slipped her hand into the bag and pulled out Kristopher’s necklace.

It lay in her palm, cool and weighty. She remembered how flustered he had been when she tried to take it earlier—like it meant more than just a piece of jewelry. He had known Aliza was hurting him, yet he still held onto the gift she gave him so tightly.

He seemed to cherish Aliza so much, just like he had Lise before her. It seemed he could fall in love with anyone except her.

Carrie closed her fingers around the necklace, forcing herself not to overthink it. She didn’t have the right to be jealous—not anymore. Still, seeing him so attached to something from another woman stung. She wasn’t as unaffected as she liked to pretend.

With a quiet sigh, she dropped the necklace back into the bag and turned her gaze away. While she sat lost in her thoughts, the door creaked open behind her. Kristopher walked in, fresh from the scan, wearing a hospital gown with the collar slightly open.
