NovelUpdateChapter 529:
Without responding to Camille, she tossed the phone onto the couch. Kristopher didn’t seem to care about her
pregnancy—but could Lise be pregnant too? Had he hurried off to Steu Skua under the pretense of work to be at
Lise’s side for the birth?
Her thoughts spiraled further. Stories of influencers secretly flying to Steu Skua to give birth flickered in her
mind. Could that be Lise’s plan, too?
The more she thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. What if sending Lise abroad had been part of
Kristopher’s plan all along? Her stomach churned at the thought. She couldn’t stomach the idea of Lise having a
place in Kristopher’s life—let alone in her marriage. Could he truly have plotted to juggle two families, one
overseas and one at home?
Just as she teetered on the edge of these stormy thoughts, the shrill ring of the doorbell snapped her back to
reality. The maid, drying her hands on a kitchen towel, answered the door. Moments later, Dr. Molina, the family
doctor, walked in, his medical kit in hand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Dr. Molina, good evening,” Carrie greeted, shaking off her muddled thoughts. “Are you here for the maid?”
“No, no, Mrs. Norris,” the maid interjected quickly, holding up a small bag. “It’s this supplement. You haven't
been drinking it lately, and | wanted Dr. Molina to check if it's expired. There's no date on the label.”
Dr. Molina nodded and unpacked a small device from his kit, one that could analyze the supplement’s
composition. The moment the results appeared, his face drained of color. He rushed to Carrie, his voice urgent.
“Mrs. Norris, have you been taking this?”
Carrie's gaze flickered to the health supplement in Dr. Molina’s hand. It was the sone Billie had asked Mrs.
Quinn to deliver. “I've only taken it once,” she said softly, her voice tinged with confusion. “Why? What's wrong?”
Dr. Molina’s expression darkened further. “This supplement is harmful, Mrs. Norris. Prolonged use could lead to
infertility. | strongly recommend you undergo a full medical check-up.” The words struck Carrie like a
thunderclap. For a moment, she sat stunned, but her composure quickly returned.
Billie had always been fixated on her having a child—why on earth would she give her something so dangerous?
Billie had handed the first batch of the supplement to her directly, which Willow had tried to smuggle out. Carrie
had disposed of it back then, fearing that something might go awry.
So, the problem must lie with this new batch brought later by the maid.
Turning to the maid, Carrie asked pointedly, “Did Billie give this to you herself?”
The maid shook her head, answering truthfully, “No, Mrs. Norris. | found it in the room assigned toafter |
arrived here. But | remember seeing the spackaging when you brought the supplement from the Norris
Mansion.”
The puzzle pieces clicked into place in Carrie’s mind. Her thoughts raced, retracing the sequence of events. It
becclear: Willow hadn't been trying to steal the supplement that day. Someone had orchestrated a plan to
switch them with poison.
But when Willow left, Oliver had kept a close watch on her. She hadn't been able to take the tainted supplement
with her.
A cold realization settled over Carrie. Lise’s schemes were far darker than she had imagined. This wasn’t just
about keeping tabs on her or causing petty trouble. Lise had gone as far as to jeopardize both Carrie's life and
the life of her unborn child.
Instinctively, Carrie placed a protective hand over her stomach. A cold sweat broke out on her back as the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgravity of the situation sank in. She had cterrifyingly close to losing everything.
