My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 747:

“Is this really the moment for your jokes?” Carrie snapped, frustration mounting as she tugged harder on his arm.

With all her strength, she managed to pull most of Kristopher’s body out, but something stopped them from moving further. Her heart sank when she realized his leg was caught, unable to move. Blood dripped steadily from Kristopher’s forehead, pooling onto her hands—hot, sticky, and far too much.

Turning quickly, Carrie shouted toward the outside, “Oliver, help! Lift the car! His leg’s trapped.”

Frantically, she looked back at Kristopher, her face etched with worry.

“Was it the glass? Or did you hit your head?”

“Got it, Mrs. Norris,” Oliver responded quickly, his hands gripping the car as he pushed with all his strength.

With a groan, he managed to lift it slightly, but it was nowhere near enough to free Kristopher.

Kristopher turned his gaze toward Carrie and suddenly asked, “Was it like this for you the day the fire broke out? You were badly hurt, your leg crushed. You must’ve felt trapped, just like I do now. It’s funny how life works—back then, I didn’t help you, and now I get to experience the same helplessness.”

“Enough, Kristopher! If you want to talk nonsense, save it for later—when you’re out of here.” Tears began to sting Carrie’s eyes, despite her best efforts.

Pulling herself together, she wiped her eyes quickly.

This wasn’t the time for emotions. Kristopher needed to get out, and she needed to stay focused.

Kristopher, unfazed, let out a sigh.

“Just go, Carrie. If I can’t get out, that’s it. I’ve repaid my debt to you. With the Morrison family’s protection, you don’t need me anymore.”

“Don’t you dare give up! Don’t be so weak! It hasn’t even exploded yet, and you’re already giving in!” Carrie yelled, her anger bubbling over. Despite her rage, the tears she had held back fell freely, streaking down her face.

At that moment, the thought of losing Kristopher—of him disappearing—gripped her heart with fear. For months, she had wished to avoid him, hoping he would just fade away from her life. However, now that the possibility of his disappearance was real, a wave of fear gripped her heart.

Frustration etched on his face, Arion stood still for a moment before shaking his head. With a quick motion, he rushed to Oliver, rolling up his sleeves to join the effort of lifting the car.

Thanks to Arion and Oliver working together, Kristopher felt the pressure on his leg ease suddenly. Without a second thought, he used Carrie’s arm to steady himself and swiftly crawled out from the passenger seat.

Oliver had just begun to relax, confident that they were safe, when he saw the fire rapidly spread to the back of the car.noveldrama

He shouted, “Run!”

Seizing Arion’s arm, Oliver yanked him away from the danger.

Hearing the warning, Kristopher didn’t hesitate. He immediately pulled Carrie close and threw himself on top of her, shielding her from the flames.
