Ryan was dumbfounded. He clenched his jaw. Caught off guard, he was unable to react right away due

    to the sudden shock.


    Be saw that he did not react and thought that he was a coward.


    She burst outughing and said, “Back then, you had the guts to say


    to my face that you wanted to marry me. Now that I’m asking you if you dare to marry Carrie, why have


    you suddenly be mute? Or is it that, in your eyes, Carrie is the Salvadors’ least significant


    daughter, so there’s no value for you in marrying Carrie? All she’s worth is to be


    hidden away as your secret lover, huh?”


    “Be Thompson! You-!” Ryan’s blood was boiling. This was the first


    time he had ever gotten mad at Be.


    He could finally understand why Justin vomited blood.


    Justin must have been provoked by her!


    “Alright, there’s no point in me saying too much. I respect a


    true love in this world, but I don’t want Carrie to suffer with yo


    Thinking of Carrie, who had suffered so much in the Salvador f Be teared up a little. “She’s already


    had a very hard life. I don’t w


    her to suffer even more. Ryan, the world you live in is too


    Carrie. Just think about what I said carefully.”


    After sending Justin to the hospital, Ryan dragged his exhausted tbody back home.


    Chapter 62H


    Right, home.


    Now, he referred to the vi he shared with Carrie alone as home.


    He might have a mother and a sister, but ever since his father passed


    away, his mother had be depressed, often going abroad to get


    treatment, while his sister studied overseas. The vast Hoffman.


    residence was always cold and quiet, never lively.


    Yet, the past few days he had spent with Carrie had made him feel


    He even greedily hoped that days like these wouldst forever.


    “How’s Carrie doing?” Ryan asked Yasmin urgently the moment he


    walked in.


    Yasmin frowned worriedly and sighed. “Ms. Salvador is in her room. I


    kept trying to coax her to sleep, but it seemed like she was still in shock. She just wouldn’t close her


    eyes. It’s quite heartbreaking


    see.”


    Upon hearing this, Ryan felt his throat choke up with guilt, and he


    walked upstairs with heavy steps.


    “I’ll go sit with her.”


    “Ms. Hoffman, what are you nning to do with Ms. Zoe?” Yasmin


    hesitated for a moment but still asked.


    “Yasmin, don’t you think I’m really useless sometimes?” Ryan asked


    glumly with his back toward her.


    Yasmin was taken aback.


    She had been working for Ryan for 10 years now, and he had always been a proud and unyielding


    man. He had never looked so lonely and


    unsure of himself before.


    “Mr. Hoffman, you’ve always been a godlike existence to me. Why do you say that?”


    “Because I didn’t raise my sister properly and even allowed Carrie to


    get hurt. To be honest, I don’t know what I should do either.”


    When Ryan remembered how Zoe’s face twisted viciously as she


    abused Carrie, he felt defeated. “At most, all I can do is send her back. to Inalia. But is that going to


    solve the problem?”


    “Mr. Hoffman, let’s go about it slowly. As long as you don’t give up on Ms. Salvador, no matter how


    much Ms. Zoe dislikes it, she’ll ept this reality.”


    Ryan arrived at the door to Carrie’s room, calmed himself, opened the door.


    “Carrie? I’m back.”
