"Those people just wanted to scare you. It's all over now... In the future, such things will never happen again." Carrie suddenly asked softly. "Will there still be a future forand Ryan?" Yasmin's heart tightened, and she quickly replied, "Young Madam, don't overthink it. This isn't a big problem. Mr. Hoffman, Mr. Salvador, and Ms. Thompson will definitely handle it well. Everything will return to normal!" "Yasmin... I'm not foolish. I know why all this is happening. It's because the Hoffman family does not wantto be with Ryan." Carrie's trembling eyelashes were stained with tears, making her look particularly pitiful.
"This time... Those people hurt your left leg and kidnapped you as a small warning. Next time, they will take your life. With my condition, the Hoffman family will never accept me. Forcing Ryan to keepby his side will only harm him." "Young Madam! Don't think that way!" Yasmin shook her head repeatedly, her eyes red with panic. "You are the only motivation for Mr. Hoffman to live! If he loses you, what meaning is there left in his life? What purpose is there in fighting for power and influence?" "My existence will only keep bringing him trouble. He has to expend so much energy to take care of me, and he is already exhausted." At this moment, Carrie shed her usual childlike naivety. Her thoughts were clear and logical, as if this ordeal had forced her to grow up faster. "I am not like my sister-in-law, who can help my second brother. I can't help Ryan and I only hold him back. I will only put you in more danger, too. You are not just a subordinate or a noto bodyguard. You are my sister, someone very important to me. From the beginning, I said that I didn't deserve his love. Ryan deserves someone better." "Young Madam, please, I beg you, don't give up on Mr. Hoffman, please..." Yasmin's words were jumbled and inarticulate as anxiety flooded her mind.
"I know everything Ryan has done for me. If this continues, he will lose control sooner or later.” Carrie slowly closed her aching eyes.
Memories drifted back to her grandfather's birthday banquet in the moonlit garden, where she first spent talone with Ryan. Back then, Ryan's eyes shone brightly, outshining the stars.

She immersed herself in the warm memories, smiling gently, tears of bitterness welling at the corners of her eyes.
"I want Ryan to return to his old self. I just want him to move forward boldly, without any worries."
