Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 702

At that moment, the nearby staff rushed over to help Anne up.

Although the incident had happened too suddenly for her to react, Anne was uninjured. However, her face was pale, and she was trembling with fear.

Yet, right now, her gaze was fixed squarely on Chris.

Seeing Chris' hands still wrapped protectively around Giselle, a look of obvious rage flashed through Anne's eyes. She just stared at him, unblinking.

Chris, however, did not make eye contact with Anne. Instead, he looked down and asked Giselle with concern, "Are you hurt? Is your stomach okay?"

"No," Giselle replied. Once the shock wore off, she realized Chris was holding her quite intimately.

She quickly pushed his hands away.

"Sorry." Chris realized he had crossed a line and took a few steps back.

"Thank you for that," Giselle said. She looked at the smashed crate on the ground, her heart still pounding against her ribs.

She realized that without Chris' quick reflexes, she would have met a terrible fate. Even if the impact hadn't been fatal, the injuries alone would have cost her the baby.

The thought sent a chill down her spine, making it hard to breathe.

In that moment, she felt a profound sense of gratitude toward Chris again. Aside from a simple "thank you", she did not know what else to say.

Giselle immediately turned to question the warehouse manager who had just rushed over. "How do you manage this place? How could such a major safety accident happen?"

She reasoned that if such a major safety incident could occur during a mere coincidental inspection, it raised the alarming question of how many other accidents had taken place when she was not around to supervise.

"I am sorry, Ms. Holt," the warehouse manager, Andy Wesley, stammered, unable to lift his head in embarrassment. "This is my fault. It was negligence in my daily work! I will definitely strengthen on-site improvements later and ensure this kind of accident never happens again! I am truly sorry!"

"There will not be a 'later'," Giselle said mercilessly. "Making mistakes with basic loading and unloading is a major failure in your duties. Expect a formal disciplinary notice."

"Huh? Ms. Holt, I—" Andy was shocked.
