Debbie pointed at the bedroom door with her finger. Niles quickly took off his leather shoes, and rushed to the bedroom without even changing into slippers.
Niles heaved a deep sigh of relief upon seeing Carlos sitting there, safe and sound.
“Hey, man. You look all right. I thought you were hurt.”
“Cut the crap and take it from here.” Carlos felt at ease and immediately stopped stitching the moment he saw that the man, who was more capable of fixing up people’s wounds, had arrived.

Niles grabbed the suture kit from Carlos’ hand and continued from where he had stopped.
His hands moved even faster than Carlos’. After all, he was the doctor.
This was his hturf.

After a brief pause, Debbie answered, “I don’t know him.”
Yes, she didn’t know the Decker in front of her. From what she could recall, he was just a good-for- nothing creep. But what he did today completely changed her impression of him, leaving her to doubt whether she even knew him in the first place.
Debbie even doubted that she had mistaken him for someone else. She never knew that Decker had such a brave, strong side. ‘Is he really my brother?’
Niles was rendered speechless. He then turned to Carlos and asked, “Did you give him anesthesia?”
Carlos shook his head.
Shocked, Niles stared at Decker, his mouth agape. He gave him a thumbs-up and without wasting any more time, he continued to stitch the wound.
After washing his hands, Carlos asked Debbie, “Is dinner ready?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hmm, on the table.” Debbie absent-mindedly raised her arm and pointed to the direction of the dining table.
Carlos grabbed hold of her raised arm.
“Let’s eat together.”
“No, I-“
Before she could decline, he dragged her all the way to the dining room.
Carlos frowned when he saw that they were going to have only instant noodles and sandwiches for dinner.
Debbie sat down in her chair. Sighing helplessly, she told him, “Don’t complain. You know I haven’t been hfor months. I have no food here, and the supermarket is already closed. Lucky that we at least have instant noodles. See? My brother is pathetic as hell. He’s a patient and he can’t even eat noodles.”
Carlos didn’t say anything. He sat down, took his chopsticks and began eating.
Even though it was just instant noodles, since it was cooked by Debbie, it tasted different from the ones he had eaten before. It tasted good.
