From the way he phrased his words, Blair didn’t know how to carry on with the conversation. This dull man was really a conversation killer.
She wondered why on earth she had previously had a crush on him. Was she fond of his sharp tongue or his ruthlessness?
In Carlos’ ward
Since Damon and Wesley had left, Curtis didn’t think he should stay anymore. So he stood up from the sofa, walked up to Debbie and tried to bring up something new, so that she would stop worrying. He said softly, “I hope you still remember that Colleen and I have our wedding coming up next month. I’ll send an official invitation later.”

“Well, look after Carlos. I should get going now.”
Debbie nodded again, but remaining tight-lipped.
After Curtis left, the couple was alone in the still ward.
Carlos could tell the melancholy on Debbie’s face.
“Can I get swater?” he requested, trying to break the ice, but he sounded terribly flat.
“Hmm.” Absent-mindedly, she got a glass of water and passed it to him.
But he didn’t take it, leaving her confused.
“Didn’t you want water?” she asked.
“How am I going to hold the glass with my injuries? Aren’t you here to attend to me?”
“Carlos! You expectto feed you? Blit entirely on Megan,”
Debbie protested.

“No. She provokedfirst, and I couldn’t swallow my anger. I couldn’t put up with her affronts anymore. But it was out of her own carelessness that she lost balance and hit the bench. It serves her right, anyway!”
Carlos was rendered speechless by her Last sentence.
“She’s gotten to be grateful that she only suffered a slight wound in her forehead, while my husband got two gunshots for her sake. She’s really Lucky. If her parents weren’t your life savers, I would’ve already returned her four gunshots!” Metaphorically, the first shot had been fired, and going forward, Debbie swore, Armageddon had come. What other incentive did she have left to entertain Megan?
Basking in the glory of the moment, she couldn’t help but smile, flashing back on how after she had hurt Megan, the four men just watched helplessly. Were they not the speople Megan thought would protect her from Debbie if push cto shove?
Before, she had heard a rumor that a man had once accidentally knocked
Megan down onto the floor, breaking her knees. At that time, all four of them worked together to put that man into jail on charges of attempted murder. While the accused man was rotting in jail, Megan
must have thought Debbie would know better not to mess with her. Girl, she was wrong! Had any of the four men even dared as much to touch Debbie?
For a moment, when Debbie saw Megan being wheeled into the emergency room, she had been mentally prepared for a big fight with Carlos as well as his friends. But unexpectedly, they all let her off the hook so easily. ‘Didn’t they care about Megan’s tantrums anymore? What will they tell her when she wakes up?’ Debbie wondered.
