She seemed to be fast asleep. Her eyes were shut, and her face was deathly pale.
Carlos turned around and ordered the bodyguards, "Bring them in."
"Yes, Carlos."
Soon, two people were brought in. To Debbie's surprise, they were James and Glenda.
Their hands and feet were tied with ropes, and they were both gagged.
Horror was evident in Glenda's wide-open eyes, but James looked rather calm.
However, when James saw his daughter lying on the operating table, fear gripped his entire body in an instant. He turned to look at Carlos with pleading eyes, but Carlos didn't so much as spare him a single glance.
Ignoring James' imploring moans and grunts, Carlos studied the scalpels that were spread out on the table.
Debbie fixed her eyes on the operating table and grabbed Carlos' hand tightly.
It brought back the horrific memories from three years ago when James had tied her to an operating table and forced her to divorce Carlos. He had threatened that he would have doctors abort her baby. She was so traumatized that several months later, when she went into labor, she was too afraid to go into the delivery room. However, at the doctors' insistence, she finally went there at the last minute.
In the delivery room, she focused on observing the doctors vigilantly.
She was afraid that the doctors were sent by James and that they would take her baby away. During the childbirth, even though Debbie was in great pain, she refused any medication. She wanted to be fully conscious and aware, to keep an eye on the doctors.
Carlos sensed that something wasn't right with Debbie.
She was trembling all over. Carlos gently pulled her into his arms and patted her back to soothe and comfort her.
"Honey, trust me. No one will ever harm you again," he said softly in her ear.
"Mmm... Carlos, are you going to do something to her baby?"
"She said she didn't want the baby. So I'd like to help her get rid of it. I'm a good man, right?" Carlos said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. Carlos had his principles. No matter how much he hated
Stephanie, he wouldn't deal with an unborn baby. It was Stephanie herself who didn't want it.
Stephanie had made an appointment with a doctor of another hospital to abort the baby. Carlos, however, asked his men to bring her to this hospital.
If Stephanie had regretted her decision and wanted to keep the baby,
Carlos would have let her keep it. But she didn't.
'Help her?' Debbie shook her head helplessly. In his arms, she took a deep breath and calmed down a lot. She raised her head again and gave him a small smile.
"Will you give her anesthesia?" she asked.
"No," Carlos simply said.
His reply sent a chill down everyone's spine
