She felt a pang in her heart.
“Do you know why Wesley and I decided to foster Megan? Because her parents
both died a horrible death to cover us.”
She soon realized that the woman he had tried to protect was Megan.
Debbie wasn’t sure what she was feeling anymore. It was complicated.
Part of her felt that Carlos had done the right thing while the rest of her felt like
crying. She was so conflicted.
Carlos continued, “Megan was only twelve at the time and she watched her
parents die. The horror was too much for even Wesley and me to bear, Let alone
for her, who was only a Little girl. Stimulated by what had happened in front of
her, her asthma had come back. She was taken to hospital soon enough to just
save her life. It was a painful day for everyone. She could have died that day...”
Imagining the horrible scene, which was even difficult for a tough guy like Carlos
to describe, Debbie immediately felt sympathetic towards
Megan.
She now thought that Carlos had done the right thing by saving the girl this time,
though he had gotten himself badly wounded.
Debbie banished all the negative feelings in her heart and said, “I'll go check if
the doctor has come.” Then she turned and walked towards the door.
Carlos didn't stop her. He slowly passed out as Debbie walked down the stairs.
A few minutes later, Debbie came back to the room with the doctor at her heels.
As she saw the man lying there, motionless, his eyes closed, her body went stiff
with uncontrollable fear. She ran over to the bed to check on him, and she saw
that the bed was soaked with the blood from his wounds.
“Car...Carlos,” she called. Tears welled up in her eyes the minute Carlos’ name
escaped her lips.
“Wake up! Please don’t scare me like this.”
She patted his face softly, trying to wake him up.
“I'LL be good. I'UL attend all the classes you've arranged for me. I'll do
everything you've asked me to do. Just wake up. Please!” she begged.
Carlos’ eyes slowly fluttered open. Looking at the wailing girl by his bedside, he
asked in a hoarse voice, “Really?”
Debbie stopped crying and nodded repeatedly. She sighed, relieved to hear his
voice.
“Yes, I promise. Just don’t go passing out on me again, okay?”
