“I'm wondering the same thing.” Debbie smiled bitterly.
When she heard Debbie's first words, Megan accidentally poured hot water on
her hand. Carlos asked the waiter to get some ointment for her, but that was it.
He didn’t do anything else.
As Debbie's words turned harsher, Megan stared at the man next to her, a
wronged expression on her face. Since he was within earshot, she believed he
had heard every single word Debbie had said. However, there was no response
from him. His face remained blank. Silently, Megan worked on her emotion.
Soon, a single tear rolled down her cheek.
Carlos didn't notice it, though. The boy did. He was talking about something, but
stopped immediately and asked, “Megan, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Is
it something I said? I'm so sorry.”
In a fluster, Megan grabbed a tissue from the table and wiped her eyes carefully.
“No, it's not. It's nothing. I'm fine,” she said.
It was only then that Carlos realized that Megan was crying. He frowned and
handed her a napkin.
“Don't bother her again!” he said to the boy sternly.
The boy was the same age as Megan and he was visibly terrified of
Carlos from the very beginning. Carlos’ order made his forehead sweat.
He nodded and then nodded some more.
“I... Megan, I'm s-sorry for bothering you. Bye.”
As soon as he managed to stutter those words, the poor boy fled.
Left alone with Carlos, Megan asked in a Low voice, “Uncle Carlos, does
Aunt Debbie have a problem with me? She seems to dislike me. Last time, she
got mad at Jake when I brought him to the villa. Now she is calling me a... Uncle
Carlos, I..."
Megan sounded sadder and more desperate as she spoke. She started to pant
for breath.
Debbie could hear her crying. When she turned to look at her, she saw
Carlos comforting the girl, holding her in his arms. She heard him say,
“Don't cry. You're in poor health. Crying will only make it worse.”

was meant only for her. But now, she
knew that she was just being naive.
