“Thank you, Uncle
Carlos. I'm glad you like it.”
But the next second, what Carlos asked made her smile freeze on her face.
“I'm curious...when and where did you see your aunt Debbie taking birth control
pills?” That was his purpose of visiting Megan's house today.
“I.... 1 already told you about it. In New York, in the Hilton family’s house. Uncle
Carlos, why do you ask?” Megan stammered.
Carlos cast her a sidelong glance and said in a very stem voice,
“Megan, be honest with me. You know I hate liars!”
Megan was frightened by his stern tone. Carlos had never talked to her like this.
Unable to take it, she felt hurt, her eyes reddened.
“I...I'UL tell you the truth. Your... your mom told me...”
“My mom?’ Perplexed, Carlos continued to interrogate her, “What did she tell
you?”
Bowing her head in fluster, Megan uneasily played with her fingers. She looked
baffled.
“Uncle Carlos... please stop asking me. I don't want to betray your mom.”
Seeing the flustered expression on her face, Carlos did stop asking about it. He
changed to another topic, which in fact, brought more unease to Megan's heart.
“Did you call Debbie before her car accident?”
“N-no...” Megan replied, her lips trembling.
“Megan!” Carlos shouted, his tone becoming stern again. Unlike Debbie,
Megan couldn't resist this man’s powerful demeanor, and he broke her resolve.
This time, she couldn't hold back her tears. They flooded her eyes and poured
down her cheeks.
“Uncle Carlos, I'm sorry. I didn’t mean to do it. I didn’t think she'd get in an
accident. That day, I knew you had a fight with Aunt Debbie and that you were
unhappy. I felt really guilty, so I went out to call her in order to soften her anger. At
first, she didn’t answer, then I used another phone to contact her. When the call
finally went through, I apologized to her sincerely. Instead of accepting my
apology, she confronted me about telling you about the pills. I admitted it, and
then she hung up on me. I didn’t think she'd have an accident after the call.
Uncle Carlos, please don't get mad at me. Please?”
Stone-faced, Carlos stared at her and continued to ask, “What else did you talk
about?”

“Aunt Debbie said... that you loved her
the most. So she warned me to stay
away from you. That I've been
pestering you all the time, annoying
you. I promised her. Uncle Carlos, I
feel bad now. I know it's wrong to
hang around with you so much since
you're married. But I just can't get you
out of my head. I'm sorry. It's all my
fault...” The content is on

Megan sobbed, her breath becoming
short. Carlos massaged the upper
part of his nose near the eye-sockets,
feeling his head pounding for the
trouble. To avoid her asthma attack,
he had no choice but to comfort her,
“Don't cry. I didn't mean to blame
you.” The content is on

“Mom, it's me.”
