He couldn't tell her the whole story. There was a good chance that the truth
would make this woman go crazy again. He was afraid that she would go to
Megan's ward and throw her out of the hospital window.
Hearing no response from him, Debbie massaged his shin more forcefully, as if
venting her anger.
“Why the silence? Are you hiding something from me? Is it a secret between you
and Megan?”
To appease her, Carlos had to spill the beans.
“No. It's just that there were too many enemies this time and they attacked all of
a sudden. Megan couldn't protect herself...” “You got two gunshot wounds to
protect Megan, * she thought angrily.
Her hands stopped moving. Carlos went on, “Wesley was not around at that time.
I couldn't just sit back and watch her get shot. Besides, her asthma attacks are
more frequent these days. If she got shot on top of that, she would Likely..."
Unconvinced by his explanation, Debbie clenched her fists.
“Did you consider my feelings? If the bullet had hit your heart or head, instead of
your shoulder, you...” Her voice trailed off, and her eyes brimmed with tears. With
a quiet sob, she added, “If something worse had happened, what would I have
had to face when I came back here? Did you ever stop to think about that? Do
you love me at all? You will worry me to death!”
Tears streamed down her red cheeks.
Carlos immediately sat up and grabbed her wrist, pulling her into his arms.
“Please, don't cry.”
“I can't help it! Are you forgetting that you are not single anymore?
You have a wife, and you have your parents. But you almost died for that
Megan... How could your family live without you? Even if you are not concerned
about me, think about how sad your parents and your grandparents would be.”
Debbie cried even more hysterically. She was so scared when she imagined a
life after losing Carlos. It struck her that this man meant the world to her, but he
would thoughtlessly throw his life away for some other woman.
Her cries gripped his heart. Wiping off her tears with his fingers, he comforted in
a hushed voice, “Honey, this will all be over soon. Those gangsters have been
put on the police’s most wanted list. They are now wanted all over the country.
Wesley has found their base camp. When the right time comes, he will take his
men to root them out. There will be no threat to Megan's life after that.”
This was supposed to be confidential information which Wesley had given him in
secret. Carlos hadn't intended on telling her, but to soothe
Debbie, he had no choice but to tell her part of the truth.
If they could eliminate all physical threats around Megan, Wesley and
Carlos would be more relieved, and they wouldn't need to be around
Megan to protect her anymore.
Through her blurry eyes, Debbie asked, “The right time? When is that?”
“If things go well, it should be next month.” “Or sooner, “ he thought.
