Brian was startled by my and Caleb’s simultaneous, adamant refusal.


    “Er, okay, if that’s what you want.


    ” He rubbed his temples and nced at us helplessly.


    “You two agree at the strangest times.


    But you misunderstood me.


    I was just trying to share my professional opinion as a doctor.


    ”


    I sighed in relief.


    Anyway, I didn’t want to be involved in whatever could happen after marking Caleb.


    We weren’t on the same team, and no matter how upsetting that was to me, I had to constantly remind myself of it.


    Maybe one day, I would be forced to make a choice between Caleb and saving Roz Town.


    Once we both marked each other, it would only hurt more.


    “Brian, can you suggest something useful?” Caleb asked coldly.


    “I’m the

    “Debra? Oh, my God!” As soon as the call connected, Han looked at me worriedly.


    “I haven’t heard a thing from you in days.


    What’s going on?”


    “I’m fine.


    Don’t worry.


    Don’t tell Elena about me, okay? She’ll just worry.


    ”


    Han nodded in agreement.


    However, the next second, Elena suddenly squeezed over next to Han and looked into the camera with an aggrieved face.


    “Mommy, why didn’t you take me with you? I miss you so much!”N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Han might’ve been afraid that I’d give myself away, so he kept winking at me meaningfully.


    I guessed that Han might’ve told Elena that I was on a trip.
