“Mr. Handsome. . she muttered. The ice around Carlos’ heart melted.


    The tough man softened. The tenderness in his eyes went rogue. Nothing could conceal it anymore


    He lowered his head and nted a kiss on her forehead.


    “Don’t worry,


    I’m getting you out of here.“ He was so gentle, so caring, Debbie thought she was having a beautiful


    dream. Slowly, she closed her eyes again. If she stayed in that dream, she would rather never open her


    eyes again.


    Since the moment Carlos walked into the ward, Hayden hadn’t been able to get much work done. He


    stood aside and watched Carlos’ every move.


    Being a gentleman, before leaving, Carlos said to Hayden, “Thank you,


    Hayden, for taking care of my wife tonight.”


    Hayden nodded in response.

    Carlos reminded him with a furrow, “She’s on her period. Be careful with the medicine. I don’t want her


    harmed.”


    “Yes, Carlos.”


    When everything was settled, it was already past 2 a.m. Carlos sent


    Emmett home to get some rest and he himself sat on the wide bed.


    Sitting on the bed, his back against the headboard, Carlos carefully took Debbie in his arms.

    He took special care with the hand that was hooked up to an IV.


    Stroking her other hand, he noticed how pale her hands were. Her face was pasty white. He had never


    seen her so fragile. His every movement was made with extreme care, like she would break if he


    moved too fast or forcefully.
