Assuming the couple were fighting, Colleen rolled her eyes at Carlos.
“Debbie, don’t cry. Gregory’s not busy. So if your husband can’t take care of you, I’ll call my brother and
ask him toe and look after you,” she said, trying tofort Debbie.
Recently, Colleen learned her brother had a crush on Debbie—Carlos’ wife. She knew that Gregory
stood no chance and that it would go nowhere. She felt sorry for her brother.
Now that there was an opportunity for Gregory to show how much he cared, Colleen grabbed it for him.
And with both her and Curtis around, she believed Carlos wouldn’t be tough on her brother.
Colleen took out her phone and was about to dial the number, when
Carlos observed.
“Colleen, you’re a bride-to-be. Don’t you have a wedding to n?”
His tone was full of warning.
Colleen stared at him and put her phone away. After twitching her lips unhappily, shemented,
“Debbie just had a serious ident. Why do you have to be so mean? Couldn’t this wait until she’s
well? You’re so rude. Honestly, I don‘t know how Debbie puts up with you.”
Then Curtis took the tray out of Emmett’s hands and put it beside the bed. He sat down on the edge of
the bed and picked up a bowl of congee.
Gently, he spooned some food out of it and ced it to her mouth.
“Here, eat something. We’ll get you to another hospital.”
“Okay. Thank you, Mr. Loftus,” Debbie said sweetly.
Carlos watched and listened.
Just as Debbie was about to take a bite, the proud man who had just been criticized by everyone else
in the ward snatched the bowl and spoon away from Curtis and snapped, “She’s my wife, Curtis. Now,
go away!”

Curtis was simply pushed off the bed. Looking at the overbearing man he shook his head. ‘This man’s
ego sometimes makes him lose his head.
But at least, now the reverse psychology is working. If he won’t take care of her, we’ll make a show of
it. Then, he’ll be forced by his jealousy to act, even if he wants to punish her instead of cherishing her.”
“Open your mouth!” Carlos ordered bluntly
Debbie snorted, “Since you’re so gant, I guess I’ll have to open my mouth.” A spoon of warm congee
was put into her mouth.
“Shut your mouth!”
“One minute, you ask me to open my mouth, and the next, you ask me to shut my mouth. You’re so
high-maintenance. Carlos, if I shut my mouth, how will you feed me?” asked Debbie, blinking.
The man of few words was again rendered speechless, while Colleen and
Emmett burst intoughter. This was too good. She was giving as good as she got.
Another group of visitors came sauntering into the ward while Debbie ate. They were Jared, Damon,
and Damon’s wife Adriana Morris.
