She had already answered Carlos’ call earlier and promised toe.


    Ten minutes Later


    They heard footsteps from the empty hallway,ing closer and closer.


    It didn’t sound like there was just one person, but a few peopleing.


    And among the footsteps, there was the click-ck of high heels and the slightly softer sound of leather


    shoes. So there must be a few women and mening.


    ‘Who could they be?’ Everybody in the ward was curious.


    Soon enough, a bodyguard pushed open the door to the ward. Everybody turned their heads to the


    doorway, where a woman in white short rompers appeared. Around her slim waist, she had a shiny belt


    that perfectlyplimented her fine, shapely body. On her feet, she sported a pair of creamy-white


    high heels.


    Earlier at Megan’s apartment, Debbie had spilled some raw eggs to her new dress when she cracked


    the shells. So she went back home for a change of clothes. Then beforeing to the hospital, she


    called a few people to tag along.


    In the supporters she had Yates, Xavier, ir, Adriana, along with three bodyguards.


    Fortunately, the VIP ward was Large enough to hold even arger group.


    Even after Debbie and her supporters arrived, there was still room for more. Yet, despite the ample


    room, the air in the ward took on an odd, oppressive feel as the two groups confronted each other.


    It was Damon who broke the silence. He trotted to Adriana and smiled falteringly.


    “Honey, why did youe with Debbie? Are you…visiting


    Megan too?”


    Adriana smirked and pinched his ear. Ignoring the presence of other people, she scolded, “Damon, are


    you so free? Huh? Your son’s starving already. Go back home now!”


    Adriana grabbed Damon by the ear and dragged him out of the ward. Even when the door was shut


    behind them, everyone could hear him pleading as she Led him along the hallway.


    “Honey, be gentle. I just happened to drop by… Pepper Debbie, that vicious bitch! Why did she bring


    you here? Oh, my ear…”


    Inside the ward, Debbie grinned. ‘Good. That’s one down.’


    Then, she shifted her gaze to ir. Making eye contact with Debbie,


    ir got the hint and bashfully walked towards Wesley, who had been staring at her the whole time.


    She held his hand and asked, “Go shopping with me? You promised. It’s been too long since I had a


    new outfit.” She winked at Wesley as she said this, hoping that he wouldn’t call her out in front of the


    others. That would be embarrassing.


    Wesley detected a slightly flirty, bratty tone. That was a rare thing for her. He wondered when he had


    promised to go shopping with her. But then, he cast a cold nce at Debbie. The woman was smiling


    innocently. Realizing what was going on, he turned to ir and said icily, “Megan isn’t safe yet. We’ll go


    later.”


    “Megan again! He always puts Megan first.’ Pulling a long face, ir red at Megan. The sick girl had


    been silent the whole time-probably out of fear. She didn’t feel safe with Debbie here. The next second,


    ir loosened her grip on Wesley’s arm and pursed her lips.

    “Fine, forget it. I’LL go on my own.”


    And with that, she spun around to leave.
