Chapter 213 Destined to be a Family
Joseph searched everywhere for Deborah, almost driving himself mad in the process.
As Deborah suggested, he drove straight to the restaurant at noon.
He ended up waiting there for more than half an hour, but still didn’t see Deborahing.
Before he had a chance to call her, the police station called him, saying that Chandler had escaped.
At this point, Chandler had reached such a state that Joseph couldn’t even dare to imagine what he
would do once he
ran out.
He almost immediately thought that something might have happened to Deborah.
He called Deborah, but no one answered the phone on the other end.
It wasn’t until now that Vance called him, letting him know that everything was finally over.
Deborah and Ashton were injured, while Chandler and Brandon fell off a cliff.
In the midst of all this, Joseph had no idea what was happening.
Just by thinking about it, one could easily guess that Deborah, having fallen into Chandler’s hands,
must have been seriously hurt.
Joseph received a call from the police and immediately mmed on the brakes, stopping the car in the
middle of the

road.
The extreme anxiety made his thoughts and reactions somewhat slow, and when he spoke, his voice
seemed like it
wasn’t his own.
“Alright, I’ll head to the hospital right away.”
It wasn’t until a car hon ked behind him that he realized his car wasn’t parked properly by the side of
the road.
He immediately stepped on the gas, speeding towards the hospital Vance had mentioned.
Adrian found out that Deborah had gone missing, so he and Joseph split up and searched everywhere
for her.
As Joseph hurried to the hospital, he also gave Adrian a heads up.
Adrian happened to be near the hospital and arrived earlier than Joseph.
As his car came to a stop outside the hospital’s treatment building, he happened to see two
ambnces parked
nearby.
An ambnce swung open its rear doors, and medical staff swiftly wheeled Ashton in on a stretcher,
rushing him into the treatment building and towards the emergency room.
Adrian brought Alyssa and Evelyn along with him. As soon as he parked the car, Alyssa and Evelyn
immediately got
out of the back seat.
Another ambnce opened its rear doors, and the medical staff took out a stretcher. Lying on it was
Deborah.
On the way here, the doctor had already provided treatment to Deborah.
Compared to Ashton’s potentially life-threatening injuries, Deborah’s wounds were much lighter.
She was now mostly awake, and the wound on her head had been properly bandaged and treated.
The scare she just experienced on the cliff has now subsided quite a bit.
Adrian and a few others immediately rushed over. Alyssa, seeing Deborah’s weak and injured state,
became extremely anxious, her eyes turning red.
The child cautiously approached, holding Deborah’s hand, and looked at her with a worried expression
on their face.
Deborah looked at her with a smile and said softly, “Mom is fine.”
A doctor nearby, seeing their appearance, asked, “Are you the family members of the injured person?”
Adrian immediately responded, “Yes.”
The doctor nodded, “Alright, you can all go to the ward together. We’ve already examined the injured
person on the way here.”
The main issue is that they’ve experienced a great shock, but the injuries aren’t too severe. There’s no
need to go to the emergency room; they can head to the ward first for further examination.
Evelyn breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, “Alright, alright, let’s go to the ward first.”
Adrian helped push the bed, looking down at Deborah’s pale face.
Seeing her like this, he couldn’t help but feel distressed as well.
He couldn’t help but wish that he could bear the pain for Deborah.
As a grown man with thick skin, if he could have taken that beating in ce of Deborah, or shielded her
from witnessing those gruesome scenes, he would have.
Then he must be able to endure it, so Deborah won’t have to suffer that torment.
The more Adrian looked at her, the more his heart ached. As he continued to watch, his own eyes
began to redden.
Think about thest time he felt this terrible, it was when Donna fell ill and was hospitalized, and the
doctor issued a
critical condition notice.
Adrian pushed the bed into the elevator, thinking to himself that he had truly fallen deeply in love with
Deborah.
So it turned out that truly loving someone meant feeling a sharp pain in your heart when you see them
hurt and upset, and feeling distressed along with them.
She was like his family, his loved ones, making him care for her subconsciously.
After wheeling Deborah into the ward, the doctor said that they needed to transfer her from the gurney
to the hospital
bed.
They would give her a thorough examinationter to determine if there were any head injuries and
assess her psychological condition.
After the doctor finished speaking, he looked toward the only male family member, Adrian, and asked
him.
“Excuse me, sir, what is your rtionship with the injured person? Could you please help carry her and
move her to the hospital bed?”
Since they were all family here, there was naturally no issue of distinguishing between men and
women.
Without a second thought, Adrian walked over and reached out to embrace Deborah.
Deborah was a bit startled. As he reached out to touch her arm, she instinctively dodged away.
She struggled to get up on her own, but simply couldn’t do it, as her bodycked the strength to exert
much effort.
Without any further exnation, Adrian directly reached out and scooped her up h or izontally, along
with the nket on her, and ced her on the sickbed.
As Adrian picked up Deborah, he couldn’t help but feel his heart race, inexplicably experiencing a
special sense of
closeness.
He was a bit puzzled. Why was it that every time he got close to Deborah, he always felt as if there was
a maic field around her, attracting him?
It made him want to be close, to live together with her.
This uncontroble feeling that arose was just too strange.
The only exnation he could think of was that he and Deborah might truly be a match made in
heaven.
Destined to be together, destined to live under the same roof, and to be a family.
Adrian was a bit lost in thought. After bending down to ce Deborah on the bed, he remained in a
leaning position close to her, not standing up straight.
Deborah’s face turned red with embarrassment, while Evelyn, annoyed, stepped forward and yanked
Adrian’s arm.
“Have you lost your humanity? Look at the state Deborah is in! What on earth are you thinking?”
Only then did Adriane to his senses, immediately straightening his body and putting some
distance between himself and Deborah.
He really liked Deborah; it was as if he was truly enchanted by her.
How about going at it one more time with Joseph? It seemed that whenever he thought about Deborah
marrying another man and not being able to live with him, his heart felt so ufortable.
Adrian secretly pondered on this idea, his fiery gaze constantly falling on Deborah.
Deborah was genuinely starting to fear him, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
This man really couldn’t help but stare at her; his gaze almost never left her whenever he saw her.
She had just closed her eyes for a short while when suddenly, a chaotic flurry of footsteps sounded
from outside.
The sound became clearer and clearer, and as Deborah opened her eyes, she saw Gerald and Jane
appear in the hospital
room.
Adrian was on guard, knowing that their intentions were malicious. He immediately stepped forward to
block their
way.
Evelyn spoke with a stern tone, “Deborah needs to rest now. Please both of you leave the room, and
we can discuss.
any matterster.”
Gerald’s expression was heavy as he looked at Deborah. “The police said that Chandler fell off a cliff
into the sea?”
Deborah didn’t avoid the question and nodded honestly. “Yes.”
Jane suddenly lost control, her face contorted with rage as she lunged at her. “It was you who killed
him! You all yed your parts, working together to drive my son to his death!”
