Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife

As soon as Debbie finished eating, Carlos peeled a banana and handed it to her.

Damon saw this. He looked at Carlos earnestly and said, "Bro, I'd like a banana too."

For the first time since Jared, Damon and Adriana had walked into the ward, Carlos spoke. "Beat it!"

Seeing his brother getting bullied, Jared snorted, "Don't be so bossy. Your wife's here."

The others laughed.

The atmosphere inside the ward was pleasant. Everyone was happy, except Carlos.

"Tell us what happened," Curtis said to Debbie.

The smile on Debbie's face froze when the accident was suddenly brought up. She looked at Carlos. He was confused by her look. "If you have something to say, just say it."

"It's true. I mistook the gas pedal for the brake."

They were rendered speechless by her careless mistake.

Debbie, however, was wondering if her friends would believe her if she told them that Megan was involved in the accident. And Carlos... Would he trust her words?

Luckily, Wesley wasn't in the ward. Among the four, Carlos and Wesley valued Megan the most. If Wesley were there, he would be pissed at her if she told them that the accident was caused by Megan.

'Should I tell them that Megan not only provoked me, but also purposely told Carlos that I had taken birth control pills?'

Debbie pondered silently.

She blamed herself for being too weak. She shouldn't have let Megan get to her so easily. She had learnt her lesson. Even if she decided not to tell the others the truth, she would get back at Megan sooner or later. She promised herself.

Noticing that she was in a bad mood, Colleen patted her hand and said, "It's okay. If you don't feel like talking, just forget about it now. You are fine, that's all that matters."

Adriana chipped in, "Get some rest. When you are ready to talk, Mr. Huo will be here beside you. If there's some problem, I'm sure he'll fix it for you."
