“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, Carlos will be here beside you. If there’s some problem, I’m sure he’ll fix it for you.”

Debbie was still silent.

Jared couldn’t hold his tongue anymore.

“Tomboy, you have never been so hesitant before. What’s wrong with you?

“ It was true. She used to speak her mind anytime, anywhere. That used to be her trademark.

But now, she couldn’t. And it was because of Carlos. She was wondering if he would believe her. If he didn’t, then whatever she said would be pointless. And he might even think that she was trying to frame Megan.

When that thought hit Debbie, she forced a smile and said, “This is just the result of me being a bad driver. It’s nothing else. Relax, everybody.”

They could tell that she was definitely hiding something, but no one forced her to share.

The others left the hospital together after spending some time with her.

Left alone with Carlos, Debbie fell silent once again and slept immediately after.

When she woke up, it was already dark.

The ward was quiet. Debbie was alone. Bored, she stared at the half empty infusion bottle.

“Hello? Anybody there?” she shouted after clearing her throat.

Carlos walked in from the next room.

He walked to the bed and pressed the nurse-call button. They were engulfed in complete silence as they waited. Soon after, two nurses walked in and Carlos said, “Bring her dinner.”

“Yes, Carlos.”

The nurses turned to leave, but Debbie said, “Please wait.”

“Yes, Mrs. Hilton. What can I do for you?” asked one of the nurses.
