Another doctor said, “Hurry. Carlos doesn’t look well. Examine him.”

Carlos recognized the prank his wife was pulling.

Debbie was surprised by the number of doctors who had swarmed in. She looked at Carlos, who was struggling to suppress his urge with his eyes closed. The hopeless look on his face made her feel better. So she said, “He’s fine. The needle seems to be a little crooked. Blood has gotten into it.”

The doctor-in-charge adjusted the needle swiftly. Noticing Carlos’ grimacing face, the doctor asked in concern, “Carlos, you don’t look well. What’s the matter?”

Carlos snapped, “Get out!”

Not daring to say anything else, the doctor Led his subordinates out of the ward quickly.

Again, it was just the two of them.

Carlos opened his eyes and said, “Come here.” His voice was much more tender.

Debbie walked over to him slowly. She stood to his left and started unbuttoning his hospital clothes.

Carlos grabbed her hand tightly.

Debbie gazed at him.

“I just want to look at your wound.”

“It has been bandaged. There’s nothing to look at. Why did you come back without telling me?” Not just her, none of his employees in

England had informed him of it. ‘It looks like I will have to replace them all.’

Debbie wrenched free of his grasp.

“How could I stay there any Longer?

My husband had almost become someone else’s.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Debbie didn’t respond. She didn’t think she had said anything wrong.

Carlos moved aside to make room for her. Then he pulled her onto the bed and said, “Sleep with me.”

“I don’t need any sleep,” she objected.

“Yes, you do,” he insisted.

With Debbie in his arms, and the familiar scent of her around him,

Carlos fell asleep soon.

Debbie was tired too. But the scene she had witnessed earlier kept her awake.
