Carlos turned to stare at Curtis, his face fell. After a while, he said, “Okay, I see. Just report to your postand stand by for more orders.”

Confused by his stare, Curtis asked with doubt, “What happened?”

Carlos put his phone away and tidied up his clothes, returning to his stoic and imperious self. He saidcalmly, “Gus… Curtis, why did you come here? Are you and your brother trying to make trouble, or…”

‘My brother? Gus?’ Curtis suddenly realized that Gus had come to the hospital for another checkuptoday. He chuckled under his breath.

“Gus didn’t mean anything by doing this. He had the stomach flu two days ago. He’s recovered, but thedoctor asked him to come back to make sure…”

“So Deb got lucky!” Curtis Laughed in his mind.

Damon had been silently watching the show the whole time. He was laughing, because the situationwas so absurd. Debbie was definitely giving Carlos a taste of his own medicine. Now he walked up toCarlos and rested his hands on Carlos’ shoulders, looking into his eyes. A moment later, under thestoic man’s cold glance, Damon finally said,

“I’m sorry.”

As amused as he was, he did feel sorry for Carlos. Debbie was such a troublemaker. Meanwhile, hefelt lucky that his own wife was mature, composed and charming.

Outside the hospital

In the driver’s seat, while driving the car, a young man took a glance at the cars behind them in therear-view mirror. When he confirmed that there was no suspicious car following them, he finally let his

guard down. Glaring at the panting woman in the passenger seat, he confronted her, “Hey, Debbie, yourunning from someone?”

Debbie patted her chest to steady her breath.

“Yeah.” ‘My husband!’ she exclaimed in her mind.

Gus snorted. He wouldn’t believe her words. He didn’t bother saying anything more about it. Instead,he said outright, “Get out of my car at the next intersection. And remember the fare.”

“You’re charging me for the ride? Should I call Mr. Loftus now?” As she said this, she pulled out herphone from her pocket.

Gus shouted with anger, “Hey! If it weren’t for me, those guys would have caught you! Is this how youthank me?”

Debbie relaxed her whole body and leaned back weakly in her seat.

“Can

I ride a little while longer? Long enough for a few phone calls?

Then, she called Jared first.

“Hey, Jared, drinks tonight!”

Unexpectedly, it was Jared’s dad who answered the phone.

“Debbie? It’s Jasper.”

“Oh hello, Jasper!” Debbie said politely

Jasper smiled and replied in a more formal and courteous voice, “Hello Debbie. I’m afraid Jared isn’tfree tonight. Take a rain check?”
