Hearing no response from him, Debbie massaged his shin more forcefully, as if venting her anger.
“Why the silence? Are you hiding something from me? Is it a secret between you and Megan?”
To appease her, Carlos had to spill the beans.
“No. It’s just that there were too many enemies this tand they attacked all of a sudden. Megan couldn’t protect herself…” ‘You got two gunshot wounds to protect Megan, ‘ she thought angrily.

Unconvinced by his explanation, Debbie clenched her fists.
“Did you consider my feelings? If the bullet had hit your heart or head, instead of your shoulder, you…” Her voice trailed off, and her eyes brimmed with tears. With a quiet sob, she added, “If something worse had happened, what would I have had to face when I cback here? Did you ever stop to think about that? Do you loveat all? You will worryto death!”
Tears streamed down her red cheeks.
Carlos immediately sat up and grabbed her wrist, pulling her into his arms.
“Please, don’t cry.”
“I can’t help it! Are you forgetting that you are not single anymore?
You have a wife, and you have your parents. But you almost died for that Megan… How could your family live without you? Even if you are not concerned about me, think about how sad your parents and your grandparents would be.”
Debbie cried even more hysterically. She was so scared when she imagined a life after losing Carlos. It struck her that this man meant the world to her, but he would thoughtlessly throw his life away for some other woman.
Her cries gripped his heart. Wiping off her tears with his fingers, he comforted in a hushed voice, “Honey, this will all be over soon. Those gangsters have been put on the police’s most wanted list. They are now wanted all over the country. Wesley has found their base camp. When the right time comes, he will take his men to root them out. There will be no threat to Megan’s life after that.”

Through her blurry eyes, Debbie asked, “The right time? When is that?”
“If things go well, it should be next month.” ‘Or sooner, ‘ he thought.
He would have been on his way to finish off those gangsters if Debbie hadn’t cback without notice.
“Hmm…” Debbie sniffed. She completely believed his words, without realizing his true intentions.
Carlos tightened his arms around her. It took him quite a while to finally stop her tears.
