“Get out now!” As soon as Debbie shut the door behind her, Carlos put the things away on the bedside table and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
Meanwhile, just outside the room, Debbie stood there blankly, wondering what to do. After a while, she decided to keep her mind busy but soon she realized that there were no ingredients at hto prepare a meal, because she hadn’t been living there for the past few months.
After taking a quick look at the closed bedroom door, Debbie grabbed her purse and went downstairs again. She went to a convenience store and bought instant noodles, sandwiches and a few grilled kebabs.
She didn’t prepare the portion of food for Decker since he was wounded and needed to avoid anything that could cause inflammations. After preparing a simple dinner for her and Carlos, she went back to let him know that dinner was ready.
When she opened the door, she saw Decker biting down on his shirt to help with the pain, as beads of sweat trickled down his face. The bed sheet was already half-stained by the blood from his body.
Much to her surprise, Carlos was squatting next to Decker, carefully stitching his wound. She quietly walked to Carlos’ side to have a closer Look.

She assumed Decker knew how to stitch up his wounds since he was the one who asked her to buy all the required items.
And now, after watching the way Carlos sutured Decker’s wounds, she couldn’t help but feel impressed.
ALL the while, Decker silently endured the pain without any general anesthesia. When he couldn’t take it anymore, he let out a subdued groan. Debbie held her breath and rushed closer to her brother, cupping his clenched fist in her hands.
Sensing the touch of her hand, Decker opened his eyes and took a deep breath. The sight of his sister’s worried face forced a tear to drop from the corner of his bloodshot eye.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Debbie seemed puzzled, trying to think who it could be. Carlos asked her to open the door and said, “It’s Niles.”
‘Niles? What’s he doing here at this hour?’ she wondered.
She let go of Decker’s hand and ran to open the door. It was indeed
Niles, standing outside, with a big medical box in his hands.
