“Mr. Handsome. . she muttered. The ice around Carlos’ heart melted.
The tough man softened. The tenderness in his eyes went rogue. Nothing could conceal it anymore
He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead.
“Don’t worry,
I’m getting you out of here.“ He was so gentle, so caring, Debbie thought she was having a beautiful dream. Slowly, she closed her eyes again. If she stayed in that dream, she would rather never open her eyes again.

Being a gentleman, before leaving, Carlos said to Hayden, “Thank you,
Hayden, for taking care of my wife tonight.”
Hayden nodded in response.
The whole thing was done rather quietly. The other patient never stirred.
Onlookers gathered at the door as they left the ward.
The bodyguards cleared the way for them ahead, so Carlos and Debbie got to the parking Lot without disturbance.
Emmett trotted to the car and opened the back door for him. After he and Debbie got in, Emmett sat in the passenger seat.
They were heading for an affiliated private hospital owned by Hilton

Two chief physicians along with a few nurses were waiting for them at the entrance to the intake department. They walked up as soon as
Carlos’ car arrived.

Carlos reminded him with a furrow, “She’s on her period. Be careful with the medicine. I don’t want her harmed.”
“Yes, Carlos.”
When everything was settled, it was already past 2 a.m. Carlos sent
Emmett hto get srest and he himself sat on the wide bed.
Sitting on the bed, his back against the headboard, Carlos carefully took Debbie in his arms.
He took special care with the hand that was hooked up to an IV.
Stroking her other hand, he noticed how pale her hands were. Her face was pasty white. He had never seen her so fragile. His every movement was made with extrcare, like she would break if he moved too fast or forcefully.
