“Bye Carlos, see you!”
Carlos felt suspicious of them. His intuition told him these kids were planning something behind his back.
They had always been courteous to him, but this time, it was more than that. They seemed to want to butter him up, as if trying to get on his good side. Especially Jared. He had even clasped his hands in prayer when he left the ward.
With that thought in mind, Carlos turned to Emmett and instructed, “Go and get sinformation from your girlfriend.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEmmett understood what he meant.
“Yes, Carlos!”
But… He suddenly felt baffled. Kasie was on Debbie’s side, and so was he! Besides, Kasie was one of Debbie’s best friends. Not exactly a reliable source, especially if she was part of the plan. No matter what information he had gotten wind of, he wouldn’t betray Debbie. He Liked the girl, though he was curious what she was up to.
As a protest against Carlos, Debbie was determined to endure a long, boring stay in the hospital rather than bow down and beg him to take her back home.
A week later, Debbie was finally discharged from the hospital.
Breathing in the fresh air outside, Debbie felt a surge of excitement coursing throughout her body. ‘No more smell of disinfectant in the air! Amazing!’ she exclaimed in her mind.
Truth was, if it weren’t for the new semester starting in two days,
Carlos wouldn’t have allowed her to be discharged from hospital until the scar on her forehead vanished. So she felt really Lucky.
After leaving the hospital, Carlos drove her back to the manor.
Much to her disappointment, he left for his office at once, even before she’d been properly settled there.
Watching him slowly disappear from sight, she could do nothing. She searched her brain, but found no excuses to make him stay a little
Longer.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe rhythm of an old song began to play in the back of her mind. She tried to recall the lyrics. ‘Yeah, I remember now!’ Then, she cleared her throat and began to sing.
“I hide my tears from you to play cool. I give you a cold shoulder, however I care. Never thought you’d leavealong the way. My heart is dripping blood, but I have no courage to make you stay. I watch, you go to a world, far, far away…”
As she sang the sad song, Debbie felt much better. Sad songs sometimes had a way of doing that, curiously. They were cathartic, in a way, and sometimes more effective than all the anti-depressants a pharmacy had to offer. Then, she remembered Carlos told her to buy whatever she needed because her luggage had been lost. They weren’t going to drag the river to find someone’s dresses or makeup collection. Besides, she had stayed in the hospital for so many days. She needed to break out hang out, and do sshopping.
“Your tenderness is nowhere to be found, and I lose all reasons to be strong…” Debbie continued to sing to herself as she slowly made her way upstairs. Funny enough, she suddenly sped up the rhythm, changing the sad melody to a cheery tune.
Meanwhile, Carlos had made a call to a housemaid before driving out of the manor. He asked the housemaid what Debbie was doing at the moment.
With complicated feelings, the housemaid looked at the woman who was singing happily, and replied honestly, “Carlos… Debbie is singing.”
Carlos was surprised. ‘Singing? So she’s quite happy even withouthe thought, upset.
Unsatisfied with the answer, he hung up the phone at once, his face darkened. He was as gloomy as ever, and the mood around him darkened as well.
