Besides, Curtis had never heard Carlos trash Debbie in front of them, and likewise, no one was allowed to speak badly of Debbie.
“Mr. Loftus, did you cto defend Carlos?” Debbie smiled helplessly.
Curtis was indeed Carlos’ loyal friend. She still remembered when they had a fight the other day, Curtis did the sthing and kept putting in a good word for Carlos. He would go to the mattresses for him, and wasn’t Likely to abandon him even in difficult circumstances. Which was exactly what a good friend was supposed to do.
Curtis shook his head.
“No, I’m telling the truth.”

But much to her frustration, Carlos stuck her in the hospital again.
She couldn’t bear another boring stay in the hospital. She was tired of inhaling disinfectant.
Curtis raised his eyebrows.
“You don’t want to stay here?”
“No, not another second!” More importantly, she also didn’t want to see
Carlos for the tbeing.
Moments later, Debbie blatantly stepped out of the ward, tagging along with Curtis.
Carlos and Damon were busy chatting in the corridor. They stopped talking all of a sudden when they heard the footsteps.
Curtis walked up to Carlos and said, “Hey Carlos, Colleen has something to say to Debbie. You’ll get her back later.”
Carlos didn’t say anything, nor did he Look back at Curtis. He had kept his eyes glued on Debbie the moment she walked out of the ward. Debbie, of course, had sensed his intent gaze, but she just looked away, trying to avoid eye contact with him.
Curtis looked between the silently bickering couple and laughed. He shook his head helplessly while patting Carlos on the shoulder.

Carlos finally broke the silence. In a cold voice, he snapped,
“Childlike? Have you seen any of your students do something like this?”
“Beyond all her bad habits and outrageous behavior, she’s gone overboard. She tried to kill Megan… in broad daylight!’ Carlos thought angrily.
Curtis wasn’t able to find the best words to defend Debbie.
Hearing his reply, Debbie finally shifted her gaze to Carlos. She sneered and taunted him, “Carlos, Kettle, Black. You had the guts to have your wife thrown to the sea to feed the sharks. I was lucky to survive, but then you wanted to buryalive. Again, I was blessed by
God and escaped your deadly grasp. But then you draggedinto the river to drown me. Am I your wife, or your enemy?”
Carlos lost control of his temper and darted toward Debbie to grab her.
