Take My Breath Away

Chapter 492: Abortion

Debbie blushed at Carlos' love confession, and she felt so happy at that moment.         

    

They reached the twelfth floor, and the whole floor was shrouded in silence. Carlos led Debbie to the door of an office when two familiar voices came from within the room.     

"Niles, will you stop talking nonsense? Hurry up and check my kidneys. I feel there is something wrong with them," said Damon.     

"Oh, really?" Niles asked nonchalantly. "What's wrong with your kidneys?"     

Damon looked at him with a sad look and complained, "It's all Carlos' fault."     

"What? Carlos? What did you guys do?"     action

Damon's answer not only stunned Niles, but also made Debbie giggle.     

With a gloomy face, Carlos kicked the door open. When Damon saw Carlos, he was shocked and cowered with fear, blurting out nervously, "Carlos, what are you doing here?"     

Carlos cast a scornful glance at him and scoffed, "To have someone's kidney removed."     

"Whose?"     

"Yours." Disdain was written all over Carlos' face.     

Damon covered his waist and rushed towards the door. However, Niles grabbed his collar and said, "Hey, let me give you an injection."

"No, no. I have to keep my kidneys to meet my wife's needs." Damon broke free from Niles and rushed to a corner sitting on the chair, feigning terror.     

Carlos stared at him and asked, "Why are you here?"     

Damon rolled his eyes and snapped back at him, "Have my kidneys checked. It's all your fault!" Carlos had hired women to seduce him every day. Faced with so many hot women, Damon could do nothing but restrain his desires. As time went by, he felt that he had a kidney deficiency.     

Niles opened the door to the examination room and gestured for Damon to go in. "I'll give you a thorough examination," he said.     

Then he turned to Carlos. "Everything is ready. You guys go to the operating room first. It's next to this one."     

Carlos couldn't be bothered to stay to watch Niles carry out a check-up on Damon. He and Debbie made their way towards the room Niles had shown him.     

When he pushed the door open, he saw several bodyguards standing inside. Upon seeing their boss, they greeted him respectfully.     

Carlos nodded to them and walked inside.     

There was an operating table and some medical equipment with several doctors standing around the table. Stephanie was lying on the table.     

She seemed to be fast asleep. Her eyes were shut, and her face was deathly pale.     

Carlos turned around and ordered the bodyguards, "Bring them in."     

"Yes, Mr. Huo."     

Soon, two people were brought in. To Debbie's surprise, they were James and Glenda.     

Their hands and feet were tied with ropes, and they were both gagged. Horror was evident in Glenda's wide-open eyes, but James looked rather calm.         

    

However, when James saw his daughter lying on the operating table, fear gripped his entire body in an instant. He turned to look at Carlos with pleading eyes, but Carlos didn't so much as spare him a single glance. Ignoring James' imploring moans and grunts, Carlos studied the scalpels that were spread out on the table.     

Debbie fixed her eyes on the operating table and grabbed Carlos' hand tightly.     

It brought back the horrific memories from three years ago when James had tied her to an operating table and forced her to divorce Carlos. He had threatened that he would have doctors abort her baby. She was so traumatized that several months later, when she went into labor, she was too afraid to go into the delivery room. However, at the doctors' insistence, she finally went there at the last minute.     

In the delivery room, she focused on observing the doctors vigilantly. She was afraid that the doctors were sent by James and that they would take her baby away. During the childbirth, even though Debbie was in great pain, she refused any medication. She wanted to be fully conscious and aware, to keep an eye on the doctors.     

Carlos sensed that something wasn't right with Debbie.     

She was trembling all over. Carlos gently pulled her into his arms and patted her back to soothe and comfort her. "Honey, trust me. No one will ever harm you again," he said softly in her ear.     

"Mmm... Carlos, are you going to do something to her baby?"     

"She said she didn't want the baby. So I'd like to help her get rid of it. I'm a good man, right?" Carlos said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. Carlos had his principles. No matter how much he hated Stephanie, he wouldn't deal with an unborn baby. It was Stephanie herself who didn't want it.     

Stephanie had made an appointment with a doctor of another hospital to abort the baby. Carlos, however, asked his men to bring her to this hospital.     

If Stephanie had regretted her decision and wanted to keep the baby, Carlos would have let her keep it. But she didn't.     

'Help her?' Debbie shook her head helplessly. In his arms, she took a deep breath and calmed down a lot. She raised her head again and gave him a small smile. "Will you give her anesthesia?" she asked.     

"No," Carlos simply said.     

His reply sent a chill down everyone's spine.     

Debbie looked at the scalpels and said, "I want to stay. Okay?"

"Sure. You can do whatever you like." The reason Carlos had brought her here was to avenge her.     

He ordered his men to remove the gags from James and Glenda. Glenda sobbed bitterly, "Carlos, please don't do this to my daughter. Please let her go. I beg you, please..."     

James' whole body was shaking. "Carlos Huo, you can vent your anger out on me. Let her go..."     

Carlos curled his lips. His smile was as vicious as a venomous snake. "Don't worry. You'll be next. No one will be getting away with what they have done."     

Glenda's loud crying woke Stephanie. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around. When she discovered where she was, she tried to sit up and yelled, "Carlos Huo, what do you want?" That was when she realized that her hands were tied to each side of the operating table.     

At that moment, Niles came into the room while cursing under his breath, "Damn! Damon is such a coward. There's nothing wrong with him, yet he forced me to do a thorough check-up on him. It was such a waste of my time..." When he saw so many people inside the room, he flashed a broad smile. "Hi, Uncle James. Hi, Uncle James' mistress. Hello, Miss Li. You're finally awake."     

'Uncle James' mistress?' Both James and Glenda turned sour.     

Ignoring Niles, Stephanie fixed her eyes on Carlos. Unlike her mother, she was calm and composed. "Carlos Huo, you better kill me right here and now. Otherwise, the first thing that I'm going to do after I leave here is report you to the authorities for having people **** me and holding me against my will."     

Carlos picked up a scalpel and played with it in his hand. The scalpel shone under the light. After a while, he said mockingly, "Kill you?"     

An evil smile appeared on his lips as he shot the scalpel towards Stephanie.     

Debbie watched in horror, and a chill ran down her spine.         

    

"Aaargh!" Stephanie let out a bloodcurdling scream.     

The scalpel cut her arm and dropped to the floor.     

"You think that I wouldn't dare kill you?" Carlos mocked.     

James roared, "Carlos Huo, only a coward will torment a woman—" His voice trailed off as he remembered what he had done to Debbie.
