NovelEnglishDebbie stopped and looked at him coldly.
“I’m sorry. Do I know you? Get away from me.”
Gus was stunned by her rude tone. It was not until then that he sensed there was something wrong about her behavior towards him.
His happy face disappeared. He shouted at her back, “Debbie, I was just asking you to call‘Uncle’, as you rightly should. Do you have to pull such a long face for that?”
Without so much as a pause, Debbie walked straight towards her classroom.

Why does he puton such frustrating tasks every time?’ he wondered sullenly.
On the eighth day she was in England, Debbie video-called Carlos and learned that he was sick.
She asked Emmett how it happened, and he told her that ever since she had gone to England, Carlos hadn’t gone back to the manor even once. He ate and slept at the company and worked more than ten hours a day. The long hours, stress, and lack of sleep eventually damaged his health.
Today was the third day he had been sick, but he had taken no medicine and insisted on working without a break.
Worried, Debbie made him go to the hospital by coaxing, ordering, and threatening him all at once.
Even so, she still didn’t believe that Carlos would take his pills Like he was supposed to.
During recess, she sent Carlos a message asking, “Did you take your medicine? Take a picture so that I can see it for myself.”
She didn’t get any reply. Instead, she got a domestic call from an unknown number.
“Hello?” she answered.
“Aunt Debbie, it’s me. Uncle Carlos hasn’t taken his medicine yet. He’s having a fever of 39°C. I’ve tried to persuade him, but he won’t Listen.
You try.

Debbie couldn’t figure out why the girl had called her all of a sudden.
“Where is he?”
“In the meeting room. He left his phone in his office on charge. I didn’t mean to pry into his personal messages. When your message came, the phone screen lit up, and I saw it accidentally. And…”
Debbie hung up while Megan was still explaining the situation.
She called Emmett, but he was in another city on a business trip. She asked him for another assistant’s phone number, and she finally got hold of Carlos.
Debbie sounded as calm as still water.
“You have high fever. Why are you still working? Do you wantto buy an air ticket and cback to take care of you right away?”
