Take My Breath Away

"All right, you said it! Do keep your word. Actually, I just came up with an excellent idea!" Debbie looked at Carlos with a sparkle in her eyes.

He grinned broadly. "You do know how to seize the moment."

"Of course! It's such a golden chance." Deep down, Debbie knew that Carlos spoiled her very much and allowed her to do whatever she wanted. But when it came to matters of Megan, it was hard to tell whether he would agree with her or not. So she wanted to take this chance to reach some sort of agreement with him.

"Tell me."

"Okay. Since you've arranged for me to study abroad, I think it's only fair that you send Megan abroad too. See? You've sent me to England and Dixon to America. So you should throw Megan to some remote, poor country far away from all of us."

Carlos was at a loss for words. 'My wife is crueler than me, ' he thought to himself, smirking.

Debbie didn't really want to drive Megan away to some remote country. As long as Megan stayed away from Carlos, any country was fine with her.

If Megan kept pestering her husband, Debbie was afraid that she would snatch him away sooner or later.

Carlos pondered about it for a moment. Then he said, "Since this semester has already begun, let her finish it. I'll send her to A Country after her final exams." Wesley was originally from A Country. The Li family was rooted there, so Wesley and his family could take care of Megan if she went there.

Now that Carlos had made an appropriate decision, Debbie thought she'd better stop asking for too much. She nodded happily and kissed his cheek. "Honey, you treat me so well."

Carlos pinched her cheek lovingly. "You're my wife. A husband is bound to spoil his wife, right?"

A happy smile crept over Debbie's face. She pulled him closer, pressed his head against her chest and patted him as if comforting a child. "Rest assured, I feel the same way. I'll love you for the rest of my life."

Carlos took the opportunity to run his fingers on her chest and kissed her neck. Startled by his movement, she protested, "Hey, behave yourself. You are wounded. Lie down. I'll give you a massage."

He raised an eyebrow. "Massage? When did you acquire such skills?"

Debbie pulled away from his arms and made him lie down on the bed. As she adjusted the height of the bed, she replied calmly, "I never said I had any special massage skills. I'll just...casually help you relax your muscles a little."

Carlos sighed, shaking his head helplessly.

Debbie took his right arm and began massaging it as she muttered, "Thank you, Mr. Huo, for your dedication to t

e no threat to Megan's life after that."

This was supposed to be confidential information which Wesley had given him in secret. Carlos hadn't intended on telling her, but to soothe Debbie, he had no choice but to tell her part of the truth.

If they could eliminate all physical threats around Megan, Wesley and Carlos would be more relieved, and they wouldn't need to be around Megan to protect her anymore.

Through her blurry eyes, Debbie asked, "The right time? When is that?"

"If things go well, it should be next month." 'Or sooner, ' he thought.

He would have been on his way to finish off those gangsters if Debbie hadn't come back without notice.

"Hmm..." Debbie sniffed. She completely believed his words, without realizing his true intentions.

Carlos tightened his arms around her. It took him quite a while to finally stop her tears.

In the end, they both fell asleep in each other's arms.

Debbie spent the night at the hospital to keep him company. She had wanted to ask Carlos about the incident of James adding birth control pills in her food. But throughout the night, she couldn't find a chance to ask him about it.

She had already argued with him over Megan, so she didn't want to stir up more matters to annoy him. She understood that Carlos must be stuck between a rock and a hard place. After all, it was his own father. Under no circumstances could he deal with his father like how he dealt with his rivals in business.

Even if Carlos was ready to punish James ruthlessly, Debbie wouldn't agree to it. The last thing she wanted was for Carlos to turn his back against his family because of her.

But little did Debbie know that Carlos had already had a terrible fight with James.
