âWhen you were injected with the antidote, she also suffered.
Youâre strong, so you were able to recover quickly.
She, on the other hand, hasnât.
She wasnât in good health in the first place.
After having to endure so much pain, she became even weaker.
â
I was so shocked that I couldnât move a muscle.
I always assumed that Debra marked me after my body was purged of the poison.
Little did I know that she had actually marked me to save me.
As Carlos spoke of Debra, he showed a look of sincere awe and admiration.
âCaleb, you came so close to dying.
Neither Melany nor
Brian could decide whether to inject you with the antidote or not.
I was so anxious that I almost beat them up.
It was Debra who solved the problem.
She said that sheâd stay with you if you could survive.
And if you didnât, she vowed to take your body back to the Thorn Edge Pack and undergo a trial.
She refused to blame anyone else but herself.
When she made the decision for you, she was so determined-much more resolute than any man Iâve met _
Gradually, his voice trailed off in my ears.
I couldnât hear him anymore, too consumed with regret for what I had done today.

Debra had endured so much pain for me, but she didnât tell me about it.
But what about me? What had I done for her?
Regret overwhelmed my heart.
âIf I had known earlier, I wouldnât have aggravated her today.
I just wanted to spend time with my daughter-thatâs why I took Elena back to the hotel.
I shouldâve talked with Debra so that she wouldnât have to worry about anything!â
âSo thatâs why she kicked you out,â Carlos mused.
âCaleb, Debraâs a tough woman.
Sheâs not like any of the women youâve been with before.
I doubt you can just win her heart so easily.
â
Debraâs POV:
I didnât want to stay in the hotel much longer, so at the crack of dawn, I took Elena back to my place.
I had just put my bag down when Harlan called me.

âDebra, did Zoe make things difficult for you yesterday?â he asked with concern.
âDonât worry,â I replied calmly.
âShe was just a little angry because we lied to her, but she didnât do anything excessive.
â
âOkay, thatâs good.
â Harlan let out a sigh of relief.
âHowâs everything going with you, Harlan? Is Gale getting any better?â
âFortunately, her Life is out of danger for now.
The doctor said that she should be able to recover, but sheâs still extremely weak right now, and she hasnât woken up yet.
She needs to rest some more.
â
Though I felt somewhat relieved, I still warned Harlan seriously.
âYou have to keep an eye on Gale at all times, Harlan.
Only assign people you trust to watch over her.
Donât give our enemies a chance to do something.
â
âYeah, I know.
â Harlan waved his hand confidently.
âDonât worry.
Iâve arranged everything.
There will be no more accidents
Although Harlan was usually rash and impulsive, he was reliable when it came to critical moments like this.
I didnât doubt his capabilities in the slightest.
âThe pack will be fine.
ALL we have to do is wait for her to wake up.
Truth be told, Iâm more worried about you.
â Speaking of this, Harlan ran his fingers through his cropped hair irritably.
