With a mischievous smile, Caleb offered, âGifford, how about I sing a lullaby for you?â @®
Gifford rolled his eyes in exasperation and ignored him.
I really didnât want to see their childish bickering, so I decided to get some refreshments at the canteen.
But not long after I walked out of the ward, Caleb followed me out.
Confused, he asked, âDebra, whyâd you suddenly go to the bar today? And whyâd you turn off your phone and ignore me?â

âAsk yourself.
â I glanced at him coldly and kept on walking.
Caleb was puzzled.
âMe? I didnât do anything.
â
His innocent expression pissed me off.
âCaleb, do you know what Carlos did today? Are you saying it wasnât you who asked Carlos to bail Marley out of jail?â I laughed angrily.
âWhat? Bail out Marley?â Caleb was more confused.
âI didnât ask Carlos to do anything of the sort.

Debraâs POV:
Here I was, giving Caleb a chance to explain himself, yet he still played ignorant.
I felt so disappointed.
We had gone through so much together.
Why couldnât he just tell me the truth? Was it really so difficult for him to be honest with me?
Pain and anger rose in my heart, making it hard for me to breathe.
Although Caleb claimed to not have any feelings for Marley, he stilt protected her in secret.
When would this man really prove himself worthy of my trust?
Fuming, I ignored him and proceeded to buy some refreshments before returning to Giffordâs ward.
The following morning, Gifford Looked much better, and fortunately, his wound did not fester.
His people had also arrived, which meant that he was in good hands.
Unwilling to wait for another second in Giffordâs ward, Caleb grabbed my hand and said, âLetâs get out of here, Debra.
â
I nodded.
After all, Elena was still at home.
If we didnât come back in time, no one would take her to kindergarten.

âGet some rest, Gifford.
Iâm heading out.

After saying goodbye to Gifford, Caleb and I left the hospital.
On the way back home, I called Riley.
As soon as the call connected, I heard someoneâs voice in the background.
It was Marley!
