Chapter 1400

Debbie’s voice brought him back to his senses. He loosened his forceful grip a little bit and called out,

“Honey.”

“Carlos, let go of her!” Debbie yelled anxiously when she saw that

Stephanie’s breathing had weakened. The woman had even stopped struggling. In a panic, Debbie

squatted on the bed next to her and tried to pry Carlos’ hand away.

But the man didn’t move a muscle. He spat between clenched teeth, “No!

She must die today!”

Curtis realized that Carlos was dead serious. Before things could turn worse, he ran over to stop

Carlos. He grabbed the angry man from behind and tried to drag him away. Meanwhile, Debbie was

still trying hard to pry each of his fingers open. Yet, their efforts ended in vain. He just wouldn’t let go.

Stephanie’s face now began to turn deathly pale. Debbie’s heart skipped a beat. ‘No, no! I can’t let

Carlos commit murder!’ she thought, burning with anxiety and fear.

She collected herself and changed the strategy. Pulling an angry face, she glared at Carlos and

berated, “Carlos, you aren’t even Listening to me! I swear I’ll leave Alorith with your daughter if you

don’t let go of that woman right away! You’ll never see Piggy or me ever again!”

Debbie turned on her heels, and walked away from the scene.

But just as she walked past Carlos, he grabbed her hand.

She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw his big palm holding her hand.

His hand was on hers, so Stephanie should be safe now.

In an instant, she heard Stephanie gasping for air and coughing violently. The sound echoed through

the quiet room.

Carlos pulled Debbie into his arms.

“Where are you going with our daughter?” he asked, sounding rather helpless.

“What do you care?” Debbie yelled, her voice trembling. She was still haunted by the fear of Carlos

becoming a murderer.

He kissed her forehead gently and showed his empty hands to her.

“I let go of her,” he coaxed.

Since Carlos had regained his memory, Debbie wasn’t afraid of getting mad at him in front of others.

She reprimanded him further, “Did you consider my feelings when you were trying to kill her? If you

become a murderer, what should Evelyn and I do?”

“I won’t be—” ‘-put behind bars, ‘ he wanted to say, but Debbie didn’t let him finish.

“Yes, I know how powerful you are in Alorith. Even if you kill both

Stephanie and James, you won’t be put in jail. But how do you think I would feel about it? It would

haunt me forever if I see you kill a person in front of my eyes! My life would be overshadowed by the

trauma! You always say that you Love me. Is this the Love you have for me? Make me spend my Life

with a criminal?”

Carlos said nothing.

Curtis couldn’t help but let out a chuckle under his breath. Carlos looked Like a kid being scolded by his

mother.

“You’re a grown man, not a kid! Can’t you think before you spring into action? Did you even think about

your wife and daughter? When Evelyn grows up, people will laugh at her saying that her father is a

murderer and her mother an accomplice. Your daughter will be frowned upon by others for the rest of

her life! Do you understand what I am saying?”
