Chapter 574
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Hilton family members were trying to drive her mad. Fortunately she was made of sterner stuff than
that. But now, she was just exhausted. Her eyes had already started to close when the maid drew close
and started to speak.
âMrs. Hilton, Carlos asked us to prepare this for you. Please move closer so that I can apply the ice,â
she said quietly. Apparently the maid followed her inside the room holding a tray in her hands. She was
too tired to notice.
âOkay, thank you,â Debbie agreed. Actually, her face didnât hurt much right now, but she was too weary
to speak much or do anything. Her head was full of thoughts. She just lay there and let the maid do her
job.
The things that had happened tonight hit her like a ton of bricks. Only the dull pain in her face reminded
her it was all too real.
âWas the Hilton family too mean or was I a Lousy daughter-in-law?
Maybe both.
Carlos hit Lewis and James because of me. I was so moved by that. But then I saw Megan in his
arms⦠and he isnât home yet⦠Oh, God, this is so frustrating and stressful, â she thought.
She took the towel and ice from the maidâs hands.
âGo to sleep. I can do it myself,â she told the maid.
After the maid left the room, Debbie placed the ice onto the tray and called Kasie. She would know
what to do. Or could at least give her moral support.
âHey, Tomboy, Why are you calling so late? Itâs midnight in New York.
Shouldnât you and your husband be doing the dirty-dirty in bed?â
Debbie felt sadder when Kasie mentioned Carlos.
âI had a bad day today.
Kasie, I want to go home.â
Kasie captured her sad tone.
âWhat happened?â
âToo much. Thatâs what happened. I donât even know where to start.
Kasie, they donât Like me. What should I do?â
Kasie was relieved.
âI thought it was something serious. Why do you even care? As long as your husband likes you,
nothing else matters.â
âI know. And it should be like that. But when Carlos got in a fight with his family because of me, I felt so
awful. And Megan, his not-by-blood niece, loves him in a romantic way. It bugs the hell out of me, but I
canât get mad at Carlos because of it.â Debbie started to channel her depression and told Kasie what
had happened over the past two days.
Kasie listened to her quietly and then asked, âSo, Carlos hit Lewis and
James to defend your honor, and then Meganâs asthma acted up, and
Carlos carried her back to the manor and hasnât come back yet now. Am I right?â
