Chapter 616
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Assuming the couple were fighting, Colleen rolled her eyes at Carlos.
âDebbie, donât cry. Gregoryâs not busy. So if your husband canât take care of you, Iâll call my brother and
ask him to come and look after you,â she said, trying to comfort Debbie.
Recently, Colleen learned her brother had a crush on DebbieâCarlosâ wife. She knew that Gregory
stood no chance and that it would go nowhere. She felt sorry for her brother.
Now that there was an opportunity for Gregory to show how much he cared, Colleen grabbed it for him.
And with both her and Curtis around, she believed Carlos wouldnât be tough on her brother.
Colleen took out her phone and was about to dial the number, when
Carlos observed.
âColleen, youâre a bride-to-be. Donât you have a wedding to plan?â
His tone was full of warning.
Colleen stared at him and put her phone away. After twitching her lips unhappily, she commented,
âDebbie just had a serious accident. Why do you have to be so mean? Couldnât this wait until sheâs
well? Youâre so rude. Honestly, I donât know how Debbie puts up with you.â
Then Curtis took the tray out of Emmettâs hands and put it beside the bed. He sat down on the edge of
the bed and picked up a bowl of congee.
Gently, he spooned some food out of it and placed it to her mouth.
âHere, eat something. Weâll get you to another hospital.â
âOkay. Thank you, Mr. Loftus,â Debbie said sweetly.
Carlos watched and listened.
Just as Debbie was about to take a bite, the proud man who had just been criticized by everyone else
in the ward snatched the bowl and spoon away from Curtis and snapped, âSheâs my wife, Curtis. Now,
go away!â
Curtis was simply pushed off the bed. Looking at the overbearing man he shook his head. âThis manâs
ego sometimes makes him lose his head.
But at least, now the reverse psychology is working. If he wonât take care of her, weâll make a show of
it. Then, heâll be forced by his jealousy to act, even if he wants to punish her instead of cherishing her.â
âOpen your mouth!â Carlos ordered bluntly
Debbie snorted, âSince youâre so gallant, I guess Iâll have to open my mouth.â A spoon of warm congee
was put into her mouth.
âShut your mouth!â
âOne minute, you ask me to open my mouth, and the next, you ask me to shut my mouth. Youâre so
high-maintenance. Carlos, if I shut my mouth, how will you feed me?â asked Debbie, blinking.
The man of few words was again rendered speechless, while Colleen and
Emmett burst into laughter. This was too good. She was giving as good as she got.
Another group of visitors came sauntering into the ward while Debbie ate. They were Jared, Damon,
and Damonâs wife Adriana Morris.
