“Yes, I’m sure! Leave me alone!”
I swatted his hand away and locked the door quickly as soon as he stepped back.
“If you need anything, just call me. I’ll be right outside,” Caleb added.
“Got it.”
Ever since I woke up, Caleb seemed to have changed into a completely different person. He was so concerned about me and my wellbeing.
Despite it being strange, I kind of felt touched. This was something I had never felt before.𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Just then, my phone pinged. Harlan had sent me a text.
“Please take care of yourself, Debra. And tell me when you’re discharged. I’ll pick you up myself.”
This message brought me back to reality.
All of a sudden, I felt a sense of loss and emptiness in my heart.
I had been so immersed in Caleb’s sudden kindness that I almost forgot my mission and the crisis of Roz Town.
I pursed my lips, wondering what would Caleb would do to Janiya after she hurt me like this.
Would he try to avenge me? Or…
The more I thought about it, the heavier I felt. The sweet feeling in my heart quickly dissipated.

On the following day, Caleb took me downstairs to let me get some sun.
The sunlight was warm and indeed, it felt good to be out and about again. Children were blowing bubbles in the garden, and an old man was quietly watching them with a calm smile.
Everything seemed to be so peaceful and quiet.
I couldn’t help but grin. “The kids are so cute.”
“If you miss your daughter, I can take her here to see you,” Caleb offered. “I’d never stop a mother from seeing her child, especially you. I want you to be happy.”
I looked at him in surprise.
It seemed that he had really changed. Instead of the cold, selfish person I knew him to be, he was now reasonable and kind.
Perhaps he would even make a good father.
At this moment, I suddenly felt an impulse to introduce Caleb to Elena.
After all, she was his daughter.
