The last thing I could remember seeing was Adam getting on top of me.
Debra’s POV:
With Harlan’s aid, I managed to Leave the hospital.
At first, Harlan declined my request.
However, compelled by my unwavering resolve, he had to sneak into my ward at midnight.
Upon laying eyes upon me, Harlan blurted out, “Have you Lost your senses following this ordeal? You’re still in the process of recuperation.”
His gaze brimmed with skepticism as he questioned, “The doctor didn’t grant you permission to leave the hospital. Why the rush to Leave?”
I hastily explained, “The doctor thoroughly examined me and confirmed that I am in perfect health. My present stay at the hospital is merely for observation purposes. Harlan, please get me out of here.”
“Can’t we just leave in the daytime? Why do we have to sneak out in the middle of the night?” Harlan persisted with doubt.
Just then, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed from outside the ward, indicating that the nurse was conducting her rounds
Anxious that they might find Harlan, I whispered, “Harlan, please, let’s leave this place now. I have come to understand the reason behind your dislike towards Caleb. I cannot bear to lay eyes on him even for a moment .”
“I understand,” Harlan acknowledged. “Now it makes sense why you have this sudden urge to leave this place.”
At that very moment, the doorknob was abruptly turned.
It was the nurse conducting her rounds.
Harlan and I fell silent instantly, our hearts racing.

Anxiety consumed me as I dreaded the possibility of Harlan being discovered, which would undoubtedly jeopardize our plan
However, for reasons unbeknownst to us, the nurse, upon discovering the locked door, departed without exhibiting any signs of suspicion.
Once we were certain the nurse had distanced herself, I promptly urged
Harlan, “Let’s proceed without delay. If the nurse returns with the key to unlock the door, I won’t have the chance to leave!”
Harlan had no recourse but to acquiesce and comply with my instructions.
“Now, it appears to have been the correct decision to withhold from you the fact that Caleb approached me. Your palpable excitement is detrimental to your recovery. It is far from beneficial,” Harlan said with a sense of helplessness evident in his voice.
“You cannot keep such information hidden from me indefinitely. Even if you choose not to disclose it, I will eventually become aware of it, one way or another.”
Harlan rolled his eyes and guided me out of the hospital through the window.
Upon our departure from the hospital, Harlan brought me to the safe house and sought the assistance of Melany to conduct another evaluation of my condition.
Upon receiving the results, Melany exclaimed, “You have made a remarkable recovery. Everything appears to be in order. The attending doctor must have been overly cautious in recommending such a prolonged stay.”
