Observing the situation, Melany let out a sigh.
“Is it truly worth it,
Debra?”
Without a moment of hesitation, I nodded affirmatively, resolute in my decision.
“It will be. I’m sure of it.”
I knew it when Caleb protected me at the critical moment.
Debra’s POV:
Perhaps Melany wasn’t expecting me to be so determined, because she showed a stunned expression.
After a while, she sighed helplessly. “Okay, it’s settled. Brian and I
will prepare to administer the antidote as soon as possible. But to err on the side of caution, we’ll have to prepare for contingencies, too.”
“Okay, good.”
This time, I didn’t say anything more.
After Melany discussed her plan with Brian, they finally decided to inject Caleb with the antidote the following morning. ©
This was a defining moment for me.
If Caleb lived, I’d live.
But if he died, I would also face a death trial.
We had only spent a few months together, but now, we were facing life and death together.
All of a sudden, I seemed to understand why Moon Goddess had designated him as my mate. Maybe it was destiny.
In the dead of night, I slipped into Caleb’s ward alone.
Caleb was lying in bed quietly, his face as pale as the sheets. He looked so fragile and week, and there was no sign of him waking up
I knelt by his bedside and whispered in his ear, “Caleb, let me tell you a secret…”
After taking a deep breath, I plucked up the courage to admit, “Fine.
You’re my mate, okay? Now please wake up!”
However, there was no response. The man barely even stirred.
The old Caleb would’ve hugged and kissed me fiercely as soon as I accepted him as my mate.
