“What about your family?” I still couldn’t believe it.
Janiya suddenly fell silent, tears welling up in her eyes.
I shook my head and said loudly, “Fortunately, Caleb’s fine. Otherwise,
you would’ve destroyed the Thorn Edge Pack. And Roz Town would have also been in great danger.”
“What the fuck are you talking about? I poisoned him!” Janiya grew worked up again.
“Debra, you were there! You saw it with your own eyes
Why the fuck are you lying?”
Adam looked at us expressionlessly and said, “One of you says Caleb’s dying, while the other claims he’s fine. Now the question is, which one of you is lying?”
Then, a thought occurred to him and his expression darkened. “I know there’s a traitor among the people around me. I suspect that it’s one of you two.”
“Traitor?” Janiya asked in shock. All of a sudden, she seemed to wake up from a dream and locked eyes with me.
“It must be Debra! She’s been hiding—”
However, before she could finish her sentence, the door to the office was suddenly kicked open.
Then, a tall and strong figure strode in.
It was Caleb!
Debra’s POV:
“Are you okay, Debra?”
Without so much as glancing at Janiya, Caleb walked to me quickly.
“Why did you leave the hospital before recovering? I was worried sick!”
As he spoke, Caleb rubbed the tip of my nose dotingly.
At first, I was stunned, but I soon realized that he was putting on a show. So I played along.
“I wanted to get some more rest, but Adam asked to see me in the office. I couldn’t say no to my boss.”
“I see.”
Feigning a concerned Look, Caleb pressed the back of his hand against my forehead to check my temperature.
After a while, he nodded and said gently, “At least your fever has gone down. It seems I worried about you for nothing.”
This man could have a career as an actor. If I hadn’t picked him up from the hospital yesterday, I would’ve believed his little act.
