“When you were injected with the antidote, she also suffered. You’re strong, so you were able to recover quickly.
She, on the other hand, hasn’t. She wasn’t in good health in the first place. After having to endure so much pain, she became even weaker.”
I was so shocked that I couldn’t move a muscle.
I always assumed that Debra marked me after my body was purged of the poison. Little did I know that she had actually marked me to save me.
As Carlos spoke of Debra, he showed a look of sincere awe and admiration. “Caleb, you came so close to dying. Neither Melany nor
Brian could decide whether to inject you with the antidote or not. I was so anxious that I almost beat them up. It was Debra who solved the problem. She said that she’d stay with you if you could survive. And if you didn’t, she vowed to take your body back to the Thorn Edge Pack and undergo a trial. She refused to blame anyone else but herself. When she made the decision for you, she was so determined-much more resolute than any man I’ve met _
Gradually, his voice trailed off in my ears. I couldn’t hear him anymore, too consumed with regret for what I had done today.

Debra had endured so much pain for me, but she didn’t tell me about it.
But what about me? What had I done for her?
Regret overwhelmed my heart.
“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have aggravated her today. I just wanted to spend time with my daughter-that’s why I took Elena back to the hotel. I should’ve talked with Debra so that she wouldn’t have to worry about anything!”
“So that’s why she kicked you out,” Carlos mused. “Caleb, Debra’s a tough woman. She’s not like any of the women you’ve been with before. I doubt you can just win her heart so easily.“
Debra’s POV:
I didn’t want to stay in the hotel much longer, so at the crack of dawn, I took Elena back to my place.
I had just put my bag down when Harlan called me.
“Debra, did Zoe make things difficult for you yesterday?” he asked with concern.
“Don’t worry,” I replied calmly. “She was just a little angry because we lied to her, but she didn’t do anything excessive.”
“Okay, that’s good.” Harlan let out a sigh of relief.
“How’s everything going with you, Harlan? Is Gale getting any better?”
“Fortunately, her Life is out of danger for now. The doctor said that she should be able to recover, but she’s still extremely weak right now, and she hasn’t woken up yet. She needs to rest some more.”
Though I felt somewhat relieved, I still warned Harlan seriously. “You have to keep an eye on Gale at all times, Harlan. Only assign people you trust to watch over her. Don’t give our enemies a chance to do something.”
“Yeah, I know.” Harlan waved his hand confidently. “Don’t worry. I’ve arranged everything. There will be no more accidents
Although Harlan was usually rash and impulsive, he was reliable when it came to critical moments like this. I didn’t doubt his capabilities in the slightest.
“The pack will be fine. ALL we have to do is wait for her to wake up.
Truth be told, I’m more worried about you.” Speaking of this, Harlan ran his fingers through his cropped hair irritably.𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮
