“I'LL keep that in mind. Thank you Uncle Wade, Aunt Miranda.“

The room was quiet for a while. Then Megan said in a depressed voice,

“Uncle Carlos, thank you for saving me. I'm really sorry. It was because of me that you and Uncle Wesley were wounded."

Valerie sighed again with a sad Look in her eyes.

Miranda and Wade Looked unhappy when they heard Megan's words. Carlos said flatly, "Don't be so hard on yourself. The matter had to be dealt with."

Megan gnawed at her lower lip. Her eyes were brimming with tears.

“Thank you, Uncle Carlos. Since Aunt Debbie isn't around, I'll take care of you," she said.

“Debbie isn't around? What does that mean?’ the others wondered.

Valerie's brows knitted. She looked at Carlos and demanded, "I didn't notice that until Megan brought it up. Where is your so-called wife?

Why isn't she here to take care of you?"

The blame in her tone wasn't anything Carlos desired. The look in his eyes turned icy cold. He responded indifferently, “I asked her to go back to England. She had been away from school for several days to look after me. She is falling behind in her class. Now that I'm fine, I asked her to go back."

However, Valerie wasn't happy with his explanation.

"Fine? Your wounds haven't healed yet. And you have to stay in bed to rest. You are not fit enough to move around. How could she leave you in this state? That heartless woman!"

Emmett couldn't stand to hear her talk about Debbie Like that. He explained, "Mrs. Valerie, that's not true. Carlos was injured even before this incident, and Debbie had been taking care of him all that while. And she never left the hospital until Carlos was brought into the VVIP ward. She stayed outside without eating or sleeping."

Valerie snorted and pounded her cane on the floor.

"Don't try to make her look good. The truth is that Carlos needs her and she is away in

England. What kind of wife—"

“Grandma!" Carlos interrupted her.

“That is between me and Debbie. Please stay out of it. All you need to know is that Debbie is always good to me. So, stop blaming her. There are many people here who can look after me. She doesn't have to stay by my side just to look Like the good wife you want her to be. I know how much she loves me. I have made her unhappy again and again. Right now, all I want is to recover soon and fly to England to apologize to her."

His voice was stern and firm. The elders in the room were astonished.

They couldn't believe that the ever-proud Carlos would go all the way to another country just to apologize to a woman

Once again, the way Carlos cared about Debbie surprised them.

"Nonsense!" Valerie couldn't allow her outstanding, distinguished grandson to grovel before a woman.

She and Carlos looked at each other, their gazes sharp and fierce.

"Grandma... Grandpa used to do things to make you happy before he was hospitalized. Have you forgotten? Do you think that was nonsense too?"
