Her legs shook, and finally she collapsed into Lucinda's arms.

Lucinda caught her, and Sasha ran over to lend a helping hand. Together they got her back to her feet.

Debbie didn't know how she managed to walk to the ICU. When she got there, many people were already outside the ward, forming a crowd and blocking the door.

Damon, Carlos' assistants, and some executives in Carlos’ company were already there.

The Hilton family was still in New York. Or at least, they hadn't arrived yet.

When the people at the door saw Debbie, they all greeted her.

"Hi Mrs.

Hilton, how're you holding up?"

“Hello, Mrs. Hilton."

Debbie nodded to them numbly.

She walked through silently to the ICU and looked inside through the glass. It was like she was in a dream, and all of this wasn't real.

Earlier, her life had been so perfect, but now everything she cared about was being robbed from her.

The young woman regarded the figure lying there. The man, who had been so vigorous and confident, now Lay there motionless, covered with tubes and hooked up to machines. A dreadful sight to Debbie.

Unbidden, tears blinded her vision. The grief was overwhelming. She shut her eyes and covered her mouth, trying not to cry out loud.

“Be strong," Lucinda said to her.

“Mothers need to be strong for their babies. And you're a mom, not a little girl. You need to believe he'll be okay.

“ ‘Yes, I'm a mom now. I can't be weak. I must protect my baby.

Come on, old man. Pull through. For our baby, okay?"

But as soon as the thought that Carlos was still in critical condition came to her mind, the floodgates were opened again

She began to wail. The thought that Carlos might not be there anymore was too much to bear.

Everyone there came over to comfort her. Damon scratched his hair and sighed.

"Debbie, right now, taking care of yourself is the number one priority.”

Debbie cried for a long time. Then she took the tissue Lucinda handed her to wipe her eyes.

After straightening her clothes, she took a deep breath and looked at the executives with swollen eyes.

“Thank you for visiting Carlos. He'll be fine. I know you're all really busy, and I think he'd like to wake up to a well-run company. So maybe go back to the office and work hard for him."
