Randy mudged frica, signaling her to stop talking.
But Debra spoke up, “Yeah, I don’t like staying here.”
in her past life, she had died on the operating table, giving her a deep fear of hospitals.
“Okay.”
Marion got up to leave the ward.
In no time, the discharge procedures were completed. Randy went downstairs to get the car.
After changing her clothes and leaving the ward, she glanced at the room next door, where Juan was. Eventually, she left with Erica.
Outside, Debra saw Joe’s car, with Shelia’s face reflected in the rear
window.
In the evening, Juan woke up to see a blurry figure bustling around him.
“Debra?” His voice was low.
Shelia paused and turned around with a smile.
“Juan, you’re finally awake.” Shelia set down the water and said, “I came right after class to see you. How are you feeling? I’ll go call the doctor.”
Juan was disappointed as he found it was Shelia.
With a hoarse voice, he asked, “Where’s Debra?”
Shelia’s smile froze momentarily, but she soon regained it. “She has already been discharged.”
Juan pressed his lips together, unhappy about the news.

“Get Joe in here.”
Seeing Juan so focused on Debra, Shelia bit her lip and said, “You’re so seriously injured, but Debra hasn’t come to see you even once. You shouldn’t keep thinking about her.”
Juan’s heart sank, and he asked heavily, “She didn’t com to see me
even once?”
“No. She left with Marion in the afternoon. They…” Shelia shook her head, stopping halfway through her speech.
Even though his mind was still clouded, Juan knew what she was implying.
The relationship between Debra and Marion was ambiguous.
Joe pushed open the door and said, “Miss Miles, visiting hours are almost over. You should go back.”
Shelia wanted to stay, but Juan declared, “Go back. It’s late.”
“Okay,” Shelia agreed with reluctance.
After Shelia left, Juan picked up the phone. There wasn’t a single message from Debra.
Even Shelia had come to visit him, yet Debra left without even saying goodbye to him.
