Chapter 83
“We?” Juan chuckled mockingly. “Do you mean Marion and you?”
Debra frowned.
Juan approached her, his steps carrying an oppressive bura. “Last time at the hotel, were you with Marion and Randy? Was Erica just covering for you? What exactly is your relationship with Marion? How far has it progressed?”
He seized her wrist, his eyes boring into her. Debra instinctively shook his hand off. “Enough! I have no idea what you’re talking about!”
Juan looked at his hand that had been shaken off, saying, “Pray that Shelia’s face can be restored.
Otherwise, don’t blame me for taking action against them.”
A scream suddenly erupted from inside Shelia’s ward.
Almost instinctively, Juan pushed the door open and saw Shelia smashing a glass. By the time Debra entered, Shelia had already grabbed Juan’s arm, leaning into his embrace. “Am I disfigured? My face is ruined.”
“Alright, calm down. The doctor said you need to stabilize your emotions, or the freshly stitched wounds might reopen,” Juan gently reassured her.
Shelia’s forehead and arms were scarred. When she looked up at Debra, her eyes burned with resentment. Pointing at Debra, she accused, “I didn’t offend you. Why did you do this to me? You were behind this.”
Debra silently watched Shelia’s outburst.
Initially thinking it was just an accident, Debra now felt there might be more to it.
She held Shelia’s hand, soothingly saying, “Shelia, calm down. Let me handle this. Focus on recovering.”
“Juan, I just wanted to apologize to Miss Mathis. I don’t know when I offended Debra. She and Erica humiliated me multiple times. I really don’t know what I did wrong. If I’m disfigured, I don’t want to live anymore.”
Her tear–streaked face pained Juan. He turned to look at Debra with disgust, just like in her previous life.” Get out! Don’t let me see you again!”
Joe stepped forward, advising, “Madam, it’s better to leave for now.”
Glancing at Shelia one last time, Debra saw a triumphant smile on her face as she nestled in Juan’s arms.
This smile carried a challenge for her.
Debra sneered and left the ward.
Joe followed behind Debra, saying, “Mr. Nichols is just in a momentary fit of anger. Please don’t take it to
heart.”
