Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 279

"Ugh, Jared, you are making me sick," Debbie complained. Kristina and Kasie burst into laughter. Kristina blew on her soup and took a sip.

Debbie took off her apron and told her friends apologetically, "Sorry, guys. I'd love to hang out with you, but Carlos is still in the hospital. I need to bring him this soup. You guys leave after finishing the soup. I'll treat you to dinner some other day. Deal?"

Carlos' wound had still been bleeding when she had left the hospital. She was really worried about him.

Kasie, Kristina and Jared exchanged knowing looks. Recalling what Carlos had told them, Jared suggested, "Tomboy, don't worry about Mr. Huo. My brother is there, and the nurses will take good care of him. Have some fun with us tonight, and go to the hospital tomorrow. I'll drive you there myself, okay?"

Kicked by Jared under the table, Kasie echoed, "He's right. Tomboy, we've missed you a lot. Come with us, please! We've already booked a private booth."

Kristina ate her soup silently. After a while, she said in a low voice, "Dixon has been gone for more than a month. We've never been separated for so long. Debbie, keep us company tonight."

Debbie felt weird. It seemed like people around her all wanted to drag her away from the hospital and keep her at the manor.

'Something is off. Or is it just my imagination?' she thought. But she shook off her strange thoughts and said, "I'm really sorry, guys. Carlos' shoulder was still bleeding when I left the hospital. I can't leave him behind and have fun with you. I need to bring him some food. Guys, you're my best friends, and I know that you won't blame me for not keeping you company tonight. When his situation is stable, I'll treat you to a sumptuous meal."

Not daring to look Debbie in the eye, Jared continued to persuade her into staying. "Damon just called me. He said Mr. Huo was all right. Tomboy, don't worry too much."

Jared was confused about the whole situation too. He remembered Carlos telling him over the phone, "Make Debbie stay at the manor, or any other place. Stop her from coming to the hospital at all costs."

Jared's words made Debbie even more confused. 'Why do they keep trying to make me stay away from the hospital?' she wondered. "How about this? I'll take the soup to the hospital and then meet you guys at the private booth?" Debbie offered.

"Why bother? You have so many housemaids. Why not ask one of them to send the soup to him?" Jared blurted out. He lowered his head, fearing that Debbie would see through him.

Debbie was too overwhelmed by Carlos's situation to notice Jared's guilty face. She shook her head and said, "I want to watch him eat the soup with my own eyes. I'd been practicing to make this soup under Ethel's guidance for a whole month in order to cook it for him, and I'd been eating it for a whole month."

She was really sick of the taste now. All she wanted was to cook for Carlos.

Her friends had run out of excuses.

Left with no choice, they had to leave the manor before she did.

As soon as they drove off, Jared called Damon. To his disappointment, his phone was off. He summoned up the courage to call Carlos, but his phone had been switched off too.

Looking at his phone screen, Jared murmured, "Their phones are both off. This is really weird."

"Er... I have Mr. Lu's phone number. Should we call him? Mr. Huo's wounded. I believe Mr. Lu will be visiting him." Kasie unlocked her phone to look for Curtis' phone number.

Jared shook his head. "Even if he visited Mr. Huo, he wouldn't stay there all day. I'll call Damon's wife."

Adriana's phone was connected after a few rings, but she didn't know where Damon was either.

Meanwhile, Kasie called her boyfriend, but Emmett had been away on official business in the past few days and knew nothing about Carlos' whereabouts.

They could only drive as fast as possible so that they could arrive at the hospital ahead of Debbie and tell Carlos that they had failed to keep her at the manor.

Jared sped all the way and successfully reached the hospital before Debbie did. But to their surprise, they were welcomed by an empty ward.

The nurse who was responsible for taking care of Carlos told them that he had left the hospital for some private reason.

They knew that Megan was admitted in the hospital because Debbie had wounded her.
