Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 314

Debbie grew anxious. She was eager to throw herself into Carlos' arms. But no matter how fast she ran, she couldn't get the slightest bit closer to him. "Mr. Handsome... Old Man... Please... Don't go!" she screamed.

Her hysterical shrieks jarred Sasha awake. Sasha, freaked out, quickly turned on the bedside lamp.

In the light of the lamp, gloom all but banished, she saw Debbie sitting on the bed with outstretched arms. She looked like she was reaching for something she couldn't hold.

Sasha hugged Debbie and asked with concern, "You okay, Debbie? Debbie..."

Debbie broke free from Sasha's embrace. "I saw Carlos. He's going to pick me up."

Sasha was taken aback, heart racing fast. She looked around her bedroom in fear but found nothing suspicious. No ghosts. "Don't scare me. Was it a dream?"

'Dream...' The happy smile froze on Debbie's face. 'Dream...It was just a dream. Carlos isn't here...'

Snapping back to cruel reality, Debbie buried her face in her hands and curled up in a fetal position, weeping. Engulfed by sorrow, she felt like she was falling into an abyss of despair.

'Honey, I miss you...I miss you so much...'

In just a few days, sweeping change had come to Y City, especially when it came to ZL Group. What happened to Carlos was still a mystery to everyone. No one knew the whole story. Shortly, James was elected by the board members to be their new CEO.

Miranda finally contacted Debbie, but she only replied via Facebook Messenger. "I'm in New York now. James is handling Carlos' affairs. He wouldn't let anyone else do it. The branch company in New York is having problems, so I came back to take care of it," she wrote.

"I told you not to be nice to the Huos, especially James and Lewis! They're all assholes! But you didn't listen. You even begged Carlos to go easy on them. Too late now. The car accident is still being looked into. I'll update you when I can," she added.

Debbie texted back while crying. "I'm sorry... It's my fault. I can't do anything." 'I lost Carlos, and I couldn't protect our marriage...' she thought remorsefully.

She sent another message. "I'm sorry. Carlos died saving me. I'm really sorry..."

Miranda didn't text back. Her eyes were filled with tears—Debbie's sorrow was palpable.

At the Mu family's residence

After experiencing enough grief to last a lifetime, Debbie became noticeably thinner—20 lbs thinner. Seeing Debbie so skinny worried Lucinda. She tried to convince the young woman to eat. "You're pregnant. Your baby needs you to eat. Please!"

But Debbie's head was in the clouds. It took her more than a few seconds to register that Lucinda said anything. She grinned and said calmly, "Don't worry about that. I got rid of it..."

She had lied to so many people over the past couple days that she almost believed it herself.

Unconvinced, Lucinda put on a stern face. "Oh come on! You've been with me the whole time! When would you even have time to do that?"

"Before I got here. It was in all the papers. Don't you read the news? It's true... Sorry I lied!" Debbie shifted from tears into hysterical laughter, which startled Lucinda.

Without a second thought, she quickly placed the chicken soup on the table and sat next to Debbie. "Hey, I think we need to go to the hospital. I don't think you're okay."

Debbie held her hand to stop her. "No. I'm fine. Is that Jared? Let him in."

Jared came calling several times trying to find Debbie. Several times last night, in fact. But Debbie had kept locking herself in Sasha's bedroom and refused to see anyone.

Sasha led Jared to her bedroom and then left, giving these two old friends their privacy.
