True Love Waits novel Chapter 416

'Fallen in love? Seriously? You just met Niles, ' Debbie thought, massaging her aching temples. She murmured to Irene, "Don't fall for someone so easily. Let me tell you this—in a relationship, whoever falls in love first, suffers more."

Irene hadn't dated anyone yet, so she didn't have much experience in love. But she said confidently, "Debbie, you know me. I always get what I want."

Debbie shook her head helplessly and patted Irene's hand. "Focus on your career now, okay? You haven't held a proper concert yet. I know that you are not worried about money, but at least do it to feed your passion."

"Debbie, when will my brother wake up?" Irene quickly changed the topic.

"Hopefully by tonight..." Debbie said with a sigh.

And just as she had predicted, Ivan woke up around seven that night. Irene was playing on her phone and Debbie was sitting in a chair, texting Decker. "Decker Lu, what the hell have you been doing these days? Are you alive or not?" she wrote.

"Debbie..." Ivan called out weakly.

Debbie swiftly looked up to find Ivan awake. She smiled and walked over to his bed. "Ivan, you're finally awake."

Irene put her phone away in a hurry and walked to his bedside too. "Ivan, how are you feeling now? I'll call the doctor."

She pressed the nurse-call button and told the doctor that her brother had woken up. Soon, a doctor and a nurse came in to give Ivan a full check-up. "He's okay now. Just need some good rest to recover."

"Thank you," Debbie said, relieved.

After seeing the doctor and nurse off, she grabbed a cotton bud, dipped it in a glass of water and rubbed it on Ivan's lips to moisten them, just as the doctor had advised.

Seeing how carefully Debbie was looking after her brother, Irene couldn't help but marvel at them, "Deb, you're so good at this. My brother is really lucky to have you as his wife!"

The fake couple exchanged glances with each other, and then burst into a fit of laughter.

Of course, they weren't happily laughing because they were glad to have each other in their life. They just found Irene cute and pure. The girl had no idea that their marriage was a lie.

Misunderstanding their laughter, Irene giggled innocently. She was still thinking how lucky Ivan was.

She even pictured how wonderful it would be if Debbie gave birth to a baby as cute as Piggy.

The next day, when Mason and Mia found out that Ivan had woken up from his coma, they took Kasie along with them to visit him.

When they arrived at the hospital, Debbie grabbed the chance to go back to Champs Bay Apartments. She wanted to take a shower and change into new clothes.

The Zheng family was with Ivan in the ward. "Mr. Wen, thank you so much for saving my daughter. You took a bullet for her. We're forever indebted to you," Mason said as he gripped Ivan's hand tightly in his, tears threatening to come out of his eyes. Kasie was their only child. She had just managed to overcome her grief over Emmett's death.

Laughter had finally returned to their family. If it weren't for Ivan, they might have lost their daughter completely this time. He felt cold just thinking about it.

Ivan curled his pale lips into a thin smile. "Mr. Zheng, you don't have to thank me. I should be apologizing to you. Kasie was kidnapped because of me."
