Erica''s quick arrival surprised Debra.


    "What happened? How did you get hurt all over?" Erica was visibly concerned.


    "It was just a minor car ident, nothing serious," Debra said, extending her hand. "See, I can still move."


    "A minor ident?" Erica didn''t believe it.


    From Debra''s injuries, she could imagine what had happenedst night.


    "I wondered why I didn''t hear from you all night. What is Juan? What kind of husband is he?"


    Debra''s eyes dimmed at the mention of Juan.


    "He''s in the next room," she replied.


    Before Debra could stop her, Erica stood up and headed outside the ward. Just as she stepped out, she spotted Sheliaing out of the next room.


    Not knowing Erica was there, Shelia was speaking with Joe.


    "It''s you again," Erica snapped.


    Shelia frowned, not afraid of Erica anymore. She didn''t believe Erical would dare do anything in the hospital.


    Joe intervened quickly. "Miss Miles, let me take you back."


    "Thank you, Joe," Shelia replied gratefully.


    Though Joe disliked Shelia, he didn''t want a scene in the hospital.


    As Shelia passed by Erica, she smirked triumphantly.


    Erica was infuriated. "Stop!"


    She halted, turned back to Erica, and said, "Miss Mathis, I know you dislike me, but we''re at a hospital. Patients need rest. You wouldn''t want Debra to worry, right?"


    Erica was furious, but she couldn''t act against Shelia. Shelia smiled faintly, "That''s considerate of you. I''ll go now."


    "This woman is shameless. Does she think she is Juan''s wife?" Erica muttered angrily.


    "Take it easy," Debra said, seeing Erica''s flushed face. "Juan saved my life. For his sake, don''t make things difficult for Shelia."


    "He saved you? How do you know it wasn''t Shelia who caused your ident?" Erica suspected.


    "It wasn''t her."


    "Then who was it?" Erica was puzzled.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    Debra didn''t know where to start, and she didn''t want Erica to get involved in her family affairs.


    Aware of Debra''s intentions, Erica squeezed her hand. "Anyway, you should focus on recovering now."


    "Keep it between us for now."


    "Why?" Erica asked tentatively, "Are you afraid Marion will find out?"


    "Yeah."


    Debra found it strange herself, feeling afraid that Marion would know.


    She didn''t want him to worry, nor did she want him to uncover that Stanley might be involved.


    "Alright, since you don''t want them to know, I won''t say anything."


    Erica understood her hesitation. She examined Debra and said, "But with your current condition, keeping quiet might not be so easy."


    This car ident had left Debra badly injured all over


    Thepany had just started, and Debra couldn''t disappear for over a month.


    Erica fretted, "Beforeing to the hospital, I told Randy."


    Debra was lost for words. ''If Randy knew, then Marion...''
