When we got to the hospital and they closed the emergency room doors, I suddenly snapped back to reality.

Seeing the blood on my hands, a terrible feeling washed over me, getting stronger by the second.

I was so scared that I sprinted to the emergency room door and began knocking frantically.

I had to see Caleb.

I couldn’t bear the thought of him being alone if something were to happen.

Maybe because I was really emotional, a nurse came over quickly and asked, “Who are you? This is a hospital.

Please keep it down.

It was then that I remembered the hospital rules.

I paused and faced the nurse, pleading, “I need to go in.

The man in there is my husband.

Please, I just need to see him.

Tears streamed down my face once more.

It felt like in just a few moments, I had cried enough tears to last a lifetime.

The nurse sighed and said, “We understand, but we can’t allow anyone else into the emergency room.

You should try to calm down.

Those words hit me like a punch to the gut.

I slumped wearily against the door, tears still flowing.

The nurse grabbed my arm, trying to move me.

She warned, “You can’t lean on the door.

If it opens from inside, you might fall.

I knew she was looking out for me, but I couldn’t bear to leave.

I just wanted to be near Caleb.

My tears were too much for me to say anything.

Maybe because we were all women, the nurse seemed to grasp what I was feeling.

She didn’t push me to leave.

Instead, she stayed by my side to keep an eye on me.

Debra’s POV:

Soon, Andrew arrived flanked by several bodyguards, Nora trailing behind them.

He hurried over, his face etched with concern.

“How are you? Are you okay?”

I was visibly shaken, and my resentment towards Andrew deepened.

I blamed him for Caleb’s dire situation in the emergency room.

I chose not to respond, ignoring him completely as if I hadn’t heard his question.

Andrew caught on to my cold demeanor.

He hung his head and offered an apology.

“I’m sorry.

Recently, I heard about a thief mimicking others to commit crimes.

I mistakenly thought Caleb was the thief, which led me to confront him…”

His explanation seemed far-fetched to me.

What thief would go to the lengths of mimicking someone so perfectly? I couldn’t swallow that story.

I was convinced Andrew knew Caleb had been coming to see me and was at the manor.

It had to be why he’d instructed his bodyguards to target Caleb.

I even witnessed Andrew’s attempt on Caleb’s life when I arrived.

I always saw Andrew as a decent man and considered him a friend.

I hadn’t expected him to stoop to such darkness.
