Chapter 301 It's Up To You Now

"What do I want?" Debbie sneered. "If you keep protecting Megan, I'll abort your son." After saying that, she hung up and turned off her phone. There was a certain finality to it, as she held the power button down, saw the option to either restart or shut the phone down, and opted for the latter.

Carlos was frightened by her threat. He called her several times, but to no avail. Each time it went to voicemail. He got tired of hearing the robotic voice, so he called Emmett. "Find Debbie! She just left my office. By now, she may be on her way to the hospital where your girlfriend is!"

"Yes, Mr. Huo," Emmett answered despite his confusion. 'Find Debbie? Hospital?' he thought.

Carlos got in the driver's seat of his own car and started the engine. He headed for the hospital where Kasie was staying as a patient.

More than ten minutes later, his phone rang. It was Emmett, who panted, "Mr. Huo... bad news... Mrs. Huo asked a doctor to reserve an operating room!"

While speaking, he scampered up the stairs to the floor where the operating rooms were located. "She's in the operating room now!" he added.

Carlos closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he said in an icy tone, "Stop them at any cost. If something happens to my wife and son, no one in the hospital will live to see another day!"

Then he sped up and drove to the hospital at top speed. Barely missing some cars as he maneuvered through the streets, and hitting the street lights just right.

Sensing something was off, Emmett immediately contacted the director of the hospital. He was going to convince him to stop Debbie from aborting the baby.

Debbie, on the other hand, lay on the operating table, staring at the ceiling. The attending doctor, who had been forced to do this, hesitated and asked, "Mrs. Huo, does Mr. Huo know about this?" The doctor felt more than a little scared.

'The baby in Mrs. Huo's belly is a member of the Huo family. What if Mr. Huo knows nothing about the abortion? I can't take the consequences!' she thought.

Debbie stroked her flat belly and told her in a soft voice, "Doctor, don't worry. I won't abort my baby. I'm just doing this to teach someone a lesson." There was no way she'd go through with this.

She was just trying to frighten him and th

d it would be Megan.

But he needed the green light, and Carlos had just given him free reign. He wouldn't do a thing without his boss's say-so, especially since Carlos used to dote on Megan. Now, Emmett heaved a long sigh of relief. "Yes, Mr. Huo," he answered in a grateful voice.

Debbie was also happy about Carlos' decision. She cradled his neck and gave him a kiss on his cheek. 'He loves me more than Megan, ' she thought.

Carlos sighed in defeat. Debbie knew his sweet spots, and knew just what to do to make him give in.

In the elevator, Carlos cornered Debbie. Ignoring another couple's curious eyes, he asked her, "Why didn't you ask me to go to the doctor with you?"

He didn't understand why she had gone to the hospital alone before coming to see him.

Debbie reached out and touched his chest. In a light voice, she said, "What if I wasn't pregnant? I didn't want to disappoint you."

Carlos smiled and kissed her on the forehead. She was devoted to him, and he to her.

"Hey, I've been in England for three months. Aren't you afraid the baby's not yours?" Debbie asked in a whisper as she stood on tiptoe.

His grip on her waist became tighter. Debbie felt she was almost lifted in the air.

"That had better be a joke!"

Debbie snorted, "Actually, he's not yours." She said that to piss him off.

"Then whose is he?" His tone was tinged with menace.

"He's... a handsome guy's." 'Carlos is a handsome guy, ' she thought. 'Come on, get the hint.'

"What's his name?" he asked.
