“I think it’s fine,” Debra said. “I don’t believe he’d do anything to Marion.”
It was better to have Drake pay the bills than stay in the hospital.
She turned to the bodyguard and said, “Okay. Tell your boss to send a car to pick us up.”
“The car’s already waiting outside,” replied the man. “He had prepared it, knowing you’d agree.”
“How thoughtful he is!”
“Yeah.”
Drake had suffered too many losses when dealing with Debra. He had drawn lessons from those failures.
Debra helped Marion out of bed. The moment they stepped out of the room, Drake’s subordinates hurried over to assist.
They smiled flatteringly at Debra and said, “We’re here to help.”
But Marion shot them a cold look before they could come near him. They smiled awkwardly and quickly pulled their hands back.

“Wait. Why do we need two rooms?” Debra asked.
“Well, it was Mr. Lowe’s arrangement. He said Mr. Houston was injured and needed rest. It’s not suitable for you to share a room,” Lara explained.
“It’s fine. We prefer to share the room,” Debra said, turning to Marion. “Right, honey?”
