[Chapter 77]

As soon as Rita left, Debbie threw herself at Alex and hugged him tightly, sobbing.

When Melissa and the other girls had been beating her, Debbie had felt completely alone. Now that she was in Alex's arms, she felt warm and safe.

"Why do they say such awful things about my mother?" she asked. "I know how hard my mom's life is. She works hard every day. And whenever I was sick, she would get up really early and go out to get medicine for me. She never complains. I don't care if they make fun of me or hit me, but why do they have to insult my mother?" When she remembered the look on Melissa's face when she had insulted Debbie's mother, Debbie couldn't control her emotions. Her voice broke, and she stomped on the ground, her whole body shaking.

"It's okay, Debbie," Alex said. Seeing her like this, he grew even more worried. He hated the people who had hurt her so badly. He gently patted her back to calm her down as quickly as possible.

"Don't worry," he assured her. "If anyone hurts you, I'll make sure they pay for it. I will always be by your side to protect you. How are you feeling now? Any better?" As he comforted her, she finally calmed down.

"Who beat you up?" Alex asked, gently wiping away her tears. "Tell me, and I'll deal with it." His eyes held a trace of viciousness.

"It was three of my bandmates," Debbie answered, speaking softly. She was no longer as upset as before. "Just forget about it. If they try this again, then you can do something."

Debbie didn't want to cause trouble with Melissa and the other girls. After all, they were in a band together, and they would have to get along.

"But Debbie—" Alex wanted to give those girls a good beating.

"No. Listen to me," she said gently, looking at him. "I'll talk to them. And if they attack me again, then I'll let you beat them up for me."

He frowned. Although he didn't want to let this go, he had to listen to her.

"Will you come with me to the Azalea Guest House to see my mom?" she asked. More than anything, she just wanted to see her mother. Even just sitting quietly beside her would make Debbie feel better.

"Okay." Alex was deeply moved. He lightly touched her face and smiled. "Before you go and see your mom, maybe you should wash your face."

Debbie took a quick shower and then they left to visit her mother. Alex held her hand as they walked.

It was 9 pm, and the streets were brightly lit, with many people walking on both sides of the road, enjoying the cool air as they strolled under the trees.

As Alex and Debbie walked down the steps of the building, Alex's cell phone rang. It was Sam Woodsworth. Alex frowned slightly, thinking that he must have been invited to a party again.

"Mr. Ambrose," Sam's panicked voice came through the phone. "There seems to be a serious problem with Mrs. Stonehill. She's been taken to the New York City General Hospital. Do you want to come and see her?"

On hearing this, Alex was stunned. "Something happened to Carla?" he asked. "What's going on?" He put the phone on speaker so that Debbie could hear properly.

"What happened to my mother?" Debbie asked anxiously, her chest growing tight with worry.

"I sent someone to accompany Mrs. Stonehill on a tour of New York City," Sam told them. "Everything was fine until an hour ago when they were out eating. Mrs. Stonehill fainted after complaining about being in pain, and she was taken to the hospital emergency room. She's now in intensive care."
