Chapter 176 He Rushed Back
In the blink of an eye, a week had gone by. It was time for Josie to have her plaster cast removed. In the early morning. Marilyn had been busy preparing the necessity and
accompanying Josie to the hospital. Meanwhile, Josie sat at the dining table, absentmindedly picking at her breakfast.
Last night, Dexter messaged her, telling her not to wait as he would pull an all-nighter at an important business function. But now it was morning, and he still hadn’t returned.
Didn’t they agree that he would go with her to the hospital?
“What’s the matter, Jo? You look so down. Is something bothering you?” Marilyn noticed Josie’s expression. She was concerned and quickly sat beside her.
Josie mustered a smile, “Oh, it’s nothing. You’ve been taking care of me all this time. Once I fully recover, you’ll have to return to Russell Mansion. I just feel a bit sad about you leaving
so soon.”
Josie’s words brought a smile to Marilyn’s face.
She let out a doting sigh and gently clasped Josie’s hand, saying, “I like you a lot too. But Old Mr. Russell needs someone to look after him back home. I must return to him after leaving him alone for so long.”

Josie nodded, understanding the responsibility.
“In these past few days. I’ve seen how your relationship with Dex has evolved. He’s not someone who articulates or easily acknowledges his feelings. To be frank, his aloof and distant nature makes it even harder for him to fall in love.” Marilyn said earnestly. Josie muttered in her heart, ‘But he has someone special in his heart, someone he cares deeply about.”
he’ll “But Dex likes you, and that’s the most important thing. Don’t worry, when he likes you, go above and beyond to please you. Even if it means reaching for the impossible. Just trust him, Jo. Although it might be challenging at times, just know that everything will work out. If possible, please bear with his occasional bouts of anger.”
Marilyn’s well-meaning advice stirred a bittersweet feeling in Josie’s heart. She nodded gratefully and said, “Thanks, Marilyn, I will remember that.”
However, a nagging worry lingered in Josie’s mind that she might disappoint Marilyn’s expectations and trust.
Aware that she was running behind schedule for her hospital appointment, Josie grew
ed and decided not to wait any longer Unlock succeeded
Just as they were about to leave the premises, they spotted Dexter’s Porsche approaching from a distance. Marilyn exclaimed, “There! Dex is back!”
Surprised, a flicker of joy illuminated Josie’s eyes as she rushed towards the car and grabbed the door handle. “Dexter!”
Despite the fatigue evident in his furrowed brows, as if he hadn’t slept all night, Dexter’s weariness dissipated when he saw Josie. He beamed and said, “You shouldn’t be running with your injury.”
“Why did you come back so late?” Josie ignored his scrutiny and quizzed him.

“The business negotiation went on throughout the night,”
Josie sniffed, “And you’ve been drinking.”
“Mm. Just a bit.”
She believed him because, given his status, not many people dared to pressure him into drinking. On the contrary, these people should count their blessings that he didn’t chug booze down on them and make them go on a wild bender.
Dexter pushed open the car door and motioned for her to get in, “Come on in. We should head to the hospital now.”

Upon arriving at the hospital, they found a considerable crowd and had to wait in line. Josie held onto Dexter’s hand as they sat in the corridor.
Holding Josie’s appointment card, Dexter had attracted envious glances directed at Josie with his striking good looks.
“Was it the Landon case that kept you in an all-night discussion?” She pried.
With evident fatigue in his eyes that softened his typically imposing demeanor, “You could say that. It’s got something to do with the Ardon family.”
No wonder the discussion lasted all night; it must be related to the political sphere.
Josie felt a tinge of concern.
“Will you be implicated and investigated by the police? These cases aren’t trivial. I’ve heard similar cases where the police would dig through several generations of the family.”
Dexter chuckled at her innocent remark. He reclined, finally able to unwind after a night of
work. “Not at all. They won’t find anything on me. But Arnold will be in deep sh*t for what he’s done.”
To put it bluntly. Josie knew that Dexter wouldn’t let Arnold off the hook for his actions. He would ensure that Arnold faced the consequences of his crimes without suffering any losses to himself.
