Chapter 842 Grandpa Is Ill
As she had a history of getting hurt easily, Dexter had made a point to have first aid kits placed in every car in his garage.
At the thought of what happened the previous day, Josie could not help but feel a sense of irony.
She withdraws her hand abruptly and said, “You should save your affection for Liana. She would be delighted to have it. It would be a waste to shower it on a heartless person like me!”
With the sunlight casting a glow on her face, one could clearly see the anger that was shimmering in her
eyes.
Even though Dexter was usually susceptible to her tactics, his current expression was unreadable. He gripped her chin, forcing her to look at him.
“Josie, do you really think your temper is worth a fortune?”
Although it was nothing valuable, it was enough to soften his heart.
Josie took a deep breath and was about to step out of the car when the man yanked her back in. After slamming the car door shut, Dexter pinned her against the seat. With an ominous shadow looming over her, Josie exclaimed in fright, “We’re in the car!”
“Is my neck.
ex-wife jealous?” Dexter snorted coldly, tracing his fingers across her smooth cheek down to her
Josie was trying her best to resist the itch as she replied, “Why would I be jealous?”
“Liana.”
“The two of you are a match made in heaven. When you get married, I’ll definitely prepare a grand gift for you.”
Feeling amused, she could not help but laugh out loud. However as she laughed, sorrow and bitterness. gradually filled her eyes.
Dexter slightly furrowed his brows before reaching out and lightly slapping her with the back of his hand. Instead of a forceful hit, it seemed more like a flirtatious gesture.
Josie raised an eyebrow and said, “Isn’t that the case? Do you dare to say that you will never marry her?”
With an unfathomable expression on his face, the man sat up straight. He pulled out a cigarette and started smoking, savoring each puff.
Also sitting upright, Josie said, “You can’t guarantee that.”
She had to admit that she did feel a pang of pain in her heart as she looked at his side profile.
“The business arena is like a battlefield. It is not as simple as you think,” Dexter said as he exhaled a puff of smoke, his gaze softening.
Just then, a car was seen approaching from the front. Looking at the car, he said, “Follow Larry.”
“I’m not interested in your affairs, I can leave on my own.” Josie composed herself. She was feeling almost suffocated due to the multitude of secrets she had been harboring recently.

Dexter reached out to open the door. With one leg out of the car, he said before leaving, “Grandpa is in the hospital. If you still care about him, you should go see him.”
After saying that, he shut the door and strode toward Larry’s car which was parked ahead, his figure exuding a cold aura.
Without looking back, he got into the car and drove off, disappearing from sight.
Since she refused to leave, he would leave instead.
Moses quickly got into the car. Turning to look at Josic in the back seat, he said cautiously, “Josie…”
Snapping back to her senses, Josie asked anxiously, “What happened to Grandpa?”
Aware of the situation, Moses replied, “He had suddenly fainted and has remained unconscious in the hospital. It has been over a month now.”
Upon hearing that, Josie became even more worried. Disregarding Dexter’s words, she said, “Why didn’t anyone tell me?”
“Mr. Russell didn’t allow—”
“Take me to the hospital.”
Josie could feel her heart beating faster and faster throughout the journey. After having a close shave witht death, the old man was already not in the pink of health when she met him previously. As such, she was extremely worried after hearing that he had fainted again.
Among everyone, Henry was probably the only one who had never exploited her for any personal gain.
The nature of their relationship had long evolved. To her, he was no longer just Dexter’s grandfather, but he had become her grandfather as well.
As Moses drove at top speed, it only took them a while to arrive at the hospital. The moment the car came to a stop, Josie got out. Just as she was entering the elevator, her phone suddenly vibrated; someone had sent a message.
She froze when she glanced down and saw the text: The results are out. Where are you?
