To Henry’s surprise, Dexter remained unfazed, making no further attempts to coax her. However, Henry
discreetly kicked Dexter beneath the table to nudge him into action.
In response, Dexter stood up, his expression a mix of helplessness and impatience. He reached down
and grabbed Josie’s drooping hand, pulling her up. “If you’re not in the mood to eat, don’t force
yourself.”
Dexter firmly grasped her arm and led her away.
Feeling a chill in her hand, Josie turned back to look at Henry, “But Grandpa…”
Henry responded with an affectionate smile, giving his permission, “It’s alright. Just go with Dex.”

rare.opportunity for you to be here…”
“Julie,” Henry interrupted, gesturing for her to join them. “Come on, don’t just stand there. Sit down and
eat with us.”
Julie was pleasantly surprised by the gesture and quickly shook her head, “No, it wouldn’t be
appropriate.”
Henry didn’t press the matter further but instead grinned and looked at her, “I’m glad you know what’s
appropriate and what’s not.”
Julie wasn’t oblivious and immediately grasped the implication, “I’m sorry. Please forgive me for
overstepping my boundaries.”

wound.
Upon returning from the call, Dexter saw Josie nonchalantly closing the ointment tube and placing it on
the table. Taking the initiative, he inquired, “How’s Jesse?”
Leaning against the door frame, he tilted his head to study her. His tone was gentler, “Oh, done with
your little tantrum, huh? You refused to apologize for your mistake, and now you dare to ask.”
Fearlessly meeting his gaze, Josie asserted, “It wasn’t my
fault.”
Dexter raised an eyebrow at her but ultimately said nothing.
Josie had the urge to clarify that it was Jesse who collided with her and that there might be surveillance
footage in the commercial district to prove it. However, the words halted at the tip of her tongue. She
didn’t want to give the impression of what he accused her of-being jealous and disguising her intentions
with a loud voice.
Josie didn’t want things to escalate in that manner.
She stood up, intending to leave, “Tonight, I’ll go back to my original room to sleep.”

sensation crept up her nose, and she wept uncontrollably.
When bedtime arrived, Josie struggled to rise to her feet, using the wall to support to alleviate her legs’
numbness. She made her way toward her original room but unexpectedly came across Henry on her
way out. “Are you okay, Jo?”
To hide her emotions, Josie quickly averted her gaze. She said, “I-I just needed to get something in the
room.”
With his astutenen, Henry saw through her immediately. He encouraged her to return to Dester, “Tell
me what you need, and I’ll get it for you. You should go back and take a theme lex getting late.”
“But Dex is currently using the shower”
Hasn’t he finished and come out already?”
