Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1117

After an unspecified amount of time, the housekeeper finished tidying up the room. Paul, completely exhausted, was assisted onto the bed to rest.

By the time Moses returned, two hours had already elapsed. Josie was crouching on the ground, using medicinal liquid to clean Dexter's wounds. However, neither of them spoke, and they wore worried expressions.

Moses introduced, “Mr. Russell, Jeremy Yeatman from the drug rehabilitation center has arrived.”

Jeremy, a dignified middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, glanced at Dexter. “What's the hurry? Your driver drives as if he's piloting an airplane.”

Finally, Dexter lifted his gaze and spoke. “I apologize for the inconvenience, but there's a patient at home who's addicted to a certain drug. I would like you to diagnose what exactly the drug is.”

“Drugs?” Jeremy was quite taken aback.

The housekeeper led him to Paul's room.

Approximately ten minutes later, Josie finished tending to Dexter's wounds, and Jeremy also emerged. “It's not the type of drug commonly found in nightclubs, but rather an anesthetic used in medicine to alleviate pain. If taken excessively, it can be addictive. He's been taking it for about two years, hasn't he?”

With a troubled expression, Josie replied, “Yes.”

“Taking this medication in the short term won't cause any issues, but if consumed over a long period, it becomes difficult to stop. If I may ask, has the patient undergone any brain surgery?”

“He was once involved in a car accident, which left him in a coma for nearly four years.”

“No wonder. The medicine used to treat his condition had a similar medicinal property. It's just that it was replaced with this kind of slow-acting poison that is highly toxic.”

Dexter asked, “Is it safe to discontinue his use of the drug?”

Jeremy replied, “It'll be difficult as the drug has become an integral part of managing his condition. If his medication is discontinued, his illness will flare up.”

Josie closed her eyes, realizing the truth behind Arnold's confidence.
