Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 396

Chapter 396 Residual Effects 

She still felt it was unreal before she slept. “Pop, am I dreaming?” 

Paul stroked her head. “Don’t worry. Go to sleep. I’ll be around tomorrow.” 

Perhaps it was because she slept by her dad’s side. It was rare for Josie to sleep so soundly. 

When she awoke the next day, she saw her dad leaning against his bed. He was awake. She smiled and said, “Good morning, Pop.” 

Paul also smiled. Such ordinary days were rare for the father and daughter. 

Matthew came to inspect Paul with the nurses and was satisfied with Paul’s signs. Matthew told Josic, “It’s a miracle that Mr. Warren woke up. He just needs to recuperate and rest well after this. Everything is fine.” 

Josie was overjoyed, and she thanked him sincerely. “Matt, thank you for the past four years.” 

After the two had talked things through the last time, Matthew could only restrain his adoration for her. He forced a smile. “It’s what I should do. I hope that you won’t feel burdened from today onward.” 

Josie pulled him to one side and asked softly, “Aren’t there any residual effects after he was in a coma for four years?” 

Matthew was silent as he pondered. He was honest. “His memory might be poor.” 

“Is it severe? He looks good now.” 

“Not very. Mr. Warren might not remember very well memories from long ago. You can help to jog his memory.” Matthew explained. 

Josie didn’t quite understand but said, “I’ll see what I can do.” 

After Paul awoke, it alerted many of his old friends. They immediately came with gifts, and Josie was pushed to the corner as she watched them in exasperation. 

She thought about it and called the man. The call went through, but no one answered. 

Josie called again, and it was answered this time. “Dex. 

I’m Summer.” The other party was honest. “Dex and I are in a meeting, and his cell phone is with me. Why are you looking for him?” 

With the tone Summer used, it was as though she was Dexter’s wife. 

It was an honest explanation, but Josie could feel their closeness upon closer inspection. Summer must have been someone important to keep Dexter’s personal cell phone. 

Josie choked. “I understand. May I trouble you to pass a message to him to call me? I have something urgent to tell him.“ 

She was just about to hang up when Summer asked, “What is it?” 

“… Family matters.” 

“Oh. Just remember what I said.” After that, Summer hung up. 

Josie leaned against the wall and watched Paul surrounded by people. For a moment, she had complex feelings. 

She was in the hospital the whole day today. Wyatt called her and thanked her for conquering Mark. “If he’s willing to invest money, funding won’t be too big a problem once the project is in operation.” 

Josie was a lot more relieved. “That’s good. By the way, can you help me with something. Wyatt?” 

“Of course. Tell me.”
