Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 291

"Dexter, how is Angie?" With a pale face, Zack rushed over from the other end of the corridor so fast that his coat billowed in the wind. He seemed extremely anxious.

Dexter woke up with a start. Staring at Zack's worried face, he was momentarily at a loss for words.

Zack gritted his teeth fiercely. "Logan has to be the one who's behind this—it can only be that bastard! Angie just fired him, and he immediately retaliated. He's utterly heartless and vicious. With the way he hurts people—he deserves to die!"

"Matters like this need to be thoroughly investigated; we can't just spout baseless accusations," Fiona piped up.

Tears welled in Zack's eyes as he punched the air in fury. "Damn it! If I find out who hurt her, I'll make sure they pay with their life!"

"I will look into this." Dexter, who had been silent, finally found his voice. "I'll have someone look into it immediately. Whoever it is, I'll make sure they pay."

Soon, what happened to Angela went viral. Everyone who needed to know her condition—and even those who didn't—rushed over at once.

Natalie and Joseph both came. By that time, Angela had already been transferred from the emergency room to the intensive care unit. As they looked at her pale face in the hospital bed, the two wiped their tears repeatedly.

Finn and Callum also came by. Finn, seething with anger, grabbed Dexter by the collar and punched him twice—so hard that Dexter's lip split open, leaving a gruesome wound.

Finn's uncontrollable fury completely shattered everyone's impression of him as a gentle and refined man.

He demanded, almost desperately, to know why Dexter hadn't taken better care of Angela and how he could let such a terrible thing happen that nearly cost her life.

Dexter was left speechless, silently enduring Finn's cutting, icy words.

"If I'd been the one by her side, I wouldn't have let her get hurt like this," Finn declared. "Dexter, if you're so incompetent, give her back to me."
