Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 294

When Angela heard the news, she couldn't help but worry. Graham Group had only just gotten back on track, and now she was dropping the ball at a critical moment. It was very irresponsible of her.

"Angela, do you have a death wish? You almost lost your life, and you're still thinking about that damn company?" Dexter suddenly snapped at her, as if he could see right through her thoughts.

Ever since she had woken up a day ago, he had seemed annoyed with her. Although he attended to her every need, his words were always sharp.

Sighing softly, Angela said nothing.

After a moment of silence, she began to reflect on her mistakes.

"I will need to be more careful when handling things in the future. Logan seemed tactful on the surface, but who knew he would do something so extreme…" Angela coughed after speaking. That incident had nearly cost her life.

"It wasn't your fault." Dexter tore open a packet of medicine, poured the brown-gray powder into warm water, and stirred it with a straw. The room quickly filled with the bitter smell of medicine.

"Why are you blaming yourself when someone else has ill intentions?" Dexter snorted, handing the medicine to her.

Angela pursed her lips, looking somewhat helpless.

"Mr. Bamford, have you been waking up on the wrong side of the bed lately? Why are you treating a frail, pitiful, helpless patient like me with such hostility?" She stared at him intently.

"Let me ask you something." Dexter pulled a chair closer before sitting down in front of her. "Why did you head out alone that day? If I had been there, this wouldn't have happened. You almost lost your life—do you realize that?"

Just the thought made Dexter feel physically ill. He truly couldn't understand how Angela's thought process could be so different from everyone else's.

"Oh," Angela replied with an awkward smile, rubbing her nose, unsure how to respond.

If it had been before, she probably could have retorted with, "It's none of your business."
