Chapter 341 Not That Simple
Josie’s hand froze as she dared not move. She pulled her hand back awkwardly. “That… I wasn’t doing anything. There was something on your neck. I was cleaning it…”
It was evidently a lie.
Dexter bore his eyes into her.
She felt on edge and instinctively moved back, away from him. He snatched her arm and flipped it palm-
side up.
“It looks like you’re so bored that you not only went to nurse him but even donated your blood,” he scoffed. A trace of anger was heard in his voice.
Josie could not argue back as she turned her head away. “Saving a life has far more value than building
memorials for the dead.”
“You’re just hell-bent on going against me, isn’t it?” His response was swift as he forcibly turned her head to face him.
“Is it wrong for me to find my own means to survive, Dexter?”
She stared back and replied calmly. She would face him if that was what he wanted.
The man’s eyebrows quirked.
She tried to get away from him. “You told me you thought of Summer as your sister. Tell me, Dexter, is it still the same now?”
It took a lot of courage for her to ask the question, as it meant that she still had expectations of him.
Dexter noticed it, and the darkness behind his eyes dissipated. He released his grip. “It’s not that simple about Summer. Not only me but even Arnold does not have the liberty to make a choice.”
Josie nodded silently as she understood him. She crawled into the bed and buried her face into the pillow. “I want to sleep. Do whatever you want.”
A deafening silence fell upon the place.
She drifted in and out of her sleep. Her heart sank when she woke up and felt the coldness next to her. She stepped out of the bed and headed to the door.
