The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 560

Chapter 560 Apology and Redemption

Josie’s voice sounded muffled and distant, yet Dexter managed to hear it. He reached out and grabbed her wrist, his body temperature almost scorching her skin.

His grip was strong despite his weakened state.

Feeling the pain from his firm grasp, Josie furrowed her brows as she stubbornly placed a pill by his lips and handed him water. But he didn’t open his mouth, causing the water to spill over.

Covered in sweat, Josie called, “Dexter, Dexter?”

The pill melted in Dexter’s mouth, its bitterness perhaps unnoticed amidst his condition.

Josie couldn’t do anything else but observe that he didn’t spit it out. Deciding to withhold the water, she silently resolved to let him endure the discomfort.

With that in mind, she gently laid him back down and prepared to leave. However, her wrist was firmly grasped, and she found herself pulled into Dexter’s embrace.

In a hoarse voice, he whispered into her ear, “Stay with me.”

The warm touch reached Josie’s skin through their clothes, causing her to furrow her brows in discomfort.

He remained with his eyes closed throughout, yet he relied on his senses alone to recognize her presence, tightening his grip even more.

He whispered breathlessly, “Stay with me and sleep for a while, just a little while.”

Josie’s back stiffened, and she didn’t dare moye a muscle. She listened to his gradually calming breaths.

As Dexter gradually drifted into sleep, Josie found it difficult to find her own comfort from his powerful grip. She used all her strength to adjust to a slightly more comfortable position.

Raising her gaze, she found herself face-to-face with Dexter.

He looked peaceful while sleeping, utterly different from his usual imposing and cold demeanor. He even appeared somewhat cute.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, his lips tightly pressed together as if he didn’t sleep soundly.

They were so close that Josie could see the hint of stubble on his chin, which would be prickly to touch.

Lost in her thoughts, she continued to gaze at him.

After Dexter had received an injection and taken medicine, he began to sweat. After some time had passed, Josie touched him and found that his fever had subsided.
