Chapter 126

Josie sat on a bench in the corridor and hugged her knees. She felt very insecure.“Do you smell that, Dexter? It’s the smell of disinfectant. I hate this smell. It’s so suffocating.” she said softly.Dexter’s throat rumbled. He had never comforted such a vulnerable woman, so he didn’t know what to say.Josie was still speaking. It seemed like she could only soothe the panic in her heart by talking.“How did you feel when your grandfather was sick? Were you upset?”Dexter sat beside her and spoke softly. I was nervous, just like you. Although I didn’t need money, I understood clearly at that moment that we can’t defeat illnesses”Josie shut her eyes. She felt the same today. “Everyone advised me to give up treatment for my dad three years ago. They said he would be as good as dead if he continued living. Not only would I run out of money, but he would also become a burden. More importantly, he would be in a lot of pain.”
