Chapter 177

As they waited, Josie leaned closer and quizzed, “What’s the deal with the Ardon farmily?”The queue was crawling along, and soon, a nurse approached them. She politely said, “Mr. Russell, the hospital director mentioned that you could bypass the protocol. Please let me know if you need immediate attention, and F’ll make the necessary arrangements.”Her words were veiled, but Dexter and Josie understood.Dexter glanced at the crowd and declined with a wave of his hand, “No need for that. We’ll wait like everyone else.”The nurse nodded and moved on.Josie always thought he would take advantage of his status and seek special treatment, but today, his humility surprised her. Sitting beside him, she couldn’t help but admire Dexter’s down-to-earth attitude.She gave him a thumbs-up, to which he simply beamed and didn’t say anything else.
