Chapter 9

After talking with Matthew, Josie stayed in the hospital to accompany her father until five in the evening. Then, she bought some groceries in the supermarket and went back to Mason Garden by public bus. Dexter was not home after Josie had dinner, so she washed up and went to bed.In the middle of the night, she woke up due to thirst. She went downstairs in a daze to drink a glass of water and returned to a room to continue sleeping.At 2 a.m., Dexter returned to the villa after his schedule ended. He went back to his bedroom and switched on the light. As he was about to walk to the bathroom, his steps halted. How on earth did this woman appear on my bed?Dressed in cotton sleepwear, Josie was sleeping in an unruly position with her fair, long legs exposed in the air.Dexter’s eyes darkened. He went up and grasped Josie’s arm.
