Chapter 266

Angela couldn't shake off her concern for Dexter. After all, he had been injured because of her. How could she not feel anxious about it?

The doctor arrived promptly and conducted a thorough checkup on Dexter. He concluded that Dexter's injury was acting up again, leading to poor blood circulation. He needed to go to the hospital for medication and injections.

Angela went with him. Meanwhile, Zack stayed home to wait for Joanne.

"Mr. Bamford, it's best for you to stay in the hospital. Given your current health condition, it's not advisable..." the doctor advised worriedly.

The nurse had assisted Dexter in changing into a hospital gown. He propped against the bed, visibly uncomfortable due to the lack of support behind him.

Noticing his discomfort, Angela quickly fetched a pillow and offered him a box of tissues to wipe the cold sweat beading on his forehead. Dexter glanced at her intensely and remained silent.

"You should consider staying here for the next few days. There's no rush to return. You can leave the hospital once your wound has fully healed," she suggested.

Angela felt a twinge of guilt. Dexter had returned because she hadn't been at the hospital with him; she had left him alone.

"Why should I stay here? To die alone?" Dexter shot her a frustrating glare.

Angela recognized the truth in his words and felt embarrassed. At that moment, she wished she could hide.

"Don't worry. I'll just stay here to look after you." She paused for a moment, then managed to put on a smile, one that was almost flattering.

Dexter snorted and was about to speak when Angela's phone rang loudly, startling them. It was a video call from Zack.

Angela subconsciously glanced at Dexter, who looked unhappy. After a moment's hesitation, she answered the phone and lowered the volume. To her surprise, Zack's face filled the screen, followed by Andrew's angry one. śwnovel

"Angie, they're here. Just say what you want," Zack said, placing his phone on the coffee table and aiming the camera at Andrew.

Joanne stood next to Andrew with her arms crossed. She looked stern and intimidating.

Angela smiled instantly and asked, "Mr. Graham, you're over 50. Why do you still act like an elementary school student when faced with problems?"

She sat on the couch with her phone, trying to speak softly so that she wouldn't disturb Dexter and worsen their already strained relationship.

Andrew was furious on the call and glared at the screen. He sneered. "Angela, if you're brave enough, let me go to the company."

"What are you planning to do at the company? Are you planning to tell everyone that I treat you harshly? Mr. Graham, it's best to let that go. If you're still the same Andrew from before, that approach won't be effective either. swnovel

"Despite their flattery, none of the employees genuinely care about you. Even those who outwardly support you will eventually grow resentful, as you frequently fall short of their expectations."

After a moment of silence, Angela took a sip of water and continued, "Besides, you've already lost the respect of all employees after what happened in the past. If you make a scene, you will only tarnish your reputation further and make others dislike you more. There's no benefit at all." swnovel

She sighed and added, "Mr. Graham, stop fighting."
