Chapter 189
Joseph appeared incredibly frail, and his complexion was ghostly pale.
Angela's heart ached when she saw him. She wanted to approach him and get a closer look. However, Ursula
and Cecilia stepped forward first, wiping away their tears. One by one, others joined them, crowding around
Joseph.
As such, Angela could only crane her neck to observe from afar, silently praying that Joseph would wake up soon.

Joseph, and no one disagreed.
Dexter said sternly, "I'll stay back with you. I've arranged for someone to bring toiletries and our clothes. We'll be
staying in the adjacent ward."

Meanwhile, Dexter was busy with his work. The two of them sat across from each other silently.
As the night grew, tpassed steadily, enveloping the entire hospital in an almost eerie silence. Angela found
herself lost in a daze when suddenly, Dexter's voice broke through the stillness.
"Would you like something to eat?"
"How can | possibly have an appetite..." Angela had barely completed her sentence when her stomach let out a
loud growl as if protesting against her words. A wave of embarrassment washed over her.
Dexter smirked as he placed an order for food delivery, including barbecue and Angela's favorite fruit tea. The
two settled by the window, indulging in their meal and drinks. At that moment, they unexpectedly found a rare
sense of mutual companionship.
"It wouldn't be so bad to be like this forever." Dexter smiled before looking up at the soft moonlight filtering
through the window. He was enveloped in a shimmering silver glow, and the chilling air that usually kept people
at bay had dissipated.
Angela was gobbling up her food, but when she heard him, she was so shocked that she nearly choked. She
quickly gulped swater.
"Take it easy. No one is trying to take your food." He rolled his eyes.

Suddenly, Joseph coughed violently and trembled as he asked, "What? You..."
Angela was stunned. When had Joseph woken up? Why had he had to hear those words?
"Grandpa, how are you feeling?" Angela asked as she got up.
Dexter also set down his glass to join her.

Angela actually wanted to use this as an opportunity to clarify everything and avoid upsetting Joseph by
revealing it later.
Joseph's face turned pale, and he trembled with anger. "Great! How dare you two lie tofor so long?"
His stern voice echoed in the ward. Angela and Dexter silently lowered their heads, unable to say a word.
Joseph was agitated and coughed so violently that he spat out blood. Seeing this, Angela was
overwhelmed with fear. With tears streaming down her face, she rushed to find a doctor.
