NovelEnglishChapter 191
There was a knock on the door. "Are you awake? We need to talk."
It was Dexter.
Angela put on a jacket and went to the study on the second floor.
Something seemed off about Dexter; his handsface was flushed, as if he were ill.
"What's wrong with you?" Angela looked at him. She thought he was really sick, so she got up and poured him a
glass of water.
He took the water and drank it all. "I don't know either. | think | might have caught a cold and have fever."
Fever? Seriously?
Angela said, "What do you plan to do about Grandpa? | feel really guilty toward him."
Dexter raised an eyebrow. "Then why don't you go tell him that we're actually not divorced and are still living a
good life together? If he gets excited, maybe he'll recover faster."
Angela glared at him and was about to speak when she suddenly felt a slight warmth spreading across her back.
She felt an indescribable sensation stir within her body.

At this moment, Dexter had already swiftly stepped back a few paces, putting sdistance between them.
When their gazes met, they could both see the deep shock in each other's eyes.
Who else could have done this except Joseph?
"You... Don't cany closer. I'll leave first." Angela walked out with her back glued to the wall. However, out of
nowhere, her knees gave out, and she almost collapsed on the floor.
Thankfully, Dexter reacted quickly and held her up.
His large hand was warm as he held her wrist. In the past, Angela would have pushed him away with disdain or
even recoiled at his touch.
But at this very moment, she felt a strange and inexplicable sense of pleasure from the contact.
"The door is locked." Dexter's voice was slightly hoarse, betraying no emotion.
Angela quickly bit her tongue hard, finally regaining ssense of clarity. "No, absolutely not!" She

"Open the door. Open it!" Angela's voice had grown soft and weak, and even her knocks were delicate and
feeble.
Unfortunately, no one responded. Unwilling to give up, she turned abruptly and headed into the bathroom,
turning on the cold water and letting the iciness drench her entirely.
Soon, the lingering heat in her body slowly began to subside.
At that moment, she heard a loud thud. It was Dexter pounding on the door. Through the frosted glass, his angry
voice erupted, "What are you doing? Are you insane?"
Angela shivered. Her back was facing him. No, she wasn't insane. It was because she was too clear-headed that
she refused to allow herself to succumb to this.
"Open the door!" After a while, when Angela was on the verge of fainting, she heard the sound of a vase
smashing against the door.
The people outside, perhaps not expecting their resistance to be so fierce, hurriedly unlocked the room.
At this moment, Dexter's eyes were bloodshot, and his entire body exuded fury: He abruptly grabbed the guard
standing outside by the collar gritting his teeth as he shouted, "The antidote! Where

is it?"
"Mr. Bamford Sr. didn't givethe antidote." The bodyguard's face paled, and he didn't dare to look at Dexter.
"Piss off!" Dexter pushed him away and said to the other household staff. "Get the doctor."
Angela had no idea when she had passed out in the bathroom or when she was taken out. When she groggily
regained consciousness. she found herself lying facedown on a bed. A faint, stinging pain radiated from her arm
and back.
