NovelEnglishChapter 197
Angela and Dexter bought supplements at a supermarket near the hospital before heading straight to Joseph's
ward.
Joseph was already awake. He was sitting by the window, looking out.
When he heard footsteps, he turned around. His eyes lit up when he saw who it was. "Angela, you're here. Zack,
you're here too! Chave a seat. I'll have someone send sfood over."
As soon as Joseph finished speaking, the nurse who was taking care of him brought in tea and fruit. Zack sweetly
exchanged a few polite words with Joseph and then sat quietly on the couch, pretending to be a well-behaved
child.
Joseph held Angela's hand, his gaze complicated. Angela avoided his eyes, and for a moment, neither of them
spoke. The atmosphere in the hospital room grew tense.
"Angie, are you still upset with me? I truly feel regretful. | never thought things would end up this way," Joseph
said, his eyes filled with remorse as he looked at her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAngela sighed. "Grandpa, these things can't be forced. My relationship with Dexter has run its course."
The moment her words fell, the expressions of the other two in the room shifted tically. Zack looked like
someone who had just heard sjuicy gossip, and his snack suddenly didn't taste as good anymore.
He glanced at Dexter, who was seated nearby. The latter's expression was especially grim. His brows were
furrowed tightly, and his emotions, which he was usually so good at hiding, were clear for all to see.
Joseph remained silent for a long time.
Angela understood that her words had cas a shock, but she had no choice. It was better to take the
opportunity to cut off the last thread of hope in Joseph's heart. It would also prevent Dexter from harboring any
unrealistic fantasies.
Joseph finally found his voice after a prolonged pause. "Angie, what will you do in the future?"
Angela smiled faintly. "Grandpa, don't worry. No matter how our relationship changes, you'll always be my
grandfather. The kindness you've shownwill remain etched in my heart forever."
Hearing this, Joseph's expression softened slightly.
As they left the hospital, Angela felt as though a heavy weight had finally been lifted off of her chest.
Stretching lazily, she turned to Zack and said, "Let's go. We'll head to see Dad. | still have squestions for
him."
She didn't spare Dexter another glance.
Standing on the steps, Dexter quietly watched the siblings walk away, one in front
of the other, until they disappeared from view.
It was only then that he fully realized
Angela's heart was stronger and
more unyielding than anyone's. Once e she made up her mind, it was
almost impossible to change it.
But what about him? He had already given his heart away a logn tago.
"Angie, what's going on with you two?" Zack asked anxiously.
"It's just as you heard. We are not meant to be, and he is not your brother-in-law anymore," Angela said with a
poker face.
Zack was stunned. "But now... Without his protection, what will you do if you're in danger?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"If I'm in danger, I'll die. What else can | do?" Angela shot him a glance. "Do you think I can't survive without
him? Life goes on."
Zack froze. In the past, if Angela had said something like this, he wouldn't have believed her. But now, he
suddenly felt she was increfull
of strength and resilience. She could definitely carve out her own path, relying on no one but herself. S
When they arrived at the hospital, Bill was still asleep. Despite the poison in his system, his thunderous snores
echoed through the room. It was as if nothing had happened.
"Dad, wake up! Wake up!" Zack moved forward and gave Bill a good shake. "We're back."
