Chapter 439 Iâm Here for You Anderson received a call from an old friend when he completed surgery that day. âHey Anderson, whatâs the best remedy for period cramps?â Dexter asked seriously while Anderson was caught off guard by the question. âHuh? Can you repeat?â
Cold and reserved, Dexter repeated himself patiently.
After understanding Dexterâs intention, Anderson teased him, âYou should know that Iâm a surgeon, not a gynecologist.â
âBoth are doctors.â
Anderson burst out in laughter. âIt seems like youâre pretty concerned. Brown sugar drinks are not effective. Mix half a bottle of wine with water and soak her feet in it for half an hour.
Dexter took Andersonâs words as truth while Josie was rendered speechless. As a woman, she had never heard of this method before! However, she didnât dare to refuse and obediently soaked her feet for half an hour while covering her abdomen in pain.
Meanwhile, Dexter was working on his laptop on the balcony. When he finished his work, he checked the time on his watch and walked into the room. âAre you feeling better?â
Not at all.
Josie got up and poured the water away. Then, she opened the window for air circulation as the room was filled with the scent of alcohol.
âWhich alcohol did you use?â
Josie was not a wine connoisseur, but she could tell from the scent that it was expensive. She couldnât believe Dexter used it for her foot bath.
Dexter did not answer but looked at the spot Josie sat.
Josie followed his gaze and gasped at the sight. She quickly ran up to him to block his sight. âI-I didnât mean it!â
There was a patch of redness on the bed. Josie blushed to the root of her hair and was exasperated when she saw Dexterâs smirk as if he was mocking her.
âDonât look at it!â Josie was so embarrassed that she instinctively covered Dexterâs eyes with her hand.
âStop it!â
The man smiled and paused briefly before grasping her wrist and pushing her to the bed. He kissed her fervently, disregarding her abashment.
Toward the end, Josie curled up in Dexterâs arm, her eyes filled with tears as she was reminded of the horrible incident she experienced today.
Dexter whispered in her ear with a deep, hoarse voice, âEverything is okay now. It has passed. Iâm here for you, so donât cryâ
Josieâs heart skipped a beat. Her tears fell into her hair and disappeared. The scent of alcohol lingering in the air was intoxicating After the auction ended, Josie and Dexter returned to Mason Garden. Soon, news about Normanâs downfall spread Josie had a premonition that Norman would end up in deep water. Recently, Dexterâs secretary had been poached by various important figures and was promised lucrative remuneration because he was an extremely effective and reliable assistant. Anyone would yearn to have a loyal and talented assistant like him.
It only took one night for the news about Norman to release. Josie reckoned that if everything went smoothly, the news about him being disqualified as a candidate would appear in the evening news.
Right after Josie was rescued, evidence of his corruption was promptly submitted that same night without mercy. It was a crucial period, and Norman was caught with solid evidence. So, he couldnât escape from spending the rest of his life in prison.
Everyone was aware of these gray areas, but no one would expose oneâs opponentâs evildoings to make an enemy. However, given how swiftly this exposure was done, others could imagine there must be an irreconcilable enmity involved. It became obvious that Norman had offended someone.
This matter had caused a huge sensation in the city and couldnât be concealed. The following day, many became aware that Dexter was behind it
