Chapter 896 Unbreakable Bond
She turned her gaze around the room, where only a few people were present, including Larry and a few. attendants.
The familiar figure was nowhere to be found.
Josie remained silent. Larry understood and stepped forward, whispering, “The doctor said you’re fine. The rain has also stopped. Mr. Russell has gone to handle some matters, and he’ll be back soon.”
His voice was gentle, as if he was afraid that Josie might overthink.
Her head was splitting with pain. She naturally knew what he meant by handling matters. “Water…” she murmured.
The attendant served her a glass of water.
Josie took a sip, assured the doctor that she was fine, and then leaned against the head of the bed to rest for a moment.
The rain outside had indeed stopped.
She never expected that her lost memories would be returned to her on a similar rainy day.
She could now be more certain that she was Liana, and also Leanne.
The gentle Dex who used to treat her kindly had now grown into the cold and ruthless Dexter.
And she never expected that the two most important chapters of her life, before the amnesia and after the. amnesia, would be given to Dexter.
What a coincidence. Dex, our bond really is unbreakable. Josie thought to herself. But it’s quite amusing that such a bond could still be exploited by others in times of vulnerability. Those people are
far too bold. Do they really think I’ll never return? Indeed. If I hadn’t found the clues, I might never have known that I am Liana.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the sky outside began to brighten. Josie finally put down the water. cup in her hand and asked Larry, “When can I leave this place?”
Larry hesitated, “Mr. Russell said you’d have to wait until the injury heals.”
Only then did Josie notice the gauze on her forehead. She lightly touched it. The pain sobered her up.
“Is he referring to my wound or hers?”
Larry was caught between a rock and a hard place. “Of course it’s yours.”
Josie chuckled.
“Ms. Olsen smashed a water glass and slit her wrist when no one was paying attention to her. Fortunately, she was discovered in time, so her life was not in danger. Under such circumstances, she specifically asked to see Mr. Russell. The Olsen family has been waiting, and Mr. Russell has been absent for several days, which has already caused complaints. Now, he simply cannot be absent. Please understand him.”
Josie’s smile broadened, appearing somewhat flamboyant under the bright white light. “The way the two sisters garner sympathy is exactly the same. What’s a inere scar compared to the reluctance to let her child take some risks to get what she wants.”
Larry didn’t know what opinion to express, so he simply remained silent.
The phone on the bedside table suddenly rang. It was Dexter. He had probably managed to soothe Heather.
Josie didn’t pick up and instead hung up the call.
He kept calling.
So, Josie removed her SIM card. She finally found peace and tossed her phone aside.
Watching her series of actions, Larry could even imagine the look of Dexter’s furrowed brows.
In fact, he was already quite late.
When Larry arrived, he saw Dexter holding the unconscious Josie, shouting, “Get a doctor! Hurry!”
His large hand trembled as it covered her bleeding forehead, his lips quivering as he spoke. “Fool, why did you chase after the car…”
“It’s all my fault. I’ve been too harsh on you.” He pressed his face against her forehead, murmuring, “Please, wake up. You can hit me when you do, however you want. I’ll let you hit me back.”
“I’m sorry, Jo… I’m sorry…
He panicked as if the apocalypse had arrived.
All thoughts of Heather, the Olsen family, and any collaborations were completely forgotten. The only thing in his eyes was Josie.
Just like that, he held her until the doctor arrived.
Larry was almost trembling, wanting to say that Josie seemed to have only scraped his forehead, but in the end, he said nothing.
