Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 312

Angela couldn't be bothered to argue with Natalie, who didn't even like her. She simply nodded at Fiona.

"Dexter, come with me," Natalie called Dexter outside.

They stood at the end of the corridor. There was no one else except them.

Natalie got straight to the point. "What exactly happened? How did she suddenly end up with such a serious condition? Wasn't she already treated after she fell into the lake last time? Or did she suffer any aftereffects? What's wrong with her anyway? How could she be so irresponsible with her health?"

Dexter's expression darkened. "Grandma, who wouldn't care about their own health? This has nothing to do with her negligence."

Natalie shot him a sharp look, lowering her voice to say, "If she really can't have children, then shouldn't you start preparing? Our family can't just—"

"This is none of your business." Dexter's voice turned icy. "Whether we have children or not doesn't affect my relationship with her."

"Do you even have a relationship? Does she have any feelings for you? Don't think that I don't know about your strained relationship. You've been chasing after her shamelessly, and now you're trying to fool me? Do you find that amusing?"

Natalie hadn't always been aware of Dexter and Angela's complicated relationship. She only found out because her wonderful grandson, Trevor, had told her about it.

Trevor had casually mentioned it a couple of times, saying he'd seen them arguing bitterly when no one else was around. He had even expressed his concern about it.

"You are the heir of the Bamford family. Do you know how many women in this city would do anything to be with you? They would tear you apart and take a piece each if they could. And yet, what does Angela treat you as?"

The more Natalie spoke, the angrier she became. She crossed her arms, itching to storm into the hospital room and lecture Angela herself.

Angela forced herself to sit up straighter. "Grandpa, Madam Fiona, this is just a small issue—nothing serious. I just need to exercise more and watch what I eat. I'll be fine with time and proper care."

She smiled, trying to ease their concerns.

To be honest, she wasn't even confident in what she said since she also had no idea what had caused this.

"I don't buy it. The doctor said your body was harmed by something. What could that be?" Fiona muttered, lowering her head in thought.

Angela was momentarily speechless. Dexter hadn't found the answer either, so there was no way she would know.
