Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 355

Dexter felt an overwhelming urge to rush in and carry Angela away. He considered that it would be better to pressure the Crawford family than to allow her to use this foolish approach.

However, he still waited for her silently, knowing that she didn't want to be disturbed.

Joel felt helpless. He wiped the blood from his nose and helped Angela up. "I promise you. Go and see a doctor now. Why are you so stubborn?"

Angela's eyes sparkled with excitement, and her voice quivered with joy. "Thank you, thank you..."

Before she finished speaking, she collapsed. Dexter quickly lifted her up. "Angela!"

Fiona rushed over to assist, urging, "Quick! We need to get her to the hospital now!"

…

Dexter and Fiona waited anxiously outside the emergency department until the doctor reassured them that Angela's injuries were minor and mostly superficial. Meanwhile, Angela slept with an IV drip, unaware of their concern.

"Why did she keep pushing herself? It's like she's got some sort of superpower or something. It's really weird, you know?" Fiona sat on the couch, gazing into the distance, deep in contemplation.

"She was so harsh to herself. Why did she let you..." Fiona paused as Angela woke up.

"So painful..." Angela was aware of her current condition. She had only fainted briefly. Even when she had lost consciousness, she felt the pressure of the ring and the brutal beating.

"Which area is causing you pain? I'll check with the doctor to see if he can prescribe you additional painkillers." With that, Fiona hurried out.

The ward fell into an unsettling silence.

Angela stared at him with a blank expression, silently conveying that this was her personal choice and had nothing to do with him. She found herself bewildered and unsure of what had brought about such a reaction.

After a while, she suddenly asked, "Are you close to Joel? Are you upset that I defeated him?"

Dexter was left speechless. She managed to infuriate him completely.

Dexter paced the room with his hands on his hips, his icy expression brimming with fury. He was trying his best not to lose his composure again. Just in time, Fiona entered with a doctor.
