Chapter 1005


    The sound of a gunshot rang out.


    Josie immediately opened her eyes and was startled to see a bullet striking Johnny’s knife, causing it to


    fall to the ground. Johnny looked incredulously at the person in the distance.


    Dexter, dressed in a ck shirt with unrolled sleeves, approached with smooth and confident strides.


    He firmly held a gun in his hand, smoke still wafting from the barrel.


    He hurriedly approached, finding Josie sitting on the ground in a pitiful state. Tears were still streaming


    down her cheeks, and she was so aggrieved that she couldn’t utter a word.


    She didn’t care why Dexter hade. She just felt terrified.


    Johnny had lost his weapon. He retreated step by step, but he didn’t beg for mercy. Instead, he knelt


    straight down on the ground, understanding that his life was about to be ruined.


    “Mr. Olsen!” Larry arrivedter, so shocked by the scene before him that he was rendered speechless.


    Upon seeing Dexter, Mark finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed his eyes.


    “Don’t fall asleep!” Josie eximed.


    “Get him to the hospital. Quickly!” Dexter spoke without hesitation.


    The bodyguards quickly took hold of the person from Josie’s hands. A people carried him and ran


    outside, not stopping until they reached the car.


    Josie was about to rise and follow, but Dexter raised his hand, pressing her back down and causing her


    to sit back in her original spot.


    She stared at him nkly, momentarily unsure of how she should feel.


    Dexter put the gun away and squatted down to meet her gaze. He grasped her frail wrist, which was


    worn and scarred beyond recognition.


    Judging from the situation here, he could tell how much suffering she had endured.


    His Adam’s apple bobbed, and after a moment, he finally said, “You’ve been through so much.”


    “All these years.”


    Josie wore a nk expression after enduring a tremendous shock.


    Morgan had rushed over, crossing a mountain, only to see Mark being carried away. His face changed


    dramatically as he quickly stepped into the abandoned construction site. To his surprise, he saw the


    bodyguard detaining a bald man, while in the corner, Josie was sitting there, with Dexter crouching


    down next to her.


    All of Morgan’s worries and anxieties hadpletely vanished, reced instead by jealousy.


    He had arrivedte.


    But how could this be? When I left, Dexter was still at the scene. How could he have found this ce


    so quickly?


    Could it be that he had known all along?


    Everything was prepared when they came to the rescue. Larry fetched a medical kit from the car and


    brought it over. Dexter carefully applied the medicine to her wrist with care and consideration.

    The two remained silent.


    He carefully and meticulously treated her wrist, wrapping it in gauze. Then, he half-knelt on the ground


    to attend to the wound on her ankle. It was only then that Josie finally spoke. “Will Mark die?”


    Dexter didn’t stop what he was doing.


    He had just examined Mark’s wound on his back. The wound wasn’t very deep. It shouldn’t be fatal.


    “No. I will summon the best doctor in the entire city to save him.”


    “What am I supposed to do if he dies?” Josie asked as though she hadn’t heard him the first time.


    Her eyes were clear as she looked at him nkly. “Am I to bear the burden of another life lost?”


    Seeing Josie in such a state caused Dexter’s heart to ache. He said firmly, “I said he won’t die. I’m


    here, Leanne.”


    The two exchanged nces.


    Josie was momentarily stunned, and then a wave of dizziness washed over her. The inhuman torment


    she had endured these past days finally took its toll, causing her to copsepletely.


    “Leanne!”
