I was finally back in my hotel room.After taking a shower, I changed into my nightwear and climbed into bed. I was no longer feeling any pain in my chest. It had completely stopped.It was almost as if the incident in the car never happened.I sighed and rolled over on my bed. I just couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened.If I hadn’t taken my medication, I probably would’ve fainted right there beside Dexter. Just thinking about it made me shiver.I rolled onto my back this time and stared at the ceiling.But even surviving the episode wasn’t my biggest problem anymore.Going to the hospital with Dexter tomorrow was my biggest nightmare at the moment.And he had made it very clear that it wasn’t up for discussion.I groaned and kicked my leg against the side of the bed.“Why is he pushing this hard?” I yelled.What was even his business? I could take care of myself.Why would a boss want to take his assistant to the hospital?Can’t he just accept that it’s a headache and leav

“I think Dexter El Camino was jealous.” “What?” Blake and I shouted at the same time. “Easy, guys. You both almost burst my eardrums.” Fox complained. I stared at my phone for a few seconds before bursting into laughter. I got a notification that Blake was requesting to switch to a video call, and I accepted, still laughing. A few seconds later, Blake and Fox appeared on the screen. Blake was lying on his bed, also laughing so hard, while Fox was sitting on his couch, staring at us with amusement. “Fox, did you take some whiskey?” I asked him. “I was going to say weed,” Blake added, almost out of breath. That only made me laugh harder. My legs hit the bed as my body shook with laughter. “Really, guys?” Fox asked, smiling. “You can’t be serious,” I said in between laughs. “I’m serious.” “Then why on earth would you say Dexter El Camino was jealous?” I rubbed my hands over my face, trying to calm myself down. My laughter was beginning to choke me. I just wasn’t expecting

I ran after Dexter. It was hard to catch up with him because Dexter was running like he was in a marathon. I could barely hear my own footsteps over the sound of his. I had never seen Dexter run before. Dexter El Camino was the type of man who could walk into a room even when he was late and expect everyone to wait for him. He never rushed or looked nervous. He always seemed to have everything under control. Even when things went wrong, Dexter remained calm, cold, and collected. But the man running in front of me didn’t look anything like that Dexter. His tie was slightly out of place, and he was breathing heavily But what surprised me more than anything else was how frightened he looked. Up until this day, I never thought Dexter could look shaken or scared. I ran faster and finally caught up with him. “Sir, can you at least tell me what’s going on?” “I don’t have time for that now, Mia,” he said, breathing hard. Maybe it was best if I just kept quiet and found out myself

As I walked beside Dexter, following the nurse leading the way, I couldn’t wait to know who exactly this mystery child was.Was I right about him being Dexter’s hidden illegitimate son, or was he a distant relative of his?But if an to choose between those two possibilities I'd choose the mystery child bring Dexter child because how else would you explain why he would panic like that over a child unless they were related to him?Dexter had practically abandoned everything to be here.He had driven like a madman through Seattle and donated his blood without even thinking twice.There had to be a reason. We stopped in front of a door, waiting for the nurse to open it.She slid the door open, and we all went in. The first thing I noticed was how small the room was.There was a bed near the window and a few medical machines beside it. Colorful stickers decorated the walls.My eyes moved from the wall to the little boy in the bed. He looked like he was around ten or eleven years old.He wa

Dexter stopped at Daniel's room to check on him first before we headed to the toy store.I watched as he slowly pushed the door open and looked inside.I leaned slightly, trying to see past him.It seemed Dexter wanted to confirm that Daniel was still asleep.After confirming it, he slowly closed the door. We walked out of the building and headed toward the car. We both got in, and Dexter started driving.There was silence as we drove, which was probably even better because…What was I supposed to say to him? Liu Oh, so you actually like kids?Or maybe—Wow, Dexter El Camino. Who would have thought you were such a good philanthropist?No. Absolutely not. I had nothing to say to him.Besides…Something else was bothering me.I couldn’t understand why Mrs. Williams’ face looked really familiar.I wanted to shake the thought off, but there was just something about her.I rubbed my fingers together as I stared outside.Maybe I was just overthinking things, my brain was simply trying to make
