Chapter 142 Marilyn Visiting âWhen I saw the photos, I thought, isnât this Jo? It gave me a fright. Why didnât you tell me?!â
Old Mr. Russell chided Dexter angrily. He was about to go mad.
Dexterâs head hurt. He never expected this to go on the news. He explained patiently, âGrandpa, itâs not a big deal. Joâs arm fractured, and sheâs been discharged. Donât worry. Take care of yourself.â
âThatâs absolutely disgraceful! Sheâs your wife. Youâre glossing over it even after she got into something as serious as an accident. Is a fracture no big deal? You can find out after I break your legs!â Old Mr.
Russell grew furious, and he almost lost his breath. âGive the phone to Jo. I want to talk to her!â
Dexter signaled the woman beside him with a glance. She couldnât hold the cell phone, so he put it next to her without moving.
âAre you alright, Jo? You can be honest with me.â Old Mr. Russellâs voice completely changed. It was very gentle.
Josie bit the bullet and answered, âGrandpa, itâs no big deal. The newspapers are spouting nonsense.
Donât believe them.â
âYou only suffered a fracture?â
âYes. Iâve been discharged, and Iâm now going home to recuperate.â
âThatâs good.â Old Mr. Russellâs voice suddenly increased in volume. âDexter Russell.â
Dexter answered nonchalantly, âIâm here.â
âA fracture isnât just a small matter. Iâve instructed Marilyn to go to Mason Garden to care for Jo. She should be there now. Watch out.â
When Josie heard it, she choked on her water and tried her best to keep from coughing.
Dexter wrinkled his brows. âWhy did you go through great pains to ask Marilyn to come? Itâs not like there arenât servants in Mason Garden.â
Old Mr. Russell sneered. âSo what? Marilyn has taken care of me for years and is very attentive. I will only be reassured if she takes care of Jo.â
âWhat about you?â
Unlock succeeded are many servants in Russell Mansion. I can cope. Joâs health is crucial now. Sheâs the most important,â Old Mr. Russell said erratically before immediately ending the call.
Dexter massaged his temples. He sneered. âGrandpa treats you so well.â
Josie was overwhelmed and frantic. âWhat should we do? If Marilyn stays in Mason Garden, we canât hide it.â
Marilyn was different from the servants in Mason Garden. She thought that the two had a genuine relationship and marriage.
Dexter was calm when faced with her panic. âWe can only act as a true couple.â
âAct? How are we going to act?â Josie was annoyed yet amused. The car stopped at the entrance of Mason Garden, and a row of servants stood outside, with Marilyn in the lead. She smiled at them.
âGo down and stall. I will instruct the servants to move your belongings into the master bedroom.â
âMaster⦠bedroom?â He forced Josie out of the car. Before she could ask further, she was in front of Marilyn.
âYouâre here, Marilyn.â Dexter was respectful to her.
Marilyn only cared about Josie. She was taken aback when she saw Josie. âOh my god, itâs so serious.
Come in, quick, Jo. Have a seat.â
Josie gulped and forced out a smile. âIâm sorry for troubling you, Marilyn. Um⦠These are the instructions from the doctor. Please take a look at them.â
The two entered the villa, and Dexter instructed the remaining servants calmly. âMove Mrs. Russellâs belongings into my room. Do it quickly.â
âYes, sir.â
On the other end, Josie led Marilyn into the kitchen. When Josie saw the servants bustling upstairs, she said, âMarilyn, I like taking herbal tonics. Can you please make me some?â
âI need good herbs to make herbal tonics. I have to go and buy them. Wait for me, Jo.â After that, Marilyn wanted to leave.
