Chapter 250

Chapter 249 New Year’s Eve Mason Garden was filled with a festive mood on New Year’s Eve. Josie dragged Dexter

along early in the morning to hang up some decorations at the entrance. Dexter was tall and could easily put them

up. He turned to ask Josie if the angle was appropriate. Josie observed carefully and said, “Hmm.. Slightly to the

left. Yeah, yeah. Looks good now” Marilyn, who was watering the plants, said to Henry with a wide grin. “Dex has

never helped to decorate the house all these years. Only Jo could persuade him.” Dexter complained, “Ms. Marilyn,

I was busy the past few years. You make it sound like I’m lazy” That’s true. When have you not been busy? I’m glad

cash. Josie rejected it immediately. “I can’t accept it, Grandpa. I’m a working adult now, so I shouldn’t receive this

money from you.” However, Henry insisted and forcefully shoved the envelope into Josie’s hand. “That’s not an

shall take it.” Upon perceiving Dexter’s noncommittal stance, Josie was assured and kept the envelope away. After

breakfast, Josie went to check in on Paul. Paul was taken good care of by the servants, who were more dedicated

than the caretakers. Not only that, she could visit him whenever she wanted. So, she was extremely grateful to

Dexter for that. “Dad, can you feel it? The Russells treat me well. Don’t worry about me.” Sitting beside the bed,

Josie held Paul’s hand and mumbled, “Please wake up soon. Dexter’s grandpa is old and lonely. If you regain

consciousness, he must be glad to have someone to chat with. Last time, he asked me what your occupation was

before you fell ill. I told him proudly that you were a great doctor who has served the poor and sick for many

years.” “By the way, you might not know that Dexter’s father passed away long ago. Dexter is a cold person. How

came to knock on the door. “Mrs. Russell, the car is ready. It’s time to go.” By tradition, the Russell family would
