Chapter 192
"Call the family doctor," Dexter instructed in a cold tone, casting a warning glance at Joel, as if to convey, "This is the first and last time you do this to me".
Joel was clearly intimidated by Dexter. He straightened up, trying to explain, "I had everything under control. I wouldn’t let her be— "
Before Joel could finish his sentence, Dexter mercilessly grabbed a chair from the ground and hurled it at him.
I flinched in fear, my breaths becoming rapid.
Joel managed to dodge in time. He stared at Dexter in disbelief, his own breath quickening. It was evident he was disappointed and upset by Dexter’s action.
"Dexter! You’ve been treating me like crap over and over again for the sake of that woman! I’m telling you, I’ve had enough! Damn it!"
Dexter stood still, his fingers trembling slightly. Joel turned away and left, clearly disappointed and angry.
I thought they had a falling out, but soon after, Joel returned with a doctor, his head lowered as he carried a medicine box.
Joel huffed and stood aside, sulking. Dexter gave him the cold shoulder and had the doctor examine my injuries.
After examining the sole of my foot and cleaning the wounds, the doctor administered a tetanus shot.
"Be careful not to get it wet for the next few days," The doctor advised before he left.
