Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter)
Chapter 53 He Hit Her

"Nicole, calm down. That place is no longer safe. You should leave immediately for a hotel or your parents' house. I'm going over now."

While speaking, she walked briskly to the car. The windows were rolled down, revealing Dexter's handsome but exhausted face. "Who are you speaking to?" he asked, frowning. It's Dexter! He's back!

Josie immediately lit up and got into the car.

"Dexter, can you send me to a place?"

Ten minutes later, Dexter finally understood the situation. He pinched his forehead and said, "According to you, Justin is a gambler at wits' end. Now that his final hope was destroyed, he might go to extremes - tonight is the perfect example. Even if you help her now, she will still be in danger. I think you should call the police."

Josie was comforting Nicole through text messages. "You're so callous. I don't even know how serious her injuries are. Yet, you're asking me to tell her to find the police instead. That's so inhumane!" she protested without even lifting her head.

She felt slightly guilty. If it weren't for her, Nicole wouldn't have been hit. Hence, she was determined to see Nicole.

The street lights poured in through the windows on her face that were blazing with determination. After seeing that, Dexter relented. "Alright. Speed up," he informed the driver.

Nicole took Josie's advice and went to a hotel. When Josie arrived, it took a while before she dared to open the door. Through the slit, she saw a man next to Josie and immediately became vigilant. "This is..." Josie quickly explained, "This is my friend. He's a good person - you don't have to be afraid of him."

Finally, Nicole opened the door.

The hotel wasn't a good-quality one. Dexter looked rather obtrusive, standing there in his designer's suit. Nicole was heavily injured, with bruises all over her body. There was an empty patch of hair on her head.

Josie clenched her fists tightly. "Just wait! I will definitely take revenge for you!"

"You're pretty pumped up, aren't you? Do you think you can injure him with such a small body?" Dexter doused her flames coldly.

Josie rolled her eyes at him. If you have nothing nice to say, you can just shut up!

Disappointment filled Nicole's face. "He's right. I don't want you to risk your life for me, Josie. I'm utterly disappointed in him; it never occurred to me that he would hit me. I just want to stay away from him, as far as possible, and have a clean break."

"But what should we do? No one understands him better than you. It's just a matter of time before he finds you. He is determined to marry you to bear his debt."

"I also don't know what to do. I'll lose my job if this goes on."

Josie paced around anxiously while Dexter crossed his arms in front of his chest as he leaned against the wardrobe. "You're making me dizzy."

"Mr. Russell, help us out! Can you bear to see such an innocent woman injured by a jerk?" she said in annoyance.

"Just leave this city. Since your parents know what is going on, I'm sure they won't blame you," he suggested lazily, looking at the sobbing Nicole. "No matter how capable he is, he can't possibly fly to another city to look for you. On top of that, he's full of debt."
