Chapter 321 Angela gasped. "All I want is relief from my menstrual cramps. Nothing else really matters to me. I can always rely on painkillers if needed." She was terrified of taking medication.
"Absolutely not!" Dexter and Sheldon exclaimed simultaneously, firmly rejecting her proposal.
"Starting today, I'll ask Joanne to prepare your medicine and meals as per Dr. Larson's prescription. Don't be lazy," Dexter said sharply with a hint of displeasure.

Angela immediately agreed. "Got it. I'll follow your instructions." Having a child wasn't the main concern, but it shouldn't impact her life.
Sheldon left with his belongings after filling out several prescriptions. Only Angela and Dexter remained in the expansive ward.
Dexter examined the prescriptions repeatedly, scrutinizing every detail. He even took photos of them and sent those images to someone.
Since Angela had entered the ward, he hadn't cracked a smile, making it clear that his mood was far from pleasant.

She tried to explain. "I was just speaking thoughtlessly. Maybe Mia doesn't feel that way." Dexter gave her a piercing gaze that made it clear he wouldn't be swayed by her lies.
Realizing he was skeptical of her words, Angela decided to drop the façade. "Zayn is weak, and that's the NO truth. He can't even protect his own fiancée and is too afraid to stand up to his mother. And now, he's involved with another woman. Someone like that isn't worth anyone's time." "Then who do you think is worthy?" Dexter asked casually.
She replied directly, "No one. There aren't many good men in this world..."
Midway through her speech, she noticed she was speaking too fast. She was frustrated and wondered E why she kept making mistakes.
"Well, I'm simply sharing my personal perspective. I still have great respect e for many men, such as...." After much thought, she could only think of Callum and Finn.
