Dexter stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, his shirt already removed. A deep laceration ran across his broad shoulders, oozing blood and looking incredibly gnarly.

A doctor soon entered and thoroughly examined the man’s wound, his expression somewhat grim, “Mr. Russell, have you been injured in this same spot before?”

Josie gazed calmly at Dexter, only to hear him give a hum of acknowledgment.

“This might be rather serious. I’ll give you some basic treatment now, but you’ll still need to get to the hospital for an X-ray as soon as possible.”

Alas, Dexter didn’t give a direct answer to that. “Let’s apply the medicine first,” he replied.

As the doctor pulled out a bunch of medicine, Josie couldn’t wait any longer and piped up. “I’ll take over from here. You can leave the room.”

Even though the doctor hesitated, he finally nodded and left after seeing Dexter’s expression change.
