<b>Chapter </b><b>200 </b>
“I don’t know!” Josh said neatly
However, Iughed. “You didn’t know but youe knocking on my door?”
Josh put the chopped vegetables into a bowl forter use. “Your downstairs neighbor, Sophia, told me my girlfriend hase back.”
I was speechless.
I took a sip of coffee and admired Josh’s elegance. Then Josh turned around and looked at me. “What are you
suspecting?”
1 smiled faintly and said, “I suspect… you followed me.”
“Huh?” He frowned slightly.
“Just kidding. I know you don’t have that much free time.” Then I went back into the living room and sat there
drinking coffee.
After a few sips, I put down the cup and scrolled through my phone, but before long I felt my eyelids drooping and slowly drifted to sleep.
1 was dreaming. I dreamed the bald man had captured me and Brannon had asked him to kill me. Seeing a long knife stabbing at me, I shook my head desperately…
“Zoey! Zoey, wake up…”
I was woken up, I suddenly opened my eyes and saw Josh staring at me nervously. Hisrge hands held my head
still.
“Did you have a nightmare?” His voice was low.
<i>I </i>was still in a state of shock from my dream. My breathing was rapid, but when I thought of the bald man who attacked Josh, I grabbed Josh’s hand <b>and </b>said, “The bald man who cornered you that day was one of Brannon’s
men. I’ve seen him.”
Josh’s frown deepened. “How did you know?”
“I have seen him,” I said, squeezing his hand and then slowly letting go.
“Zoe, it is my business. I don’t want you to interfere, understand?” His voice was serious, even stern.
I wanted to say I didn’t want to interfere in his business. I wanted to investigate my father’s death and identally bumped into the bald man.
However, before I could speak, Josh continued, “Brannon is a dangerous man. You must do nothing, understand?”

Josh’s appearance made me nod dumbly. I choked back my words.

He brushed my forehead with his rough fingers and wiped away the sweat that had formed on my forehead from fright. “Come on, get up, drink some water, and let’s eat.”
He got up to leave, but I grabbed him and said, “Josh, you also need to be careful.”
How could I not know how dangerous Brannon was?
He was a major client of thepany. There were also private discussions about how he had made a fortune and
how he had developed in the past few years.
Josh looked at me holding his hand, and his gaze softened. “Yes.”
My mouth moved. He bent to pick me up and sat me down. He stroked my head again.
His movements were indulgent and gentle. It effectively calmed the panic in my dreams.
Josh entered the kitchen again and soon brought out the dishes and the oatmeal. I picked up the water on the
table and took two sips before standing up.
I felt a little light–headed at that moment.
I was sick yesterday. Today, I was running around investigating. Coupled with the nightmare, I felt like I had been
hollowed out.
Josh turned around and seemed to see something was wrong with me. “Dizzy?”
I wanted to force myself to say no, but Josh hade over to support me and led me to the washroom.
After sending me in, he automatically left the room and instructed, “I’ll be outside. Call me if you need anything.”
He probably thought I was going to the bathroom, but I didn’t. Instead, I stood at the sink and looked at myself. I realized my face was a little pale, and I looked terrible. Even my hair was a little messy.
I’m terrible like this. I don’t look like my usual beauty anymore, Josh just saw me like this. He must be disgusted
with me, right?‘ thought I
The thought shed through my mind. I subconsciously tidied my messy hair and rubbed my face,
