Chapter 116
Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry)
Chapter 116 Jo... Donât leave me, Henry croaked out.
Josie gave Cecilia a call, who was frantically looking for Henry in the hospital.
Then Josie opened the door and dragged Henry into the living room. She dampened a towel and put it on his forehead.
âJo. Henry grabbed Josieâs wrist and refused to let go.
âMr. Gibson, Cecilia will be coming to pick you up soon. Have a good rest. Josie glanced at the time and decided to pack her things.
Sebastian and his assistant were still waiting for her downstairs.
âJo... I donât feel well.â Henryâs voice was hoarse, and he still wouldnât release his grip on Josieâs wrist.
âCecilia will be here soon.â Josie tried to push Henry away as she said, âYou have to take good care of yourself. We have already divorced, so I have no obligation to take care of you anymore. Do you understand?â
âJosie...â Henryâs head was throbbing with pain, but he was much stronger than Josie.
He pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
âHenry!â Josie tried to struggle out of his embrace, but her movements caused Henryâs wound to open up. Immediately, the white gauze was ked with his blood.
âLetâs remarry, please?â Henry choked out.
He didnât know why he was so obsessed with marrying her again.
âI canât mess with Quinton yet, Josie. Spike favors Quinton the most. If Quinton gets jailed because of you, Spike will go mad. I canât... I canât protect you all the time. Iâm afraid of what will happen when youâre out of my sight.â
Henryâs voice was very weak. Josie was in his arms, yet she couldnât even hear him clearly.
Nevertheless, Josie didnât want to hear about it either. âHenry!â she warned.
âJo, Iâm doing it for your sake.â Perhaps because of his high fever, Henry thought he was dreaming, so he didnât hold back his words.
âYour parentsâ death has something to do with Spike. Over the years, he has wanted to get rid of you. Jo, I want to protect you. I just... I just used the wrong way. Your parentsâ death has always weighed on me. Sometimes, I feel like Iâm going crazy...â
Josie slowly clenched her hands and looked at Henry with red-rimmed eyes. âI just want to know if my parentsâ car accident has anything to do with you. Were you involved? Tell me the truth.â
âNo...â Henry shook his head desperately.
Spike was a lunatic.
The year Hayden got into the accident/ Spike found Henry.
âI wish I had no relation to him. If we werenât related, could things be different between the two of us?â
Henry was shivering. His wound was torn open again, and his fever wouldnât subside.
1/4 12:50, Thu, 9 May Chapter 116 Josieâs eyes quivered as she felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a knife.
âCan I really believe his words?â she wondered.
âI hate myself too... If I didnât have that madmanâs blood running in my veins, everything would be different...â
Spike had been taking advantage of that fact all this while.
The person Henry hated most was himself.
It was not that he was insecure. Rather, he was too sensitive.
Whenever Josie said anything that triggered him, he would think of the family he came from.
He had been abandoned, and he was threatened and used by Spike. For the rest of his life, he would not be able to escape from the confinement of their blood relations. Though he desperately tried to walk away from the dark part of his life, he couldnât.
âJosie, I tried very hard. I tried hard not to fall in love with you....â.
Before he got married, Henry had always been firm about what he wanted to do. He wanted to protect Josie. Whether it was out of kindness or consideration of their siblinghood, it was just something he had to do.
It was Josie who wanted to marry him, so he did what she wanted. She shouldnât have expected more from him.
He neglected Josie too much while receiving so much from her.
âBut I was wrong, Jo. I love you. Give me another chance. I will deal with Spike for you. I will solve all the problems for you. You just need to stay with me...
As long as Josie listened to him, he would be able to handle everything.
âHenry, you are too arrogant.â Josie took a deep breath and pushed Henry away.
Henry rubbed his temple in distress. In truth, he didnât know what he was talking about.
âWhat on earth am I doing he thought.
Just then, Henry fell from the couch and collapsed onto the floor, groaning. âJo, it hurts so badly.â
Josie had her hands over her eyes as she sat by the couch.
She was at a loss about what she should do.
Gathering her senses, Josie stood up and tried to pull ry up. Till take you to the hospital.â
Henry reached out to grab Josieâs hand. As soon as he got up, he pulled her close once again. âGive me one last chance, okay? If I make you angry and sad again, I will never pester you. I swear.â
Josie bit her lips and looked away. âHenry, itâs too late.â
Josie brushed Henry off and went to open the door for Cecilia.
Jo.â Henry clutched the edge of Josieâs clothes as his eyes turned red. âDonât abandon me again.â
He didnât want to go through that again.
âI canât change my family background, and I canât change the blood flowing in my veins. But Spike has nothing to do with 2/4 Chapter 116 me. He really has nothing to do with me. He is a crazy man. Please, donât hate me.â
Henry had always been afraid that Josie would find out about his background. He kept it from her because he was scared she would hate him.
He feared that she would also dislike him because she hated Spike.
âHenry, there is no hatred between us. I never attributed the death of my parents to you. I wonât hate you if you really have nothing to do with the incident. But Henry. We divorced because we have no feelings for each other.â
Henry didnât love her, and she had long lost hope.
âWhen I needed you, you were next to another woman. When I treated you wholeheartedly, you trampled over me. Iâm not telling you this because Iâm still expecting something from you. I want to tell you that a missed opportunity is lost forever.â
Josie let her hands droop weakly as she slowly stepped back âI did not feel happy for once when I was with you. Sorry, but I can no longer give you another chance because Iâve developed feelings for someone else. Iâm sorry.â
If she gave Henry another chance, it would be unfair to Samuel.
âNo matter what reasons you have, heâs the one who saved me when I was on the brink of death. Heâs the one who stayed by my side in my weakest moments. Iâm human, so my heart is capable of being warm.â
With that, Josie smiled bitterly. âI guess weâre not fated to be together.â
This was the farthest they could go.
At that moment, Josie felt relieved.
Even though Henry said he loved her, her heart no longer fluttered like it used to.
Henry sat on the ground stiffly and watched Josie walk away slowly.
Henry couldnât deceive himself anymore at that point.
Josie really doesnât love me anymore, he thought.
Suddenly, Henry had the urge to go berserk. âYou can only be mine...â he mumbled.
âHenry, I will find the evidence so Spike can get the punishment he deserves. Hopefully, this really has nothing to do with you.â
With that said, Josie turned around and opened the door.
Outside, Cecilia stood there with red-rimmed, panicked eyes. She had just gone to the toilet and fallen asleep afterward, and Henry was no longer in the ward when she woke up.
âMr. Gibson! Youâre in a critical situation. Why did you leave the hospital?â Cecilia asked fretfully, Josie...
Henry stood up, vision turning dark.
Josie paused outside the door and looked back at Henry.

In return, Josie advised Henry. âMr. Gibson, I hope you donât hurt me again and make me hate you.â
âDonât go overboard,â she continued in her heart.
I wonât...â Henry hurried toward the door anxiously, calling out, âJosic, I will change Josie did not look back, but she couldnât help but burst into tears when she entered the elevator.
âHow ridiculous. Henry actually said that he loves me,â she mused inwardly.
She had thought she would never be able to hear that from him.
