Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Ashley endorsed Fetta’s wedding ring and needed to choose the right wedding dress to make a promotional video. He was merely dropping Ashley off there.

As for why the media publicized it, it must be the company’s tactic to increase Ashley’s popularity.

Henry himself knew that such publicity would definitely cause a misunderstanding for Josic.

But he had already explained the in and out to her. As long as Josie trusted him, it shouldn’t be an issue.

Henry rubbed his eyebrows irritably. He looked up at Josie’s rental apartment, turned around, and left.

He must have gone insane.

Meanwhile, Josie was hiding behind the curtains at home and was relieved to see Henry leave.

Buzz! The phone was vibrating.

Josie picked it up and looked at it. It was a message from Samuel. It read, [Princess Josie, you owe me two meals. I’d better pick you up in the moming. Samuel]

“When did he get my phone number?” Josie wondered.

Josie sat exhausted at the head of the bed while holding the divorce certificate. She stayed silent for a long time.

She was finally free!

Josie closed her swollen eyes and curled up on the bed, holding herself tightly.

Josie, don’t be stupid,” she thought to herself.

Her mind continued to wander off. Jo, you’re the continuation of our love. Mom and Dad love you forever. Jo!”

Originally, Josie had a sweet home. Although the family was not rich, they were living a carefree life.

Every day, her mother would hum music and dance around the house, like a lark.

The family always bathed under the sun while enjoying the breeze in the field. Sometimes, they would even go for a road trip to the sea All the memories flashed across Josie’s mind over and over again like scenes of a movie, Tears always streaked down her cheeks whenever she dwelled on the past and inadvertently soaked her hair.

“Have I done something wrong? Is that why God is punishing me and making me lonely? Dad, Mom... Josie thought.

Josie remembered how her mind went all blank, and her ears began to buzz after the huge impact during the accident.

All the nightmares began from then on.

“Dad, mom, please don’t go. Don’t leave me, please.”

She kept praying and pleading, but all were unheard.

No one came to save them.

There was no one around.

There are shreds of evidence that someone had been tampering with Mr. Gibson’s car. We cannot rule out the possibility of Chapter 27 homicide, so...

“Don’t trigger the child anymore. Please don’t mention the accident in front of Josie in the future.”

John took Josie home. The sorrow aged him that night.

Even if he didn’t get along with his son, blood still ran thicker than water.

“Dad! Mom!”

In the middle of the night, Josie was woken up by the cold.

It was really cold in the rented apartment.

Josie slowly opened her eyes. She stood up with trembling fingers and poured herself a glass of hot water. After taking painkillers, she wrapped the quilt around her body.

The wind blew outside the window. The roaring cold wind made everyone shudder.

Josie held the thermos in her hand, but her hands were still trembling from the cold air.

She and Henry were sleeping on the same bed within those three years of marriage. Even if they had no feelings for each other, she could still feel his warmth.

She had long been used to the warmth radiating from him.

“But now...” Josie smiled sadly as she thought. She was in deep distress and felt like she had just been skinned alive.

Josie took out her phone and looked through her album.

There was no photo of the two of them on her phone. Because it was a hidden marriage, they didn’t even take a wedding photo.

The only photo of them together was the one on the marriage certificate.

Josie’s fingers were a little numb. She caressed the photo of her wearing a white shirt on a red background. Her smile was genuine at that time.

On the contrary, Henry’s eyes were always cold.

“Perhaps this is the best ending. This is good. At least one of us could be relieved,” she thought.

“The CEO of Gibson Corporation was seen bringing his rumored new girlfriend to try on the wedding dress. Should we expect a marriage soon?”

Suddenly, an entertainment headline popped up on her phone.

Josie’s trembling fingers suddenly froze. She reached out uncontrollably and opened the news.

In the photo, Henry accompanied Ashley into a private wedding dress brand store, which Josie knew.

She always passed by there on her way to work. Sometimes, she would stop there too. She was very envious of the woman browsing the wedding dress inside.

She always looked at the wedding dress in the window with yearning.

She and Henry were secretly married, so wedding dresses were useless to her.

Josie tossed the phone away and began to cry.

At that moment, she felt so aggrieved.

12:48 Wed, 8 May M Chapter 27 Henry had given Ashley everything he had been denying her of.

Henry never cared about her grievances because he didn’t love her.

But because he cared about Ashley, he was willing to give everything to her, including a man’s lifelong commitment to a woman.

Josie could do nothing but laugh at her own pathetic life.

Her life was patently ridiculous.

She had been living a pathetic life for the past three years.

Her fingers began to hurt again. Every joint was aching.

Josie glanced at the hot water in her hand. She had only taken her painkiller for less than an hour. “Has the effect diminished already?”

She really needed to take good care of her body.

Josie couldn’t fall back to sleep anymore in the middle of the night. She took three painkillers pills thus she could wait for the doctor in the Hofcaster Hospital to start to work.

At Hofcaster Hospital, a middle–aged doctor scolded Josie with a frown, “Ms. Yates, you shouldn’t take painkillers like they are sugar.

Josie sat quietly, her fingers still feeling a little numb.

“You should be very clear about the symptoms of acute promyelocytic leukemia M3. You may have nosebleeds, fatigue, palpitations, shock, and heart failure.”

Josie trembled and nodded.

“Ms. Yates, please forgive me for my bad tone. Dr. Johnstone is my mentor. He passed your case to me, so I need to be responsible for you. Do you want to live??

Dr. Johnstone was the family doctor of the Gibson family.

“Doctor, I do want to live.” Josie nodded.

The doctor sighed. “Be sure to avoid injury. This kind of injury on your forehead may kill you, you know?”

Josie nodded.

She had no other choice but to be obedient.

She wanted to live.

She was still breathing now because her parents sacrificed their lives for her.

“Keep warm. Don’t catch a cold. Always wear a mask, and pay attention to your nutrition intake...”

As usual, the doctor gave instructions to her.

Josie listened obediently.

“Can you be hospitalized tomorrow? I need to run a lumbar puncture first.”

Josie nodded. She had divorced, and now she had free time.

As soon as Josie left the hospital, she received a call from Samuel.

12:48 Wed, 8 May Chapter 27 ed, b “Where are you? When will you treat me to dinner?” Samuel asked proudly.

“You.. What do you want to eat?” Josie tightened her collar.

It was so cold.

“I’m going to pick you up.”

After Samuel hung up the phone, Josie was still a little confused. She hadn’t told Samuel about her position yet.

As expected, Samuel called back soon.

Josie wanted to laugh. I’m near Hofcaster Hospital.”

“What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?” asked Samuel.

“Okay, I’ll be right there. Wait for me for ten minutes.”

Samuel was always acting rashly. He arrived at the scene ten minutes after hanging up the phone.

Josie looked at Samuel, who rushed in by bike in a hurry, and her mind went blank.

“What are you waiting for? Come up. Samuel put the helmet on Josie’s head and motioned her to get on the bike.

Josie was afraid of taking private cars, but she had never ridden a bike before.

“I–Is it safe?” Josie asked cautiously.

“You’re still so afraid of death, little princess. Samuel thought it was funny.

Josie’s breaths stopped. Samuel’s words had obviously poked into her wounds.

She was really afraid of death now, Una curvy para el Alfa
