It was late after Josie finished unpacking her things. After Madelyn left, the former was so tired that she did not want to

Josie lay down and fell asleep after she made the bed.
Her phone kept vibrating, but she could not hear it.
The next morning, Josie woke up and found more than a dozen missed calls on her phone.
They were all from Henry.
Josie’s heart tightened. She called Henry back, tapping on her phone screen with trembling fingers, but no one answered.
Josie did not know why Henry suddenly called her so many times. She thought, “Is he reminding me to go to the City Hall today!
Josie rubbed her eyebrows and got up to wash.
Buzz!
The phone rang again.
Josie answered, “Hello? What time are we meeting at the City Hall?”
“Come home! I feel horrible…” Henry’s voice was hoarse on the other side of the phone. Instead of explaining anything, he merely ordered Josie to come home and told her that he felt horrible, and then he hung up the phone.
Josie was stunned for a moment and then called back. Henry did not answer the phone anymore.
She wondered, “What happened?
Josie glanced at the time and thought Henry should have arrived at the company at this time.
She got up in a hurry and went downstairs before hailing a taxi, which, for the record, was something she seldom did.
Grabbing the seatbelt nervously, she dared not sit alone in the back seat.
The driver was in shock when he saw Josie, who was trembling. That was the first time he saw someone so afraid of riding in a car. He even began to doubt his driving skills,
Josie got out of the car with trembling legs, squatted by the roadside, and vomited.
There was nothing she could vomit, and she felt a sore pain in her throat as the stomach acid burned her esophagus.
She had always been like this. Whenever she was too scared and nervous, she would feel sick.
Then, she ran home with a pale face. When she opened the door, she was suddenly stunned.
Josie thought, “Why did I come home in such a panic?”
She and Henry did not have any felationship anymore after all.
The password lock on the door had not been changed, and Josie could still access it with her fingerprints.
