Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177
Samuel frowned and pulled Henry’s collar. “Do you want to imprison her to death?”
“What can you do!” Henry pushed Samuel’s hand away. “At least I can keep her by my side through my means. What about you? How long can you love her as long as she remains my legal wite?”
Henry seemed to be deliberately provoking Samuel.
Loosening his clenched fists slowly, Samuel sneered, “Henry, you are so pathetic. I pity you”
Henry’s eyes turned red, and he gazed at Samuel in front of him. This time, he was no longer so impulsive as to punch the other party.
Do you think you’re the only one who has means? If it wasn’t for fear of hurting Jo. I would have taken her away from you already! I warn you, Henry. No matter what means you use to trap her. I won’t let her come back to you, Samuel threatened in a cold voice.
Henry lowered his head, chuckled while shaking his head, and said nothing
“I hope I can do that, he thought.
Meanwhile, Josie slept for a long time in her ward, and when she woke up, there was no one inside.
“Samuel… Josie muttered, feeling anxious subconsciously.
Ever since she got sick, she was particularly reliant on the people she wanted to rely on
Just then, the phone on the bedside table vibrated.
Unable to get up, Josie raised her hand to grope for the phone, but instead, she toppled the cup over, and it fell to the ground
Immediately, Josie burst into tears and was on the verge of a men tal breakdown.
“I don’t have the strength, and my body hurts so much. Every bone and piece of skin of my body hurt. My mind also fee woozy, she thought.
“Jo.” Finally, Josie touched her phone, and glancing at the screen, she realized it was Charles..
“Tell me….” Josie murmured, too tired to speak.
“I have the results of everything you asked me to investigate. Through some trickery, the other party confessed that Ashley had bribed her, so Ashley knew the condition and cause of Henry’s bipolar disorder. She also gave Ashley ideas on how to approach Henry and make him notice her.”
Thus, everything was caused by Ashley.
“I have the evidence for that and also the evidence that Ashley bribed the psychiatrist. How are you going to thank me?“ Charles said with a smile, trying to claim the credit.
Josie also smiled, but she felt her eyes burning, and her mind was a mess.
She had a high fever, and it was not subsiding.
“Charles… Keep the evidence well. If she survived, she would definitely show everyone Ashley’s true colors.
However, though she had the desire to do so, she was powerless.

“Where are you? Why do you sound so weak? Are you sick? Do you want me to go to you and take you out to eat something delicious?” Charles tried to comfort Josie.
“Charlie… Help me investigate Ashley and the family who adopted her back then again. I want evidence… Josie didn’t have the strength to investigate further, so she had to ask Charles for help.
Although Charles might not be able to help her with other things, he could definitely find a way to help investigate Ashley. Jeremy was framed by Ashley, and she forced him to his death.
The reason Zachary got to where he was now was to find out the truth and clear his father’s name.
Then, his late father could also rest in peace.
On the other end of the phone, Charles was stunned. After all, Josie rarely called him Charlie. If she did, she must have something to ask of him, and he could never refuse her request.
“Okay, I’ll help you investigate, What rewards will I get if I find something? Charles deliberately teased Josie.
“If you discover something, I’ll treat you to a big meal…” If she was still alive.
“Okay, it’s a deal. However, Charles was still a little worried, so he continued. “Josic, are you really okay? Are you affected by the matters regarding Ashley? Don’t be influenced by her. She’s so evil. Maybe she deliberately acted like that to influence public opinion.
Yeah, I’m fine.”
“Okay, have a good rest. Let’s meet in two days, and I’ll give you the evidence.”
“No need… I’ll leave it with you first. When needed, help me hand it to the police or… release it to the public. I will… contact you again, Josie uttered, choking up.
She would be making an appointment for treatment next month. Neither she nor the doctor was confident in whether treatment would succeed.
No one knew how long she could live with her condition.
After hanging up the phone, Josie closed her eyes and felt them burning.
“Jo. Samuel went back to the ward and gasped. “Do you want some water?”
However, Josie didn’t speak. She propped herself up and sat up before suddenly hugging Samuel. “Don’t go…”
Samuel’s heart ached, and he regretted leaving her alone for a while. “Why are you so hot?”
“Did the fever not subside, or did it rise again?” he wondered.
Immediately, Samuel called the doctor and washed the towel to wipe Josie’s face. “Jo, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?”
Josie had no appetite, plus she would vomit after eating. “Samuel I’m afraid… Don’t go.”
She was afraid of death.
She was also very timid.
In truth, she was terrified of death.
“I had a nightmare just now.” Josie had never opened up to anyone and told them about her parents’ car accident back then,

but with Samuel, she felt she could tell him everything.
“There was a car accident. I sat in the back, my parents sat in the front, and the car was knocked over. There was a lot of blood… Dad was stuck in his spot by the seat belt and steering wheel, so he couldn’t escape. He and Mom desperately pushed
me out of the window.”
She was covered in blood, and she didn’t know whether it was from her father or mother,
“Samuel… I don’t want to die.
“I do not want to die. I’m afraid of dying, as Dad and Mom exchanged their lives for mine, I want to live. I want to live a happy, ordinary, and healthy life,” Josie thought desperately.
“But I also had a beautiful dream. I dreamed I was standing among the flowers and under the sunshine…”
Someone accompanied her for the rest of her life, and they grew old together.
She felt so happy.
What she wanted had always been simple, but Henry couldn’t give it to her.
She and Henry were both patients. They both desired warmth, but they were sick and desperately tried to absorb warmth from others, but they themselves were icy cold.
Therefore, the closer they got to each other, the more pain they caused each other.
In the end, they would be hurt all over and die.
You re not going to die. That’s nonsense.” Samuel smiled and stroked Josie’s head. This type of leukemia has the highest cure rate, and since modern medicine is so advanced, it is possible to be cured with one treatment.”
Samuel pretended to speak in a relaxed tone, as he didn’t want Josie to feel too much pressure.
“Besides, I’ll be with you always. As long as you don’t push me away, I will do anything.” Samuel continued as he squatte beside Josie, his eyes red.
He didn’t need a title nor for them to be together openly.
He could give up on everything. All he wanted was Josie.
“Are you an angel sent by my parents?” Josie smiled a genuine smile.
“Possible.” Samuel raised his eyebrows narcissistically.
“It’s all my fault for not noticing you earlier, Josie sobbed as her hot tears fell on the back of her hand.
“Why didn’t I look back and notice Samuel when I was healthy? This is so unfair to him. If I die, what will he do? I don’t want to leave Samuel alone,” she thought sadly.
“It’s all my fault. I started a relationship with you, but I can’t give you anything”
Guilt overwhelmed her. She selfishly wanted to continue the happiness she felt being with Samuel, but she couldn’t give him anything in return.
