Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 2

"Henry... It hurts bad." Josie's voice was hoarse. She would never trouble Henry under normal circumstances, but the pain was too overwhelming to endure.

"It's just a stomachache. Drink some hot water. A celebrity from my company got into a car accident, so I need to go and check it out. Be good." Henry emphasized the word "be good" and left without another glance.

Unable to take the pain, Josie passed out.

Before losing consciousness, Josie was wondering whether the reason Henry could leave her so readily was due to her sensibility.

Meanwhile, at the Hofcaster Hospital.

Ashley finally came out of the emergency room at twelve o'clock.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Ashley's pretty face was covered with tears.

"Henry, I thought I'd never see you again." With that, tears started streaming down her face.

"What happened?" Henry frowned and questioned Ashley's agent, Thomas Carden.

"The driver was distracted and crashed into the guardrail, but it wasn't a big issue. Only her leg was injured. The doctor had already treated it, so there wouldn't be any scars."

Henry was relieved. "Fire the driver."

"Mr. Gibson, please stay with Ashley for a while longer. She was frightened from the accident." Thomas hurriedly left with the assistant to make space for them to be alone.

Buzz!

Henry's phone kept vibrating.

"Henry, do you have something urgent?" Ashley cried as she held Henry tightly. She was frightened and figured it was a good opportunity to further her relationship with Henry.

"It's nothing." Henry glanced at his phone and noticed it was Josie's number.

Frowning slightly, Henry was surprised by Josie's thoughtlessness.

She would never call him under usual circumstances.

Josie had always been obedient since she was young in Henry's memory.

He didn't have any concept of marriage. With her obedience, sensibility, and unclingy behavior, Josie was a suitable wife candidate.

Moreover, he had a reason to marry Josie.

"But your phone keeps ringing. How about answering the phone first?" Ashley suggested, showcasing her sensibility.

"It's nothing urgent." Henry turned off the phone and took hold of Ashley's wheelchair. "I'll take you home."

"I'm sure there isn't anything serious with Josie," he thought.

"Henry, I'm scared. Can you stay here with me?"

Henry frowned slightly, hesitating over her request.
