Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209 

“Her feelings for me is long gone,” Henry said in a deep voice again. “Take good care of yourself. I can’t come to see you frequently recently. Zachary is now siding with Spike. He’s been keeping an eye on me all day. I believe you can understand.” 

Ashley looked in the direction of the door in a panic and did see Zachary. 

Ashley instinctively tightened her grip on the blanket, and her breathing trembled with fear. 

She thought, “It’s Zachary…” 

She was not recovering well now, and she couldn’t escape here. 

“Don’t be afraid. I will protect you.” Henry looked at Ashley comfortingly. “Ashley, do you know how worried! was when you were found in the cellar of the orphanage? Actually, I never forget what happened back then. It wasn’t until something happened to you that I really understand that you always have a place in my heart.” 

Ashley’s emotion swayed back and forth between terror and surprise. She looked at Henry in shock, and her eyes gradually turned red. “Henry.” 

Henry patted Ashley’s head to comfort her. “Take good care of yourself. Listen to me. When you recover and are discharged from the hospital, Iwill give you an explanation after the divorce procedure between Josie and me is completed, okay?” 

Ashley nodded with tears in her eyes.. 

She had been waiting for so long. She thought, “Has this day finally come? Henry won’t lie to me, v 

, will he?” 

“I’m leaving now. Take good care of yourself.” 

Henry got up and was about to leave. 

“Henry…” Ashley called nervously. “I’m not dreaming, am I?” 

Silly girl.” Henry turned around and smiled at her. 

Ashley breathed a sigh of relief. “Henry, when will you come back?” 

“I’Ilcome to see you every day, but I can’t stay too long with that crazy guy watching.” Henry said and left. 

1/5 

Ashley’s heartbeat accelerated. A man like Henry suddenly said that she had a place in his heart. Even if it was a small place, she was satisfied. 

“Thank goodness,” he muttered to himself. 

Tears fell from the corner of her eyes. After trying so hard and being scared for so long, she finally saw hope. 

As long as Henry liked her, even if it was just a little bit, she was sure that she could marry him and become his 

wife. 

As long as she became the wife of Gibson Corporation’s owner, she would like to see how those who used to look down on her and bully her could mock her. 

Outside the ward 

Henry’s eyes were instantly full of coldness as he frowned at Zachary. 

Zachary smiled, took out a wet wipe, and handed it to Henry. “You’ve worked hard, Mr. Gibson.” 

“Humph.” Henry wiped his hands and snorted coldly. He ignored Zachary and left quickly with big strides. He didn’t want to stay there any second longer. 

“Don’t be angry. If you don’t do this, how can you let her trust you?” Zachary had asked Henry to pretend to like 

Ashley. 

Women were brainless when they were in love, so Ashley might give herself away. 

“Keep an eye on the hospital. Once Ashley wakes up, Hazel’s people will definitely come to her. For Hazel, the better I treat Ashley, the more valuable Ashley is.” Henry said reluctantly. 

Zachary caught up with him with a smile. “Don’t feel wronged. Although Ashley is not a good person, she looks good, so you have nothing to lose.” 

Henry glared at Zachary coldly and said, “Shut up if you don’t know how to speak.” 

Zachary obediently shut up for three seconds and didn’t intend to let Henry go. “Bestdes, you have wronged me for so many years. How many times have I almost died in your hands? How can you feel wronged for such a 

trivial matter?” 

Henry couldn’t snd it and stopped in his tracks. “Did you not go to school?” 

2/5 

“Are you looking down upon me? My father is a junior high school teacher!” Zachary didn’t understand what Henry meant, but he knew it must not be something good. 

“So you only graduated from junior high school?” Henry said with a fake smile. 

“High school! I dropped out of school.” Zachary was indignant. 

“That’s still a junior high school diploma.” Henry laughed. 

“Mr. Gibson, I found that you’re really mean.” Zachary also snorted. 

“So, have you ever read an article in junior high school about a character who talks too much and ends up being hated by others?” Henry spoke again. 

Henry was so mean that he could scold others without using any swear words. 

Zachary was so angry that he couldn’t say a word, so he simply shut up. 

The thing he regretted most now was dropping out of school! 

His father said that he was a smart child and could go to the best university if he studied hard. “Let me tell you. When I was in school, even if I didn’t study and I was rebellious, I was one of the three top scorers in my class.” 

Zachary regretted it. He wondered if his father would be able to rest in peace if he had studied hard. 

Zachary lowered his head and stopped talking, looking elsewhere. 

The path of life was chosen by oneself. 

One should think about the consequences when one was on impulse. If one regretted it in the future, there would be no other way. 

Henry glanced at Zachary and didn’t argue with him again. It should be Zachary’s sore point. 

Now, he didn’t hate Zachary so much. He was just a poor guy. 

Zachary used to say that they were similar, and Henry was very angry as he could not believe he was such a crazy 

person. 

Now he found that he and Zachary might be really similar. 

3/5 

None of them was suitable for Josie, nor could they bring happiness to Josie. 

However, Zachary had known himself well from the beginning and remained clear–headed. 

But Henry didn’t. He was selfish, willful, and paranoid. 

He thought that his love was protection and that Josie couldn’t survive without him. 

Humans should never be too complacent. 

in this world, everyone could actually survive without another person. 

“Would you like to see Josie? If you miss her, just go and secretly take a look at her. I’ll accompany you, okay?” Zachary asked in a low voice. 

Henry stopped walking and hesitated for a long time. 

“Okay.” 

In Josie’s ward.
