Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223 

Madelyn’s body slowly relaxed, and she let Yuri hold her. 

She did not know what to say, but she would be lying if she said she was not moved at all. 

This was Yuri from Clusia Corporation after all. 

Madelyn always felt like she was dreaming, and things felt surreal. 

Yuri was really tired and soon fell asleep. 

Madelyn carefully turned over and looked at Yuri’s facial features. 

His eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, and his facial features were exquisite. 

When Yuri and Samuel stood together, they were very eye–catching. 

Besides, there had never been any gossip about Yuri’s private life. 

This man was rich, handsome, and free of rumors. 

Early the following morning, Ashley snuck to Mount Kismet, Hofcaster, without telling anyone. 

“Sir, I’ve been troubled by spirits lately.” Ashley sat nervously in front of the priest. 

The priest glanced at Ashley quietly and said in a deep voice, “Your body is full of negative energy. What happened?” 

Ashley looked at the priest nervously and nodded. “It’s-” 

“Miss, you’re young, but the spirit following you is full of murderous aura. Who did you offend?” The priest closed his eyes and touched Ashley’s pulse point on her wrist. “Now, the negative energy has begun to affect your body.” 

Ashley panicked. “What should I do? Do you have a way to solve it, priest?” 

She would alsee no matter how much it cost. 

“Go to the church on Mount Kismet. You can confess to God what you have done. If you truly regret it, God will

help you eliminate the evil spirits. Remember this. Don’t hope to get lucky and not tell the truth,” the priest told 

her. 

Ashley got up nervously and looked at the church of Mount Kismet. 

Perhaps she came early this morning, and there were not many people. 

Moreover, only one person was allowed to enter the chapel at a time. The next person could enter only after the previous one finished praying. 

Ashley breathed a sigh of relief. She went into the chapel and looked around to ensure that no one followed her inside before she finally knelt. 

“God, I… Many years ago, a teacher adopted me, but his family conditions were limited. I didn’t want to stay like that for the rest of my life. I wanted to be like others in a rich family. I just wanted to change my life. I wanted to get rid of them and leave the house, so I lied to the police. I said he… abused me. I didn’t expect things to escalate. I just wanted to leave that house,” Ashley told the holy statue her secret that was buried in her heart for 

many years. 

It was she who framed Zachary’s father and caused the destruction of his family. 

At Hofcaster Hospital, Josie was finally transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward. 

Samuel stayed in the hospital all the time and did not dare to leave for a moment. 

Josie leaned quietly against the headboard of the bed. She could try to consume some liquid food now. 

Tania made some gruel and sent it here early in the morning. 

“Is it hot?” Samuel blew on it and tried the temperature to ensure it would not scald the tongue before feeding it 

to Josie. 

Josie wanted to snicker. Samuel was too cautious. 

“No, it’s not.” Josie shook her head. 

Samuel smiled. “What are you laughing at?” 

“You. Mr. Turser, you are too nervous.” Josie reached out and wanted to eat it by herself. 

Samuel dodged her hand and refused. “Of course!”

Josie had to compromise. “I want more.” 

Samuel smiled. “What did you say to me that day at the intensive care unit?” 

Josie feigned ignorance. “What?” 

“Josie, don’t play dumb!” Samuel put the gruel aside and said, “Tell me.” 

Josie laughed at his threat. “What did I say? I merely made a hand sign to tell you to go back and rest earlier.” 

Samuel was a little disappointed. He picked up the gruel again and doubted that he had misread it. 

Josie drank the gruel quietly and whispered, “The doctor said I am recovering well and can bear a child in a year.” 

Samuel was stunned and did not know what Josie meant. 

“Once I’m discharged from the hospital and finished dealing with those trivial matters, let’s date.” In fact, Josie had already skipped over the dating part and wanted to marry Samuel already. 

Samuel was a little shocked. Josie had taken the initiative to ask for a date. 

“No, I haven’t officially courted you yet. When you are discharged from the hospital, I will court you first. You can say yes then” Samuel said in a low voice and lay exhausted by the bed. 

“Are you tired? Go to sleep. I’ll watch you.” Josie rubbed Samuel’s head. Looking at him so tired, she felt sorry for him. 

“Okay, I’ll sleep for a while. If you want to drink water, just wake me up,” Samuel said groggily. 

This time, he must be able to have a good dream. 

He finally got what he wanted. 

It had been ten years. 

He harbored feelings for her for ten years, and these feelings were still the same as they were on the first day. It never changed. 

Samuel did not even expect to get her one day, but he did not regret his persistence all these years. 

He liked Josie and nothing else mattered. 

Before Josie returned to the Gibson residence, he had already fallen for her at first sight. 

Many times, Samuel dreamed back to when he was still a teenager. He watched the girl dancing on the beach and picking up the shells in his dream, and it kept repeating. 

Josie was his obsession and also his light. 

Josie was the only person he truly loved, and he wished for nothing else. 

Josie was discharged half a month later. 

Henry and Zachary also came, but they did not show up in front of her.
