Ex-Husband's Endless Pestering (Josie and Henry) novel Chapter 266

"Silas has been with him for so many years." Josie's voice was hoarse.

"Silas has been with him for too long and has too many secrets on him," Samuel said as he comforted Josie.

"Originally, I was looking forward to a dog-eat-dog situation," Josie smiled bitterly.

She really knew nothing about the darkness. "I can finally understand why Henry is so afraid of Spike."

If not for Henry's weak spot, Henry would be more heartless than Spike.

But it was because she was here...

Josie finally understood Henry's concerns over the years.

Unfortunately, everything was gone.

Her love had long been exhausted and buried in the deep darkness.

Samuel's body stiffened slightly. "H-he has his own reasons."

Samuel didn't want to smear Henry. Samuel would not gain true love from Josie if he did so.

Even if Josie left him one day, he would let her go.

At least he once shared a short moment of happiness with her.

"But we can't turn the clock back for certain things. Not everything lasts forever. I loved him, but not anymore." Josie knew what Samuel was worried about all the time. "Samuel, are you scared? Aren't you worried that I'm a half-hearted person? I may love you today and not love you tomorrow."

Samuel smiled, "No, I'm not worried. I am confident that if you love me even for a moment, you will love me for the rest of your life."

"That's so confident of you," Josie smiled and leaned against Samuel's shoulder.

"Yes," he responded.

Meanwhile, at the Lake House, Henry got a call from Samuel. "Yuri and I looked for them, but we didn't find Hazel," said Samuel.

"Zachary called and said that Spike's men were not the ones who kidnapped Hazel." Henry found himself troubled. He did hate Hazel; above all, he hoped Hazel would get what she deserved.

Still, even if she deserved to die, she should die under the law's ruling instead of someone else's hands.

"Who could it be?" Samuel pondered for a moment before continuing, "Did she go to Ashley's house?"

"Hazel gave Ashley a USB flash drive containing evidence of Spike's crime. I have given it to the police, but if I want him dead, I need more conclusive evidence."

"Did Hazel leave Ashley's house?" Samuel double-checked with him.

"Well, are you suspecting Ashley? She doesn't have the guts." Henry didn't think that way.

"Could Hazel have gone missing on purpose and asked Ashley to hide her, then have Ashley misled us?" Samuel guessed it was Hazel's plot.

"It's possible. Check the surveillance camera near Ashley's house. Maybe we can find some clues there," Henry said weakly.

"Did you fall asleep or catch a cold?" Samuel frowned.

"I'm fine." Henry reached out for his forehead. He had a fever.

"Josie and I will go there in a while." Samuel was worried.

"That's very generous of you to come and visit me with your girlfriend! Don't come here. I'm afraid I'll get sicker." Henry was teasing Samuel, but his heart ached even more.

Samuel said nothing and hung up.

Henry lay on the sofa in a daze. Henry didn't want to take medicine or go to the hospital.

He thought, "I'll just lie down here."

When he was a child, he had a fever in the orphanage, and no one could care for him. He usually curled up in the corner alone and forcibly endured the pain.

Surviving was a luxury for him.

Henry had a dream in a trance. He seemed to have traveled back in time to the day he met Josie ten years ago.

In his dream, Henry saw John take a little girl home. She looked like a wounded rabbit with reddened eyes.
