Chapter 31
When he was discharged home, Josie gathered the courage to call Henry.
She figured if she wanted to live on, she had to work.
She did not have to be in Dahon Corporation, but she did not have time to change her job and start over again.
450 thousand dollars was just a small amount for Henry. It would cost this much to even throw Ashley a birthday party.
But for Josie, it could save her life..
She had to rely on money to survive.
Thinking of this, Josie felt funny. Since John took her home, she felt no sense of existence.
When John died, she did not want anything. After the divorce, she left the marriage with nothing.
Josie suddenly felt like a fool as she evaluated her current circumstances.
Nonetheless, all those things were not hers. She did not want them.
She did not know what she was proud of. Maybe she had never come out of the trauma of her parents.
On the day of the car accident, they were going to drive back to the Gibson residence.
That day, John took the initiative to call Hayden and said that he wanted to have a family gathering,
That day, Hayden happily told Josie’s mother that John’s attitude had eased a lot. Perhaps it would not take long for John to really accept Josie and her mother.
Yet, before they reached the Gibson residence, they had a car accident on the way.
Josie always thought, “If my father had completely cut off from the Gibson family and did not contact Grandpa John, maybe he wouldn’t have died.”
Before John died, he took Josie’s hand and asked her, “Jo, do you still hate me?”
Josie did not speak. Indeed, she still hated him.
“Jo, if there’s anything that you need… John wanted to leave some legacy for his granddaughter, but Josie rejected it.
“If Dad doesn’t want it, then neither do 1, she said.
“The number you dialed cannot be connected at the moment.”
Josie sat on the couch numbly. Henry did not answer her phone.
Josie’s fingers trembled, and she was a little unwilling to accept it.
But after she called three times, Henry directly blocked her.
Josie breathed heavily. After a long time, she slowly closed her eyes.
Her tears burned her eyes, and Josie could not even control herself.
“Josie!” Outside the window, someone was calling her name.
After wiping her tears, Josie got up and walked to the window.
Chapter 81.
It was Madelyní.
Maddy, your work… Josle opened the door and took the fruit from Madelyn, feeling a little guilty.
I’m sure I can find a place that I belong to. I have iny own skills. I can find a job wherever I go. Madelyn looked proud.
Looking around, Madelyn was trembling. “Jo, didn’t you say you wanted an air conditioner? It’s been so long already!”
Josie was stunned for a moment and smiled.
She thought, “I don’t think I can install the air conditioner anymore. I have to save money.”
From now on, she had to save every penny.
“Where have you been these past two days? Don’t go on a business trip if you are not in good health. I haven’t seen you for half a month.” Madelyn looked aggrieved. “Go out with me this afternoon. I’ll take you to meet a friend.”
Josie was a little helpless. “I’m tired. I want to sleep.”
Jo, you have to embrace your life. You are single now, okay?” Madelyn did not allow Josie to waste her youth like this.
“I’m not going… Josie rolled her eyes and smiled. “Let me rest.”
“You will absolutely want to meet this man. It’ll surprise you, Jo… Just come with me. I’ve promised him. Please, do me at favor.
Josie could not resist Madelyn, so she agreed eventually.
At Druflas subway station.
Under Madelyn’s urging. Josie put on makeup and wore a dress that she did not usually wear.
The dress was a little tight, which made Josie a little uncomfortable.
Josie’s heart tightened. She turned around and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Josie was stunned for a moment. It turned out it was actually her senior in college, Ezra Hunter.
Ezra was a little embarrassed and smiled at Josie. “Jo, I’m sorry for asking you out in this way.”
In college, Ezra tried to pursue Josie but was stopped by Henry.
“Jo, I haven’t seen you for three years. Ezra was a gentle and polite man.
