Chapter 34
On the other end of the call, Charles could feel a chill run down his spine even before Henry spoke.
“You don’t believe me?” Seeing that Henry was silent, Charles knelt in front of Josie. “Go on, say something. Tell Mr. Gibson
all about it.”
Josie simply stared blankly at Charles. There were blood stains on her neck, but she stubbornly refused to say a word.
After a long silence, Henry berated Charles. “You’re sick in the head!”
Henry thought. “Is Charles really sick?”
Charles smiled sarcastically and said. “I’m sure Mr. Gibson is aware that Josie has an anxiety disorder. She has a tendency to inflict injuries on herself.”
“Since she’s already your woman, you should settle this matter yourself, whether she’s alive or dead.” Henry hung up abruptly after saying that to Charles.
Charles sighed with a smirk on his face. Jo, he doesn’t care about you at all. Why are you so stubborn?”
Josie was a little breathless as she said in a soft voice, “He’s right. You’re sick.”
Henry had never cared about her. She knew it all along for the past three years. Josie went through it all.
Yet there was no denying that Charles was sick.
At the very least, he must be suffering from a mental illness.
Charles clenched his fists. The one thing he detested most was having anyone look at him pitifully.
Charles raised his hand to grab Josie’s wrist. He pulled her up to his chest effortlessly and threw the blood–stained glass fragment on the floor. Josie Yates, I’ve been too lenient with you, haven’t I?”
Josie was so frightened that her whole body started shaking. There was no way she could resist his advances at this moment. “Charles, your thoughts are always so strange. Why should I need someone to want me?”
Josie was certain she could survive even if she was all alone.
