When Henry arrived at Hofcaster Hospital, Josie was lying quietly on the bed, her face pale.
The autumn sun shone on Josie, but she looked so cold.
At that moment, Henry's heart skipped a beat.
Josie looked exhausted, and her face was completely drained of color, like a lifeless body without a soul.
Henry's fingers were numb. He walked slowly to her bedside and whispered, "Jo..."
"Mr. Gibson, you are such a busy man!" Madelyn exclaimed sarcastically as she placed a bowl of oatmeal on the table. "Jo was experiencing an ectopic pregnancy! Where were you last night when she was having severe blood loss and required the signature of a family member? Do you know she almost died at home?"
Henry frowned. Obviously, he didn't like being scolded.
"Maddy, let me talk to him." Josie's voice was hoarse.
Madelyn looked at Josie with reddened eyes and snapped, "He spent the night with that vixen last night! Do you know you almost died, Josie? If you forgive him, I will look down on you!"
"Madelyn Hayes!" Henry's voice was deep and low. It sounded like he was warning Madelyn that his patience was running out.
Josie looked at Henry in despair and scoffed inward bitterly. "She just called her a vixen, but he couldn't stand it, huh?"
"Jo..." Henry turned around and panicked.
"Apologize to Maddy," Josie said flatly. It was the first time she used a commanding tone with Henry.
Henry was stunned. He had never seen Josie act in such a way before.
Since Josie returned to the Gibson family at the age of 15, she had been as gentle as a rabbit.
She wouldn't bite or cry.
"Sorry, I'm being impatient," Henry apologized to Madelyn obediently.
Madelyn snorted, turned around, and left.
"Don't take anything they say online seriously, Jo. My phone was turned off last night. There's nothing between Ashley and me." Henry tried to coax Josie.
He was very good at that because Josie was very easy to coax. She would immediately become obedient after coaxing.
"Henry, let's get a divorce."
