Only Henry's belongings were left in the room that had once belonged to Henry and Josie.
Josie cleaned up meticulously, not leaving a single strand of hair behind.
At that moment, Henry felt as if Josie had never existed in his life.
There were many boxes on the bed, which contained every gift Henry had given to Josie in the past three years.
Josie did not even open the packaging.
Henry was extremely generous to Josie and Ashley and never skimped on Josie's birthday and holiday gifts.
However, the reactions of both women when they received gifts were completely different. Ashley would be overjoyed, but Josie would be unimpressed.
Josie had placed their marriage certificate and a divorce settlement agreement on the pillow.
She was clearly determined to get a divorce because she had even prepared the agreement.
With coldness in his eyes, Henry angrily swept all the gift boxes on the bed to the ground.
Meanwhile, at Madelyn's house, Josie curled up by the window, gazing at the leaves blown off by the autumn wind under the street lamp.
"My house's air conditioner isn't working properly. I'll go to the convenience store and get you some heat patches. Wait for me at home." Madelyn comforted Josie by patting her head and giving her a cute cartoon heat patch.
It was cold after the rain in autumn. Josie had an ectopic pregnancy. Her vitality would be depleted if she bled excessively, so she should always keep herself warm.
Suddenly, someone was knocking on the door frantically.
Josie thought Madelyn had forgotten to bring the key, but when she opened the door, she saw Henry, who was completely drenched.
Ever since Henry took over Gibson Corporation, Josie had never seen him in such a mess.
The last time Josie saw him so miserable was when she had just returned to the Gibson residence.
Henry was 18 that year.
Josie turned her head and looked at the time. It was already midnight.
"He wouldn't have shown up if he hadn't finished Ashley's birthday celebration," she mused.
"Didn't I ask you to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow?" Henry's first sentence was a reprimand.
Josie did not speak and stood quietly.
Henry frowned slightly as his gaze fell on Josie's feet. "Come home with me."
Nevertheless, Josie smiled weakly and shook her head. "Henry, did you see the divorce settlement agreement? Don't worry. I don't want anything from the Gibson family."
