Chapter 755 Josie Might Be Dead
Hearing Josie’s promise to be there for him in the future made all of Arnold’s doubts disappear. He pursed his lips together.
The next day, as the guards and maids changed shifts, Ruth took Josie through the small opening in the fence behind the villa. The young girl was delighted to be outside and started to jump excitedly, looking more like she was on her way to a vacation than making an escape.
Josie scanned their surroundings, afraid that Wayne would see them.
“Josie, don’t worry,” Ruth assured. “This is my little secret. No one else knows about this place.”
Josie held Ruth’s hands tightly. “What if your dad suspects you when I leave?”
“I’m only five this year. How could I possibly help you escape?” she answered innocently.
Josie suddenly felt a shiver run down her spine. It completely rocked her sense of normalcy that a child so young could have such devious thoughts.
Moses was already waiting by the door when she arrived. Josie walked through the tall bushes, and before she left, she reminded Ruth. “Make sure to stay safe on your way back!”
Out of the blue, Ruth said to her. “I like you. Will you be coming back? I’m sure you can’t, right?”
Josie froze. She wanted to respond but couldn’t give her the reply Ruth wanted, so she kept her thoughts to herself.
“Ruth, I’ll always remember you.”
As soon as she said that, she ran towards Moses. The staff members couldn’t contain their delight and overwhelming relief at the sight of her. “Mrs. Russell!”
Josie caught her breath before turning around and noticing that Ruth had already left.
“Let’s go!”
Josie struggled to wrap her head around the idea that she had finally escaped. She finally sighed in relief when she leaned back into the car seat as the car sped away from the villa.
“Jo, Mr. Russell still doesn’t know that you’ve escaped. Should I let him know?” Moses asked as he awaited. her instructions.
Closing her eyes, Josie had a pinched expression as she recalled everything that had happened; she wasn’t sure how to face Dexter. What should she say to him?
