Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

"Silas has been with him for so many years." Josie's voice was hoarse.

"Silas has been with him for too long and has too many secrets on him," Samuel said as he comforted Josie. "Originally, I was looking forward to a dog-eat-dog situation," Josie smiled bitterly.

She really knew nothing about the darkness. "I can finally understand why Henry is so afraid of Spike."

If not for Henry's weak spot, Henry would be more heartless than Spike.

But it was because she was here...

Josie finally understood Henry's concerns over the years.

Unfortunately, everything was gone.

Her love had long been exhausted and buried in the deep darkness.

Samuel's body stiffened slightly. "H-he has his own reasons."

Samuel didn't want to smear Henry. Samuel would not gain true love from Josie if he did so.

Even if Josie left him one day, he would let her go.

At least he once shared a short moment of happiness with her.

"But we can't turn the clock back for certain things. Not everything lasts forever. I loved him, but not anymore." Josie knew what Samuel was worried about all the time. "Samuel, are you scared? Aren't you worried that I'm a half-hearted person? I may love you today and not love you tomorrow."

Samuel smiled, "No, I'm not worried. I am confident that if you love me even for a moment, you will love me for the rest of your life."

"That's so confident of you," Josie smiled and leaned against Samuel's shoulder.

"Yes," he responded.

Meanwhile, at the Lake House, Henry got a call from Samuel. "Yuri and I looked for them, but we didn't find Hazel," said Samuel.

"Zachary called and said that Spike's men were not the ones who kidnapped Hazel." Henry found himself troubled. He did hate Hazel; above all, he hoped Hazel would get what she deserved.

Still, even if she deserved to die, she should die under the law's ruling instead of someone else's hands.

"Who could it be?" Samuel pondered for a moment before continuing. "Did she go to Ashley's house?"

"Hazel gave Ashley a USB flash drive containing evidence of Spike's crime. I have given it to the police, but if I want him dead, I need more conclusive evidence."

"Did Hazel leave Ashley's house?" Samuel double-checked with him.

"Well, are you suspecting Ashley? She doesn't have the guts." Henry didn't think that way.

"Could Hazel have gone missing on purpose and asked Ashley to hide her, then have Ashley misled us?" Samuel guessed it was Hazel's plot.

"It's possible. Check the surveillance camera near Ashley's house. Maybe we can find some clues there," Henry said weakly.

"Did you fall asleep or catch a cold?" Samuel frowned.

"I'm fine." Henry reached out for his forehead. He had a fever.

"Josie and I will go there in a while." Samuel was worried.

"That's very generous of you to come and visit me with your girlfriend! Don't come here. I'm afraid I'll get sicker." Henry was teasing Samuel, but his heart ached even more. Samuel said nothing and hung up.

Henry lay on the sofa in a daze. Henry didn't want to take medicine or go to the hospital.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

He thought, "I'll just lie down here."

When he was a child, he had a fever in the orphanage, and no one could care for him. He usually curled up in the corner alone and forcibly endured the pain. Surviving was a luxury for him.

Henry had a dream in a trance. He seemed to have traveled back in time to the day he met Josie ten years ago.

In his dream, Henry saw John take a little girl home. She looked like a wounded rabbit with reddened eyes.

Just like when he was a child, she liked to curl up in the corner and cry silently.

Henry admitted that he was attracted to Josie because he and Josie had so much in common.

They had been through hardship, yet they refused to pour out to others. They endured all adversity and healed their wounds on their own. Later, Henry found that Josie was more timid but stronger than he thought.

He was inadvertently attracted to Josie, and he began to observe the little girl who locked herself up after returning to the Gibson residence. He observed her until she was finally coaxed out of the room.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" The knock on the door woke Henry up from his dream.

Henry got up with a headache and walked to the door in a daze.

"What are you doing here?" Henry opened the door and saw Samuel standing outside with cold medicine.

Samuel probably guessed that Henry was ill, so he bought a lot of medicines, such as cold medicine and medicines to cure stomachache. "You should be watching over Jo..." Henry was a little pissed off.

"Jo is off from her work at 5:30 p.m.

It's only 2:40 p.m. now, so I bought you medicine. I'll leave after you fall asleep." Samuel boiled water for Henry and prepared the medicine for Henry.

"Samuel, do you have a few screws loose in your head? We are rivals in love," Henry was mocking him with a smile.

"Maybe. I've been your brother since I was a child," Samuel frowned. Henry had been like his brother before they were love rivals.

"That's just your wishful thinking.

Since I was a child, I have hated you. I hate you whenever you smile like a simpleton daily." It was as though Samuel had some kind of magic with him since he was a child, He was filled with enthusiasm, and his

smile was enviable.

It seemed like he was always the apple of the eye of his family and others. Even Henry couldn't control himself to protect Samuel. Samuel was like a royal prince that was born to be one. It was a sin for him to be hurt and defiled.

Therefore, Josie should be with Samuel.

She deserved such happiness.

With Samuel, Josie could be saved.

If Josie was with Henry, she would only stay in the dark, and they would hurt each other.

"To be honest, hated you too. When I was a child, hated your treachery. You looked so arrogant and cold." Samuel came over with the medicine and handed it to Henry. "Drink it quickly. Don't wait for me to drink it for you."

Henry's face turned dark.

Henry had been terrified of taking medicine since he was a child.

When he was a child, Henry often secretly poured away the medicine, but Samuel found out Henry's secret.

"Are you trying to scald me to death?" Henry felt helpless.

It was only then that Samuel put the glass on the table. "Don't try to get it away from me. I'll keep my eyes on you until you finish drinking the medicine before I leave." "Pervert!" Henry lay on the sofa and ignored Samuel.

"Drink the medicine before going to bed."

Henry couldn't stand Samuel's nagging. He got up and drank the medicine. He frowned bitterly, "You're such a nagger. I'm curious how Jo takes your nagging." "Don't worry. Just mind your own business." Samuel didn't spoil Henry either.

"Samuel..." Henry lay down in a daze. "I'd always wanted to see John's will, but I didn't dare. He'd left them with the lawyer."

Only Josie could take away and see all of his wills.

Meanwhile, the rest could only see a part of it.

Josie was the only one who had been given the right to read John's will.

Even so, Josie refused to follow John's order. She hadn't read his will.

She resisted everything in the Gibson family.
