Chapter 122


    At the Frontier Bay Hospital Josie stayed outside the ward and waited for the doctor to treat Henry’s


    wound again before entering.


    ‘He’s fine. Don’t worry.” Sergeant Jennings was the one who apanied Josie,


    Coincidentally, when Josie called the police, it was Sergeant Jennings from the Frontier Bay Police


    Station who took the call. He happened to have matters to deal with in Frontier Bay.


    Zachary: Have you found him?” Josie looked up at Sergeant Jennings,


    Not yet, but don’t worry. He won’t be able to get out of Hofcaster, Caden reassured her.


    Ten years ago, I was kidnapped soon after 1 went back to the Gibson residence. Zachary was a


    gangster hired by that person. At that time. I wouldn’t say he was bad–natured. Zachary didn’t let


    anyone bully me and was almost beaten to death for etting me go. That is why I did not mention him in


    my police statement.” Josie recalled the kidnapping ten years ago.


    Caden let out a sigh


    It was one of Josie’s darkest memories.


    That year. Josie had just lost her parents andter was kidnapped.


    “We’ll find him. Caden said.


    No one knew what Zachary had experienced and how he had be over the years.


    “The scar on Zachary’s face was caused by Henry. Henry hurt him while he was rescuing me. I don’t


    know if he was resentful toward me because of that, Josie said.


    “Don’t overthink it,” Caden said.


    Josie hugged herself tightly and curled up in the corner. “Sergeant Jennings, do you think every bad


    person gets the punishment they deserve?”


    “No one escapes the web of justice. No matter how powerful he is, his wrongdoings should never be


    overlooked.” Sergeant Jenningsforted Josie. He would make sure to find but the cause of her


    parent’s death.


    As for Spike, he would receive the punishments he deserved.


    “Jo!”


    Samuel hurried to Frontier Bay. His clothes were soaking wet from the rain.


    Josie looked up at Samuel and felt even more aggrieved.


    “Henry almost died. “Josie could not bear to think whether Henry would survive after Zachary smashed


    the rock on his head.


    “Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid. Samuel hugged Josie tightly as he tried to talk her down. His chest


    tightened. “Henry is one tough man, he will not die so easily.”


    “It was Zachary. Do you know Zachary? Josie leaned against Samuel’s arms and felt a little rxed. “I


    was kidnapped that year. Do you…”


    She knew that Sarquel had also gone to the scene of the kidnapping, and he was almost stabbed to


    death.


    Over the years, Josie did not know that Samuel had always been secretly protecting her.


    “Zachary?” Samuel frowned at the mention of that name. He knew that it was Zachary who stabbed


    him that year. “He’s still alive?”


    “I don’t know why he appeared out of the blue, and I couldn’t even decide whether he was an enemy or


    a friend. He was the one who reminded me to leave the house to find you that day.”


    Josie was confused. She could not figure it out.


    She could not understand Zachary’s hatred toward Henry.


    Zachary had been away hiding for so many years that it would not make sense for him to kill anyone.


    However, at the back of the mountain, Zachary looked at Henry in such a way that he was going to kill


    him.


    Jo, I’m here. Don’t be afraid,” Samuel said while heforted Josie in his arms.


    At least this time, Josie called him immediately after the ident.


    Their rtionship no longer felt distant.


    Samuel thought everything was worth it as long as Josie trusted him.


    There is not much to worry about the patient. The wound was torn, and we had given him sutures. It is


    easy to be infected. again, so you must take good care of it. Don’t act recklessly just because you’re


    young!” The doctor reminded Josie and walked out of the ward.


    Henry was still in aa and his fever had not subsided.


    Samuel wrapped Josie in a bath towel and carefully wiped her wet hair.


    Henry was struggling in the hospital bed. Whenever he had a fever, he would always have nightmares.


    Josie knew that Henry was most afraid of having a fever.


    “Henry said that my parents car ident and their death had nothing to do with him. Should I trust


    him?” Josie washed the towel, skillfully wiped the palms of Henry’s hands, and then put it on his


    forehead.


    She had been taking care of Henry for three years without help from others.


    Samuel’s heart ached as he watched Josie. He wished Josie had given up on Henry, but he did not


    have the heart to frame or lie about Henry. “I know Henry; we grew up together. He returned to the


    Gibson family at the age of eight. As for the kind of person he is… I know it best, Samuel exined.


    After a long moment of silence, Samuel spoke, again. “He was only 18 years old when your parents


    had an ident. Grandpa John treated him well. He was not an ungrateful person. It was impossible


    for him to set up your parents with Spike. At most he was threatened by Spike.”


    Josie’s hand froze while washing the towel, washing the towel. She turned to look at Samuel,


    Josie felt even more u


    re upset as it was only how that she came to learn about it from Samuel.


    If Samuel really wanted her to give up on Henry, he would be better off not exining on thetter’s


    behalf.


    Upon hearing that Henry was innocent, she felt even sorry for him


    “What should I do with Samuel now?” Josie pondered.


    “Your hair is also wet. Walking to the sofa, Josie took a bath towel and covered Samuel’s head,


    carefully wiping his hair.


    Samuel was a little stiff. In the next moment, he raised his hand to pull Josie into his arms. “Are you


    worried about me?


    ??? ? ? ???? ??


    “Well…” Josie did not admit otherwise.


    Hearing that. Samuel did not say a word. He knew that Josie was feeling sorry for him. It was just a


    gesture done out of guilt and gratitude, not out of love.


    However, Samuel considered that good progress.


    nk!


    Just as Samuel was about to say something, the ss by the patient’s bed fell to the ground.


    Clearly, Henry had awakened. None of them knew when he woke up.


    Samuel rolled his eyes and pulled Josie into her embrace intentionally. He refused to let go of her. He


    did not care if it would anger Henry.


    “What are you doing here? I don’t want to see you,” Henry eximed, his voice sounding hoarse. He


    was displeased by the presence of Samuel.


    “Josie is mine, Henry voiced inwardly.


    “Jo… It hurts.” Henry was about to lose his temper, so he held back his anger and pretended to look


    miserable.


    Samuel let go of Josie and walked to the bed. “You can call for the doctors if it hurts. What’s the use of


    calling my girlfriend?” “Shut up, Samuel, Henry snapped. He was hurting so badly that cold sweat


    appeared on his forehead.


    “Have some water.” Josie walked to the bedside and poured Henry a ss of water.


    “I don’t have the strength… Henry looked at Josie pitifully.


    He was, obviously, asking Josie to feed him.


    “I’ll do it! My good friend, I could take care of you till we’re old.” Samuel was at the forefront of it. How


    could Henry make Josie do everything?


    Seeing that, Josie was at a loss. She took a deep breath and thought, “As expected of Samuel. Only he


    would dare to say that “You’re such an eyesore, Henry snorted.


    Samuel faked a cough. Henry drank only a few sips before the water spilled all over his shirt. “Did you


    do that on purpose?” thetter questioned.


    Samuel felt wronged by Henry’s questioning tone.


    Almost no one could tell that Henry was great at acting.


    “Let me do it,” Josie said. Henry’s tactics Had worked as he expected, Josie was tired of watching the


    hostile exchanges between the two.


    “I see that you’ve been with Ashley for a long time. Her maniptive behaviors can be contagious.”


    Samuel had spoken the wrong thing at the wrong time.


    10:55 Fri, 10 May G.

    His provoking words had made Henry choke for real.


    Looking at Josie nervously, Henry was a little panicked. “Jo, L.


    “Ashley wille to take care of you in a while. I’ll leave when she’s here,” Samuel continued. Josie


    lowered her head. Everyone in the film crew knew about it, and Ashley must have also heard about it.


    She must be afraid to hurry to see Henry in the hospital out of guilt.


    “Jo! “You stay with me…” Henry did not want Josie to leave.


    Samuel disagreed. “Henry, don’t go too far. Jo is in poor health. She has no time to take care of you. I’ll


    take her home.”


    “In that case, I’lle with you…” Henry did not want to stay in Frontier Bay alone.


    Seeing that Henry was about to get up, Josie frowned and said in a harsh voice, “Lie down.”


    Henry did not dare to utter a word andy back obediently.
