Chapter 136


    “The wound hurts…” Henry leaned on the sofa, obviously changing the subject.


    Josie bit her lip. She knew that Henry would be like this.


    Henry’s face turned pale, and his forehead sweating. “Jo, it really hurts… I just took a shower. Maybe


    it’s wet.”


    -lightly


    Josie was stunned for a moment before she immediately stood up. “It really hurts?”


    “Yes…” Henry’s palms began to sweat.


    Josie reached out and touched Henry’s forehead, which was boiling.


    “You!” she eximed and thought, “Isn’t itmon sense not to let the wound get wet?”

    Henry felt dizzy. Hey on the couch, feeling an agonizing pain in his body.


    “I’ll call the family doctor and let you take an anti–inmmatory shot. Josie lifted Henry’s clothes, looked


    at the position of the wound, and took a deep breath. The wound was not long, but it was not very


    shallow.


    “I’ll call Arthur and tell him I can’t visit him today. Josie brushed her forehead. “Do you want to go to the


    hospital again?”


    “No…” Henry held Josie’s wrist and shook his head. “Jo, I’m a little hungry.


    Josie avoided his gaze before standing up and walking to the kitchen.


    Looking at Josie’s back, Henry smiled helplessly. He didn’t know how he could keep Josie besides


    hurting himself.


    He deliberately wet the wound.


    Henry’s eyes were burning, and he felt his throat beginning to burn as well. He felt terrible.


    If it had been in the past, Josie would have been frightened.


    He was used to relying on Josie when he was sick, but he wasn’t aware of it then.


    “There is nothing at home. Josie nced at the refrigerator and sighed. She thought, “How was


    Henry’s life after the divorce?”


    He was not used to eating food outside, so he looked a lot thinner.


    Henry was so dizzy that he couldn’t hear Josie’s words.


    Josie poured a ss of water for Henry, but he was already sound asleep.


    Josie sighed. She rarely saw Henry acting in such a mess.


    Josie clenched her fists and turned her gaze away from him.


    “Josie.”


    Cecilia arrived quicker than the family doctor. After entering the house, she checked on Henry’s


    situation first. “Mr. Gibson hasn’t been eating well these days. He’s too tired.


    Since the divorce, Cecilia had not seen Henry rx all day. He put all his energy into his work.


    “I bought some groceries. Mr. Gibson is not used to eating outside food, and he doesn’t like to eat food


    cooked by others Cecilia looked at Josie’s reaction carefully.


    “I’ll cook. The family doctor will be here soon.” Josie felt a little tired and didn’t know what to do with


    Henry


    “Josie, I’ll leave it to you to take care of Mr. Gibson.” Cecilia hurriedly nodded and fled. “If there’s


    nothing else, I’ll leave first.”


    Josie wanted to say something more, but Cecilia had left.


    Josie looked at Henry, who was sleeping on the couch. She was not in a good mood.


    Josie turned around and went into the kitchen. She cooked some in oatmeal for Henry.


    The family doctor came to treat Henry’s wounds, applied some medication, and put him on an IV drip.


    Then, the family doctor asked Josie to take good care of Henry.


    Josie couldn’t refuse. She didn’t wake Henry up until the doctor left. “Eat something”


    Henry opened his eyes and nced at Josic, frowning. “I don’t want to eat.”


    “Don’t eat, then,” Josie didn’t want to tolerate him.


    Jo… Stay with me.” Henry was afraid that Josie would leave.


    “No way. I’ve cooked some oatmeal. It’s in the pot. I’ll call Ceciliater. It was impossible for Josie to


    stay and take care of him all night.


    “It’s after–work hours now. Cecilia recently got into a rtionship.” Henry’s voice was hoarse.


    “Cecilia isn’t your only assistant.”


    “Cecilia is my only personal assistant, Henry exined.


    “Even so, I have no obligation to stay and take care of you.” Josie nced at Henry’s IV drip and


    thought. “I’ll leave when the drip is finished.”


    “You’re my wife. It’s your duty to take care of me.”


    “I’m your ex–wife. I have no obligation to take care of you after divorce! Josie felt that Henry’s fever had


    subsided since he had the strength to argue with her here.


    “I got hurt because of you…” Henry sat up, feeling dizzy.


    Josie was speechless and didn’t want to argue with Henry.


    “Eat the oatmeal!” Josie looked at Henry harshly.


    Henry snorted. He was not satisfied with Josie’s attitude, but he dared not say it.


    After all. Josie might run away if heined,


    Josie didn’t understand. During their marriage, Henry was the one who ignored her. Yet, he was the


    one who began to pester her after the divorce.


    “The wound hurts…” Henry deliberately lifted his clothes and showed Josie his scar


    Just because Samuel showed Josie his scar, Henry felt jealous about it until now.


    Im not a doctor,” Josie rolled his eyes.


    “It won’t hurt anymore after you look at it… Henry’s head was burning in a daze, and he started acting


    coquettishly.


    Josie looked at Henry in shock. He seemed like twopletely different people before and after the


    divorce.


    Perhaps it was the fever that turned him silly.


    “Do I have the ability to do that?” Josie wanted tough, but she couldn’t smile when she saw Henry’s


    face, which had made her depressed for three years.


    Jo… My blood is back flowing. It hurts.” Henry lifted his right hand, and the blood was back flowing.


    “Who told you to turn off the IV drip?” Josie was so angry and eximed inwardly, “Does Henry want to


    die? It’ll be stranger if there’s no back flow of blood when he turned off the TV drip!”


    “I didn’t… I want it to drip faster.” Henry lied,


    He just wanted to slow down the infusion.


    Josie ignored Henry at once.


    “I’m hungry…” Looking at the oatmeal cooked by Josie, Henry said he was hungry again.


    “You didn’t want to eat it just now,” thought Josie.


    Josie didn’t want to argue with Henry and put the oatmeal on the table. “Drink it yourself.”


    “My right–hand hurts.” Henry’s face turned pale.


    Josie looked at Henry’s hand with the needle. She had an illusion that he even calcted which hand


    to use for infusion “Stay hungry, then.”


    Josie threw the thermometer at Henry. “The doctor asked me to take your temperature once every half


    an hour. Put it between your underarm.”


    During the three years living with Henry, Josie was the one who often got sick.


    Other thermometers had errors. Only the mercury thermometer felt the most urate.


    Josie stored the thermometer in the medicine box. She thought Henry would throw away all her things


    after the divorce, but she didn’t expect them to remain in the same ce.


    “My left hand is inconvenient…” Henry continued to pretend to be pathetic.


    He was disying such a huge inconvenience just because of his fever.


    “You!” Josie grabbed Henry’s cor and put the thermometer under his armpit stiffly.


    Henry took the opportunity to raise his hand and held Josie in his arms. Jo, I’m dizzy. Let me hold you


    for a while…”


    “Henry!” Josie resisted and tried to push Henry away. His every touch made Josie’s whole body hurt.


    In the past three years, he had made no good impression on her.


    Pushing Henry away, Josie ran into the bathroom in pain.


    Josie squatted in theer breathlessly. She hated herself before.


    She was hurt by him without restraint since she was soulless and didn’t know how to resist.


    Henry watched Josie as she ran to hide in the bathroom. He lifted his hand and propped it against his


    forehead.


    “What have I done to Josie back then? She’ll never forgive me,” he thought.


    Josie’s phone that fell on the couch began to buzz. It was Samuel who was calling.


    Henry’s eyes darkened a little, and he answered the phone.
