Chapter 163


    The door of the room opened, and Josie nced at Henry. “Ashley?”


    “Well, sleep well. I’ll go and have a look. Henryforted her.


    “It can’t be Zachary. She lied.” Josie was afraid that Henry would misunderstand Zachary.


    She had been listening to Henry’s conversation on the phone behind the door.


    “I know.” Henry smiled helplessly. “My men are keeping an eye on Zachary. I know it’s not him.”


    Josie frowned, “Aren’t you trying to provoke her? I’ll go with you.”


    It was a good opportunity for her to take revenge on Ashley.


    “Jo, it’s time for you to go to bed. Henry was worried that Josie might not have a good rest as her


    condition did not allow her to stay upte.


    “What? Are you feeling bad for her?” Josie asked coldly.


    “Jo…” Henry sighed helplessly. “You should rest at home tomorrow morning, then.”


    “I’m off tomorrow,” Josie said indifferently.


    “Okay.” Henry had topromise.


    Meanwhile, Samuel and Henry were in Hofcaster Hospital


    Ashley asked the paparazzi to wait outside in advance. Once Henry came, the paparazzi would take


    photos of him to continue spreading the rumors.


    But when Henry came, he was not alone. He


    dine with a woman,


    Now, the paparazzi didn’t know what to do. They thought, “Should we cheat the camera?”


    “Just take photos of Henry alone.”


    “But they are too close. Look at Mr. Gibson, he wraps his arm around the woman’s waist from time to


    time.”


    The paparazzi were confused as they thought, “How should we do it?”


    In the ward.


    Hearing that Henry had arrived, Ashley began to mentally prepare herself to put on a show.


    “Get out! Get out! Don’te over! Don’t touch me!”


    “Don’te over!


    Ashley hugged herself in tears and curled up in the corner, looking like she had recalled something


    terrible.


    The door of the ward opened, and Henry nced at Ashley.


    “Mr. Gibson, you are finally here. Thomas was relieved. When he was about to go out to leave space


    for Ashley and Henry. he saw Josie following behind.


    His heart was back in his mouth again.


    Henry took Josie with him everywhere…


    “Henry.” Seeing that it was Henry, Ashley burst into tears.


    Josie took a deep breath. If she used all her acting skills in her work, she wouldn’t have to rely on men


    to feel safe now.


    “What’s wrong? Where are you hurt?” Josie walked to stand in front of Henry and blocked Ashley’s


    view of him.


    Ashley was stunned and slowly curled her fingers up tightly.


    She thought, “Has Josie gotten smarter? She actuallyes with him!”


    “Josie…” Ashley said chokingly as she nced at Josie and cried even harder.


    “What’s wrong with her?” Josie pretended not to know anything.


    “Ashley was traumatized when she was a child. Zachary’s attack on her will remind her of those bad


    memories.” Henry exined and walked to the bedside. “Don’t be afraid. Zachary can’t hurt you.”


    “Henry!” Ashley was so aggrieved that she wanted to hug Henry.


    O


    Josie pulled Henry aside. “Hugging him is inappropriate. If you really feel bad, you should just hug me,


    and I’ll coax you.”


    Ashley tightened her grip on the nket as the look of ruthlessness in her eyes became stronger.


    She thought, “Josie! Why is this damn woman everywhere? She’s annoying. I would have gotten rid of


    her if Hazel hadn’t stopped me fromying a finger on her. Without Josie, I’ll be Mrs. Gibson now!”


    Ashley gritted her teeth with hatred. She couldn’t bear it anymore.


    Josie looked at Ashley meaningfully and thought, “Is she filled with hatred? Does she feel heartache?


    It’s still less than one-


    tenth of what I had felt in the past


    “I heard that when you were adopted by the Long family, you were hurt by Mr. Long?” Josie deliberately


    mentioned what happened before.


    “Ah!” Ashley’s acting skills were really good. She covered her ears and screamed when she heard


    Josie’s words, as if she was greatly triggered.


    This was a show she put on for Henry.


    Henry looked at Ashley with a fiery gaze.


    H Josie provoked Ashley like this in the past, he would have thought that Josie did it on purpose to hurt


    Ashley and rubbed salt into her wound.


    But now he realized that his distrust of Josie had already hurt Josie so much that it was irreparable.


    ‘Ms. Yates! You can’t mention that. It will trigger Ashley!” Thomas ran over in a panic, looked at Josie


    reproachfully, and then looked at Henry.


    He wanted to see how Henry would react to it.


    Henry’s fingers were clenched so hard that they were trembling and became stiff. “Josie! Don’t mention


    it again. It’ll trigger


    her!”


    He couldn’t be as harsh to Josie as he was anymore.


    Josie


    looked back at Henry and thought, “Henry is not good at acting. His voice is trembling


    Ashley looked at Henry carefully, thinking that Henry was still on her side.


    Holding her legs tightly, Ashley smiled.


    She thought, “Therefore, as long as Josie is gotten rid of, Henry will still be mine. He must be mine.


    When we were kids, Henry almost died. I led the teacher to him. Henry told the psychiatrist that he


    would never forget that day. As long as that incident still traumatizes Henry, I’ll always be important to


    him.”


    Ashley smiled proudly and continued to cry with her head lowered.


    “But didn’t Zachary’s father take his own life in prison? Why is she still scared? Could she see what we


    couldn’t see? For example, the ghost of Zachary’s father?”


    As soon as Josie finished speaking, Ashley’s body suddenly froze, and her eyes began to show horror.


    Josie was sure that she didn’t pretend this time.


    Josie sneered and said again. “Is the air conditioner on in the ward? How can you turn on the cold wind


    on such a cold day?”


    Henry wanted tough, but he still wanted to show respect to Ashley, Josie, what nonsense are you


    talking about?”


    I’m not talking nonsense. You know, the hospital is so gloomy. I always feel that this ward is spooky.”


    Josie looked innocent. “It’s definitely not good for Ashley to be frightened so many times. Why don’t


    you find a priest to check on her? It’s better to believe that something is true than otherwise.”


    After Josie finished speaking, Ashley’s body that was curled up as she held her legs, became stiffer


    and stiffer.


    At this moment, she couldn’t even say a word.


    Josie shrugged and continued to provoke her, “Ashley, don’t be afraid. We should not be afraid as long


    as we don’t do anything wrong. There’s nothing to be afraid of when you’re on the right.”

    “Ah!” Josie patted Ashley who was so scared that she almost fell off the bed.


    If it weren’t for Thomas‘ quick reaction, Ashley would have been on the ground by now.


    “Josie, what are you talking about? You are also a highly educated person. How can you be so


    superstitious?” Henry frowned.


    “Have you ever heard that the end of science is theology? The ancients said that God sees everything.


    There are grounds for it. Otherwise, why would people who did bad things not end up well?” Josie


    looked unconvinced.


    Thomas‘ fingers were trembling. He thought, “Josie should really leave now.”


    “All right. Stop preaching, Go out and wait for me. Henry nced at Josie and walked up to Ashley.


    “Ashley, have a good rest. I’lle to see you tomorrow. She will follow me wherever I go now.”


    Ashley originally wanted to ask Henry to stay, but when she heard Henryining about Josie


    being annoying, she instantly let go of him. “Henry, you should go back to rest. I’m fine here.”


    She knew that the more ignorant Josie was, the more sensible she must be.
