Chapter 205


    Josie felt incredibly dizzy. She had to rely on medicine and nutrient injections every day.


    Initially, they were able to wake her up to eat something. Eventually, she was barely awake for four


    hours out twenty-four hours daily.


    She was drowsy most of the time.


    “Jo, wake up.” Samuel didn’t even dare to go out of the bedroom during that critical period. His daily job


    was t coax Josie, wake her up, and keep her awake for as long as he could.


    The doctor said the kidnapping had taken a physical and mental toll on Josie.


    Josie already had depression, and it was very unfavorable to her treatment.


    “My little sleeping beauty, can you wake up?” Samuel coaxed Josie patiently every day.


    “She… How long does she sleep each day?” Henry and Zachary hade over to visit. Henry no


    longer needed to hide anything when he came to see Josie. After all, he and Josie hadn’t gotten a


    proper divorce certificate.


    He thought, “I’ll talk about everything when Josie gets better.”


    “She’s awake for less than an hour each day now.” Samuel was a little worried.


    Henry walked over and moved his fingers slightly. His heart ached badly. He never thought that self–


    reproach could really kill a person.


    “It’s my fault… I didn’t take good care of her.” For a long time, he had ignored Josie’s feelings. He


    assumed that Josie could solve anything alone and that he only needed to protect her silently.


    But he had ignored a fatal problem. Josie needed someone to keep herpany. She needed


    someone like a greenhouse who could keep her warm and gently protected.


    Samuel did not reply and coaxed Josie gently, “Jo, wake up.”


    Henry walked to Josie and squatted down slowly. “Jo…”


    Snorting, Josic toned around and continued to sleep.


    She felt sleepy and simply did not want to open her eyes.


    “Jo, wake up. It’s time for us to go to the hospital,” Henry whispered to Josie.


    Josie remained soundly asleep.


    “Jo.” Samuel picked up Josie. “Let’s go. We should go to the hospital.”


    Josie’s treatment would begin in three days.


    Everyone’s heart was at their throats.


    Henry clenched his fingers and felt heartbroken.


    Zachary kept silent as he stood at the door and prayed silently.


    “Samuel…” Josie moved and reached out to hug Samuel. “I don’t want to take the medicine…


    “Okay, you won’t have to.” Samuel smiled. Josie was obsessed with medicine. “You can stop taking the


    medicine.”


    Josie propped her chin on Samuel’s shoulder. “I slept for a long time…”


    “You’ve been sleeping for 20 hours,” Samuel murmured.


    Slowly opening her eyes, Josie looked at Zachary, who was standing by the door, then at Henry. “Am I


    dreaming?”


    “Hmm?” Samuel was a little confused.


    “Why are they together? Why aren’t they fighting?” Josie was surprised. Even if this was a dream, there


    was no way Zachary and Henry would coexist in the same room peacefully.


    “For your sake, they made peace for the time being,” Samuelforted her, smiling. “So, Jo, get better


    quickly.”


    Josiey on Samuel’s shoulder and fell asleep again.


    Henry nced at Zachary and dered in a deep voice, “Come with me.”


    Zachary nodded and followed him. He knew what Henry was going to say.


    “Have you heard anything from Hazel?”


    Zachary shook his head. “Spike couldn’t find her.”


    Henry was worried that Hazel would do something terrible.


    “We must ensure that Josie’s treatment ends safely,” Henry said as he massaged his brows.


    Samuel came out with Josie in his arms and helped her put on her coat that had been left on the


    couch.


    Henry reached out to help, but Samuel had no intention of letting him touch Josie.


    Disappointment flitted across Henry’s eyes as he whispered, “Let’s just go to the hospital.”


    “The two of you can stay. There’s too many of us.” Samuel went out with Josie in his arms. After


    entering the elevator, he asked, “Will Spike make a move on Josie?”


    “Don’t worry. We’ll take care of it,” Henry reassured Samuel.


    “Don’t act impulsively if something happens. That was what you once told me. You said this often when


    you were teaching me. Don’t go having double standards now.” Samuel was quite worried about Henry.


    After all, they had a close rtionship for many years.


    Henry did not respond.


    “Josie was quite worried about Zachary. She’s been waking up fewer and fewer times these days, but


    she would ask about Zachary each time.” Samuel looked at Zachary and said again, “You’re all right.”


    Zachary had to be vignt when dealing with a madman like Spike.


    Zachary lowered his head. His expression wasplicated.


    “Henry, Samuel suits Josie more than you,” Zachary dered in a deep voice after Samuel got in the


    car.


    “Yes, I noticed,” Henry smiled weakly.


    “Samuel is someone who has experienced warmth and sunshine. Thus, he will bring that gentleness to


    Josie. She needs something more than verbal derations of love.” Zachary scratched his hair and


    continued, “Although I as uneducated, I know that we have only experienced maliciousness since


    childhood, so we do not treat others gent. People like us should stay single.” Zacharyughed.


    Henry nodded and said nothing.


    “How was the barbecue and beer ce from the other day?” Zachary grinned.


    “It wasn’t very clean.” Henry frowned.


    “It’s not like you’ll die from poor hygiene.” Zachary clicked his tongue. “Let’s go. I’ll treat you today.”


    Henry’s expression was gloomy.


    “Don’t worry. I’m a good judge of people. Josie is a lucky person. Her blessed days will arrive, and


    there’s nothing we can do about it,” Zachary said mysteriously.


    “You dropped out of school at the age of 18 and became a fortune–teller under the overpass?” Henry


    was amused by Zachary’s words.


    Zachary lifted his head. “I’ve done it before, sleeping under the overpass. There was a fortune–teller


    there who was quite urate and insisted on epting me as his disciple. I didn’t agree.”


    “Pfft…” Henryughed..


    “So, you are capable ofughing.” Zachary curled his lips. “I thought you only had a cold face.”


    Henry’s face darkened again. “Pick a ce, and let’s fight.”


    “Okay, I know a boxing gym. Let’s take a walk and spar a bit to vent.”


    In the gang’s base of the Taibbi family, Zachary returned to the hall with a cigarette between his lips.


    “Mr. Taibbi, I no longer wish to follow Henry.”

    Spike was a little confused. “Hmm? What’s wrong?”


    “I’m afraid I can’t resist the urge to kill him someday.” Zachary was a little angry.


    “Bear with it. Don’t be blinded by hatred.” Spike was writing calligraphy, looking like a worldly man.


    “In


    “In the afternoon, I brought him to the boxing gym. I saw that he deliberately retaliated against me.”


    Zachary had to report everything to Spike. Otherwise, thetter would grow suspicious.


    Spike put down. Le brush and nced at Zachary. “Who won?”


    “The answer is obvious. He works at the office every day. How can he possibly beat me?” Zachary was


    indignant.


    “During this period, follow him and try running into him more often. It’s even better if he can grow to


    trust you.” Spike patted Zachary on the shoulder. “Zack, I don’t have many people I can trust around


    me. You should work


    hard.”


    Zachary lowered his head. “No one is nice to me, sir. I remember.”


    “Okay, good boy.” Spike nodded. He was very satisfied with Zachary’s desperate behavior.
