Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 116

Chapter 116 Jo… Don’t leave me, Henry croaked out. Josie gave Cecilia a call, who was frantically looking for Henry in the hospital. Then Josie opened the door and dragged Henry into the living room. She dampened a towel and put it on his forehead. “Jo. Henry grabbed Josie’s wrist and refused to let go. “Mr. Gibson, Cecilia will be coming to pick you up soon. Have a good rest. Josie glanced at the time and decided to pack her things. Sebastian and his assistant were still waiting for her downstairs. “Jo… I don’t feel well.” Henry’s voice was hoarse, and he still wouldn’t release his grip on Josie’s wrist. “Cecilia will be here soon.” Josie tried to push Henry away as she said, “You have to take good care of yourself. We have already divorced, so I have no obligation to take care of you anymore. Do you understand?” “Josie…” Henry’s head was throbbing with pain, but he was much stronger than Josie. He pulled her into his arms and held her tightly. “Henry!” Josie tried to struggle out of his embrace, but her movements caused Henry’s wound to open up. Immediately, the white gauze was ked with his blood. “Let’s remarry, please?” Henry choked out. He didn’t know why he was so obsessed with marrying her again. “I can’t mess with Quinton yet, Josie. Spike favors Quinton the most. If Quinton gets jailed because of you, Spike will go mad. I can’t… I can’t protect you all the time. I’m afraid of what will happen when you’re out of my sight.” Henry’s voice was very weak. Josie was in his arms, yet she couldn’t even hear him clearly. Nevertheless, Josie didn’t want to hear about it either. “Henry!” she warned. “Jo, I’m doing it for your sake.” Perhaps because of his high fever, Henry thought he was dreaming, soContent provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

he didn’t hold back his words. “Your parents’ death has something to do with Spike. Over the years, he has wanted to get rid of you. Jo, I want to protect you. I just… I just used the wrong way. Your parents’ death has always weighed on me. Sometimes, I feel like I’m going crazy…” Josie slowly clenched her hands and looked at Henry with red-rimmed eyes. “I just want to know if my parents’ car accident has anything to do with you. Were you involved? Tell me the truth.” “No…” Henry shook his head desperately. Spike was a lunatic. The year Hayden got into the accident/ Spike found Henry.

“I wish I had no relation to him. If we weren’t related, could things be different between the two of us?” Henry was shivering. His wound was torn open again, and his fever wouldn’t subside. 1/4 12:50, Thu, 9 May Chapter 116 Josie’s eyes quivered as she felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a knife. “Can I really believe his words?” she wondered. “I hate myself too… If I didn’t have that madman’s blood running in my veins, everything would be different…” Spike had been taking advantage of that fact all this while. The person Henry hated most was himself. It was not that he was insecure. Rather, he was too sensitive. Whenever Josie said anything that triggered him, he would think of the family he came from. He had been abandoned, and he was threatened and used by Spike. For the rest of his life, he would not be able to escape from the confinement of their blood relations. Though he desperately tried to walk away from the dark part of his life, he

couldn’t. “Josie, I tried very hard. I tried hard not to fall in love with you….”. Before he got married, Henry had always been firm about what he wanted to do. He wanted to protect Josie. Whether it was out of kindness or consideration of their siblinghood, it was just something he had to do. It was Josie who wanted to marry him, so he did what she wanted. She shouldn’t have expected more from him. He neglected Josie too much while receiving so much from her. “But I was wrong, Jo. I love you. Give me another chance. I will deal with Spike for you. I will solve all the problems for you. You just need to stay with me… As long as Josie listened to him, he would be able to handle everything. “Henry, you are too arrogant.” Josie took a deep breath and pushed Henry away. Henry rubbed his temple in distress. In truth, he didn’t know what he was talking about. “What on earth am I doing he thought. Just then, Henry fell from the couch and collapsed onto the floor, groaning. “Jo, it hurts so badly.” Josie had her hands over her eyes as she sat by the couch. She was at a loss about what she should do. Gathering her senses, Josie stood up and tried to pull ry up. Till take you to the hospital.” Henry reached out to grab Josie’s hand. As soon as he got up, he pulled her close once again. “Give me one last chance, okay? If I make you angry and sad again, I will never pester you. I swear.” Josie bit her lips and looked away. “Henry, it’s too late.” Josie brushed Henry off and went to open the door for Cecilia. Jo.” Henry clutched the edge of Josie’s clothes as his eyes turned red. “Don’t abandon me again.” He didn’t want to go through that again. “I can’t change my family background, and I can’t change the blood flowing in my veins. But Spike has

nothing to do with 2/4 Chapter 116 me. He really has nothing to do with me. He is a crazy man. Please, don’t hate me.” Henry had always been afraid that Josie would find out about his background. He kept it from her because he was scared she would hate him. He feared that she would also dislike him because she hated Spike. “Henry, there is no hatred between us. I never attributed the death of my parents to you. I won’t hate you if you really have nothing to do with the incident. But Henry. We divorced because we have no feelings for each other.” Henry didn’t love her, and she had long lost hope. “When I needed you, you were next to another woman. When I treated you wholeheartedly, you trampled over me. I’m not telling you this because I’m still expecting something from you. I want to tell you that a missed opportunity is lost forever.” Josie let her hands droop weakly as she slowly stepped back “I did not feel happy for once when I was with you. Sorry, but I can no longer give you another chance because I’ve developed feelings for someone else. I’m sorry.” If she gave Henry another chance, it would be unfair to Samuel. “No matter what reasons you have, he’s the one who saved me when I was on the brink of death. He’s the one who stayed by my side in my weakest moments. I’m human, so my heart is capable of being warm.” With that, Josie smiled bitterly. “I guess we’re not fated to be together.” This was the farthest they could go. At that moment, Josie felt relieved. Even though Henry said he loved her, her heart no longer fluttered like it used to. Henry sat on the ground stiffly and watched Josie walk away slowly. Henry couldn’t deceive himself anymore at that point.

Josie really doesn’t love me anymore, he thought. Suddenly, Henry had the urge to go berserk. “You can only be mine…” he mumbled. “Henry, I will find the evidence so Spike can get the punishment he deserves. Hopefully, this really has nothing to do with you.” With that said, Josie turned around and opened the door. Outside, Cecilia stood there with red-rimmed, panicked eyes. She had just gone to the toilet and fallen asleep afterward, and Henry was no longer in the ward when she woke up. “Mr. Gibson! You’re in a critical situation. Why did you leave the hospital?” Cecilia asked fretfully, Josie… Henry stood up, vision turning dark. Josie paused outside the door and looked back at Henry. “I won’t give up, Henry uttered with tearful eyes. 3/4 0 Chapter 116 “I will never give up,” he thought in determination. In return, Josie advised Henry. “Mr. Gibson, I hope you don’t hurt me again and make me hate you.” “Don’t go overboard,” she continued in her heart. I won’t…” Henry hurried toward the door anxiously, calling out, “Josic, I will change Josie did not look back, but she couldn’t help but burst into tears when she entered the elevator. “How ridiculous. Henry actually said that he loves me,” she mused inwardly. She had thought she would never be able to hear that from him.
