Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 207

In Hofcaster Hospital.

“Doctor! Doctor! The patient is showing signs of consciousness, doctor!”

“The caregiver found that the patient’s fingers were moving while taking care of her.” The nurse called the doctors and asked them to check if Ashley showed signs of recovery.

Ashley, who had been in a coma for a long time, slowly opened her eyes.

“Thomas…” Her voice was hoarse and dry.

She murmured Thomas‘ name as soon as she woke up.

It was a pity that while she was in a coma, Thomas had violated the law and couldn’t show up to see her again.

“Ms. Long, you just woke up and need a good rest.” The doctor checked her and contacted Henry when he left

the ward.

At a barbecue stall located at the roadside, Henry had been disgusted to drink beer at first, but now he drank many glasses of the beverage.

After Henry answered the phone call, his face darkened instantly.

Zachary was still eating the barbecued food. Seeing that Henry’s face turned grim, Zachary turned inexplicably

nervous.

“The call was from the hospital.” Henry was a little irritable.

“What happened to Jo?” Zachary was slightly nervous.

“No, it’s about Ashley. She’s awake,” Henry replied.

At this moment, Zachary’s face turned paler than Henry’s. “Even God doesn’t want anything to do with that scourge. We will have the law punish her.”

Henry got uptrom his seat. “I have to go to the hospital. Do you want to follow me?”

“I’m your bodyguard, so.

Just then, Zachary’s eyes caught something.

Zachary’s breath hitched in his throat when he saw a black Passat hit the roadside. He dragged Henry to the

ground.

Henry’s eyes darkened. Just as he was about to get up, several people got off the car and swung at him with

sticks.

Zachary frowned and immediately stood in front of Henry to cover him. A stick hit Zachary on the back.

Henry kicked the attacking man away and pulled Zachary up. He then picked up a plate on the table and smashed it at the attacking man.

“We’ve called the police!” the shop owner shouted in panic.

All the unknown men heard it and turned around to leave.

They showed up today to give Henry a warning.

“Were they sent by Hazel?” Zachary asked as he clutched his shoulder.

If Spike did not send those men, they had to be sent by the person who took Hazel away, and the person had to

be Silas.

“Let’s go to the hospital first.” Henry pulled Zachary to get in the car. “Are you all right?”

“I’m not made from fragile materials.” Zachary felt pain, but he could bear it.

Henry’s face darkened, his eyes showing conflicted emotions.

After getting along with Zachary all this while, Henry could confirm that Zachary was not the kind of scum and bastard Ashley had told him before.

It was enough to show that Ashley had been lying to him from the beginning.

She had been lying to him all along…

If it weren’t for Ashley, he and Josie wouldn’t have gotten to this point.

Seeing that Henry was deep in thought, Zachary asked in a deep voice, “What are you going to do with Ashley?”

“If Ashley still has a purpose to serve after her awakening, Hazel will definitely find her.” Henry sighed. “We haven’t found evidence of Ashley’s crime yet. You have to put up with it.”

It had been so many years since the incident with Zachary’s father. Unless Ashley chose to plead guilty, it would be difficult to find new evidence of her crime.

Since Zachary’s father was dead, there was no one to reveal the truth.

“I know. The hope is slim, or I wouldn’t have been keeping an eye on her all these years…” Zachary looked out of

the window.

He would have found the evidence of her crime sooner if there had been a way or proof.

However, Ashley was still very young at that time. No one would doubt what a little girl said.

“I’m sorry…” Henry took the initiative to apologize.

Zachary was surprised and glanced at Henry.

He thought, “Is this the Henry I know? Did he just apologize to me?” He then said, “Has the world changed? You’re apologizing to me?”

“I’m sorry. I had been deceived before. I believed the wrong person and did the wrong thing. I did the wrong thing to you and Jo… I made too many irreparable mistakes, but I… I’ll do everything I can to make it up to the both of you.” Henry’s voice was hoarse.

Zachary took a deep breath. “Forget about making up. Just quickly deal with Spike and let Jo live a safe life…”

At Hofcaster Hospital, since Josie didn’t take medicine, her drowsiness was no longer severe. She could stay awake for six hours a day.

Sitting on the hospital bed, Josie played chess with Samuel cross–legged.

“You lost!” Josie laughed happily. Samuel didn’t win even once, but she was still happy, despite knowing that he purposely let her win.

“You are amazing.” Samuel snickered.

“You

purposely lost to me.” Josie rearranged the chess piece and propped her head up. “The loser has to promise the winner one thing. Let’s play seriously in the next game.”

Samuel’s chesi tightened, and he nodded.

This time, Samuel still let Josie win on purpose.

“Tell me your wish. I’ll agree to anything you say.” Samuel looked at Josie with a piercing gaze.

“If my treatment fails, let it go and forget about me. Promise me you will return to your normal life.” Josie suddenly looked at Samuel seriously and took a deep breath.

Samuel’s heart ached. “No.”

“I’ll give you another chance to win, then.” Josie smiled.

She knew Samuel wouldn’t agree to that.

They played another round of chess again. This time, Samuel won.

“I can promise you one thing.” Josie’s eyes reddened and became watery.

“Marry me…” Samuel’s voice was trembling.

Josie smiled with tears in her eyes. “Samuel, your proposal is so hasty.”

“As long as you finish the treatment safely, I will do it properly again.” Samuel hugged Josie. “I will be good to

you, Josie… so please promise to marry me.”

Her tears emerged from her eyes. Josie couldn’t give Samuel any response to the proposal this soon.

“I’ll get better, and I want to get better.” She didn’t want to die more than anyone else.

She had been living strongly from the very beginning.

At Clusia Media Group, Yuri took Madelyn to have fun and go shopping after work.

“You’re really letting me buy whatever I want?” Before getting in the car, Madelyn wanted to make sure again.

“Do I look like someone who can’t afford to buy anything for you?” Yuri smiled.

“Okay, I’ll trust you for now.” Madelyn readied to get in the car and sit in the back seat. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Who would like their girlfriend to sit in the back?” Yuri raised his eyebrows.

Madelyn rolled her eyes and thought, “Why is he so serious?”

Madelyn slammed the doar of the backseat and got in the passenger seat. “I want to buy two handbags. Jo is

about to receive treatment, so I want to give them to her as a gift.”

“Whatever you like.” Yuri was being generous.

Madelyn’s eyes sparkled. She thought, “How rich can he be?”

When they arrived at the mall, Madelyn excitedly looked at a long counter placed with all the handbags. “Handbags, I’m coming for you!”

Yuri followed Madelyn behind calmly. She was going to choose the bags she wanted to buy, and he was going to be responsible for paying.

“Mr. Yancey?”

Yuri’s social circle was considered small, yet he still met his acquaintances everywhere.

One of Yuri’s business partners saw him and shook hands with him excitedly. “Is Mr. Yancey accompanying…”

After looking at Madelyn, who was busy choosing handbags, the business partner was unsure who she was.

“My girlfriend.” Yuri smiled dotingly.

“You’re really a good man, Mr. Yancey. You bring your girlfriend here for shopping.” A gorgeous woman was standing beside the business partner.

Yuri nodded “What else would a man do when he makes money and doesn’t spend it on his girlfriend?”

The woman beside the business partner looked envious.

The partner also praised Yuri, saying, “Mr. Yancey is truly a good man.”
