Chapter 176



Chapter 176

Chapter 176 Henry took out the voice recorder and sneered after Quinton left. He thought. “This is enough to prove that he is blackmailing me even if I can’t use the voice recording as the key evidence.” Meanwhile, Josie slept through the night and morning at Samuel’s house, possibly due to her exhaustion and being too frightened. “Josie, I’ve cooked some vegetable soup. Do you want some?” Samuel had chosen to stay at home to keep Josie company, so he was working in the study. Dressed in Samuel’s clothing, Josie walked our of the room in his oversized top with her swollen eyes. “I crave some vegetables. Josic could always express her most true, innermost thoughts with Samuel. She thought, “Maybe it’s because he pampered me so much. But this feeling of being loved is really… addictive. Now, this is what life is truly about, right? All I want is to live an ordinary, peaceful, and blessed life.” Samuel caressed Josie’s head tenderly. There are sauteed broccoli and sauteed cabbage.” Josie sniffed. “Can you add an egg for me?” She had to take care of herself properly. Samuel lifted his brow. “Why are you being so obedient today?” “Samuel, I need to… go out tomorrow.” Josie’s voice was trembling as she spoke. Even though she was unwilling to head out, she had to force herself to go to the hospital, for she had already delayed her plan of doing so for a few days. The doctor had finally seized an opportunity to help her, and Josie was unwilling to let the chance slip away just like that. “I’ll accompany you,” Samuel muttered, knowing that Josie didn’t wish for him to tag along. Josie faked nonchalance as she objected, “It’s okay. You can go back to your work. I’m fine on my own. No one will recogniz me with my mask and cap on.” She mused, “I’ve never thought I would get famous in such a manner.” Samuel didn’t insist. “Okay. Finish up your meal.” Josie nodded before stuffing the food that Samuel had prepared for her down her throat. She had

started to appreciate the dishes he prepared because she was afraid that she might not have the chance to eat them again in the future. However, Josie’s stomach churned with nausea due to her gluttony before she could finish her food. She ran into the bathroom and began to puke after she wrapped her arms around the toilet bowl. What was worse, there were even traces of blood in her vomit. The sight terrified Samuel. He stopped in his tracks, at a loss for what to do next. Josie’s eyes reddened. She couldn’t help but wonder, “Am I dying soon?”

Her vision turned dark, and Josie fell to the ground feebly. Jo! Josie was in the hospital when she awoke again, for her condition had deteriorated. Samuel sat on the bedside, deciding to have’it out with Josie. “Why didn’t you tell me?” 1/3 ||| Josie’s heart constricted as she realized that Samuel had found out the truth. “…” Josie choked on her reply, not knowing what to say. Samuel didn’t press on. Instead, he comforted Josie by wiping her face. “The doctor said you need to be admitted into the hospital. Are you thirsty?” With reddened eyes, Josie was all choked up as she shook her head. “Drink some water to soothe your throat.” Samuel brought a glass of water before her. Josie propped herself up as she took a small sip. “What did…. the doctor say?” “The doctor told me to take care of you.” Seated by the bedside, Samuel pulled Josie into his embrace, tightening his arms around her. “From now on, no matter what your identity is, whether you love me or not, or whether you are okay with it, you will have to stay by my side!” Josie leaned against Samuel’s chest weakly as she asked in a h oa se voice, “Am I going to die?” “I’ll die too…” Samuel choked. “But I won’t let your life end now.” Josie’s eyes were glassy as hallucinations that started haunting her recently appeared again. “Do youBelonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

think the people that have passed on will head to another world? Maybe they are waiting for us there. Once we leave the world, we will be reunited with them… She often felt that a lark-like woman should be dancing underneath the sunlight and that her father should be trimming Trees amongst the bushes. “Yes, they are waiting for you there. But I’m selfish. I don’t want you to reunite with them so soon.” Samuel took a deep breath before continuing his words. “The doctor told me that the experts had moved up their schedule and would be here soon. The hospital had reserved a treatment slot for you next month because things are not looking great Trepidation crept into Josie as she curled up her body fearfully. Will you… be here for me?* “Yes,” Samuel replied. He was determined to accompany Josie until her treatment was declared a success. Relief flooded Josie. She raised her hand to wipe away the warm fluid on the corner of her mouth, realizing then that her nose was bleeding. A thought raced through her mind. “It seems like my sickness has worsened.” “Jo!” Samuel visited Henry at his ward after Josie fell asleep. “Her condition has worsened, and she needs to undergo treatment from next month onward with no more delays allowed.” Samuels motive for informing Henry was to remind the latter not to involve Josie in any of his plans, for she had to undergo treatments the following month. If anything happened, then Josie’s life could be at risk. Henry got up in a panic, wanting to see Josie for himself. Samuel furrowed his brows. “You look h o rren dous. You will frighten her if you go over looking like this.” His remarks were in reference to the severe injuries on Henry’s body. Henry’s voice was h oa rse as he spoke in a low voice. “I just want to… take a look at her.” Samuel reminded him, “What are you trying to achieve here, Henry? Please don’t act rashly, and please don’t think Josie will love you forever if anything happens to you.” 2/3

||| Chapter 176 “It’s none of your business. Henry walked out of the ward. “Nobody must find out about Josie’s condition other than you and me! Can we… trust the doctor?” Samuel nodded. “The truth won’t stay hidden for long, though. Henry rubbed the spot between his brows. “At least wait until her treatment is over.” Thomas looked at the still-unconscious Ashley through the window of her ward with conflicted emotions. Hazel was a manipulative woman. She said indifferently. Josie was behind this.” Thomas clenched his fists tightly upon listening to Hazel’s remark. Finally, he let down his guard and said, “Josie is sick with leukemia. Ashley had already suspected something was wrong with Josie, and I happened to see Samuel at the hospital today. Josie is staying in a ward at the Hematology Department. Even though it’s cordoned off as a VIP area, I asked the nurse about Josie’s condition by pretending to be her assistant.” Hazel narrowed her eyes as she stayed silent. She couldn’t believe that Josie had been diagnosed with leukemia. Take good care of Ashley Hazel smiled before she turned and left. Hazel’s smile froze on her face after she entered the elevator. “Get more details about Josie’s condition. I want to know how much time she has left. The woman thought, “If Josie does not have long to live and if she dies now, I don’t have to worry about any hidden dangers anymore. Henry can live without any worries, and he doesn’t have to worry about the old man’s will! After all, Josie’s death will leave him as a widow. He didn’t divorce her. Now, all I need to do is get rid of Quinton before Josie passes away.” “Call Jessica. Let her know I want to see her. Hazel stated. She was determined to ruin Quinton. Spike’s only successor. whom he went through an extensive length to train. Meanwhile, Josie had fallen into a deep slumber in the Hematology Department. Samuel explained sadly. “It’s the effects of the drug. The condition has drained her body of all energy,”

“The doctor said that her emotions would affect her condition directly.” Samuel continued. Henry’s gaze was fixed on Josie. “She is happy when she is with you.” Josie’s face was pale, completely drained of color. Henry’s mind wandered, and he thought, “Josie got nothing out of our three-year relationship other than a sick body and hurtful experiences. Henry was aware that Josie would never be truly happy being around him. “She would never be thrilled staying with me.”“ “How could she live a happy life with a psychopath like me?” Henry thought. Then why did you force her to remarry you?” Samuel frowned. Henry was silent. Then, he spoke again. Tll never divorce her.” SEND GIFT COMMENT
