Chapter 96
Ashley glanced around and didn’t see Henry.
She saw Henry’s car by the window of the ward, so she came here.
“Is this Ms. Long?” Arthur smiled politely at Ashley, but he was obviously acting a little distant toward her.
Ashley walked to the bedside. “Arthur, are you feeling better? Although I’m in the inpatient area on the same floor as you, I’ve never visited you. Henry was afraid that I would run around, so he assigned someone to monitor me every day.”
Josie ignored Ashley’s two–faced mannerisms. It was clear that the latter was just there to show off. “You can return to your ward if there’s nothing else.”
“Josie… I just wanted to see Arthur. He must be angry if he knows you and Henry are divorced.”
“Ashley!” Josie stood up abruptly.
Arthur turned pale and looked at Josie uneasily.
“Arthur…” Ashley covered her mouth in astonishment and realized something. Don’t tell me that Arthur didn’t know about it yet?”
“Jo… Arthur felt a little pain in his heart, and his heart wasn’t very healthy. He always had some health issues since he was old.
“Arthur, don’t listen to her. Henry and L…” Josie comforted Arthur nervously.
“Did Henry ask to divorce?” Arthur couldn’t breathe smoothly, and his expression became grim.
“No, he didn’t… I did.” Josie bit her lip and didn’t know how to explain.
She couldn’t continue to cooperate with Henry in acting.
“Why do you have to get a divorce… That’s not good.” Arthur didn’t know what to say, but he was frantic. “Is Henry treating you badly? When he comes back, I’ll teach him a lesson!”
“W–We’ll take care of it. Don’t worry, Arthur.‘ Josie was, beginning to panic.
“It was Josie who fell in love with someone else. She fell in love with Samuel, the youngest son of the Turner family,” Ashley said indifferently.
“Get out!” Josie threw a glass of water at Ashley, feeling extremely angry.
-With a crisp sound, Ashley was startled by Josie’s behavior. But soon, Ashley smiled proudly. “Josic, this is not Henry’s fault. He can’t take the blame.”
“Til repeat it once, Get out! Josie’s voice was full of anger.
Ashley’s eyes turned red. She turned around and was about to leave when she happened to meet Henry.
“Henry…” Ashley called out to him innocently.
“Why are you here?” Henry frowned.
“Did you and Jo divorce?” Arthur asked Henry in a trembling voice.

Henry was stunned for a moment and glanced at Josie.
“Henry, I didn’t know you were hiding it from Arthur. 1… Ashley sobbed as if she was in trouble.
“Arthur, Jo and I had a misunderstanding. Now that we’ve already solved the issue, we are going to remarry. Am I right, Jo?” Henry smiled at Arthur and walked over to Josie.
Ashley’s gaze froze for a short while as she clenched her fists subconsciously.
Josie bit her lip, and her body was trembling.
“What nonsense! Pure nonsense! Marriage is not child’s play. Why are you divorcing and remarrying each other so willfully? You don’t take marriage seriously!” Arthur was genuinely outraged.
Ever since Josie had joined the Gibson family at the age of 15, Arthur had always been kind and peaceful, and he had never been angry.
But today, Arthur was so furious that he kept slamming the bed with his hands.
Henry was very good at admitting his mistake, and he stood by the bed with his head down. “Arthur, I know I’m wrong.”
“But it’s not your fault, Henry. It’s because Josie is in love with someone else. Ashley looked at Henry, heartbroken.
“Shut up Henry’s face darkened, and he looked at Ashley with a warning look. “Go back to the ward first. I’ll visit you later.”
Ashley took a deep breath and dared not move forward, as she was scared. ‘Henry….”
“Go back!” Henry interrupted Ashley.
Ashley turned around and left the ward. Before walking away, she looked back at Henry reluctantly.
Josie took a deep breath. She suspected that Ashley had studied psychology, as the latter was too good at figuring out men’s
minds.
“You two.. If your grandfather in heaven knew what was going on here, he’d be pissed off by you two.” Arthur coughed, his breath becoming more and more uneven.
“Arthur.” Josie was a little anxious.
“Arthur, don’t worry. It’s my fault. We are too ignorant. Henry hurried forward and straightened Arthur’s back. “Jo, go get a
doctor‘
Josie ran out in a hurry, her eyelids twitching violently.
‘Henry, tell me the truth. How do you feel about Jo…” Arthur stared at Henry tightly.
“I love her very much… This was the first time Henry had responded directly.
Before this, he didn’t understand that his possessive desire for Josie was always love.
“I know… John left a will, and I was his witness. If you divorce Jo, the loss will outweigh the benefit. Arthur knew Josie loved Henry very much and that Josie tried every means to marry Henry.
Therefore, Arthur didn’t believe what Ashley said at all.
Arthur was warning Henry that if the latter and Josie got divorced, the latter had to return everything to the Gibson family.
“Arthur, the reason’I want to remarry Josie isn’t because of these things.” Henry frowned.

year.
“Be nice to Ms. Yates… She lost her parents at 15, and John also left. She never overcame the trauma she endured that You can’t push her away repeatedly, as she depends on you… You will regret it for the rest of your life if you lose her forever, just like me.” Arthur sounded extremely frantic and agitated. He knew he didn’t have much longer to live, but he was not scared at all.
Arthur knew he was ill since a long time ago. He thought that if he kept it from everyone and left the world without going to the hospital, maybe he would get to see her again.
“Arthur, calm down. I’ll change. I’ll be nice to her. Don’t worry… Arthur!”
When the doctor arrived. Arthur passed out due to breathing difficulties.
The doctor said that Arthur was already weak. Even if Arthur returned home, his days were numbered.
Josie stood outside the emergency room with red eyes, and she angrily shouted at Henry, “It’s all your fault! This is all your fault! You did this to him, Henry!”
The Gibson family never should’ve adopted Henry. That was when the nightmare began.
Jo!” Henry knew Josie couldn’t stand the turmoil and trapped her in his arms. “Don’t be afraid. Arthur will be fine. Don’t be afraid.”
“Worry about Ashley! You’ll still protect her even when there’s something wrong with Arthur!” Josie grabbed Henry’s collar and cried, trembling all over.
Jo, Ashley didn’t mean it. She is a willful lady, and she doesn’t have any filter when she speaks, even when she was a child. She doesn’t have any bad intentions… Henry wanted to explain on behalf of Ashley
Henry’s impression of Ashley remained the same as when they were still in the orphanage.
At that time, without Ashley, he would probably have died in that orphanage.
That was why he took care of Ashley so much.
Josie stared at Henry with a piercing gaze and laughed sarcastically.
Josie thought, “Ashley is just a willful lady. But to him, I’m the vicious one. Because of what I said that made Ashley jump into the river, Henry was so impulsive that he almost strangled me to death. However, when Ashley says something repulsive, she is just willful and has no bad intentions.
“Henry… You’re horrible,” Josie said as she added inwardly, “You’re so biased that it’s horrible.”
