Chapter 133
Josie was stunned for a moment, and her smile froze on her face.
She did not know how to respond to Samuel
In truth, she was really happy to be with him. She did not have to think about so much trouble.
Unlike Henry. She had to worry about those women when she was with him all the time.
Compared with Henry, Samuel’s cold look really kept many women at a distance.
He was a reassuring man.
“Miss, this crab cake is specially steamed for you. I know you young people don’t like to eat fat Becky put down the food warmly with a regretful look on her face. “I wanted to introduce you to my nephew.”
Josie smiled. “Becky, keep your nephew first. I’ll introduce him to a suitable girl if I have one.”
“Haha, that’s great!”
Josie enjoyed joking around in this stall.
That was why Josie was willing to come here for dinner.
She still remembered that half a year ago, she wanted to bring Henry here since Becky urged her to.
She really felt that the crab cake made by Becky was delicious and reminded her of her mother.
It was her birthday back then. She said to Henry, “I don’t want any gift. Just have dinner with me.”
Henry had promised, but when he arrived at the stall door, he scolded her with a dark face and said that the place was unsanitary. In the end, they went back unhappily.
After all, Henry would never understand what she wanted.
“Henry, I don’t eat here every day. Just accompany me once, okay?” Josie was humble and kept pleading with Henry.
“I’ve booked a table at Norman Hotel. I’ll accompany you today.”
After that, Henry gave her so–called surprises and gifts. He took the time to accompany her on her birthday.
However, that made Josie feel like he was doing her a favor. She did not feel like she was living a life that a couple should
have.
The night gradually fell, and Hofcaster was shrouded in light rain.
Zachary was injured and was chased by others today. When he came back, he was covered in mud.
Zachary hid in the safe passage, then carefully took his shoes and put them on the shoe rack.
As soon as Zachary opened the door, his breathing was stagnant, and his eyes were burning hot.
He saw a pair of men’s slippers placed at the door.
Zachary bent down and picked up the note with his trembling fingers. It was from Josie asking him to put on his slippers.
Chapter 133
Tears instantly gathered in his eyes. After his father died more than ten years ago, no one really cared about him.
Zachary put on his slippers as he breathed heavily, and his gaze turned dark. His wound was torn again, but he did not dare to go to the hospital or buy medicine in the pharmacy.
As Zachary walked to the table, he saw hot water had been boiled, and there was anti–inflammatory medicine on the table and medicine applied to trauma.
He turned around and saw a note on the refrigerator that told him to eat well and not waste food.
Josie… She knows that I had been here,” he thought.
Zachary’s eyes were red, and he felt a little dizzy. His mind was always filled with Josie’s face, not the way she looked now,
but ten years ago.
She was a little girl who stood in front of him with the injured puppy in her arms.
When he entered the bathroom, Zachary washed off the blood stains and saw a clean and soft bath towel with a note. “The bath towel is clean. Remember to hang it on the balcony after use.
Zachary smiled as he took the bath towel. He could not remember the last time he laughed.
He was reluctant to use the bath towel and wanted to spread it on the floor so that he could sleep well.
However, Josie had changed a new sheet in the bedroom and said that if he did not sleep on it, it meant he disliked it.
Zachary’s fingers weakly brushed the soft bed he sat on. “I would only ask for more if it’s like this,” he thought.
Back then, in addition to his guilt of kidnapping her, it was only because of the smile on Josie’s face that he had guarded her fanatically for ten years.
In fact, Josie did not need his protection.
As he slowly lay on the bed, Zachary felt that he was sinking deeper and deeper.
The most terrible thing was not hell, but heaven.
Heaven would drive a man crazy.
Zachary knew that he would never hurt Josie again.
As a matter of fact, Josie was the only redemption in his life in hell.
Meanwhile, at Frontier Bay Hospital.
Ashley refused to cooperate with the doctor as she curled up in the corner in horror.
“Don’t come over. Don’t come over. Henry, I’m scared…” She cried and hugged herself as if she was really in fear.
“Ashley, be good. Let the doctor check on you first.” Henry came over to comfort Ashley.
“Henry, I’m scared. I’m really scared. Why haven’t the police caught Zachary yet?” Ashley kept crying. She held Henry and was reluctant to let go.
Henry sighed and his gaze darkened.
“What had Zachary done to Ashley, which made her so scared? he thought.

“Don’t worry. I will get him,” he promised.
“Henry, please don’t let me live alone. I want to live with you.” Ashley looked at Henry nervously and said again, “He will keep an eye on me, Henry
Ashley knew very well that Henry would let her stand in the spotlight to attract Zachary,
He hid Josie so well because he wanted to use Ashley to draw Zachary out. He did not want Josie to be in any danger.
As long as Henry wanted to catch Zachary, he would definitely let Ashley live in his house.
“Henry…” Ashley cried and hugged Henry tightly.
You
can avoid Zachary by living with him?” Josie asked in a deep voice as she stood by the door.
“Jo,” Henry responded happily and wanted to stay away from Ashley, but Ashley hugged him tightly.
Henry was a little panicked, afraid that Josie might misunderstand.
Josie, I just… I’m just afraid that Zachary will find me. I only trust Henry. Ashley hugged Henry, aggrieved.
Josie did not say anything, and her eyes showed no emotion. “He was even stabbed. How can he protect you?”
Ashley stopped talking, but she still held Henry tightly.
“Ah, the wound is bleeding, Ashley, why did you use so much force? Did you forget about his wound?” Josie was shocked and pulled Henry aside while Ashley let go of him. “Ashley, I thought you deeply cared about Henry, but you pressed hard on his wound
Ashley was stunned by Josie’s sudden words.
Josie’s acting skills were a bit rough, but Samuel said that she should not go easy on someone like Ashley.
As expected, Henry was blind. He did not realize that Josie was deliberately acting. He thought that Josie really cared about him, and he felt full of joy.
Henry took the opportunity to pull Josie into his arms and began to pretend to be ill. “Jo, the wound hurts.”
Josie frowned and avoided Henry. I’ve boiled some ravioli for you.”
Henry walked behind Josie happily. “Did you make it?”
“No.” Josie sounded indifferent.
Ashley, who was being ignored, bit her lips hard, and cursed internally, “Josie!”
She almost persuaded Henry to let her live in his house.
Yet, Josie showed up and ruined it.
“Henry, I’m sorry. I didn’t know your wound was torn open again. It was all because of me. Zachary wouldn’t have targeted Josie if it weren’t for me.” Ashley began to blame Zachary again.
“Since Zachary is targeting you and me, it is more convenient for the police to protect us if we live together. Why don’t you come to my house?” Josie raised her eyebrows and deliberately provoked Ashley.
Ashley gritted her teeth and clenched her hands tightly until she shivered.

When Josie saw that Ashley did not say anything, she pinched herself like how Ashley did, and her eyes instantly turned red. “Don’t you trust me? Or do you want to be alone with Henry?”
