Chapter 216
She wondered how Thomas was doing. If he was involved in the kidnapping, it would be impossible for him to
be released at that time.
Actually, Ashley did not really care about Thomas at all, but she was used to having him around.
Especially at night.
Over the years, she often had nightmares, but she would feel at ease as long as Thomas was with her.
Now, no one would accompany her in the middle of the night. Nobody knew she had to drink water when she coughed. No one knew what she wanted when she reached out.
Feeling sad, Ashley looked sideways out of the window.
The sun was shining, but she felt empty.
Thomas was trash for the most part, yet he was obedient to her when it mattered.
“Ms. Long, I’m your caregiver. I bought you a roast beef sandwich and a clam chowder. Mr. Gibson said it’s your favorite.” The caregiver was a young boy.
Ashley felt warm in her heart, as Henry still remembered what she liked to eat, but she could not eat these now.
The doctor also told her.
It would be difficult to digest the roast beef sandwich.
“Do you not like it, Ms. Long? I’ll call Mr. Gibson and tell him not to buy these next time.” The caregiver wanted to call Henry.
“Don’t… No. I just don’t have an appetite for the time being.” Ashley was about to get angry, but when she thought that the caregiver was Henry’s person, she instantly changed her tone.
Putting the phone back in his pocket, the caregiver said, “Ms. Long, have some. It’s still hot.”
Ashley had ns choice but to take a few bites. “Ahem… I can’t eat it anymore.”
“No. The doctor said you geed more nutrition now,” the caregiver said naively.

Chapter 216
Ashley was about to curse at him. She mused, “How nutritious are the roast beef sandwich and the clam chowder? At least make me some chicken soup.”
However, Ashley put up with it, took a few more bites, and started throwing up.
The caregiver got up to take care of her and was leaving after breakfast. “Ms. Long, I’ll come back at noon.”
“Stop… Today… You stay with me all day.” Ashley was scared. Otherwise, she would not let a strange boy accompany her.
“Okay, Ms. Long.”
In Josie’s ward, the butler of the Turner family was in charge of delivering the meals, whereas Tania was responsible for cooking, as she was worried about the food outside.
Feeling good these days, Josie sat cross–legged.
“This chicken soup is so delicious!” Josie was a little happy.
“Well, we’ll go home when your treatment is over. You can ask Mom to cook for you every day.” Samuel was actually scared, but he looked calm.
Josie was going to be treated tomorrow, so she could not eat anything after twelve o’clock.
Hearing that, Josie nodded. She wondered if God would give her such a–happy life.
“Samuel, you have loved me all these years. Why have you never thought of chasing me?” If Samuel had been a little shameless and chased her on the first day she returned to the Gibson family, she might have fallen in love with him.
After all, Henry did not love her.
“I did. Wasn’t it popular to write love letters at that time? Ahem.” Samuel blushed and looked away.
Josie was amused by Samuel’s expression. “You didn’t write me a love letter, did you? Hahaha.”
It was really hard to imagine that Samuel, who had always been cold, vicious, and could make a little girl cry easily, would write her a love letter.
She wanted to go back to the past and see the love letter.

“Don’t laugh.” Samuel pinched Josie’s face. Her face was finally getting a little chubby because of him.
Josie held back her laughter. “Mr. Turner, do you remember the contents of the love letter?”
“I don’t remember!” Samuel snorted.
He remembered, of course. He had asked his classmate to write a love letter for him all night, but he was not satisfied, so he wrote one by himself. It read: [Josie, I have a crush on you. Together with me. Samuel!]
Unfortunately, Josie did not even read it and threw it into the trash can with other love letters on the table.
Thinking carefully, Josie mused, “At that time, I received many love letters every day. Samuel’s love letters should be in the pile of love letters I threw away, right?”
She regretted it.
“When your treatment is successful, I’ll tell you what I wrote in my love letter. I can recite it word for word.” Samuel lowered his head and held Josie in his arms.
Josie was a little surprised. She wondered, “What did he write? How can he remember it clearly? It’s been so many years.”

“Okay, I’ll be fine. I’m waiting for you to tell me what you wrote.”
Josie’s voice quavered. She did not want to be so hypocritical, as it was not about life and death. It was nothing but a slow healing after successful treatment and a slow deterioration after a failed treatment until she left the world.
Outside the ward was Henry. Knowing that Josie was going to be treated tomorrow, he came to see her, as he worried about her.
But he did not have the courage to enter the ward.
He did not know how to face Josie.
His heart hurt so much every time he saw Josie.
Henry regretted that he had lost the person he loved most.
Still, reality told Fenry that regret was useless.

Chapter 216
No one would give him a second chance.
Henry could only stand silently outside the ward and say cautiously, “Jo, you need to get better. Everything will
be fine.”
Henry would let her be free as long as she was fine..
At the exit, Zachary leaned against the door frame and looked at Henry. Henry looked lonely, but he asked for it.
Shaking his head, Zachary turned around and lit a cigarette.
There were a lot of cigarette butts in the exit passageway. It should be that the patients‘ family members would come to smoke when they were melancholy.
This was a hospital, after all. Every breath made people feel sad.
He also prayed that Josie would get better.
Zachary thought to himself, “What is the point of living if God takes away such a good person’and leaves behind a vicious woman like Ashley?”
Zachary smiled bitterly and looked up at the corridor.
He wanted to let everyone see Ashley’s true colors to prove his father’s innocence.
But Ashley was too cunning..
She was so vicious at such a young age.
It might be difficult for him to see hope again..
At least he was still the winner, as Henry knew Ashley’s true colors.
He won.
Henry would not be blinded by Ashley anymore.
Ashley could not use Henry to do anything wrong.
At this rate, it would not take long for Ashley to suffer the consequences.

Chapter 216
Zachary felt it did not matter, even if he could not prove his father’s innocence.
As long as Ashley could get the punishment she deserved.
And Josie could get better quickly.
At night, the caregiver stayed in the ward and guarded Ashley.
Ashley did not dare to sleep or let the caregiver sleep. Still, the latter leaned on the small bed, fell asleep quickly,
and snored.
Ashley was a little annoyed and forcefully took the blanket to cover her ears.
Suddenly, Ashley heard a knock outside the window.
