Chapter 141
Whether Samuel wanted to wait for her, it didn’t matter. At least she could do something for Samuel.
She might not be able to love Samuel as much as she loved Henry. It was unfair to both Samuel and her.
Besides, she was not sure how long she could live in such a state.

She really shouldn’t drag on with Samuel anymore.
“Why don’t you just take a look?” Henry’s voice was hoarse. Josie was always so simple. That was why she was bullied for so many years.
“As Maid, we need to trust each other. If you choose to lie to me, I can’t do anything about it.”
Henry was silent for a long time.
Josie was right. If he wanted to deceive her, there would be nothing she could do to prevent it.
Henry looked up and asked. “Let’s go to Arthur’s place tonight, okay?”
He had become cautious about everything and learned to ask for Josie’s opinion.
In the past, he always sounded like he was giving orders to Josie. But now, he was trying to respect Josie.
Maybe it was too late to make up for the past, but at least, by doing this, he could feel at ease,
Josie looked up at Henry. He used to give commands on everything, but now he was asking her for her opinion on every tiny matter.
Josie nodded and refused to travel together with Henry. “I want to head back to the office. I will head straight back after work”
Henry wanted to send Josie off, but Josie didn’t seem to want to spend too much time with him.
He didn’t want to push it too hard.
Josie went back to Clusia Media Group for a meeting. She would head to Frontier Bay in a few days to see Rebecca and Sebastian. The entry selection had basically been determined. What was left was the announcement of the leading role and several important roles.
Sebastian was selected. Although it was not an important character, it was still a pleasant one.
As for Rebecca… Josie was a little worried.
She worked the hardest, and her acting was impeccable. It would be too shocking if she was not even given a minor role.
“Jo As soon as Josie entered the office, Samuel rushed in..
He had been calling Josie, but she didn’t answer.
“Jo… You didn’t come home last night.” Samuel was a little worried.
“Samuel, Henry and I remarried”
Josie didn’t mean to ignore Samuel’s call. She just didn’t know how to face him.

Samuel was stunned and thought that he must have heard it wrong
Jo… Did Henry threaten you? Don’t worry about the Santalum residence. Grandpa said it wouldn’t matter. He does not care. It’s an old memory for him. It’s useless keeping it. Henry can develop it if he wants… Samuel panicked a little.
“We’ve remarried. We just got the marriage certificate today. He gave me the Santalum Alley and the Santalum residence. I’ll ask the lawyer to register them under your name. They contain fond memories of the older generation. The property originally belongs to Grandpa and Grandpa Lewis rightfully, so it is only right to give them to you.”
Josie lowered her head and didn’t dare look into Samuel’s eyes.
“Josie, is Henry threatening you? Is he threatening you with the Santalum residence? Don’t be afraid. Just get a divorce with him again…” Samuel looked at Josie nervously. He just wanted to see Josie’s reaction.
If Josie was really threatened, he would figure out a way.
“No, this is what I want.” Josie shook her head and then said, “I’m sorry… Please don’t wait for me.”
She was not sure how long she could hold on.
She thought it would be best not to give Samuel any more hope
“Why do I have to listen to you?” Samuel turned and left the office. He didn’t want to face Josie now.
Josie wouldn’t tell him the truth.
Josie would never remarry Henry willingly. It must be Henry who forced her! Samuel thought.
“Samuel Josie rushed out of the office but didn’t have the courage to explain further.
There was no doubt that she didn’t deserve Samuel.
At the Lake House, Henry was still at home when he heard someone slamming the door.
He knew who it was instantly.
Henry opened the door, leaned against the wall, and stared ahead.
“What did you do to Josie?” Samuel’s eyes were red as he grabbed Henry’s collar. “What are you threatening her with?
“Well, we are husband and wife, and we have feelings for each other. She couldn’t forget me, so she decided to remarry me. How could this be a threat?” Henry was fearless.
“Bullshit!” Samuel’s breathing trembled. He questioned, “How long are you going to force her? Do you really love her? You never really cared about her. All you know is to threaten and force her!”
Henry said in a deep voice, “We were in love for ten years…”
“You ruined the ten years of affection in three years of marriage!” Samuel shouted. He pulled Henry’s collar and asked, “What right do you have to threaten and trap her again?”
What Henry did was not right.
“I love her…” Henry reminded Samuel that he would not give up his last chance.
“You love her? Ha!” Samuel laughed. That was the greatest joke of the day.
“You said you love her? What kind of love is that? Is hurting her your way of loving? She loved you for ten years and was

married to you for three years! Did you know that she was afraid of sitting in private cars, that she didn’t like root vegetables, and that she was allergic to peanuts? You know nothing!” Samuel roared.
Henry clenched his fingers slowly, “I will change… I’ll try to love her.”
“Change? You two were married for three whole years, but when she was bleeding out because of ectopic pregnancy, you were messing around with Ashley. Josie cried so much that she fainted! And what were you doing when Josie was framed, provoked, and tricked by Ashley? When she was tricked into being bullied at Harmony Supermarket. What were you doing?”
Fuming. Samuel continued, “Henry… You trust Ashley more than her. You almost strangled her when Ashley jumped off the river! What right do you have to keep her by your side?”
Samuel lost control, knowing that he was not strong enough back then. He had not expected Henry to divorce Josie.
Samuel immediately showed up before Josie when he heard about the divorce. He did not care if he could protect her. He wanted at least to try so he would not regret it again.
He had lived in regrets for three years. If he had had the courage three years ago, even if Josie disagreed, he would not have had regrets.
He was once timid and lost, and he didn’t want to let до
this time.
“Henry… You don’t deserve to say you love her. Do you know… that she is sick?” Samuel’s hand holding Henry’s collar kept trembling.
He continued, “Do you know she has acute promyelocytic leukemia M3? You are the one who spends the most time with her. You should have cared for and loved her, but you don’t even know that she is sick!”
Henry’s body suddenly stiffened. He grabbed Samuel’s wrist with his backhand, and his voice trembled. “You… What did you say?”
Samuel explained, “She found out she had acute promyelocytic leukemia M3 a year ago. She had an onset half a year ago. She had nosebleeds and fainted. Did you ever care? Does your heart even ache for her?”
Samuel’s heart was bleeding. He couldn’t imagine how much Josie had suffered and how she was being neglected because of Henry.
*She… She never mentioned it!” Henry’s eyes also turned scarlet.
Josie never said anything.
“She would rather hide it from the world! If I noticed, why had you not? How dare you still say that you love her? You don’t
even care!”
Samuel pushed Henry away and leaned against the wall, breathing fast. “Let her go please..
