Chapter 85


    “Jo, don’t worry. I’ll apany you to the hospital. Hasn’t Arthur always been in good health? Grandpa


    John used to say that Arthur never got sick..


    Samuel was a little panicked. Arthur was the butler of the Gibson family and was also considered part


    of the family.


    Arthur had spent his entire life with the Gibson family and had taken care of John his whole life.


    He bears all his pain by himself. If it weren’t because he could no longer bear it anymore, he wouldn’t


    have gone


    the


    hospital. He goes for a physical examination every year. Although he knows his condition, he simply


    refused to get treatment… Josie choked, unable to control her tears.


    In the past, she often heard adults saying that the more one grew up, the lonelier one became. Back


    then, she never understood what that statement meant,


    She couldn’t understand why one would feel lonely if they were with people they loved.


    Her father, Hayden, had left the Gibson family for her mother. The three of them stayed together, and


    Josie never felt lonely


    either.


    However, after marrying Henry, she found that being forced to be in a loveless rtionship while her


    family members passed away one by one filled her life with nothing but loneliness.


    Tll stay with you… Samuel didn’t know how tofort her.


    He was good at arguing, but he was not good atforting others.


    Samuel raised his hand and patted Josie’s back as he went on, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here with you.”


    No matter what happened, he would stay by Josie’s side.


    He could feel Josie’s fear, She was afraid of being alone.


    At the age of 15, Josie lost her parents and everything from her past.


    When she returned to the Gibson family, it was unfamiliar to her.


    John was unfamiliar to her as well.


    It was probably then that Josie began to feel tortured by the feeling of loneliness.


    She longed for warmth and for someone to be by her side.


    She begged John to let her marry Henry. In her mind, she thought the marriage would bind her to


    Henry, and by doing that, she would not feel cold and lonely anymore.


    She would be able to get close to her savior infinitely, absorbing the warmth she craved.


    But in the end, the coldness she felt came from him. The loneliness she felt came from him as well, as


    did her disappointment and despair.


    “I want to get some rest. I’ll still have to go to the officeter.” Josie’s voice sounded tired.


    Ill ask for leave for you.” Samuel frowned as he thought, “How is Josie still going to work in this state?”


    “No…” Josie shook her head.


    12:26 Thu, 9 May M tij ·


    She valued her job very much.


    She wanted to finish the evaluation as soon as possible, and she wanted to have a chance to get close


    to Hazel.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    She needed to find out the truth as soon as possible.


    “You still have two hours to rest. I’ll stay here with you. I’ll wake you up at half–past eight and send you


    to the office. Samuel led Josie into his house. He did not want her to be alone.


    Josie felt a little embarrassed.


    However, Samuel took her bag and helped her take off her coat. “Go and sleep for a while.”


    Ta little filthy since I just came from the hospital,” Josie remembered that Samuel was like Henry. They


    were both germaphobes.


    Back during their school days, Reba used to pursue Samuel, but as soon as Reba got close to


    him, Samuel would feel filthy.


    Back then, many girls wanted to crawl their way into Samuel’s bed.


    However, Samuel threw away his bed and everyone who tried to get into it.


    Josie was also afraid of Samuel due to his unapproachable look.


    It was as if there were words written on his face dering to others that he was a germaphobe.


    “I’d better… Josie thought she should go home to grab some sleep.


    “Sleep Samuel pushed Josie into the bedroom.


    Josie nced at the puppy sleeping on the carpet in the bedroom, and her heart seemed to soften


    instantly. “It’s asleep. What a good little puppy.”


    “Yeah. I asked the vet. He said that puppies that are still too young tend to sleep a lot. When it wakes


    upter, I’ll take it to get


    its vination.”


    Josie’s eyes shed with disappointment and guilt. She had mentioned she would go along for the


    puppy’s vination.


    “Get some sleep.”


    In fact, Samuel hadn’t slept all night as well, but he still settled Josie into bed first.


    “Please let all the neers have a day off today. You may tell them that their managers have a


    meeting to attend and will not be around. I don’t care what reason you give. Just let Josie rest at home


    today,” said Samuel to Yuri on the phone.


    “Mr. Turner, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?” Yuri’s voice soundednguid. “It’s half past six!


    It’s only half past sixt Why can’t he just let me have a good sleep?” he thought


    “That’s all.” Samuel ended the phone call with Yuri.


    Samuel rubbed his eyebrows and stood by the window silently for a long time.


    Arthur was sick, and the people Josie cared about were leaving one by one.


    Samuel felt sorry for her, but he didn’t know how to protect her.


    Click!


    Suddenly, Samuel heard a slight sound outside the door.


    Frowning slightly, Samuel walked to the door and looked outside.


    A ck figure sneaked out of Josie’s house and went downstairs quickly.


    Samuel’s heart tightened, and he pushed the door open and walked out.


    Outside the rented house, the dark figure got into a van and disappeared into the residential area.


    Samuel took out his phone and called the police, clenching his fingers fearfully.


    He couldn’t help but think, “If Josie had gone home alone just now…”


    Before the police arrived, Henry’s car arrived hurriedly and stopped downstairs.


    Samuel’s face darkened as he thought, “I knew it Those people just now must have had something to


    do with Henry. Who else would sneak into Josie’s house?”


    Seeing Samuel standing at the door, Henry sighed with relief as his eyes darkened. “Where is Jo!”


    “Let me ask you first. Who were those people?” Samuel clenched his fingers tightly.


    “They were Spike’s people.” Henry raised his hand to rub his eyebrows. “I don’t know what he’s trying


    to do. I’ll take care of


    1. it.


    “Henry, you are the most dangerous one. It’s not me who should stay away from Josie. It’s you. Samuel


    walked to Henry softly and warned in a cold voice, “You should be able to imagine the consequences if


    I hadn’t dragged her to rest at my house this morning!


    “Spike is crazy!” Henry tried to exin.


    “So are you! Did you inherit the genes of a madman from him? Samuel was utterly consumed by his


    anger. Otherwise, het wouldn’t be saying such words to Henry.


    For the past years, he did regard Henry as his brother, and he trusted Henry very much.


    However, Henry had treated him as an idiot.


    “Samuel Turner!” Henry punched Samuel in the face.


    Samuel didn’t fight back. He just looked at Henry coldly. “What? Does that mean you agree with me?”


    *I’m taking her away.” Henry didn’t want to quarrel with Samuel anymore. He just wanted to take Josie


    away.


    He had protected Josie for three years. If Josie hadn’t insisted on getting a divorce, Spike wouldn’t


    have targeted her.


    *Do you know something about the car ident that Josie’s parents were involved in as well?” Samuel


    brought up the car ident ten years ago.


    Everyone who knew about the ident knew that someone was trying to get rid of Hayden, as he


    would be an obstacle in many people’s way if he went back to the Gibson family.


    Samuel didn’t want to believe that the ident had anything to do with Henry, but if Henry knew


    something about it, Samuel still wouldn’t be able to forgive him.


    The death of Hayden and Kathy is the cause of Jo’s mood disorder


    . You’d better not mention it or trigger her!” Henry) pushed Samuel aside, wanting to take Josie away.


    Inu, 9 May


    To him, he was the only one who could protect Josic.


    He thought, “Who does Samuel think he is? What makes him think he can protect Josie? In what


    capacity is he going to protect Josie? As the son of the Turner family? He has nothing…”


    “Who’s the one who has been triggering her? How can you be so callous, Henry? It’s all because of


    you that she’s in danger.. How dare you say these words!”


    Samuel thought Henry was indeed crazy.


    “Get lost!” Henry was scared.


    The moment he knew that someone was stalking Josie and that Zachary was back, he felt as if he had


    to keep his eyes on Josie at all times, or else he wouldn’t be able to stop worrying.


    He was afraid that something bad might happen to Josie.


    “If you are sick, go see a doctor. Has your condition gotten serious again?” Samuel frowned and


    reached out to block Henry. “I won’t let you take Josie away.”


    “Samuel, you can’t protect her. You have absolutely no idea… what she has to face.” Henry grabbed


    Samuel’s cor and spoke. in what sounded like a slightly pleading tone. “Let me take her away.”


    “Does your so–called protection mean locking her up and trapping her as if she’s a disgrace that


    shouldn’t be seen by others?”
