Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

“Mr. Gibson, Ms. Yates is too weak and can’t be triggered. She has a history of post–traumatic stress disorder, so try not to agitate her.” The Gibsons family doctor used to take care of John and was familiar with Josie’s condition.

On the other hand, all Henry knew was that Josie often fell ill after returning to the Gibson family when she was 15. Moreover, she was very withdrawn and never rode the Gibson family’s car. She always went to school on foot or took a bus.

After getting married, he got used to Josie’s personality. She did not want to take private cars, and he would not question her.

Henry had taken over Gibson Corporation, For the past three years, he became so preoccupied with managing the company that he did not have time to care for Josie.

Henry quietly looked at Josie, who was in a deep slumber, as he sat by her bed.

Over the years, he had never looked at her face carefully.

“Please be good. Henry frowned.

Josie slowly opened her eyes when she heard the sounds of water running in the bathroom.

Henry’s phone kept vibrating, and the screen showed that the call was from Ash.

“It’s Ashley…” thought Josie.

With a bitter smile, Josie picked up Henry’s phone.

Henry saved Josie’s name in his contact list as Josie Yates but kept Ashley’s as Ash.

As expected, it was clear at a glance whom he loved.

“Henry, where are you? I think I had too much to drink. Can I go to your place… asked Ashley. Josie answered the phone. She knew doing so was taboo to Henry, but she still did it anyway.

What else did she have left to fear?

She had already compromised.

“Henry… I’m so upset, cried Ashley.

Josie could tell that Ashley was drunk based on her voice.

“Is she coming to meet Henry at home?” she mused.

Josie scoffed and hung up the phone. Her fingers were trembling.

Suddenly, she felt as if she was lying on pins and needles. She couldn’t help wondering if Ashley had slept there when she was not home.

“A bed in which three people have slept. How dirty,” Josie thought.

Josie then lost control of her emotions and grabbed a pair of scissors. She tore the bedsheet into shreds. She felt like a lunatic who had lost her mind.

Tears streamed down her face as Josie slowly slid onto the ground.
