Josie’s breathing became more erratic. Her face was pale, like a corpse shining in from the window under the light.

Henry was startled and let go of Josie abruptly.

He had lived together with Josie for the last three years.

“Harry, get out…

The atmosphere was eerily quiet as Josie ordered Henry from her dark corner.

Henry’s footsteps abruptly stopped near the bathroom door as he suddenly remembered that he and Josie had divorced.

However, his breath tightened. Henry looked at Josie with a sharp look. “What did you call me?”

“Harry, Josie said, repeating his nickname.

Since Josie entered the Gibson family, she had always called him Harry.
