Chapter 85

“Jo, don’t worry. I’ll accompany 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

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 relationship 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 to comfort her.

He was good at arguing, but he was not good at comforting 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.
