Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 221

Never in a million years would Quinton expect Charles to back down like that.

Not another word escaped Charles as he left the scene on the spot.

Quinton, in turn, let out a snort and rubbed his cheek.

“That was such a strong punch from Henry. How brutal of him,” he secretly grumbled.

Meanwhile, Josie had awakened in Hofcaster Hospital. However, she was flustered when she woke up. After she had completed her treatment, she became a nervous wreck despite no longer suffering from much physical pain.

Josie was terrified of death.

For a very long time, she had lost the will to live. Yet, it was her parents who had given her life, so she figured she had to press on.

She could still remember Hayden and Kathy’s last words when they shoved her out of the car desperately. “Live

well, Jo. You must survive!”

That was when Josie lost her courage to seek death. She feared that she would be admonished by her parents in the afterlife for not putting in more effort and trying her utmost to survive.

She slowly came to realize that it was surely a blessing to be alive.

Sometime later, Josie had nearly broken down altogether when Henry gave her nothing more than the cold shoulder. It was as though she was pushed down an abyss. She started to doubt herself as to whether she was

too dumb or simply not outstanding enough. She drove herself crazy because of it.

Josie then began to blame herself and devalue her own worth, so much so that she had second thoughts about

her own existence.

She reckoned that her parents should have been the ones who survived.

Failing to come up with a reason to live, Josie even thought of putting an end to her own life.

However, consisting that she was still breathing, she would find meaning to make her life worthwhile.

No longer would Josie wish to be greeted by Samuel’s dejected gaze, which was inundated with nothing but disappointment and despair.

She had to live on for the people who loved her, if not for herself.

“You’re awake, Ms. Yates! Are you feeling all right?” asked the doctor with a smile as he came into the ward.

Josie could not muster any strength to offer a response. All she did was blink at the doctor.

“The treatment was a success. You ought to try staying in a good mood to recuperate well,” advised the doctor, casting a glance outside the window at Samuel, who had been sitting there waiting all night long and refusing to leave.

“You’re very lucky to have such a good man like Mr. Turner to be by your side, Ms. Yates.” The doctor flashed a grin as he spoke.
