Ex-Husband’s Endless Pestering

Chapter 218 Hazel's face darkened at once. "Serwas willing to do it. What does that have to do with me? Besides, I asked him to run Hayden and Kathy over, but I didn't ask him to kill them!" Silas cursed the vicious Hazel, but he could not get out of the situation because of her.

They were all in the sboat. Spike would not let him or Hazel off the hook.

Hence, they had to cooperate temporarily.

Josie's treatment lasted for a long time. The men were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when the nurse cout with a smile on her face and told them everything went well.

"However, she still needs to be observed in the intensive care unit for stime. She can't leave for the tbeing, and you all cannot go in to visit her either, so please return hand get srest. We'll inform immediately if anything happens," said the nurse.

you Henry was relieved and sent a glance in Samuel's direction. "We'll go first. You stay here." The former needed to see Ashley.

The inpatient department called and said that Ashley was frightened the night before and suffered from hallucinations as a result.

Henry knew that it was Samuel's doing.

Everything Ashley said out of fear was recorded, but that was not sufficient.

She had to admit it while her mind was clear.

Moreover, Ashley was no fool. She got transferred to the crowded recovery ward the next day. Being around people would give her scourage, and Samuel could not scare her easily.

Samuel had no tto deal with Ashley that day, so he left everything to his subordinates, No matter where Ashley went, it was all arranged by him.

Over at the recovery ward, Ashley was trying to get out of bed and was exercising hard.

1/5 She had been lying in bed for a while. Thus, she felt uncomfortable and weak when she finally got out of bed. Fortunately, Ashley didn't spend much tin bed.

"Why are you in such a ward?" Henry entered the ward, his expression darkening. “There are too many people here." "It's fine, Henry. I don't want any special treatment." Ashley's smile was extremely kind.

If Henry hadn't heard the recording of the things she said while she was in a crazed state, he wouldn't have known how vicious and selfish Ashley could be.

She did all those things to her adopted family solely because they were poor, Ashley was the textbook definition of an ungrateful person.

Henry subconsciously turned around to look at the door. "Zachary heard the recording, too... He must be feeling terrible right now," he thought.

Ashley who caused his father's death and ruined his family was right in front of his eyes, but there was nothing Zachary could do but contain himself.

That was because the law would punish Ashley for him.

"Let Clifford stay with you. I have to go pay Spike and his gang a visit, so I can't accompany you anymore." Seeing Ashley trying to approach him, Henry instinctively dodged her in disgust, refusing to let Ashley touch him. Meanwhile, Ashley felt a little dejected after failing to touch Henry.

"Henry, about Thomas..." She wanted to know how the latter was.

"He was involved in Josie's abduction. It's a felony. It's terrifying that he managed to hide all of that and remain by your side, but the best part of the misfortune is that I suspect he has something to do with you being thrown into the cellar," Henry deliberately revealed in a low voice.

"No!" Ashley was a little flustered, for it wasn't Thomas' doing.

When he heard this, Henry's intense gaze bore into Ashley. "Huh?" "No, I know it wan't him." Ashley waved. "That's not what I meant. I mean, I believe him.” 2/5 "You're too foolish, so you're easily deceived by others," Henry comforted her. "Have a good rest. I'm leaving now." Ashley was rather disappointed. She couldn't help but think that if Henry had stayed with her that night, then she wouldn't be as terrified.

At the stime, however, she was afraid that she might see something weird and arouse Henry's suspicion. In truth, she missed the days when Thomas was around.

"Clifford, chere and hold me!" Ashley appeared impatient as soon as Henry left.

Hearing her words, Clifford quickly went over to support Ashley as she sat down.

"Where's my phone?" Ashley asked, sitting nervously on the bed.

She had to have a phone.

"Ms. Long, your phone ran out of battery. I'm charging it for you at the nurse's desk," Clifford responded with a smile.

As such, Ashley didn't think too much of it.

Josie's treatment was a great success, but she had to remais hours.

observation at the intensive care unit for 42 All along, Samuel remained outside her ward and was talking to the doctor.

Madelyn breathed a sigh of relief and instinctively hugged Yuri out of excitement. "Oh my goodness! This is great news! I knew she'd be fine," she cried.

Yuri patted Madelyn's back in an attempt to comfort her. "Everything's fine now. We just have to wait for her to wake up." "The recovery rate for acute promyelocytic leukemia M3 is high, but we have to ensure that there won't be a relapse in the future. Her diet and mood, as well as rehabilitation thereafter are extremely important," the doctor. reminded Samuel.

Hearing this, Gamuel nodded in understanding. "Don't worry, I'll take care of her." "As long as Josie recovers and leaves the hospital, I'll definitely take good care of her and make sure she's 3/5 "This course of treatment is the latest of its kind. Heaven helps the worthy, and Ms. Yates is a good person. I'm sure she'll be just fine." "Thank you, doctor." At the Gibson residence, Henry wanted to remain in the hospital, but he knew that his presence there was meaningless.

Josie didn't need him anymore.

Zachary brought a case of beer and ssnacks. Then, he proceeded to set them down on a stone table in the yard.

Henry frowned upon seeing this. "That case of beer only costs a few dollars. Is he serious?" he thought before saying to Zachary, "You said you'd cook. Is this what you meant?" "Why are you in such a hurry? These are just snacks for the beer. I haven't even started cooking yet." Zachary rolled up his sleeves as he made his way toward the kitchen.

There was nothing wrong with his cooking skills, but Henry didn't believe that Zachary could cook! He e was pleasantly surprised when he trailed behind the latter and took a peek. It seemed that Zachary wasn't lying at all. "I didn't expect you to have the potential to beca great chef. If you're ever bored of your current job, your start a restaurant." Henry let out a sarcastic chuckle.

Zachary ignored Henry. The truth was, their minds were both weighed down with heavy thoughts.

In the past, Zachary knew that Ashley caused his father's death, but it felt different to hear it from the culprit herself. It was an uncomfortable feeling that couldn't be described in words.

"Here it a try. My hometown's specialty, the Sloummont braised chicken: Zachary brought out a plate of braised chicken. For the past decade, he had been longing for a warm meal.

Henry took a bite of the chicken. It was slightly spicy but flavorful. Indeed, it was comparable to that of a restaurant.

"Back then, my father said that if I didn't want to study or go to college, he would allowto learn how to cook, Everyone had to eat. Even if I lose my job, my skills will still be useful... at home," Zachary said while pouring 4/5 hapter 218 imself a glass of beer. There was a slight smile tugging at his l*ps.

My mom died early. She died due to complications in labor while giving birth to my sister, who@sadid not urvive." Zachary's eyes turned red. "Ashley... My dad said that she resembled my mom. At first glance, he saw ny sister in her... so he wanted to adopt her." How did she resemble my mom? That vicious woman is nothing like my mom." Zachary seemed slightly out of control and was talking as if he was venting his anger.

Their nightmare began when they adopted Ashley into their family.

"She'll definitely get the punishment she deserves." Henry's words sounded like a promise.

Zachary didn't speak and merely hung his head as he continued downing his beer.
