Chapter 127

"Henry, you are too dangerous. If you really love her, you should give her freedom and respect her choice. You will only hurt her if she stays with you. What's the difference between you and Spike? Look at what happened to Quinton's mother.. You should think of Jo!""

Samuel grabbed Henry's collar and said, "You can't be so selfish. I can promise you anything but not Jo. I have given once because of you. You didn't cherish her. I won't let her go!"

Henry couldn't control his emotions and live without Josic.

He just couldn't!

Henry curled up and felt numb pain in his wound.

He didn't want to do that either.

Who didn't want to be born as clean as Samuel?

Zachary always said they were the same kind of people. Yes, they were both rotten and unworthy.

They were jealous of Samuel.

her up

But there was one little difference between him with Zachary. He was jealous of Samuel, but he also felt that only Samuel deserved Josie. And he just wanted to ruin her innocence and force Josie to stay beside him.

In Henry's opinion, no one in the world was sincerely kind to Josie. Although he hurt Josie before, he would treat Josie sincerely in the future. Downstairs in the canteen, Josie was buying dinner with Cecilia and Natalie. Their assistants came and followed Josie everywhere like bodyguards.

Josie felt a sense of security and no longer felt scared when walking in the dark

Buzz.

Josie's phone rang. It was a shared phone.

"Hello?"

"Get rid of those two women and come to the phone booth of the hospital. I want to see you.

On the other side of the phone, a man's voice boomed. It was deep and indisputable. After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Josie's heart tightened. Of course, she knew who it was. It was Zachary,

"You two can go upstairs first. I want to get some air downstairs. I won't go far. It's safe here. There are hospital security guards." Josie pointed to the pavilion in the distance. Cecilia and Natalie looked at each other and felt a little worried. After all, their bosses asked them to watch Josie.

"I'm really fine. I'm in a mess. I just want to sit alone."

Natalie nodded and said calmly, "If you need anything else, please contact Mr. Turner as soon as possible.” Chapter 127

"You can contact Mr. Gibson tool Cecilia hurriedly chimed in

Natalie pushed his glasses up and didn't want to compete with Cecilia at all.

Josie merely nodded and walked to the pavilion.

Her palms were sweating. Josie didn't know why she would choose to trust Zachary.

"Is it because Zachary didn't hurt her during the kidnapping? Or perhaps it's because she wants to know the truth?" she thought.

"You're here..." The sky was dark. Zachary hid in the corner, looking miserable. He was wearing a cap, and his body was all

soaked.

He was about six feet and two inches tall.

Josie remembered that ten years ago, he was already very tall.

"We haven't been in touch for ten years. Why do you suddenly appear?" Josie spoke in a relatively calm tone, but her eyes were brimming red.

Josie leaned against the wall without looking at Zachary. The two just turned their backs on each other.

"They want to hurt you... Zachary's voice was hoarse.

"What's our relationship? Why are you helping me?"

"There is no reason... Maybe I'm just like Henry. We want to find a reason to live. Zachary smiled ironically.

He was trembling.

Josie reached out for her scarf. It was given by Samuel who worried that she might get a cold.

Josie took off the scarf and handed it to Zachary

Josie didn't say anything, nor did Zachary

After a long period of silence, Zachary took the scarf with his pale fingers

"Why did you want to kill Henry?" Josie could see Zachary's hostility toward Henry.

"No reason. I just hate him." Zachary didn't say anything more.

"Oh..." Josie didn't probe further.

"Do you believe me?" Zachary turned around nervously and looked at Josie..

"Josie should believe him, shouldn't she? Otherwise, the police would be here," he thought to himself.

"If I don't believe you, I won't be here."

"Ashley is a liar." Zachary's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse.

"My dad didn't take advantage of her. He was wronged. Ashley refused to testify in court and deliberately lied to show sympathy just to get rid of us. The wrongest thing my father did in his life was to adopt that devil..."

Zachary was trembling all over. One of his hands held onto the wall for support. He looked frail in his tall body. "Josie, my father can't stand the grievances. He took his own life and died in prison. No one believed his words, and no one believed

Chapter 127

my words. I cried desperately and tried to find evidence. Yet, no one believed in us. They only believed in Ashley. Ashley was already a devil in her teenage years. They thought children wouldn't lie. They thought it was a sin for my father to adopt such a beautiful girl! No one believed us!"

That time. Zachary even knelt down and begged the judge to believe him.

But he was several years older than Ashley, so no one believed him.

All because Ashley was a little girl.

Josie clenched her fingers hard, and her eyes were red and swollen.

"What am I pitying about? Am I feeling sympathy for Zachary? Or perhaps I am pitying himself..." she thought.

Likewise, she lost her parents in her teens. She suddenly empathized with Zachary,

They were all people who had been through hardships.

"Ashley is very good at disguising and winning people's hearts. She is terrible. It is too easy for her to destroy anyone. Josie, your marriage with Henry was deliberately destroyed by her. She would destroy the trust between you, slowly sabotage your relationship, and create an indelible gap between you guys. This is her usual doing."

Zachary's voice was trembling all the time. He must have hated Ashley to the gut.

"At first, I believed Ashley's words like a fool, and I didn't believe my dad. I thought dad did something bad. I protected Ashley and hurt my dad...

Zachary looked at his hands. It was his nightmare, something he could never forgive himself in his life.

"My father was not killed by Ashley but by my distrust of him."

"My father was sentenced to death, and Ashley's goal was achieved. She relaxed her vigilance. I became suspicious when she talked to the person in charge of the orphanage about the conditions for the second family to adopt her. Later, I took Ashley's diary, which she planned to burn. She wrote everything in her diary. She was truly a devil. Seeing that I knew the truth, she began to slander me again. She ran to the police station and said that I was involved in the fight. She claimed that I was a gangster and that I had many criminal records. I tried to refute it but the police wouldn't believe me. She said that I imprisoned her and beat her like my father..."

In order to be adopted by a new and wealthy family, Ashley fabricated lies one after another until she pushed Zachary into the endless abyss.

Josie, I'm not lying... Zachary had said this countless times, and every time it was with despair and plea.

Josie seemed to hear the undertone. Zachary must have begged countless people and said this to countless people, but no one ever believed him.

"I trust you, she blurted out.

There weren't any rhetorical flourishes. Josie merely expressed herself with simple words. She believed Zachary.

"Why..." Zachary looked at Josie in shock. It was the first time they had communicated. The last time they met was ten years ago.

He was one of the kidnappers' men.

He actually didn't hold any hope that Josie believe him.

"No reason. My intuition tells me that you can be trusted. Josie imitated Zachary's way of speaking. She then turned around

and smiled at him. "Are you in trouble? I'll explain to the police.
