Chapter 24
Henry’s whole body felt numb and stiff. He wanted to rush up, tear up the divorce certificate, and take Josie home so that she would be locked up. He wanted her to only have him in her eyes, smiled only at him, and cared only for him.
However, it seemed that he was too late.
I finally got divorced,” Josie thought.
Josie walked out of the City Hall and looked at the divorce certificate in her hand before smiling.
She was finally free.
The tip of her nose suddenly felt a little warm. Josie stopped walking and instinctively raised her hand to touch it.
She was startled by the red blood on her fingers. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
She tilted her head upward to stop the nosebleed. This always happened, and Josie seemed to have gotten used to it after a long while. She took out a tissue and wiped the blood off in a practiced manner.
The blood seemed to have gotten inside her mouth. The rusty smell of blood was strong.
Josie wanted to cry, but she didn’t dare to. She also wanted to vomit but couldn’t.
Josie walked slowly while feeling like a homeless orphan.
She had no family.
Her parents and grandfather were gone.
No one would really care about her.
No one could save her, and no one would protect her.
At Cedar Hill Cemetery, Josie sat in front of her parents‘ tombstone. She leaned against it with a vacant look in her eyes. She didn’t say anything and just sat there.
She would sit there with a bouquet of lily of the valley until dark. She did this every year.
Josie’s mother’s
‘s name was Kathy Yates. It was a beautiful name that was also fitting for her beautiful self.
As a matter of fact, Kathy wasn’t a dancer in a seedy nightclub or anything. She was a ballet dancer and a beautiful woman who danced like she was flying.
Josie’s father, Hayden, first met Kathy in a ballet theater.
At that time, Kathy was as beautiful, noble, and pure as a white swan. She made people feel that the thought of touching her was sacrilegious.
However, Hayden also saw a different side of Kathy at Morose Entertainment Club the very same night.
Josie’s grandmother had congenital heart disease. Kathy had to go to school and work part–time to earn her tuition and pay
for the treatment
She was a noble white swan in the daytime, but she seemed to become a gorgeous black swan at night. People would go crazy watching her dance on the stage.
Hayden was attracted to Kathy and probably fell in love with her at first sight.
Wed, 8
A rich young master and a poor dancer were people from two different worlds.
She could be his mistress, but she could never be his wife.
However, Hayden fell deeply in love with Kathy after keeping her as his mistress for a while.
He even gave up his right to inherit Gibson Corporation for Kathy, and resolutely break his relationship with the Gibson family. They then eloped to start a new life.
Hayden and Kathy gave Josie all their love.
Josie once thought that she had the most handsome father and the most beautiful mother in the world.
She was the happiest little princess in the world.
However, that accident happened, and her parents were gone. She had to accept the reality even if she didn’t want to.
She was now an orphan….
No one would love her and care for her.
The person Josie envied the most was not Ashley, but Kathy.
She longed for a man like her father to appear in her life.
She thought Henry was that man. She hoped he would be her savior.
It turned out that the man was not a savior, but had come for her life.
“Mom, did you use up all your luck? Is that why… I’m suffering right now?” Josie murmured in a low voice. Warm tears filled her eyes.
She dazedly drifted off to sleep. Her thought was a blur. Josie thought that she would probably sleep there that night.
Only with her parents could she be a little princess who had a family.
Jo
“Josie?”
Josie fell asleep with an unclear mind, and her body’s temperature was scarily high after being in that state for a long while.
She still had an injury on her forehead and was now slipping into a coma.
“Henry…
Her sight was a little blurred.
Josie thought it was Henry.
However, she deemed this impossible. It was just a hallucination.
“You really are stupid. Henry is busy on a date with his mistress. There’s no way he will care about your well–being?” The person’s voice was full of anger, and the sharp words cleared Josie’s mind instantly.
“Samuel… Why are you here?” Josie had no strength to push Samuel away, so she could only resign herself to be carried in his arm mercilessly.
“Are you disappointed?”
Josie didn’t say anything and just stared at her parents‘ tombstone.
weu, o may
There was a bunch of lilies next to her bouquet of lily of the valley.
Every year, someone would place a bouquet of lilies in front of the tombstone. She thought it was Charles. It turned out that it wasn’t him.
It was Samuel.
Josie was actually surprised that Samuel remembered her parents‘ death anniversary. If she was not mistaken, she had only told him about it once.
She didn’t expect him to remember it for so many years.
This man might not be as bad as she had thought.
“Divorced?” Samuel asked.
Josie nodded.
TO
Thope you can cure your faulty taste in men as soon as possible. Samuel said sarcastically.
Josie lowered her head. Perhaps her thoughts had been correct all along.
Samuel was indeed not a bad guy.
He just had a sharp tongue.
