Chapter 15
Josie left the hospital and returned to her rented place,
Josie asked Madelyn to help her find a house not far from her workplace. The bus and subway were convenient, and the rerit was not high
It was late after Josie finished unpacking her things. After Madelyn left, the former was so tired that she did not want to
moin
Josie lay down and fell asleep after she made the bed.
Her phone kept vibrating, but she could not hear it.
The next morning, Josie woke up and found more than a dozen missed calls on her phone.
They were all from Henry.
Josie's heart tightened. She called Henry back, tapping on her phone screen with trembling fingers, but no one answered.
Josie did not know why Henry suddenly called her so many times. She thought, "Is he reminding me to go to the City Hall today!
Josie rubbed her eyebrows and got up to wash.
Buzz!
The phone rang again.
Josie answered, "Hello? What time are we meeting at the City Hall?”
"Come home! I feel horrible..." Henry's voice was hoarse on the other side of the phone. Instead of explaining anything, he merely ordered Josie to come home and told her that he felt horrible, and then he hung up the phone.
Josie was stunned for a moment and then called back. Henry did not answer the phone anymore.
She wondered, "What happened?
Josie glanced at the time and thought Henry should have arrived at the company at this time.
She got up in a hurry and went downstairs before hailing a taxi, which, for the record, was something she seldom did.
Grabbing the seatbelt nervously, she dared not sit alone in the back seat.
The driver was in shock when he saw Josie, who was trembling. That was the
first time he saw someone so afraid of riding in a car. He even began to doubt his driving skills,
Josie got out of the car with trembling legs, squatted by the roadside, and vomited.
There was nothing she could vomit, and she felt a sore pain in her throat as the stomach acid burned her esophagus.
She had always been like this. Whenever she was too scared and nervous, she would feel sick.
Then, she ran home with a pale face. When she opened the door, she was suddenly stunned.
Josie thought, "Why did I come home in such a panic?"
She and Henry did not have any felationship anymore after all.
The password lock on the door had not been changed, and Josie could still access it with her fingerprints.

She pushed the door open and entered the living room. When she caught a whiff of the strong alcoholic stench in the house, she frowned. The smell of alcohol gave her a headache.
"Hemry?"
Henry lay half-naked on the couch. He looked like a mess.
During their three years of marriage, Josie seldom saw Henry being so sloppy.
Henry's figure and appearance were more dazzling than that of celebrities. Josie used to be glad that she had married such a perfect man
Tm thirsty." Henry frowned but did not open his eyes.
Josie lowered her head and poured water for Henry, but tears fell on the back of her hand.
"Who is that man* Henry grabbed Josie's wrist.
He had been wondering who the man was all night.
Josie was stunned for a while before she realized what he was talking about.
She thought. "Will it mean anything to Henry even if he knows who the man is?"
Henry was possessive even if he did not love Josic.
Josie wondered. "Did he think I cheated on him in the marriage?"
"He's nice. He isn't the most outstanding, but he treats me well. Josie smiled
weakly.
Henry slowly opened his eyes. He had already woken up.
Holding his forehead in annoyance, he wondered if the alcohol had interfered
with his sense of logic.
"I must've been crazy to call Josie," he thought.

Therefore, Josie kept taking contraceptive pills, but she did not expect to have an
ectopic pregnancy.
However, Henry did not care. He never cared about health.
Henry's breathing quickened. He had to admit that Josie was the type of woman
he liked.
At least his body was honest.
The City Hall is open."
Josie's words instantly snapped Henry out of his trance,
"Jo, I'm hungry," he said as he sat on the couch, lighting a cigarette, seemingly
giving in.
