was vacant. She forced a reason to console herself fortunately, it was the VIP ward, so
there was no one. around to witness her breakdown.
Moments later, she heard Xanthe’s voice emerging inside the ward. “Do you really not
plan to get a divorce?”
Josie slowly crumpled the diagnosis report in her hand and finally clenched it in her fist.
Soon, she met Arnold. It was a sunny day. Standing outside the hospital and watching the
bustling street, Josie was bewildered.
Then, she got into Arnold’s car.
“How are you?”
“Still surviving.” Arnold passed a packet of snacks to Josie and drew closer to examine her

Arnold pinched her chin and giggled. “Are you worried about me?”
“Arnold.”
“I’m fine. Alive and kicking, and there’s no addiction developed.” Seeing Josie wasn’t
eating, he opened the packet and sent a piece of snack to her mouth. “I was drugged in a
cafe. I’ve instructed my men to find leads. Also, I managed to trace the IP address of the
person who released the pictures, but the location was overseas. It’ll take some time to
locate them.”
Josie had no appetite. Looking at her reflection in the car window, she could barely
recognize herself in this miserable state.
“Poor girl.” Feeling sorry for her, Arnold hit her forehead with the back of his hand and
pinched her soft earlobe to comfort her.

With that, Josie was about to get out of the car but was called upon by Arnold. “I risked my
life for you in Rivodia. Isn’t that worth repaying?”
Josie was stunned. She had said that as long as Arnold asked, she would do anything for

Arnold, can I boldly assume you’re in cahoots with them?”
Josie stared fixedly into Arnold’s eyes when she asked the question, while Arnold did not.
avoid her gaze.
Arching his brows, he took out a pile of medical certificates and medicines. “You think I put
my life on the line just to mess with you? You think too highly of yourself. Dexter would
have caught me if he wanted to. I didn’t have to take such a huge risk.” Arnold said
genuinely with a rueful smile, which made Josie struggle to finish her questions. She had
