Chapter 776 I Risked My Life for You
In the corridor outside the ward, Josie leaned weakly against the wall. Her chest was heaving. Perhaps the wall was too cold; she felt like crying when she touched it. Her gaze 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 pa*sed a packet of snacks to Josie and drew closer to examine her eyes. “You look really pale.”
Josie felt his forehead with the back of her hand. “What was that drug? Are there any side. effects?”
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.
“All the pictures on the Internet have been removed. The newspapers published were destroyed too. I’ll find the mastermind.”
“This matter is unrelated to you, so please stop meddling with it,” Josie uttered coldly. “I haven’t met you, not in the past and not in the future.”

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 him.
Josie sat back down and asked, “What do you want?”
“We’ll talk about it next time.” Arnold’s interest waned. He looked outside the window and saw Summer arriving at the hospital, wearing high heels. The latter stood still when she saw Arnold’s car.
Arnold remarked mysteriously, “Dexter’s men are searching for me. I reckon they are suspicious of something.”
Josie was startled. “The culprit deliberately pixelated your appearance. He clearly didn’t want. to expose your identity. Things will get out of hand if your identity is exposed. Arnold, can I boldly a*sume 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 no reason to continue probing, nor should she.
She nodded and put on her mask before getting out of the car and walking past the surprised.
Summer.
