Chapter 395 Sheâs Married Paul shook his head hard and held her hand tightly. âOf course I do. How can I forget you, my darling girl.â
Josie leaped into his arms and expressed how upset she had felt for the past four years. âYouâre the worst. You made me endure these four years alone. Do you know how it has been for me?!â
With her father around, she could complain and throw a tantrum freely. It was as though she found someone to rely on again.
Josie had never felt as happy as she did now.
Paul listened to her and nodded repeatedly. He kept repeating. âI know. Itâs been tough for you, Jo. Itâs my faultâ¦
Matthew left the hospital room. He shut the door and gave the father and daughter alone time out of consideration.
Josie cried for a long time. She rose when she was done. âTake care of yourself. You donât have to care about anything else, okay? Just stay by my side from now on.â
Paul nodded. He reached out to wipe the tears on Josieâs face and said sincerely, âWhile I was unconscious for the past four years, she and Justin didnât make things difficult for you, did she?â
It went without saying who âsheâ was, Josie was quiet for a moment before she shook her head. âDonât worry. Iâve been able to stand on my own. I stopped interacting with them.â
Paul was intelligent, and he quickly understood what she meant. He didnât criticize her. Instead, he said worriedly, âFrom what Matthew said, youâre already working as the head of a design department. Jo, Iâm thrilled you succeeded in the field you like. But itâs too exhausting to live aloneâ¦â
Josie understood what he meant. She pursed her lips and thought he would find out sooner or later, so she told him. âPop, Iâm married.â
Paul froze and looked at her in disbelief. His eyes were dark, and he almost couldnât catch his breath.
Josie immediately held onto him and quickly added, âHe⦠he treats me well. I wouldnât have known how to care for you without him.â
Paul recovered slightly when he heard it. âI thought I was out briefly, but years have passed. My darling girl is married in the blink of an eye.â
Josie concealed her sadness and frustration.
âNo wonder I always heard an unfamiliar manâs voice talking to me while I was unconscious.â
She smiled bitterly and said, âThatâs right. Donât worry. Iâm doing well.â
But Paul didnât believe her. âWhy did you come alone in the middle of the night? Whereâs he?â
âHe⦠heâs on a business trip and hasnât been in Wavery recently. Iâll ask him to come and visit you once heâs back.â She couldnât help but lie at this point.
Paul was skeptical. He pulled her to sit down. âHow is he like?â
