Her Marriage: The Night is Still Young-Chapter 64: I’ll Bring the Divorce Papers Tomorrow
"Huh? Are we going to the police station?" Ruby asked again, confused, while driving.
"Yes." Josephine Thompson nodded firmly.
She decided she wouldn’t endure it any longer!
Since he had no regard for their marriage, she had no reason to show any mercy.
She was going to report it!
To accuse Nathaniel Gallagher of attempted murder and secretly implanting his and another woman’s embryo into her womb without her knowledge.
This caused her significant physical and mental harm.
She would spare no effort to put him in prison.
Ruby drove straight toward the police station.
Twenty minutes later.
They arrived at the entrance of the police station.
"President Thompson, we’re at the police station."
"Okay." Josephine Thompson pushed open the car door, ready to get out.
"Buzzz..."
The phone in her bag started vibrating.
Instinctively, she pulled out the phone and glanced at it; it was Auntie Lena calling.
Josephine’s heart skipped a beat as she hurriedly answered, "Hello~"
After the call connected.
Auntie Lena’s panicked voice came from the other end, "Hello, Miss, thank heaven, I’ve finally reached you!"
"Auntie Lena, what’s happened?"
Auntie Lena’s tone was frantic, "Miss, you have to come to the hospital! Grandpa had a heart attack and is currently being resuscitated. The doctors have already issued five critical condition notices."
"I couldn’t find anyone to sign, so I had to get President Gallagher..."
Boom!
Josephine’s brain exploded upon hearing this, her whole body felt like it was plunged into an ice cave.
"What did you say? Say it again?"
Auntie Lena began to cry and said anxiously, "Miss, we couldn’t reach you all last night. Grandpa was worried something happened to you and sent people to search for you. When he learned you were in trouble, he had a heart attack on the spot."
"I rushed him to the hospital, and the doctors said he had a sudden heart attack that led to a stroke."
"They needed a family member to sign the critical condition notice, but without finding you, I had to turn to President Gallagher."
"...Where is Nathaniel Gallagher now?"
"President Gallagher is also at the hospital, Miss, please come to the hospital quickly."
Josephine felt a chill in her chest, nearly unable to stand, "Alright, I understand."
After hanging up the phone.
"Ruby, take me to Audenburg University Hospital immediately."
"Okay."
Josephine hurried back into the car, her heart in turmoil, wishing she could fly to the hospital immediately.
"Grandfather is in Nathaniel Gallagher’s hands. Will he instruct someone to harm Grandpa?"
"Nathaniel Gallagher, you are truly cruel..."
Since he dared to tamper with her car,
he would certainly be cruel to Grandpa as well.
She didn’t dare to think of the consequences.
Now that Grandpa was in Nathaniel Gallagher’s hands, she dared not act rashly.
Soon after.
She used the mini pinhole device she had in the car, then sent an SOS message to Jamila Jacobs.
If something happened to her and Grandpa,
Jamila would immediately hand over the evidence to the police.
...
Half an hour later.
Audenburg University Hospital.
Josephine, frantic and confused, rushed to the door of the operating room, "How is my Grandpa?"
"Still being resuscitated."
"Grandpa..." Josephine’s nose tingled as she quickened her pace.
When she reached the door of the operating room.
From a distance, she saw a tall figure quietly sitting on a bench at the operating room entrance.
Nathaniel Gallagher, dressed in a black trench coat, looked haggard and gloomy, his stubble had grown out.
Auntie Lena, who was anxiously pacing, saw Josephine arrive and quickly approached, "Miss, you’ve finally come."
Josephine quickly moved forward, "How long has Grandpa been in there?"
"Several hours already."
Nathaniel instinctively stood up, looking at her with complicated, broken eyes, "Josephine!"
Without thinking, he walked over to her, arms outstretched intending to embrace her.
"Smack--" A crisp slap.
Josephine harshly slapped him across the face, quickly stepping back several steps, "Nathaniel Gallagher, you are truly malicious!"
"..." Nathaniel’s throat moved dryly, his pupils reddening further.
"Hurting me isn’t enough; now you’re trying to harm my Grandpa as well?"
Hearing this, Nathaniel felt like a knife had plunged into his heart.
He pressed his cracked lips together, wanting to explain, but he held back.
In that moment.
No matter how he explained, she wouldn’t believe him.
Moreover, if someone had to take the blame for this, he would rather shoulder it himself!
He preferred going to jail himself, rather than implicate Eleanor Churchill.
Josephine’s eyes reddened with grief and sorrow, "You have nothing else to say, do you?"
"I never imagined you would want me dead?"
"Nathaniel Gallagher, what did I do wrong to make you treat me so cruelly?"
"..." Nathaniel Gallagher’s eyes flickered, remaining silent.
He merely looked at her with reddened eyes.
"Speak up, why are you treating me like this?"
"Even at this point, I never thought of hurting you. I even helped you and your ex-girlfriend."
"But I never imagined that the husband I’ve shared a bed with for four years would want to see me dead. I’ve already told you I made a will long ago. If I die, all the Thornton Family’s assets will be donated to the country without compensation. You won’t get a penny."
"I also won’t have any impact on or harm towards you, so why won’t you let me go?"
Nathaniel Gallagher remained silent, the redness in his eyes turning to numbness.
"Speak up, why are you doing this?"
"... Because I’m utterly heartless, obsessively insane, worse than a beast."
Josephine Thompson listened and couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.
He was certainly honest enough.
Yet everything she asked was unnecessary; he would never tell her the truth.
"Alright, in that case, I have no choice but to use the law as a weapon and accuse you of murder."
Nathaniel Gallagher listened, still looking broken, "... Alright, call the police then, I’ll confess."
"..." Josephine Thompson listened, looking even more incredulous at him.
Now, she truly couldn’t understand him at all!
"Since you said that, I’ll call the police!" Josephine Thompson said, immediately pulling out her phone to dial.
Nathaniel Gallagher paused for a few seconds and then instinctively grabbed her wrist, "Josephine, let’s not call the police!"
"Now you’re scared?"
Nathaniel Gallagher chuckled bitterly, unable to resist brushing a stray hair from her cheek, "Yes, I’m scared, please spare me!"
He wasn’t afraid of prison!
But he knew that once he was behind bars.
No one would be able to stop Eleanor Churchill.
She and her grandfather would meet a tragic end.
Josephine Thompson listened, her heart aching even more with disgust.
The husband she loved for four years turned out to be such a despicable, shameless coward!
"Nathaniel Gallagher, I really misjudged you. I never thought you were this kind of person. You make me feel utterly sick."
"Let go, don’t touch me, I find you filthy and disgusting to the core."
Nathaniel Gallagher felt a stab of pain in his heart, and tears he’d managed to hide flooded back.
He staggered forward a step, his voice choking and hoarse, "Josephine, meeting me is your past life’s retribution!"
"As long as you don’t call the police, I will gladly divorce you and never disturb your life in future."
"..." Josephine Thompson’s throat caught, looking at him with disdain and sorrow.
The man who used to be tall and bright in her heart had collapsed.
He truly wasn’t worth her love.
Even having loved him was a disgrace.
"Me going to prison won’t benefit you or your grandfather in the slightest."
"You’re smart, you should know what the consequences would be!"
Josephine Thompson scoffed coldly, "Are you threatening me?"
"If you say so."
Josephine Thompson gripped her phone tightly, her fingernails nearly digging into her palm.
"If you agree to settle it quietly, tomorrow I will find a lawyer to sign a divorce agreement and give you your freedom. Aren’t you longing for your ex-boyfriend too? After we divorce, you can reunite with him."
Josephine Thompson listened and felt even worse, "Nathaniel Gallagher, you..."
In the midst of the dispute.
The red light of the operating room suddenly went off.
The doctor walked out of the operating room, exhausted as he took off his mask.
"Doctor, how is my grandfather?"
The doctor appeared drained and weary, "After several hours of surgery, it’s relatively successful. For now, the condition is stable, but the old man is still in a critical period and needs family for 24-hour care."
Josephine Thompson asked anxiously, "So my grandfather won’t be in life-threatening danger anymore, right?"
"This needs further observation, but it’s best to be prepared mentally. The patient had brainstem bleeding and is likely to be bedridden if he wakes up."
Auntie Lena’s legs weakened, nearly collapsing to the ground.
Josephine Thompson also staggered, "Doctor, I beg you, please save my grandfather, ensure my grandfather’s life."
"Don’t worry, we will do our best."
"Now the patient needs to be observed in the intensive care unit."
The doctor briefly explained the old man’s situation, too exhausted to speak further, and hurried back to the office to rest.
"Grandpa, you must get better."
"Don’t worry, Grandpa will definitely be alright." Nathaniel Gallagher comforted her by wrapping an arm around her shoulder.
"Let go, don’t touch me."
"Josephine, I’ll print the divorce papers tomorrow, let’s part amicably."
"You’ve seen through me, I won’t lay hands on you again."
After listening, Josephine Thompson felt as though her heart had died, "... Are you sure you’ll sign the divorce agreement with me tomorrow?"
Nathaniel Gallagher’s face was shattered, but he said firmly, "I’m sure, if I delay, then call the police, OK?"
"Alright, as long as you sign the divorce agreement straightforwardly, I can spare you."
Nathaniel Gallagher chuckled sadly, looking at her deeply and complexly, "Good, thank you for being so magnanimous."
Josephine Thompson wore a stern expression, "There’s nothing left for you here, you can leave now. I also warn you, don’t lay a finger on my grandfather again. I’ve handed your crime evidence to a friend, if anything happens to me or Grandpa, you’ll spend the rest of your life in prison."
"Alright, take good care of Grandpa, I’ll leave now. Tomorrow, I’ll bring the divorce agreement."
"You better stick to your word and not go back on it."
"Rest assured, I definitely won’t go back on it this time."
"Then that’s it."
After Josephine Thompson finished speaking, she didn’t want to look at him anymore and turned to walk in the opposite direction.
