Chapter 147
But they didn’t have those either.
As she was leaving disappointed, a male clerk called out to her, “…Please wait for me ten minutes.”
Without waiting for her response, the male clerk ran out.
He ran so fast that all she saw was his back.
His black jacket was lifted by the wind, blending into the hazy moonlight.
But she still didn’t wait.
Wilfred had to rush back to deal with an emergency at the company, so after checking out, they left.
Josephine belatedly realized, “You were that male clerk?”
Zachery nodded with a smile.
The two of them spoke quietly to each other, completely unaffected by the others haggling over compensation.
“SlowHour Farm belongs to my adoptive parents. I remember what you were wearing that day–white on top, black on the bottom, a ten–pointed star necklace, and no earrings.”
Josephine was shocked. “So when you said at the police station that you’d seen me before, it was true.”
“It’s been two years already. Dr. Maynard, your memory is really impressive–photographic!”
Zachery glanced at her again, saying meaningfully:
“Depends on the person.”
Josephine: “Hm?”
Zachery said in a joking tone:

“I bought the candy and came back, but couldn’t find you anywhere. My first attempt at thoughtful service was let down, so I’ve been holding a grudge‘ ever since.”
“Sorry, I had an emergency at the time.” Josephine gave a faint smile.
She suddenly recalled that when she first met Zachery at Marisbury Cemetery, he had looked at her in surprise.
He said, “It’s you?”
At the time, she just found it odd and didn’t think much of it.
Now the mystery was solved–it turned out ‘holding a grudge‘ was how he recognized her.
The two of them laughed as if no one else was around.
Natalia didn’t know what her parents were laughing about, but she joined in anyway.
The others: “.
“!
Don’t these two want compensation?!
Seeing the two exchanging glances, Wilfred felt an inexplicable heaviness in his heart.
He tightened his arm around Helena’s shoulders a little more…
Because of Natalia’s accident, Josephine, Zachery, and Natalia had to postpone their outing to next Saturday.
This Saturday was Valentine’s Day.
The night before, every group in the hospital received a notice.
“No roses are allowed anywhere in the hospital, not even garden roses.

Patricia knew it was Valentine’s Day and planned to stay home with Josephine all day, not going out.
When she learned Josephine was going to the hospital to be with Natalia, she said she would go too.
Patricia’s immune system was weak, and since Natalia had developed pneumonia from a fever caused by gastroenteritis, Josephine was worried Patricia might catch it and didn’t agree to

Before leaving, Josephine mentally prepared herself.
She told herself that no matter how many flowers she saw, she had to stay calm, calm, and calm again.
Unexpectedly, heaven took pity on her.
From the moment she left home and got into a taxi to when she arrived at the emergency ward, she didn’t see a single rose.

After the compensation issue was settled yesterday, all the children were moved into single
rooms.
Belinda’s room was the first one. Natalia’s was at the end.

Josephine paused as she passed by Belinda’s room.
She wanted to go in and check on Belinda’s spirits.
Because it was a suite, she first saw a man and a woman on the living room sofa, applying medicine.
Helena was sitting sideways, facing out.
When she saw Josephine, a smile curled at the corner of her lips.
She said coquettishly, “Fred, will my face be scarred? I’m a little scared.

Because she had taken the blow for Wilfred, he was moved and his voice was especially gentle.
“There won’t be a scar. This is the most expensive medicine.”
“But… what if there is? Then I’ll be ugly.”
“Not ugly. You’ll be just as beautiful and cute.”
Wilfred’s face showed little emotion as he said this, but Helena’s smile grew even brighter.
Josephine had already walked past, but Helena’s smile made her uncomfortable, so she turned back.
“Lena…”

Hearing Josephine’s voice, Wilfred paused in applying the medicine and looked over at her.
Josephine’s eyes lifted slightly, her voice tinged with mockery.
“I heard from your brother that you were… ruined by a man? Is that true? How come I didn’t hear about you calling the police? You should trust the police, trust the law, trust in justice.”
A trace of coldness flashed in Wilfred’s eyes.
Helena was so stung she wanted to kill Josephine.
But she was even more afraid Wilfred would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained:
“Fred, really, nothing happened. I’m innocent, you have to believe me…”
Josephine gave a mischievous smile, finally feeling much better inside…
