Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174

After grabbing the first aid kit, she walked over to Zachery.

Zachery had already made space for her on the sofa, just waiting for her to sit down.

But Josephine said slowly, “Opal Heights has a clinic. If you don’t use their medicine, you can get free home treatment.”

Zachery’s pale, thin lips slowly pressed together.

If that happened, it would really let down Dr. Castro and Henry’s good intentions…

When Josephine called the clinic, Zachery stood up and took her phone with one hand.

Josephine looked up and saw Zachery’s thick eyelashes droop as he spoke softly:

“All the clinic staff are women. I don’t want… them to see my body.”

Josephine stared in shock.

But you’re a doctor, Dr. Maynard. How can you see gender differences?

Still, in this vast world, some people are just more conscious of gender. She didn’t understand, but she respected it.

Josephine said, “Then should I call the property manager?”

“You do it.” Zachery picked up the first aid kit with his left hand and handed it to Josephine.

Josephine reminded him, “Dr. Maynard, I’m a woman too…”

“You’re different from them… We’ve been through a lot together. You’re the most suitable.”

On that point, Josephine had no argument.

She had been carried away and rescued by Zachery twice, spent the night in his bedroom after getting drunk, and even had him help with her cheongsam zipper…

She didn’t really feel awkward about it.

After all, everything happens for a reason, and can be forgiven.

It’s not like we’re still living in the era of ‘You saw my feet, my chastity is ruined.‘

The rule that men and women should keep their distance also needs to be considered case by

case.

The two of them–one divorced, the other widowed.

Let alone just applying some medicine–even if they ended up in bed… no one could say anything about it.

Zachery’s eyes, as dark as ink, shimmered with a pleading light.

Josephine felt a sudden, inexplicable pang of sympathy. She took the medical kit and said, “Sit down.”

Zachery curled his lips and gave a faint, bitter smile.

Following Zachery’s instructions, Josephine arranged the medicines one by one. When she looked she saw that Zachery had taken off his shirt.

up,

She knew she was a woman.

At a time like this, she was supposed to show a little of the flustered embarrassment a modest woman should have.

Like not knowing where to look with her eyes?

Like blushing and saying, Why are you taking off your clothes? Turn around, will you?

She couldn’t bring herself to do it, nor did she want to miss out on the pleasure of admiring the attractive male body before her just for the sake of pretense.

Zachery was really too reserved–always in shirts and slacks, or loose loungewear, hiding all the good stuff.

He didn’t have the kind of muscles that looked like rolls of toilet paper, but rather a thin, firm layer that looked strong and powerful.

Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, taut and powerful lines at his waist–every line exuded masculinity…

Zachery’s smiling gaze rested on Josephine.

So she liked looking at him too.

It was an honor for his body.

Josephine’s throat moved as she swallowed. In the blink of an eye, her gaze was calm. “This might hurt a little.”

Zachery replied in a gentle tone, “It’s all right, just go ahead.”

He deliberately drew out the last syllable.

Making every word sound like it carried a kind of itching pain that made one restless.

Josephine picked up a cotton swab and disinfectant, moved closer, and noticed that Zachery’s body was very warm. She could smell the heat radiating from him, and the faint scent left on his clothes.

“Josephine, be gentle.” Zachery said aloud.

Josephine looked at the cotton swab she had just dipped in the medicine. “Dr. Maynard, I haven’t even started yet.”

She hadn’t started? Then why did he already feel so restless and itchy?

When Josephine applied the medicine, she would purse her lips, leaving a small opening, and gently blow air.

Zachery felt the skin around him grow hot, and his wound felt as if it were being brushed lightly by a feather.

“The front is done. Turn around so I can do the back.”

Zachery didn’t hear her; he was pondering Henry’s words…

When it comes to romance, you can’t be too serious!

Josephine had closed herself off to love after being hurt by Wilfred. The usual ways of pursuing her really wouldn’t move her.

But he wasn’t the kind of man who would show off like a peacock…

But Josephine was his exception. He wanted to spread his feathers and try to attract her with their beauty.
