Belinda felt a bit guilty toward Helena.

She was enjoying Helena’s care, but her heart was thinking of another woman…

Helena’s phone vibrated mechanically, drawing everyone’s attention.

Gideon, who had been standing behind Wilfred, glanced at the phone screen and saw the last four digits were 6745.

It was a call from Elara.

Wilfred noticed that the moment Helena picked up her phone, her face visibly turned pale.

With the experience from previous times, Helena was much calmer this time.

But if she kept ignoring Elara’s calls, Elara would go to Rose Manor to find her.

After hanging up, Helena looked at Wilfred and said:

“Another scam call. I really shouldn’t read novels on web browsers anymore… Fred, I’m going to the restroom.”

Wilfred narrowed his eyes.

The way Helena gripped her phone as if it were a bomb made people suspicious.

It seemed as if she was hiding some secret.

He tilted his head slightly and said to Gideon behind him, “Follow her!”

Gideon tailed Helena to the restroom.

He couldn’t enter the women’s restroom, so he pretended to wait outside, playing with his phone.

Helena’s voice rose and fell; he vaguely heard her say two shocked sentences:

“You’re getting married?”

“Look in the mirror–why would a handsome, wealthy man want to marry you?!”

When a patient’s family entered the restroom, Gideon put away his phone and went back to report

to Wilfred

His heart had long since drifted away from Wilfred,

So he concealed the truth from Wilfred and said:

“Ms. Pollard went into the ladies‘ room. I waited outside for a while, didn’t notice anything unusual, and didn’t hear her talking on the phone.”

Wilfred was lost in thought. Was he just being paranoid?

Josephine didn’t drive today, so she went home through the main entrance.

Finn had given her two boxes of hairy crabs.

Since she was hopeless in the kitchen, she wanted to give them to Zachery to cook.

The elevator went straight up to the fifth floor.

After stepping out of the elevator and walking a bit, she saw that Zachery’s door was left open.

He was standing in front of the floor–to–ceiling window, lost in thought, gazing into the distance.

A gentle breeze fluttered the sheer curtains, brushing against the sharp lines of his jaw and the perfect contours of his shirted shoulders.

He was completely unaware.

Josephine set the crabs down on the carpet and tiptoed up behind him, planning to give him a

scare.

But she didn’t know that the cool, rich scent she carried had already been drawn deep into Zachery’s lungs by the air conditioning.

It entered through his nose, stirring something in his heart.

Suddenly, Zachery turned around. Josephine, caught off guard, was the one who ended up startled.

She let out a cry and stepped back.

Zachery grabbed her wrist, and with a forceful pull, pinned her against the floor–to–ceiling

window.

Josephine hadn’t come to fight with Zachery, so she didn’t resist.

Outside the window, a magnificent tapestry of city lights stretched out before them.

Zachery pressed his lips together and lowered his head to ask, “What are you trying to do?”

At this distance, Josephine was completely enveloped by Zachery’s presence.

It she just lifted her head, her lips would touch Zachery’s chin.

So she stayed still, fluttered her lashes a few times, and pretended to be calm as she said:

“I just… wanted to play a joke, but now, thanks to you, it’s not funny at all.”

“Ms. Copeland, are you trying to turn the tables on me?”

The amusement in Zachery’s eyes deepened.

“That’s just how it is.”

Josephine gave a faint smile, and in Zachery’s eyes, it stirred his emotions.

He didn’t argue, tacitly admitting his guilt, and asked Josephine, “Do you want me to make it up to you?”

The man’s voice was low and husky, with a hint of roughness.

To Josephine’s ears, it sounded a little seductive.

They were both adults; some feelings didn’t need to be spelled out to know what the other meant.

But she happened to be a bit slow when it came to this sort of thing.

She lifted her gaze, feeling his breath quicken and grow hot, and curled her lips as she said:

“Why do I feel like Dr. Maynard is restraining me, not to make amends, but to punish me?!”

Zachery’s breathing grew more rapid, and his grip on Josephine’s arm began to weaken.

In fact, Josephine hadn’t resisted or struggled at all; it was Zachery himself who was too nervous, focusing all his strength on her arm and using it in the wrong place,

At first, he had only wanted to play around with Josephine.

Who would have thought Josephine would be in the mood to play along with him, her every frown and smile so enchanting it was intoxicating.
