Chapter 10 Dalton Castro caught his drift and nodded meaningfully , drawling , " Oh ... Sure . " As Josephine sat down in the ER , she tucked her shoulder - length curls behind her ear , revealing her delicate earlobe . Smiling had never been her custom , least of all today . The frigid atmosphere in the room accentuated her distant , detached temperament . Yet Zachery was chatty . He struck up a conversation , chatted with her casually , as if they had been old friends , and even asked her if her injuries had something to do with her husband . Not comfortable sharing her private life with people she barely knew , she changed the subject . " Dr. Maynard , my mother - in - law has been suffering from unstable blood pressure for years . She got agitated , which triggered a cerebral hemorrhage . It'll be greatly appreciated if you could do best to treat her . It's best if there are no aftereffects . It's very important to me . your Zachery paused while applying ointment to her arm . " Are you close to your mother - in - law ? " " No. It's quite the opposite . " Anyway ... I'm counting on you . " Zachery stared at her intently . Though her appearance hadn't changed much , the look in her eyes ... She wasn't as gentle as she used to be . Had she been unhappy these years ? He gripped her wrist . " Fancy a drink tonight ? " After stepping out of Hendrix's office , Wilfred called Helena , who was at home . He knew her well - she was so timid . What had happened must have terrified her . Sure enough , she was still crying while answering . " Fred , how's Yvonne doing ? Are you still bleeding ? I'm worried sick . Is Josephine still there ? I wanna go to the hospital so much , but I 05.59 288 ( Vouchers don't wanna upset her ... " However , Wilfred didn't respond . He saw Zachery and Josephine in the ER . They were so close to each other . What were they talking about ? " I've been busy these days . Next time , maybe , " Josephine said , though she indeed fancied a drink . These days had been tormenting . Zachery shrugged , seeming disappointed . Then he looked at her , gently reminding her , " Use cling film to wrap your arm before taking a shower . And don't pop the blisters . Or there'll be scars . " She nodded . As she stood up , her hair brushed against his chin . The scent of her hair wafted to her , mingling with the warm , sun - infused aroma of his clothes . Her heart skipped a beat as she realized they were too close to each other . She instinctively moved slightly aside . Out of the corner of her eye , she noticed his fists clenching and unclenching by his sides . Maybe he was a bit flustered , too . Her heartbeat raced as he added , " Oh , and don't rub or press the wound . Get proper rest , and make sure you have a balanced diet , and load up on proteins and vitamins . " She frowned . Noticing this , Zachery stopped talking at once . Did she find him nagging ? Was he ? But there was so much more he wanted to say ... She smiled , " Dr. Maynard , do you usually spend so much time instructing your patients ? If so , they're probably all gonna end up in the morgue . " He answered truthfully , " I just wanna spend more time with you . " " Maybe next time , Dr. Maynard . I'm off . See you ... " Someone grabbed Josephine's right wrist before she could finish speaking . Wilfred forcibly dragged her out while glancing at Zachery , his gaze razor - sharp . 06:58 Chapter 10 288 ( Vouchers Failing to break free , she turned her head around and said to Zachery , " Bye , Dr. Maynard " Once out of the ER , she shook Wilfred's hand away hard . Wilfred's expression was extremely grim . " What's Dr. Maynard doing here ? " She didn't want to talk to him at all unless it was about the divorce . She turned to leave , but he dragged her back again furiously . " Didn't you hear my question ? " " I don't wanna answer . Let go ! " Her breathing became rapid . They had attracted some onlookers ' attention , who even started taking photos and recording .
