Chapter157
Zachery repeated her words, feeling a pang in his heart
“Why not wait for the rain to stop?”
Josephine said seriously, “I never wait for the rain to stop. People who run in the rain will reach the finish line before those who wait for it to end.”
Zachery quietly watched Josephine and said nothing more.
No umbrella, not waiting for the rain to stop, just wanting to hold up her own sky.
Why be so independent? He was right there by her side.
She could have just turned around and said, Zachery, it’s raining outside.
He would never let a single drop of rain fall on her.
But she insisted on walking through the rain herself, refusing the comfort of sheltering under his umbrella…
Her resilience was heartbreaking!
At the hospital entrance, taxis came and went, picking up and dropping off passengers.
Josephine got into a cab smoothly and waved to Zachery. “Go back and keep Natalia company. Goodbye.”
Zachery watched as the taxi disappeared into the curtain of rain.
Josephine refused the comfort of sheltering under someone else’s umbrella, so Wilfred’s Novo Tech would have to be dealt with in her own way.
She was extremely independent, with a strong sense of self and self–worth.
Just like with the divorce–he didn’t intervene, and Josephine still made Wilfred bow his head. So, he couldn’t force his hand and lose his composure in front of Josephine.
All he could do was be her sword, her shield, her unwavering supporter whenever Josephine

When the sky brightened again, it was Monday–the start of the workweek for parents.
The hospitalized children were left in the care of the ward nurses and their own nannies.
Ever since Josephine’s Singularity Tech was showcased in the Al class, Natalia had attracted the attention of the other children.
Plus, Natalia was kind–hearted and caring, so all the kids especially liked her.
The teachers also praised Natalia by name in every class.
Natalia had already become the most popular little star at the after–school care center. Even with pneumonia, Albert and Mia still came to play with Natalia, wearing masks. Belinda was bored in her ward, but when she heard Albert and Mia’s voices, she ran out.
Seeing them head to Natalia’s room, she followed along.
Belinda stood at the doorway, not going in.
Watching Albert and Mia fuss over Natalia, her face was full of envy and jealousy, but she still managed to look proud.
“Natalia, your little bunny outfit is so pretty. I really like it.”
Mia reached out to touch it.
The little bunny ears on it stuck out, fluffy like clouds.
Natalia smiled and said, “My mom bought it for me yesterday.”
“Your mom bought it? She looks a bit cold, not like someone who would like bunnies.”
“She’s not cold at all, she’s super cute,” Natalia defended Josephine.
“She even sings ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star‘ to me.‘
Albert and Mia stared at Natalia in disbelief.
They couldn’t imagine what it would be like for an aunt as cool as a scientist to sing

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.”
Because Natalia was hooked up to an IV, it was hard for her to reach the camera on the table.
She asked Albert to get it for her.
Albert noticed Belinda standing at the door, but he ignored her.
Belinda ignored Albert as well.
She had heard her own mom sing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star‘–expressionless, stiff in tone, and terribly off–key.
She always found it embarrassing and never told anyone, but Natalia was actually showing off about it.
Albert and Mia would definitely make fun of Natalia…
