Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173

He thought, “Zach, I can’t help you. The woman you like is just too rational…”

Dalton smiled slightly. “I just dropped him off at home. Since you two are neighbors, you can look after each other.”

Josephine breathed a sigh of relief and said cheerfully, “No problem, I’ll go up right away.”

A boy in a baseball cap was earnestly advising Zachery:

“Boss, no offense, but you’re moving way too slow… It’s been over two months since you started playing bridge, and you still haven’t won her over. Now’s your chance with this little injury–test the waters with her tonight.”

Zachery had saved a child who was almost hit by a car at the hospital. He had scrapes all over his body.

When he got back, he asked Dalton to help him with his wounds, but Dalton said this was something he should leave to someone else.

So he called Henry to bring Zachery home.

Henry tried to smear the blood from Zachery’s shoulder onto the corner of his mouth to make it look like he was coughing up blood…

Zachery knocked his hand away. “You’ll scare her.”

“Come on, boss, I’ve met that lady before. She’s braver than ten men–no way a little blood would scare her!”

“It’s called the ruse of self–injury for a reason. You have to look like you’re suffering to throw her off.”

Zachery pointed at the door. “Get out.”

Henry said, “You don’t have to tell me, I’ll roll myself out in a ball in a minute… But before I go, let me finish what I have to say.”

“You can’t be all serious when it comes to romance–women don’t like that. You know what they say, women love bad boys. You have to get close to her on purpose… act like you’re closing the distance by accident, and then when she turns her head, hey, you kiss her… If she slaps you, it means you don’t matter to her. If she doesn’t slap you and gets shy instead, it means she’s hoping for something to happen. That’s when you have to make your move–don’t keep your belt so tight…”

Footsteps sounded outside.

Just a few meters away.

Zachery knew Josephine was coming and suddenly felt a bit nervous.

Henry darted behind the door to hide.

Josephine saw the door was open and walked right in, instinctively reaching to close it.

Zachery’s heart leapt into his throat, and he urgently shouted, “Josephine!”

Josephine was genuinely startled, her heart giving a sudden jolt, her mind going blank for two seconds.

Zachery looked at her solemnly, then suddenly coughed a few times.

Josephine’s vacant eyes regained their focus.

“How are you?”

She walked up to Zachery, her gaze scanning him up and down twice.

Zachery’s shirt was stained in several places, with a bit of blood on the shoulder.

His face was pale, and there was a minor scrape on his forehead.

Because his pants were black and wrinkled but not torn, it was impossible to tell if he was injured there.

But overall, the injuries didn’t seem serious.

Josephine asked, “Why didn’t you let Dr. Castro treat your wounds before you left?”

Zachery wasn’t wearing his glasses, and the corners of his slightly double–lidded eyes lifted. “It’s just a minor injury, nothing serious…”

Behind the door, Henry’s shoulders slumped and the corners of his mouth drooped, showing an expression that said, “A hopeless case.

Zachery reflected on himself and quickly made a change.

He supported his forehead with his left hand and reached out with his right. “Oh, my head hurts… I’m dizzy, Josephine, help me.”

“Okay, sure.” Josephine quickly reached out her hand.

When Zachery grabbed Josephine’s hand, he let out a hiss.

Josephine’s palm was sweaty, which stung his wound.

But he couldn’t bear to let go, not even a little.

The wound hurt, but his heart felt sweet…
