Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 191

Chapter191

After leaving the sales office, Josephine put away the documents for the new home and met up with Clara to visit a kindergarten for Natalia.

That evening, back at Opal Heights, she told Zachery about the kindergarten.

She scrolled through photos on her phone, showing them to Zachery, enthusiastically describing:

“This is the biggest school in Vexford, covering over sixty thousand square meters. From kindergarten to high school, it helps children plan every stage of their growth.”

“Look, right at the entrance you can see these big words: ‘Cultivating leaders in every field.”

“Here’s what I think: Natalia doesn’t need to be good at everything, as long as she knows what she likes.”

“Look, this is the fencing room, this is the swimming pool, the golf hall, there’s even a makeup room for girls, and even Pilates…”

“!

As Josephine was talking, she looked up and saw Zachery standing with his hands behind his back, the corners of his eyes gently curved as he looked at her.

His lower eyelids were slightly puffed, forming a natural smile arc, and there was a faint smile at the corners of his lips.

Josephine’s heart skipped a beat.

Her first reaction was to break eye contact.

She put away her phone and pretended to calmly move a little farther from Zachery.

But she noticed that whenever she moved, Zachery’s eyes would follow her.

She moved again, and Zachery’s gaze followed once more.

Just like a sunflower tracking the sun.

Josephine couldn’t help but ask, “Dr. Maynard, is there something dirty on my face?”

Zachery shook his head with a smile.

“Then why… are you staring at me?”

Zachery said, “You seem different from before… Now, you’re very… vibrant. Yes, vibrant.”

Zachery used that word.

He explained, “You’re not dependent, not afraid, not cold, not dull. You’re like a beautiful landscape, vibrantly alive.”

Josephine looked at Zachery in surprise, suddenly at a loss for words.

Thinking back over the past two months, she’d been cursed at least a million times.

She was used to being scolded, but when someone praised her so directly, she didn’t know how to

react…

Josephine tried her best to stay calm, but her face was definitely red–she could feel the heat.

Time slipped by, second by second.

Seven days passed, and Helena was ‘released after serving her sentence.‘

Wilfred had someone bring her back to Rose Manor.

She had lost a lot of weight, her bones clearly visible, and her clothes hung loosely on her body.

A flash of pain crossed Wilfred’s eyes.

Helena bit her lower lip, looking at Wilfred, tears streaming down before she could even speak.

She reached out to hug Wilfred, but Zoey came out, pushing Belinda.

Belinda had guessed that Auntie Helena was about to give her father a ‘foreign–style hug,‘ so she specifically asked Zoey to push her out to stop it.

“Auntie Helena,” Belinda called out quickly and anxiously.

Helena was startled, and immediately withdrew her outstretched hand.

Belinda still remembered what her classmates said: except for Mom, Dad couldn’t hug anyone else…

“Sweetheart, is your foot any better? I missed you so much.” Helena squatted down to hug Belinda

Zoey pulled the wheelchair back.

Helena missed and fell to the ground.

“Ms. Pollard’s knees must be weak from kneeling, right? Good thing I pulled Belinda away, or she would have fallen right on top of her.

Zoey’s words were laced with sarcasm.

She really didn’t want to work here anymore. She had already mentioned resigning to Wilfred, but he wouldn’t approve it.

So she no longer felt the need to tolerate Helena, that fake white lotus. After all, the money she’d saved over the years was enough for her retirement.

“You… what kind of attitude is that?”
