Chapter214
All the lights in the living room were still on.
Josephine tried to wake up the smart home system.
“Watch out, turn off the lights!”

The smart system didn’t respond at all.
It only recognized the owner’s voice.
This was Wilfred’s design.
Wilfred’s talent lay in smart systems. If she were Wilfred, she wouldn’t have focused her energy on chips.
But Novo Tech was her mortal enemy. She had no intention of kindly reminding them; if they were wiped out overnight, she would even applaud…
Josephine went around turning off the switches one by one.
But her mood was slightly unsettled.
The Hayden family was powerful. Even if Wilfred was taken away by the police, he would soon be sent home, and once again appear before the public, that scumbag would put on his sanctimonious face.
Josephine took a deep, powerless breath, her pale, oval face like a petal falling through the air.
She forced herself to perk up, walked to Zachery’s bedroom door, knocked, and said, “Dr. Maynard, I’m coming in.
Hearing no response, Josephine opened the door a crack.
She saw Zachery had changed into loungewear and was sitting against the headboard, pinching the bridge of his nose.
The clothes he had changed out of were neatly folded and placed on the bench at the foot of the
bed.
A person’s character is revealed by how they handle their liquor.

If he didn’t already have someone in his heart, this man could be considered a saint.
“Did you get your clothes by yourself?” Josephine asked as she entered

Josephine didn’t pay him any mind. She went to the bathroom, wet a towel, then sat sideways on the edge of the bed to wipe Zachery’s hands and face.
Zachery, didn’t dare to be too greedy, afraid that too much happiness would bring about disaster.
He only let Josephine wipe his hands before grabbing her wrist, his grip neither too tight nor too loose
“Let’s have a chat.”
“It’s almost eleven. Aren’t you sleepy?”
Josephine turned her face away and covered her mouth with her other hand as she yawned.
When she turned back, she saw the man’s drowsy eyes fixed on her, his hand gripping hers tightly, leaving her no room to refuse.
“Alright, I’ll chat with you. What do you want to talk about?”
Josephine pulled her wrist free from Zachery’s hand and set the damp towel on the nightstand for the time being.
Zachery began to ask, “What’s your favorite color?”
Josephine raised her eyebrows, not expecting a drunk man to ask such a question.
But she still answered, “White.”
“What snacks do you like?”
Josephine rarely ate snacks, so she said, “I don’t have a favorite.”
“What kind of music do you like?”
Josephine yawned again “Symphonies. Dr. Maynard, can’t you ask something else?“–
The more they talked about these topics, the sleepier she became.
A subtle change appeared in Zachery’s usually calm eyes.

“Today at the hospital, I performed an intracranial aneurysm surgery and gave the students a live exam. When they toasted me tonight, their hands were still trembling.”
Josephine couldn’t help but laugh and scolded, “Devil!”
Looking at Josephine’s eyes curved in a smile, Zachery asked seriously, “What did
you
do today?”
Even though he was drunk, Zachery spoke clearly, his eyes open and honest.
Josephine’s day wasn’t anything she needed to hide, and in front of Zachery, she had never thought of pretending.
So she told him, step by step, how she had schemed to get Wilfred into the police car.
Zachery asked, “Do you still love him?”
Josephine denied it. “I’m not a masochist.”
