Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78

“Can you hear me, Josephine?”

Wilfred also called out to Josephine, but he called her “honey.”

Josephine’s voice was slurred and broken:

“No… go away… Wilfred…”

“She’s calling my name,” Wilfred said, a victor’s smile curling his lips.

Zachery’s eyes dimmed, unable to hide his unwillingness.

Wilfred said, “Deep down, she still trusts me the most.‘

“1

Zachery relaxed his grip, and Wilfred reached out and took Josephine away.

As Josephine slept, she was as gentle and soft as a breeze.

Wilfred found himself reluctant to let go as he held her.

The curiosity driven by hormones had faded in the very first year of their marriage.

All he wanted was a gentle, docile, completely harmless Josephine!

Josephine slept for three hours and still hadn’t woken up.

Eugene and Helena arrived at Jovitas General Hospital.

Eugene called Wilfred out of the ward.

“Mr. Hayden, we’ve investigated everything. Joshua is the nephew of Cecilia Kendrick, the director of Vexford TV, and Cecilia Kendrick is the wife of Eliot Vaughn.”

Wilfred frowned. “Eliot Vaughn? The one from the Ministry of Ecology?”

“Yes. The chairman doesn’t want you involved in this matter. He said all the factories are under the Ministry of Ecology’s supervision, and it’s not worth risking trouble for your wife.”

Wilfred weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

If Eliot wanted to cause trouble, he could shut down the factories for inspection at any moment, causing both hardship and financial loss.

He decided it was better to spend that money on compensating Josephine.

Wilfred said to Eugene, “Go pick out a set of jewelry, under ten million.”

Zachery, who had never left, overheard the conversation between Wilfred and Eugene.

He finally understood why Josephine always seemed so cold and distant!

Wilfred’s affection for Josephine was nothing but a facade, calculated after weighing the pros and cons.

She was living such a hard life because Wilfred never truly put her first.

A suppressed anger flickered between Zachery’s brows.

Today, even if Joshua were the emperor’s own nephew, Zachery would not allow anyone to humiliate Josephine.

Zachery took off his watch and walked out.

The gloomy sky hung overhead like a suspended bell, heavy and oppressive, as if it could fall at any moment and swallow all living things.

***

When Josephine woke up, she found herself in a hospital.

Patricia was keeping watch by her side.

It took her a few seconds to process what was happening.

But her memory stopped at the moment of the interview.

“Why am I in the hospital?”

Josephine’s head was still groggy. She propped herself up on her elbows, trying to sit up.

Suddenly, she felt a pain in her waist.

She lifted her hospital gown a little to check and found a large bruise on her waist.

Josephine couldn’t remember how she got hurt.

As her gaze wandered, she saw Wilfred and Helena also in the ward.

Josephine immediately pointed to the door, telling them to get out.

Helena added fuel to the fire: “It was Fred who brought you to the hospital, Josephine. How can you be so ungrateful?”

“Lena, that’s enough for now.”

Wilfred said to Josephine, “Just rest well.”

Helena followed Wilfred out.

She sighed, “How could Josephine end up in such a situation? She’s so proud. If she finds out the truth, will she be able to handle it?”

Wilfred stopped and looked at Helena. “Why do you say that?”

Helena bit her lip, looking conflicted and troubled.

“Josephine was unconscious at the time, and when she woke up, her waist was injured… And that Joshua, he was disheveled too. Maybe he did something to Josephine…”
