When Love Breaks (Josephine)

Chapter 84

When the call connected, Zayn immediately began apologizing

"Josephine, don't be mad at me. I misspoke earlier, and I'm sorry. As soon as you hung up, I called Nadine and told her to do what you asked, but she can't find the shoes you mentioned.

"You" she began but another fit of coughing interrupted her.

"Don't talk, I'll be right back," Erhan said firmly. He placed the cup in her hand and hurriedly left the room.

Moments later, he returned with a doctor and two nurses. The doctor carefully examined Josephine, asked a few questions, and began writing on some pa
