Nurse walking 100

    <b>Chapter </b><b>92 </b>


    <b>Chapter </b><b>92 </b>


    <b>Drunk </b>Shermaine was nothing like her usual calm and easygoing self. Now she was acting like a spoiled little princess, <b>coquettish </b>and <b>picky</b>, dentureso <b>to </b><b>be </b><b>waited </b>on hand and foot. She singled out Joshua, insisting that only he could carry her on his back<b>. </b>


    Lily decided to stay out of it. After all, she figured Joshua wouldn’t just leave Shermaine alone. In fact, this was the perfect chance <b>to </b>let these two lovebirds have some quality time together.


    So, Lily handed Shermaine straight to Joshua and said, “Mr. York, please take care of her.” Then she obediently stepped aside to watch the scene <b>unfold</b><b>. </b>


    ‘Honestly, nobody could possibly resist her right now.”


    Lily was practically buzzing with excitement as she watched.


    Shermaine could barely stand still after being pushed toward Joshua. She wrapped her arms around his waist, leaning limply against him and <b>nuzzling </b>his chest. Then, without even opening her eyes, she tilted her head up and whined, “Come on, give me a piggyback!”


    Joshua swallowed hard, momentarily caught off guard by Shermaine’s sudden change. He pressed his lips together before murmuring<b>, </b>“Your dress is too long… I can’t give you a piggyback.”


    Shermaine frowned and pouted, “Then just carry me.” She really didn’t want to walk because her feet hurt too much<b>. </b>


    Just then, Ross approached from another direction. The moment he saw Shermaine clinging to Joshua, he felt <b>a </b>twinge of exasperation<b>. </b>There she was<b>, </b>acting like a spoiled little princess, demanding to be carried by Joshua.


    No way.


    Shermaine shouldn’t get too close to Joshua. Ross had to admit that Joshua was truly exceptional. With too much contact, she might actually <b>fall </b><b>for </b>


    him.


    “Sheary, I’ll carry you<b>, </b>okay?” Ross asked softly.


    Hearing Ross‘ voice, Shermainezily opened her eyes, nced over, and dered matter–of–factly, “I don’t want you. Joshua only.”


    Ross‘ heart cracked a little. He was rejected by his own sister! ‘No, she must’ve just picked Joshua because she didn’t want to trouble her dear brother with the heavy lifting. Yeah, that had to be it!‘ Ross told himself.


    If Shermaine woke up the next day and remembered what she had done to Joshua, she’d probably be mortified.


    “Sheary,e here. Let me carry you,” Ross coaxed gently.


    Shermaine turned her head away, stubbornly insisting, “No, I want him.” She hugged Joshua tightly, enjoying the <b>scent </b>on his body. It soothed the


    difort in her stomach.


    Hearing Shermaine’s words, Joshua felt an inexplicable surge of pleasure. Even drunk, she had chosen him. He said calmly, “I’ll take care of it.” Without another word, he effortlessly scooped her up by the waist.


    Shermaine was feather–light<b>, </b>curled up like a tiny kitten in his arms.


    “Take good care of Shermaine, and don’t you dare take advantage of her,” Ross said.


    Joshua thought, ‘Seriously? Does he think I’m some kind of predator?‘


    Ross‘ overprotectiveness was truly baffling.


    Joshua shot him <b>a </b>cool nce. “I won’t.”


    The girl in his arms stirred slightly.

    <b>Chapter </b><b>92 </b>


    <b>Joshua </b><b>lowered </b><b>his </b><b>head</b><b>, </b>unable <b>to </b>help himself–<b>a </b>faint smile <b>tugged </b><b>at his </b>lips. Behind his sses, his eyes <b>softened </b>with gende win


    <b>Shermaine’s </b>head swam dizzity, not <b>too </b>much, but enough to make her ufortable. She rested her head on his <b>shoulder</b>, her <b>wann </b>breath chests over Joshua’s neck, sending tingling shivers down his spine.


    <b>Joshua </b><b>wasn’t </b>usually sensitive, but right now, his neck tingled in a way he wasn’t used to.


    <b>Under </b><b>the </b>watchful eyes <b>of </b>the crowd, Joshua swiftly carried her toward the lounge, eager to set her down.


    <b>Standing </b>side by side, the two of them looked like a match made in heaven, so perfectly in sync that it was impossible to look <b>away</b><b>. </b>


    Owen beamed with joy at the sight. ‘Exactly! This is how you should dote on Shermaine. Now this is what being <b>a </b>true man of our family is all about!


    Roy, his face swollen and pressed with an ice pack, pulled Henry away from flirting with a pretty girl and eximed, “Did you see that just now? <b>The </b>way Shermaine talked to Joshua? Damn, that was wild!”


    Of course Henry had heard and seen it. He shot back, “None of your business. Joshua is cool with it.”


    Roy eximed, eyes wide with excitement, “No way! That’s insane. She just bossed Joshua around like that, and not only did he not get mad<b>, </b><b>he </b><b>actually </b>carried her!” At that moment, he found himself with newfound respect for Shermaine.


    Henry felt speechless. Why did he end up with such a clueless friend? He said, “Joshua has always admired Shermaine. You’re the only one who’s been badmouthing her all along.<b>” </b>


    Roy scratched his nose awkwardly. “Alright, I’ll go apologize to Shermaine.”


    Henry arched an eyebrow. Indeed, he should apologize, but that wouldn’t stop Joshua from teaching him a lesson.


    Calmly, Joshua soon led Shermaine to the lounge.


    Shermaine lounged back on the sofa and lifted her feet. “Take my shoes off for me,” she demanded<b>, </b>showing no courtesy to Joshua and treating him like her personal servant.

    Chapter <b>100 </b>


    Shermaine <b>agreed</b>. Still, seeing Roy in such a meltdown, she doubted a sh moment would cut it for him.


    Henry stood up to preet her with a friendly smile, “H, Ms. Shue, I’m Hemy. Please, have a wat


    Shermaine replied, “Hello,”


    Shermaine’s gaze fell upon the shadowyer, where the finally recognized the man leisurely smoking and sipping his drink. It was Joshua.


    In that instant, everything clicked into ce for her.


    Joshua must have known all along that <b>Boy </b>was the hacker harming her. That exined why he’d said those things in her room–he’d been deliberately steering her toward the truth.


    This guy was such a schemer


    Shermaine gave a slight nod, then walked over and calmly took her seat beside Joshua.


    “What would you like to drink, Ms. Shue?” Henry <b>asked</b>.


    After a night of heavy drinking, Shermaine had no intention of touching alcohol again anytime soon. “Just water, please,” she replied.


    Henry went to get it for her himself


    As Shermaine settled beside him, Joshua promptly stubbed out his cigarette.


    Shermaine arched an <b>eyebrow </b>and drawled, “Why didn’t you just tell me?”


    Joshua’s voice was low and husky from the alcohol, making him sound even more irresistible. He teased, “If I told <b>you </b>ahead of time, where’s the fun in that?”


    His words made sense. Seeing Roy <b>in </b><b>such </b><b>a </b>meltdown was oddly satisfying. She wasn’t usually the type to gloat, but remembering how rude he’d been to her before<b>, </b>she couldn’t help but feel <b>a </b>little smug


    Roy was finally reaping what he sowed–let him savor everyst bite of it.


    The private room was warm <b>with </b><b>the </b>central healing, making Shermaine feel stuffy in her coat. She casually slipped it off, and without missing a beat, Joshua took it from her and hung it on the hook to his right–right next to his own,


    Both wore ck turtleneck sweaters, making them look almost like a couple in matching outfits.


    By now, Henry had poured a ss of water and was holding it. He walked over and <b>gave </b><b>Roy </b><b>a </b>yful kick in the butt. “Time’s up. Get your <b>ass </b>up,” he said with a teasing prin.


    Roy whined pitifully. “Just three more minutes!” His dream had shattered before it even began. Joshua is so damn cruel, he sniffled inwardly. “Why did it have to be Shermaine? I might as well drown in my own tears<b>!</b>”


    Henry suppressed a <bugh</b>. “Come on, hurry up and pull yourself together. Go apologize to her


    Roy shot him a wounded look and grumbled. It was bad enough that Joshua was being ruthless. Now, Henry had joined him.


    “Ms. Shue<b>, </b>here’s yo


    your <b>water</b>,” Henry said as he handed her the ss.


    “Thanks.” Shermalna took it and then added, “Just call me Shermaine. No need to be so formal,”


    Henry hesitated.

    He then nced at Joshua. Seeing the man’s impassive face, he finally smiled and i


    “Wright, Shenmatra,


    Honestly, calling a girl so much younger than him with such respect did feel a bit awkward. But since Joshua didn’t mind and shar either, why not just drop (17.


    Henry sat down with a gin and said, “Ray is ranked third in the hacker world, but he couldn’t even trace your IP address. Shermalne, <b>you’re </b>seriously impressive<b>.</b>”


    Shermaine raised an eyebrow. “Ok”


    Third in the world?


    That was quite impressive.


    Who would’ve thought that gooly looking guy actually had some real skills?


    Shermaine calmly epted Henry’spliment. “Piece of cake,” she replied, She had always learned faster than others since childhood; some of he innovations even pushed the boundaries of current science and technology.


    This made her especially curious about the woman who gave birth to her. But after meeting Ruth, she was deeply disappointed and became convinced there was a conspiracy, which was why she never stopped investigating


    “And you know medicine too?” Henry <b>asked </b>again


    Shermaine nodded. “I know a thing or two.”


    Henry was naturally socially adept, the kind of <b>guy </b><b>who’d </b>always been popr, in their circle, he had the most friends and was never short ofpany wherever he went. Add to that his dashing looks, <b>and </b>he was quite thedies” már


    Shermaine turned to Henry, the two quickly getting caught up in their own lively conversation, leaving her fiancé, <b>Joshua</b><b>, </b>sitting off to the side like a total third wheel,pletely ignored.


    <b>Joshua’s </b>expression <b>remained </b>cold <b>and </b>detached, yet his ss had been constantly refilled since the start.


    From his side, he could see Shermaine’s pearly earlobe-so small and dainty, like <b>a </b>dewdrop about to fall from the tip of a flower petal


    Her earlobes seemed so kissable, almost tempting him to take them between his lips. And those lips. He bet they were set and sweet


    This wasn’t the first time his thoughts had wandered in this direction. But back then, he was too rational andposed.


    He would nip any budding feelings in the bud, trying to convince himself that Shermaine was nothing special to him, and that his kindness and indulgence were merely because he was keeping his promise.


    Yet <b>no </b>matter how he tried to rationalize it, he <b>couldn’t </b>exin just how far he’d gone in <b>his </b>dreamsst night–how he’d lost control <b>and </b>crossed every line with Shermaine
