Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 1268

She’d never done anything like this before. Her nerves were a mess—her heart pounded so loudly she could barely hear herself think.

Josefina’s voice cut through the tension, cool and steady. “Wilson, a bet’s a bet. Time to own up.”

Wilson’s face twisted in protest. “How am I supposed to know you really cured Zachary? Maybe his headache’s just taking a break!”

Josefina didn’t miss a beat. She turned to Dr. Tian, the alternative medicine expert. “Dr. Tian, you know your stuff. Could you please check Zachary and see how he’s doing?”

Dr. Tian nodded, stepping forward. “Sure.”

Zachary rolled up his sleeve, offering his arm. Dr. Tian took his pulse, silent and focused. After a long moment, Dr. Tian stared at Zachary in disbelief.

“Well, I’ll be. Zachary’s headache really is gone.”

Zachary grinned. “Dr. Tian, remember last time I came to you? I asked if anything could fix my headaches, and you said you were out of ideas. Hearing you say I’m better now, I can finally relax.”

Dr. Tian looked at Josefina like he’d just struck gold.

What a find.

He was practically glowing with excitement. “Josefina’s medical skills are beyond mine. She’s truly gifted!”

Mr. Marquez chuckled. “I knew Josefina could do it. She’s always been humble—never one to brag for nothing.”

Wilson just stood there, words stuck in his throat.

He was the one who’d talked big. He was the one who should’ve kept his mouth shut.

He tried to sneak away quietly.

But Josefina called him out before he got far. “Wilson, isn’t it time to pay up?”

With everyone’s eyes on him, Wilson froze in place.

Mandy smirked, “You’re not trying to run away, are you?”

Wilson’s face went bright red. “No way!”
