Chapter 825 Just Because I Touched You and Kissed You
Hearing Jane's words, Zephyr's expression softened a bit.
"I don't need those riches and glory; I just want to live a peaceful life."
Jane wasn't surprised by his response.
Because Zephyr never craved material possessions.
"Alright, as long as you've made up your mind."
Zephyr glanced at her. "Of course I have. Being with you is the wisest choice I've ever made."
Jane crossed her arms and looked Zephyr up and down.
"Zephyr, I'm curious; why are you so fixated on me? Just because I kissed you and touched you?"
Jane's question was blunt.
Zephyr cleared his throat. "Yes, Officer Jane, as a law enforcement officer, you should know the law. If you don't become my girlfriend, touching and kissing me without my consent is against the law, isn't it?"
Jane was speechless.
In the eyes of the law, everyone was equal. If Jane touched and kissed Zephyr without his consent, it could be considered harassment!
How did Zephyr come up with this?
She was at a loss for words!
"Go to bed and rest now!"
Zephyr chuckled. "Jane, so it's settled; you'll be my girlfriend?"
Jane rolled her eyes, unwilling to respond to him.
For three days straight, Nora had been helping in the lab.
Zephyr stayed in the hospital for two days and couldn't stand it anymore, so he checked himself out and went back to work in the lab.
Because of their collaboration, Nora was running back and forth between Carl's lab and Zephyr's lab.
Seeing Zephyr working with his injuries, her eyes flickered, and she secretly took a photo of Zephyr working at his desk and sent it to Jane.
She also added a message.
Nora: [Dr. Wright is so dedicated that he hasn't even had lunch and has been busy all day. Officer Jane, maybe you should show some kindness?]
The implication was for Jane to bring Zephyr some food.
Soon, Jane sent back a photo of a sunny landscape.
Jane: [I've been busy all day, too, and I haven't even had a sip of water. Who's going to show me some kindness?]
Nora blinked at the message, then took a screenshot and sent it to Zephyr.
Nora: [Dr. Wright, aren't you going to bring some water to your girlfriend?]
At that moment, Zephyr had just finished his work.
Hearing the notification on his phone, he took a look and raised an eyebrow.
Jane was so busy she hadn't even had a sip of water.
He felt obliged to take care of her.
Zephyr: [Thanks for the reminder, Dr. Smith.]
Nora: [You're welcome. Jane is on her way back to the station, so hurry up.]
Zephyr: [Alright.]
Zephyr smiled, put away his phone, took off his lab coat, put on his jacket, and grabbed his car keys to leave.
Jeremy walked in with some food. "Zephyr, where are you going? I brought you something to eat."
"No thanks, you can have it," Zephyr said.
Jeremy asked, "What? What are you leaving for?"
"A date."
He was going on a date!
Jeremy laughed and called out to Zephyr's back, "Zephyr, make sure to win over Jane soon."
Zephyr made an OK gesture.
Leaving the lab, he got into his car and headed to the police station.
Thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and made a call.
"Marlon, Officer Jane and I are coming for dinner later. Save us a grilled fish."
"Jane's coming? Great, I got it!"
Marlon agreed happily, sounding like a fan of Jane.
Zephyr smirked, put away his phone, and started the car.
On the way, Zephyr had a vague feeling that a car was following him.
Zephyr frowned, thinking about his recent streak of bad luck, and became alert.
He deliberately slowed down to see how the car behind would react.
The car honked and then overtook him.
Watching the car's taillights fade into the distance, Zephyr shook his head and relaxed.
He was being too sensitive because of Jane.
Zephyr sped up and arrived at the police station.
Just in time to see Jane and a few colleagues getting out of a car.
Zephyr opened the car door and jumped out, calling, "Jane."
Jane, who was about to walk into the station, paused and turned to see Zephyr walking towards her with a smile, looking surprised.
"What are you doing here?"
Zephyr held a bottle of water, opened the cap, and handed it to her.
"Here to take you to dinner."
Jane's eyes fell on the bottle of water he handed over, feeling puzzled.
'How did he know that all she wanted right now was a drink of water?'
The timing was perfect.
"Thanks."
Jane took the bottle and drank deeply.
A few colleagues eyed Zephyr.
"Jane, who's this handsome guy?"
"Can't you see? He's so considerate; he must be Jane's boyfriend."
The colleagues were teasing.
Zephyr smiled and extended his hand graciously.
"Hello, I'm Zephyr, Jane's boyfriend. Thank you for taking care of her."
Jane almost choked on her water.
'My boyfriend? Zephyr, don't be so presumptuous,' She thought.
She hadn't actually agreed to be his girlfriend.
"Jane is amazing; she doesn't need us to take care of her at all!"
"Exactly, it's Jane who has been taking care of us."
The colleagues, all cheerful, joked with Zephyr.
Zephyr glanced at Jane. "No matter how amazing she is, but she's also someone I care about deeply. If she ever encounters danger, please don't hesitate to step in."
The colleagues all nodded.
"Of course."
"Mr. Wright, you're a good partner. You clearly care about Jane's well-being."
"How long have you and Jane been dating? How far have you gone?"
The colleagues, all men, started to stray off-topic.
Jane was speechless and pulled Zephyr away. "Alright, let's go."
She didn't want Zephyr to start spouting nonsense.
Zephyr chuckled and called back to the group, "We'll be off then. I'll treat you all to dinner another day."
"Great, we'll hold you to that."
Zephyr led Jane to the car.
As Jane fastened her seatbelt, she asked, "Zephyr, how did you know I was at the station? Did Dr. Smith tell you?"
She had just exchanged messages with Nora, and then Zephyr showed up with a bottle of water.
She couldn't help but connect Zephyr and Nora.
"Officer Jane is as sharp as ever."
Zephyr didn't deny it. "Dr. Smith said you were so busy you couldn't even get a drink of water and needed someone to bring you some warmth. I thought, as your boyfriend, I should be the one to come to your aid."
Just as she suspected.
Jane chuckled. "Dr. Smith, the matchmaker, really goes above and beyond."
Zephyr agreed, "She's a very responsible matchmaker."
Jane gave him a sidelong glance, not interested in bantering with him.
"Where are we going for dinner?"
"I've reserved a table at the Romero family's little restaurant. Let's go there."
Jane didn't object.
Zephyr was silent for a moment, then asked, "Has Hubert sent anyone to the station to bail out Alvin again?"
