What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 304

Lewis dragged Josephine all the way to the car. He drove her to the hospital once again.

Subconsciously, she had developed a growing aversion to that place since he had gotten mad at her in the hospital this morning. Even before Lewis could take her inside, she found herself trying to avoid entering the building altogether.

The moment Josephine got out of the car, she gripped the door handle tightly to show that she didn't want to follow Lewis into the hospital no matter what.

Lewis spent some time trying to get her into the hospital, but he kept failing. When he turned around to look at her, he finally realized she was glaring at him the whole time. Her eyes stubbornly conveyed her reluctance to enter the hospital.

The man paused for a moment, having sensed something at that time. His stoic face suddenly relaxed into one of gentleness as he moved toward Josephine and patted her on the head.

"It was my fault just now. I shouldn't have lashed out at you. I'm sorry about that."

His voice was so gentle that Josephine couldn't help but look dazed.

Lewis continued, "Let's go get a check-up. Once you're done, I'll take you out and buy lots of good food for you. What do you think?"

The young woman's reluctance started fading away upon noticing his gentle expression.

Hence, he continued, "Come on. Listen to me. Let go right now."

The last command was extremely effective on Josephine. She released the door handle immediately before moving to stand next to him.

Lewis dragged her to the Obstetrics and Gynecology department and registered her for a walk-in appointment.

Josephine didn't know what they were doing there. She followed him wherever he went, anyway.

After that, the man coaxed her into following the doctor into the diagnosis room to go through a check-up. He even promised her more delicious food in order to get her to comply.

Left with no choice, Josephine could only do as she was told.

She looked very confused throughout the check-up. The moment she got her blood drawn, she found herself hating the hospital even more.

However, Lewis kept a close eye on her. He would guard the doorway wherever she and her doctor went. Once she came out, he wouldn't hesitate to drag her back if she were to wander more than three feet away from him.

Soon, the results of her medical examination were released.

This time, Lewis grabbed Josephine's hand tightly to prevent her from disappearing again. Currently, they were sitting at the desk inside the doctor's office so that they could listen to the doctor's analysis.

Josephine snuck a peek in Lewis' direction, noting the serious expression on his face. His eyes were fixated on the doctor's face as though he was worried that he might miss out on some details.

After the female doctor went through the results, she placed them down before glancing at Josephine. Her brows crinkled slightly when she noticed Josephine looking very confused.

Those with more than two brain cells would notice how weird that young woman was acting right now. She didn't seem like a regular young adult.

"She's not pregnant." The doctor turned to shoot Lewis a meaningful look. "Her uterus walls are very thin. Did she go through an abortion in the past?"

The man pursed his lips wordlessly. In a way, he was acquiescing to the doctor's assumptions.

She continued, "Additionally, she is currently experiencing inflammation in her uterus. Please be attentive to her symptoms. You should minimize sexual intercourse for now. Sir, you seem quite mature, so you should be aware of the risks associated with inflammation in the reproductive system. If her condition worsens, it could pose a significant threat to her overall health. Given her thin uterine walls, it will be difficult for her to conceive again. Even if she does, she faces a heightened risk of recurrent miscarriages."

Once Lewis was done listening to the doctor's explanation, he fell silent for a very long time.

Sometime later, he finally spoke up. "Are you saying that she won't be able to get pregnant anymore?"

"I didn't say that. She has a small chance of conceiving, but it's very easy for her to go through a miscarriage once she does."

Lewis no longer uttered a word.

As for Josephine, she couldn't really understand the conversation.

Were they talking about her?

Lewis asked another question. "Then what's with the gagging and dry heaving?"

"She's suffering from gastroenteritis."

The doctor then glanced at Lewis. "Since you want a baby that much, why did you tell her to abort it in the first place?"

"That's none of your business." The man refused to tell her anything. "What should she do now?"

Naturally, the doctor got slightly agitated upon hearing Lewis' unfriendly response. Observing Josephine's innocent and naïve appearance, she could already surmise what had transpired.

That man must have been the reason why. He knew the young woman was very naïve, so he tricked her into getting the abortion.
