What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Could Actually Be So Heartless 

“You!” Tyler was furious. “Can you stop fooling around?”

“I’m not fooling around. Are you going or not?” Avery was already sitting on the windowsill. Looking down from that height, she couldn’t help but shudder.

To be honest, Avery didn’t have the courage to jump, but she knew that this threat would work on Tyler.

“Okay, okay, I’ll go!” Tyler was really afraid that Avery would do something reckless.” Come down from the window quickly.”

Avery grinned and quickly got off the windowsill. “Go ahead, I’ll wait for your message.”

“You’re really going to be the death of me!” Tyler sighed. He was helpless when it came to his sister.

After ending the call, Tyler apologized to his client and drove to Lewis’s house.

The doors to the mansion were tightly closed, and he couldn’t see anything from inside the car. He got out and rang the doorbell, but there was still no response.

Just as he was about to leave, Avery sent him a message. It was the password to Lewis’s mansion.

After receiving the password, Tyler was caught in a dilemma. Was Avery asking him to break into Lewis’s mansion?

He hesitated for a few seconds before entering the password. The doors opened with a click.

Tyler walked into the mansion, but he did not wander upstairs. He stood in the hallway and called out for Josephine.

After that, he waited for a few minutes, but no one appeared.

Tyler turned to leave when he suddenly heard a faint thud, like the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Tyler thought it was his imagination, so he listened quietly for a while.

After a few seconds, he heard the sound again. It was much clearer this time.

Tyler strode toward the direction of the sound and finally stopped in front of a door. He called out tentatively, “Josephine?”

There was no response.

Tyler shouted a few more times and tried to turn the doorknob, but the door was locked.

“Josephine, are you in there?”

Josephine was awakened by Tyler’s voice. He sounded a little muf fled, but she knew that someone was outside the door.

A few minutes ago, Josephine was lying on the ground in a daze. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name. Although she thought that she was just

hallucinating, Josephine reached out her hand to respond to the call. Something fell to the ground and made a loud noise.

This time, she was sure that someone was really calling out her name.

She desperately reached out and tapped on the door.

The sound was very faint, so imperceptible that Tyler thought he’d imagined it.

He called out again, “Josephine, if you’re inside, tap three times.”

Soon, he heard a very soft tap on the door.

A second tap.

However, after waiting for a while, there wasn’t a third sound.

Tyler was almost sure that there was something behind that door, but he didn’t know if it was a person or something else.

He hesitated for a moment before taking a chair and forcefully smashing the door open. As the lock fell off, the door creaked open. It took a lot of effort for him to push the door wide enough so that he could look around. It seemed to be a storage room, filled with many cardboard boxes and books.

There was a pile of (sca tt ered) books at the door. Before Tyler could enter the room, he noticed a hand underneath the pile.

His eyes narrowed, and Tyler quickly bent down and pushed the heavy books aside. Josephine was buried under the pile of fallen books.

She was curled up on the ground, her face pale as a sheet. Her whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and her disheveled hair covered her face.

Even Tyler, who didn’t want to meddle in other people’s affairs, couldn’t help but be dumbfounded at the sorry sight.

How could Lewis do such a thing?

Josephine was his wife, and she was carrying his child! How could he actually be so heartless?

Without delay, he carried Josephine in his arms and rushed out of the mansion, driving at high speed to the hospital.
