What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 339

"I'll be right back, okay?"

Lewis' voice was gentle, like coaxing a child. Josephine pursed her lips, her fingers still tightly clasping his.

Lewis pondered for a moment before turning and walking out.

Josephine stared at his figure, watching as he opened the door before closing it.

She bit her lip, silently lowering her head and staring at her fingertips.

After Lewis came out, he took out his phone to make a call when he suddenly heard the sound of high heels behind him.

He furrowed his brow and turned to look.

As expected, Sierra stood behind him, looking pitifully at him like an abandoned puppy.

Lewis paused his dialing motion, pocketed his phone, and turned to face her.

Sierra spoke softly, "Lewis."

"What's the matter?"

Sierra's eyes welled up with tears. She approached Lewis cautiously and looked at him with tearful eyes. "Why are you being so cold to me?"

Unfazed by her tears, Lewis calmly met her gaze and said, "I have already made myself clear."

Sierra reached out to grab his arm and sobbed. "Why? Have you fallen in love with that mute, Josephine?"

Lewis subtly furrowed his brows. After remaining silent briefly, he brushed off Sierra's hand.

"I don't know how to explain it to you, but I hope you won't appear in front of her anymore, got it?"

Sierra lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.

Just when Lewis' patience was ticking away, she suddenly spoke up, "Can we be like how we were before?"

"What were we like before?" Lewis countered.

Sierra looked at him, tears sliding down her cheeks. She was beautiful, even when she cried. She wouldn't shout and scream to turn people off. Instead, she looked pitiful.

She cried and said, "At least not like how it is now."

Lewis looked at her expressionlessly.

Sierra continued, "I can promise you not to appear around Josephine, but can't you stop being so cold to me?"

"What if I disagree? Are you going to threaten me with suicide again?"

Sierra shook her head. "I didn't threaten you. You were the one who asked me to prove it to you."

Her words left Lewis speechless.

Indeed, she didn't threaten him with suicide. She only cut her wrist because Lewis asked her to prove it.

If Lewis hadn't saved her, she would have been dead by now. It wasn't a threat.

"Alright, go back now," Lewis clearly didn't want to continue the conversation. He added, "Behave yourself, and don't cause me any trouble."

Sierra sensed the slight loosening of his tone, and her face brightened.

She nodded quickly and eagerly.

She happily hugged him, and when she realized he didn't push her away, she looked up and whispered, "I'll listen to you. I promise not to cause you any trouble."

Sierra was tactful. She only hugged him briefly before letting go. Her mood instantly lit up.

Although tears still stained her face, she couldn't hide the upward curve of her lips.

"Well, I'll be going now. Please don't wander around anymore."

Lewis didn't say anything. Sierra walked away, her heels clicking, and left the hospital.

After she left, Lewis put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a black button-like object.

He looked at the item in his hand and chuckled ambiguously.
