What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 341

Lewis' lips tightened as he stared intently at Josephine. Concern, sadness, and self-blame filled her sparkling eyes.

However, there was one thing missing—desire.

Slightly worn out, Lewis raised his hand to pinch his brow. "It's fine."

Little did he know that the moment those words escaped his lips, tears welled up in her eyes and cascaded down her cheeks.

Frowning, Lewis asked, "Why are you crying?"

Josephine cried so heartbreakingly that her shoulders trembled. She signed between sobs. "Did you find someone else to treat you?"

Lewis paused briefly, then reached out to touch her face, feeling somewhat helpless.

"I won't do that. Don't overthink it."

Josephine signed, "But you won't let me treat you."

A faint twitch appeared at the corner of Lewis' mouth. He suddenly found it difficult to explain.

Josephine had decided to treat him as long as he was in pain.

Lewis' silence only made her feel more heartbroken. Tears flowed down her cheeks like scattered beads.

Lewis felt a headache creeping up on him. He caressed her cheek and whispered, "Don't cry. Be good."

Josephine bit her lip to stop herself from crying, but tears continued to stream down.

Lewis had just gone out with Sierra. Maybe he had already let Sierra treat him and didn't need her anymore.

Now that she was not needed, Lewis could discard her at any time.

Once again, Lewis fell silent. He didn't know how to respond to Josephine.

After some time, he sighed in resignation and said, "Go lock the door."

Josephine blinked, her tear-filled eyes fixed on him, not understanding why he wanted to lock the door.

He cupped her face and used his fingers to wipe away the tears before whispering, "We can't let anyone see us."

Josephine bit her lip and signed, asking why they shouldn't let anyone see them.

Lewis answered earnestly, "If someone sees us, it won't work."

Josephine widened her eyes and believed his words. She nodded eagerly and quickly got off the bed, rushing to lock the door before returning to sit on his lap.

She then bowed her head to undo his belt in a hurry.

Her anxious and flustered demeanor, coupled with the innocence and sincerity displayed on her face, would make anyone believe that she was craving for him.

Feeling somewhat anxious, Josephine struggled to undo his belt.

Leaning against the headboard, Lewis closed his eyes and massaged his temples, not showing much enthusiasm.

Josephine couldn't undo it. Out of frustration, she grabbed the belt and pulled it forcefully.

Lewis held her waist and flipped her over so she was beneath him. He firmly held her flailing hands and pressed them against the top of her head.

"It's okay. I'm not in pain anymore."

Josephine opened her eyes wide and stared at him as if trying to judge whether Lewis was telling the truth.

At that moment, a doctor knocked on the door from outside.

The doctor was puzzled, wondering why someone would lock the door for no reason.

Lewis let go of Josephine and said, "Go open the door."

Josephine glanced at him several times, but the urgent knocking at the door diverted her attention. She got off the bed and went to open the door.

"Mr. Alvarez ..." The doctor was about to speak but was shocked to see Josephine's messy hair. He subconsciously gulped.

Lewis sat calmly on the bed as if nothing had happened.

The doctor's mind connected the dots. Recalling the locked door incident, he silently cursed Lewis for being an animal.

It had only been two days, and he couldn't control himself.

Lewis showed no expression toward the doctor's unpredictable face and asked, "What's the matter?"

The doctor smiled patiently and said, "Mr. Alvarez, we must take an X-ray to see how your ribs are healing. If there's no displacement, we won't need to immobilize them."

Lewis initially wanted to refuse, but he glanced at Josephine, watching intently beside him, and hummed in agreement.

He chose to cooperate with the doctor.
