What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 351

Josephine didn't want Lewis to hate her, so she docilely complied with him.

Phineas brought her out of the mansion, where the gate cut off their lines of sight, and into the car, where she sat silently.

He peeked at her through the rearview mirror, only to realize she was weeping miserably.

Nevertheless, she didn't make a fuss about wanting to get down. She merely wept silently.

He couldn't bear the scene, but Lewis' suggestion was the quickest solution. Quintin would never have designs on Josephine ever again, only if he willingly signed the divorce agreement.

Besides, she was only staying with him for several days. She should be okay.

It wasn't that insufferable, was it?

She was a kid at heart, after all.

As these thoughts crossed Phineas' mind, he never paused once as he drove out of the mansion.

In the mansion, Lewis brows were constantly furrowed as he watched the car drive off.

Dr. Halliday reminded him softly, "Uhm, sir. Madam's condition …"

Lewis glanced at him. "What are you trying to say?"

Dr. Halliday had mixed feelings as he said, "I read the medical certificate you brought back from Hardington. Didn't the doctor state that the cause for the madam's memory loss is still unknown? Will her condition … deteriorate if you send her to Quintin's place so abruptly?"

"It's only for a few days. How bad can it be?"

"I-I can't say for sure. It won't matter if the madam were a true ten-year-old child, but with her condition, anything may happen, you see."

"Then do you know the cause of her memory loss?"

"Uhm … No, I don't."

"Then you should shut up!" Lewis' face changed in an instant, his stern tone giving Dr. Halliday a shock.

He dared not say anything more.

Lewis phoned Phineas and instructed him to assign a few men to watch over Josephine. Then, he went into the study.

Soon, Seth arrived.

He was surprised when he didn't see Josephine and asked Mrs. Larson, "Where's that mute?"

Mrs. Larson looked as though she didn't know where to start. Stuttering, she glanced upstairs and told Seth what happened.

He raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "That guy … He's truly capable of anything."

Mrs. Larson smiled awkwardly. It wasn't her place to comment.

She saw with her own eyes how clingy Josephine was to Lewis these couple of days, but he sent her away just like that. Josephine must be feeling very downcast.

Seth didn't go looking for Lewis. He went to the sofa and poured himself a glass of water. Then, he stared at it instead of drinking the water. "Quintin is a hindrance, indeed. It's better to deal with him as soon as possible," he mumbled. Then, he took a sip.

Quintin wasn't the main concern—it was the Fowler family.

Things had been difficult enough with Kiran around. It would be more troublesome if they gave Kiran a chance to cooperate with the Fowler family. Therefore, it was best if Quintin voluntarily gave up on Josephine. It would solve their problem once and for all.

That was if they excluded Josephine's condition from the equation.

By then, Phineas had reached Quintin's home with Josephine. "Mr. Quintin, I've brought the madam here. According to the agreement between you and Mr. Alvarez, you have five days, after which we hope you'll keep your promise and sign the divorce agreement if the madam refuses to stay with you."

Quintin sized up Josephine. Her eyes were red; she seemed to have just finished crying.

He withdrew his gaze after he heard Phineas. "I know. Do you think I'm the same as Lewis, that man who can't keep his word?"
