What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 354

Just as Quintin was about to make a phone call, Josephine suddenly grabbed his hand and shook it.

He abruptly turned to look at her.

She innocently gazed back at him, then pointed to the bun in the hands of a passing child before blinking her eyes cutely at him.

Quintin felt a slight stir in his heart as he stared into her lively, large eyes. He tightened his grip on the phone.

"Are you hungry?" He asked, then feeling like he had asked a silly question.

Phineas had brought her here in the morning, and it was already past three in the afternoon. No doubt, she was growing hungry.

Josephine nodded, her eyes fixed on the bun in the child's hand. She gulped.

Quintin silently stared at the number on his phone for a moment before finally deciding to turn his phone off.

He put his phone in his pocket and smiled. "Let's go, then. I'll treat you to something delicious."

Josephine's eyes lit up when she heard the mention of delicious food, and she vigorously nodded at him.

He found her reaction amusing and couldn't help but pinch her cheek, something he would never have dared to do before.

With that pinch, he realized her skin felt so soft.

"Let's go." Quintin held her hand and walked toward the exit of the hospital.

Josephine clung to his arm. Afraid of being left behind, she practically hung onto him.

He would occasionally glance at her sideways while gripping his phone in the pocket with his other hand. Suddenly, he didn't feel like telling Lewis this news anymore.

He was worried Lewis would come and take her back once he found out.

If he and Josephine got closer during these five days, would he be able to replace Lewis?

If she refused to go with Lewis, would Lewis let her stay?

Knowing Lewis, Quintin knew the man would go back on his word. He could figure that out even with just some common sense.

While he was lost in his thoughts, he looked up and suddenly saw Lewis walking toward them with Phineas from the nearby parking lot.

Quintin's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively tightened his grip on Jospehine's hand. Did he find out so soon?

Lewis clearly noticed them too. He strolled leisurely with his long legs and stood before the two.

Quintin looked at him warily. "Don't tell me you changed your mind so quickly?"

The man didn't answer. His gaze lingered on Quintin's face for a few seconds before shifting to their intertwined hands, and finally, he looked at Josephine.

She was also looking at him, but her gaze was unfamiliar.

It was as if she didn't recognize him.

Lewis' gaze paused on her face for a few seconds before he asked Quintin, "Why did you bring her here?"

A wave of relief washed over Quintin as he heard that. He confidently said, "Didn't you say she was sick? I brought her here for a check-up to see if there's anything wrong with her."

Lewis' dark gaze was locked onto him as if trying to see through him.

For one second, Quintin felt like Lewis had seen right through him.

Fortunately, Lewis only cast him a brief glance before walking past the two of them and entering the building.

Quintin turned his head and sighed inwardly. He whispered to Josephine, "That man is a bad guy. From now on, stay away when you see him, okay?"

Josephine stared at Lewis' retreating figure and glanced at Quintin. Under his expectant gaze, she obediently nodded.

Quintin was momentarily stunned. He only wanted to test her, but she actually agreed to what he said.

He felt a slight pang of guilt in his heart.

Sensing something, he instinctively turned his head, only to see Lewis standing not far away, staring back at him with an intense gaze.

Frightened, he grabbed Josephine's hand and started running.

Lewis watched as they fled and pondered for a moment. He turned to Phineas and said, "Go check it out."

"Check what out?"

Lewis cast him a glance.
