What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 361

When Quintin saw the smile on her face, he suddenly felt that his fall during his climb had been worth it. He pointed toward the main door and signaled for Josephine to come out. She nodded fervently and ran down the stairs. When she reached the living room and spotted Mrs. Larson feeding the dogs, she immediately stopped. She felt nervous all of a sudden.

Mrs. Larson sensed her too and looked up at her with a warm smile. "Madam, have you eaten?" Josephine blinked and seemed to have thought of something. She shook her head. Mrs. Larson stood up and dusted off her hands. She smiled and asked, "Shall I bring you more food?" Josephine nodded. Mrs. Larson was about to walk into the kitchen when a thought struck her and she retraced her steps. She closed the main door and fished a key out of her apron pocket to lock it.

Josephine's face fell when she saw this. Quintin, who was hiding, had also seen it. He gazed toward the door that was tightly shut and frowned deeply. He snuck out from behind the bushes to approach the glass door. Josephine was able to see him from the inside, but he couldn't look in from the outside. She walked to the glass door and knocked against it, but it was a shame that the quality was too good, so Quintin couldn't hear her.

She ran to open the door, but the knob wouldn't turn no matter what. She could only think of other ways. She ran into the other rooms, but all the windows were shut. Even if some were open, anti-theft grills had been installed, and there was no way she could get out. She gritted her teeth and sat down on the toilet bowl. She gazed up at the window above her, thinking that she wouldn't be able to get out. "That person must be a bad guy since he locked me up in here. Or why would he?" she thought.

While Josephine was angry and lost in thought, Mrs. Larson was calling for her outside. She had no choice but to walk out of the bathroom. Mrs. Larson's smile stayed in place even when she saw Josephine's sullen expression. "Madam, there are still some leftover croissants from breakfast. Come and eat." She beckoned to Josephine and led her into the dining room.

Josephine instinctively turned around to look toward the glass door, but Quintin was gone. She lowered her gaze, thinking that he must have already left. She picked up a croissant and bit into it gloomily. Although she was distracted, she actually finished the whole plate of croissants. Mrs. Larson stood watch beside her, so she had no chance to escape. Besides, Mrs. Larson seemed to have guessed her intentions and refused to even leave the main door open.

Josephine sat on the sofa watching a cartoon on television, but her gaze flitted toward the courtyard from time to time in search of Quintin. At that moment, the doorbell rang and she immediately turned around to look at the door. Mrs. Larson went to open it, and suddenly, a hand grabbed her by the shoulder and pressed her against the door. "Josephine! Quick, come out!"

Quintin had learned this trick from Phineas, and as expected, Mrs. Larson could not fight back at all. When Josephine heard his voice, she immediately flung down the television remote and dashed toward the door. Mrs. Larson's expression changed drastically as she yelled at Quintin. "What are you doing?! Mr. Alvarez will be furious if you take the madam away. Do you have a death wish?"

Quintin gave her a look and said rudely, "Shouldn't I be the one who's furious? He promised five days, but he went back on his word. I still plan to demand an explanation from him for that. You guys are unbelievable. You even locked Josephine up. Haven't you guys ever considered her feelings?"

"You …" Mrs. Larson still had more to say, but Josephine had already run out gleefully. She looked nothing like the Josephine who had been scared out of her wits when she saw Quintin last time. She trusted him so much that she ran out without a second thought the moment he called for her. It was exactly what she had done when Lewis called for her last time.

Dr. Halliday was right. She no longer needed Lewis. When her memory was gone, any random person could replace him, whereas he had lost the key to her heart forever just because he had been one step too late. As long as something happened at the right time, there was nothing that couldn't be replaced.

"Madam, you can't go out. Mr. Alvarez will kill me if you do!" Josephine stopped in her tracks and looked back at Mrs. Larson with slight hesitation.

However, Quintin pushed Mrs. Larson into the house and shut the door. He ran to Josephine, held her hand, and ran out with her. "Quick, follow me!"

Josephine kept looking back while running with him and saw that Mrs. Larson had already rushed outside. However, Quintin opened the car door and pushed Josephine into the passenger seat. Then, he got into the driver's seat and stepped on the gas. Mrs. Larson was left standing there in a puff of exhaust fumes. She chased after them for a long time, but she couldn't catch up. Left with no choice, she fished out her phone anxiously and called Lewis.
