What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 370

Dazed, Josephine stood in the middle of the water. Quintin helped her tie her hair up in a bun. It looked messy, and she had damp baby hairs stuck to her cheeks.

However, her tiny face remained uncovered. Coupled with the loose hair falling next to her face, she looked effortlessly attractive.

Her dark yet clear gaze was fixed on Lewis. She felt unfamiliar and nervous.

Lewis didn't do anything. He simply stood at the edge and watched her.

Josephine retracted her gaze and started searching for Quintin. However, he was nowhere to be seen. Panic, she began lurching toward the edge.

Finally, she got out of the pool. The cold wind hit her, making her shiver. She then grabbed the bathrobe on the bench and put it on.

She searched everywhere, including the wooden cabin and the yard, but she couldn't find Quintin.

Josephine turned back and saw Lewis still standing at the edge of the hot spring, staring at her from far away.

Biting her lip, she mustered her courage and approached the man. She lifted her hands but couldn't gesture any complicated sign language. Hence, she simply gestured, "He's gone."

Lewis helped her and Quintin before. She thought he might be a kind person.

He nodded and answered solemnly, "Yes, he abandoned you."

With widened eyes, Josephine stared at him in disbelief as if she didn't believe what he said. However, her eyes gradually turned red.

Thinking that Lewis was lying to her, she wanted to ignore him and turn to leave.

Lewis grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "Where are you going?"

Josephine refused to talk to him. She struggled with all her might but couldn't break free. Left with no choice, she pushed him.

Lewis grabbed her other hand effortlessly, and Josephine instantly lost control. Furious, she glared at him with her red eyes.

Lewis frowned. He seemed to be unaware of the hatred in her eyes. "I told you he's never coming back."

Josephine almost subconsciously shook her head.

"You don't believe me? Do you see a single shadow of him here?"

Josephine looked around, and indeed, she didn't catch a trace of Quintin's presence. Tears rolled down her eyes. Pouting, she began crying.

Upon seeing this, Lewis released his grip on her hand.

The next second, she suddenly raised her hand and pushed him away forcefully. She tried to vent all her anger on him.

He stumbled at the unexpected push and grabbed Josephine's collar at the last second.

The two fell into the water together, splashing patches of waterwork. Their clothes were soaked.

Josephine flopped around in the water. Although the water was shallow, she couldn't get up because she was face down.

She choked on the water and began to feel suffocated.

As she was struggling in despair, a pair of big hands supported her arms and pulled her up.

Josephine sat in the pool and coughed violently. She coughed up a lot of water.

After a long while, she got her breath back.

Suddenly, a chuckle rang out beside her.

Josephine angrily turned around and saw Lewis sitting in the pool like a drowned rat. His hair was dripping with water, and his soaked shirt was tightly pressed against his skin. She could vaguely see the muscle contours under his clothes.
