What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 371

It was almost noon when they finished showering. Lewis helped Josephine get dressed and ordered some food.

Sitting on the sofa, Josephine stared at the food. Her hunger instantly overcame her desire to search for Quintin. She took the plate of cut steak Lewis handed her and grabbed a piece with her hand before stuffing it into her mouth.

Lewis leaned against the sofa and watched her eat quietly.

The window was open, and the cold wind was blowing outside. Lewis coughed a few times into his fist.

He was already injured, and two days after Dr. Halliday instructed him to get some rest, he put himself through all sorts of trouble.

Now, he had worn himself down.

As he was sleeping with Josephine in his embrace that night, Josephine was awakened by the warmth of his body.

She tried to push him away but failed to do so. His chest was so hot that even her cheek was burning. She had begun to sweat.

After struggling for a long time, she finally managed to break free from his embrace. Hastily, she got up from the bed and opened all the windows.

Since his body was burning, Josephine wanted to be considerate and helped him open the windows.

Lewis was awakened by the cold wind outside. Slowly, he opened his eyes and noticed that Josephine had thoughtfully opened both windows.

The piercing cold wind rushed in and took away the heat in the room.

Josephine returned and squatted before the bed. Noticing that Lewis was awake, she stared at him anticipatingly.

He weakly closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Close the windows."

Josephine reached out and touched his chest, but it was still burning. She shook her head firmly.

She even woke up because of the heat he was radiating.

Taking a deep breath, Lewis lifted the blanket and propped himself up on the bed. He wanted to close the windows.

He had caught a cold, and coupled with the injuries he was suffering, he almost fell as soon as he got out of bed.

Fortunately, he landed back on the bed.

The wind was blowing in his direction as he sat on the bed. He looked down at Josephine beside him, feeling his head throb.

Then, he supported himself by holding his knees. Barely holding on, he said, "Bring me my phone."

Josephine looked around and remembered his phone was outside. She stood up and ran out of the room. After rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the living room, she found Lewis' phone in the pocket of his pants.

She went back and handed him the phone.

Unsure whether it was because his phone was soaked in the water for too long or it ran out of battery, the phone was turned off.

He casually threw his phone on the cabinet and instructed her, "Bring me a cup of hot water.

Josephine did as he said and went out to fetch him some boiling water. However, the cup was too hot, and she couldn't hold it. So she added cold water to the cup.

Hence, Lewis got a cup of cold water instead.

He looked at Josephine faintly and said, "Are you kidding me?"

She tilted her head and looked at him innocently with a confused expression. She thought she had followed his instructions and didn't know what she had done wrong.

Sighing, Lewis placed the cup on the table next to the bed and lay down weakly on the bed. Once again, he said, "Close the windows."

Josephine squatted on the floor and stared at him for a while. His face was pale, and his hair was disheveled. He looked feeble.

Seeing that, Josephine had no choice but to get up and close the windows.

Yet not long after she closed them, she touched his body and realized it was hotter than before. Frightened, she immediately went to open the windows again.

The next day, Conrad rang the doorbell.

Josephine instinctively thought Quintin was back. Excited, she went to open the door, only to find Conrad standing outside. Instantly, her face fell.

Conrad looked inside the room and asked, "Where's Chairman Alvarez?"
