What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 373

Lewis merely hummed in agreement.

Josephine sat silently at one side of the ward, blending into the background. She wasn't angry upon seeing Sierra. Instead, she felt relieved. Sierra could certainly take good care of Lewis and prevent similar incidents like the one just now from repeating itself. Besides, she could finally slack off a little.

Sierra had no idea that was what she was thinking about. Given Josephine's silence, Sierra thought something had probably happened between Lewis and Josephine, which led to Lewis allowing Sierra to stay. Even so, Sierra was happy she could stay and looked after Lewis wholeheartedly.

At noon, Conrad brought them lunch.

Josephine ran up to him excitedly and took the food from him. She laid the dishes on the table and looked back at Lewis and Sierra as though she was enquiring if they wanted to have some.

Lewis' eyelids twitched when he saw her excitement. Grumpily, he said, "Have some yourself!"

Naturally, Sierra wouldn't join Josephine for lunch. She only wanted to be by Lewis' side.

Noticing that they weren't eating, Josephine sat and dug in. She was starving as she hadn't had breakfast.

Sierra peered at her, her brows furrowed. As clueless as she was about everything that had happened, she noticed that something was off with Josephine. It wasn't only Josephine's reactions; everything else about her, including her behavior, was off.

It looked like there wasn't an issue between Lewis and Josephine. If anything, something must've happened to Josephine.

"What's wrong with her?" asked Sierra softly.

Lewis stared at Josephine, who was enjoying her meal, and his lips curled into an indiscernible smile. "You can't figure it out?"

"I can't quite put my finger on it."

"Alright. It's time for you to go. Don't hang around." Lewis started chasing Sierra away.

"Can she take good care of you in this state?" Sierra was worried and didn't want to leave after finally being able to meet Lewis.

Previously, she promised not to show up in front of Lewis and Josephine, so she never approached Lewis after she returned. Lewis never called on her either.

Sierra couldn't help but doubt if he would forget about her entirely if she never visited him, and they would eventually lose contact.

"I don't need someone to care for me."

Sierra was rendered speechless. Though unwilling, she could only get up as she gazed at Lewis passionately.

Nevertheless, his eyes weren't on her. They were fixated on Josephine instead.

Her observation made her clench her fists. After picking up her purse, she left the ward. Looking into Josephine's encounters seemed a better choice than staying back.

After she left, Josephine devoured all the food on the table. It was too bland for her taste, but she ate it all anyway because she was hungry.

Appetite sated, she remembered Lewis, who was still lying on the bed. Casting her cutlery aside, she ran toward him.

She wanted to ask him whether he wanted to have something to eat, but she didn't know how to sign the words.

Lewis watched her quietly. He probably understood her intentions and said, "Fetch me a cup of water."

Josephine nodded and did so using a disposable cup. Learning from her mistake, she dared not add cold water to the cup and gave him half a cup of boiling water.

Lewis took the cup and instructed her to pass him the medicine on the table.

He took his pills and a sip of the hot water, after which his face instantly changed as he coughed and spluttered. He ended up spitting out the pills.

Josephine's eyes widened. She took a few steps back, afraid his spit would reach her.

Lewis held the cup tightly, crumpling it to the extent it was deformed.

Leaning forward, he took some time to recover himself before he looked up at Josephine. "I have a hunch you did that on purpose."
