What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 405

The coldness in Lewis' eyes startled the woman who spoke.

She was about to say something before she heard him ask, "Which way did she run?"

"That way." The woman pointed to the left.

Lewis didn't bother to pay her any attention and immediately turned to run in that direction.

Josephine exited through a side door and found herself on a pedestrian street with various food stalls lining both sides.

The delicious aromas filled the air, making her mouth water. Yet she realized she had no money, so she had to give up on the idea of buying anything.

She aimlessly walked along the pedestrian street. The drizzling rain made her hair damp with droplets of water.

Attempting to wipe away the water, she lifted her sleeves, only to end up wetting her face too, as her sleeves were also damp.

"Young lady." Suddenly, someone tapped her shoulder from behind.

She turned around to see two unfamiliar men. Quintin's face flashed across her mind, and she realized Quintin seemed to know her.

"Who are you?"

The two men exchanged a glance and smiled. "Don't you recognize us? We know you."

"Oh ..."

Josephine wondered to herself why so many people seemed to know her as she absentmindedly scratched her cheek.

"What are you looking for? We can help you."

Josephine responded, "I'm looking for my home. Do you know how to get there?"

"Yes, we've been to your home before."

Excited, Josephine eagerly held the man's hand. "Really?"

The men's smiles turned even more sinister when they saw her reaction. She must be really mentally ill.

"Of course, it's true. Come with us, and we'll take you back."

Josephine nodded eagerly, saying, "Okay, let's go!"

Finally, she thought she would be able to return home.

Thinking she could meet her parents soon, she smiled brightly and urged the man, "Let's hurry up!"

"Alright, relax."

The man didn't expect her to be so gullible. He pulled her hand and flagged down a taxi on the roadside. He then got her inside, told the driver an address, and the car started moving.

"Josephine!"

Josephine faintly heard someone calling her name. She straightened her body and looked out the window to see Lewis running out of the mall towards the taxi.

Lewis rushed towards the taxi, but all he got was a puff of exhaust fume in his face.

Lewis stood by the road and stared at the departing car. White puffs emerged from his mouth that dispersed into the chilly air.

The taxi disappeared into the hazy drizzle in the blink of an eye.

Taking a deep breath, Lewis closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down. He then took out his phone and made a call.

Inside the taxi, the two men had no idea what they had gotten themselves into. After all, they didn't even know the woman's name.

The men kept their eyes on Josephine, who donned a padded coat with the zipper pulled up to the top. Her furry hood covered her entire head. Only her tiny face was exposed.

Her hair was in a mess, and she had slightly chubby cheeks. Her eyes held an innocent, dark, yet clear gaze.

The two men's throats went dry as they developed evil thoughts. Their minds were corrupted, just like their lives.

The driver drove as fast as possible to the destination. It was an old residential area on the outskirts of the city. Most houses here were scheduled for demolition, and not many people lived there.

After leaving the taxi, Josephine looked at her surroundings and frowned. "Where is this?"

The man said, "This is your home. Don't you remember?"

Josephine shook her head firmly. "This is not my home!"
