What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 416

Lewis' gaze fell on her misty eyes. His lips moved, but no sound came from it.

Sierra's tears fell uncontrollably. She struggled as she reached out to hold his hand. "Lewis, I don't care if it's a lie. I'm scared I can't hold out much longer. I feel so miserable, lying here always."

Lewis' brows knitted, and frustration edged in on his face. He abruptly stood. "Stop letting your mind run wild. Rest well. I'll visit you some other day."

Sierra's arm froze midair and slowly dropped.

She watched as Lewis left, and tears rolled out of the corners of her eyes.

When Lewis left the ward, the doctor stepped forward, saying, "Mr. Alvarez, Ms. Woods' condition isn't looking good."

"Why do you say so?"

The doctor sighed. "We called for resuscitation twice. She had extensive blood loss, pulmonary edema, and multiple fractures all over. She needs analgesic injections every day, and excessive drug use brings about side effects."

Lewis replied, "Give her the best medicine available and heal her."

"We'll try our best …"

Lewis paused, but he eventually left and returned to Josephine's ward.

Josephine was asleep again.

He frowned and asked Mrs. Larson, "Didn't she sleep last night?"

"She did. Perhaps she's too bored and can only sleep."

Lewis approached her bed and placed his finger on her shoulder, gently stirring her awake. "Josephine."

He had to call out to her several times before Josephine slowly opened her eyes. When she saw it was him, she rubbed her eyes. "When can I go home?"

Lewis froze. "Let's go out for a while."

Josephine was slightly reluctant to move about. She felt tired and wanted nothing else but to sleep.

However, she forced herself to get out of bed, get dressed, and follow Lewis out of the hospital.

It was freezing outside. Josephine shrank back though she was wearing a wool jacket. She shrank further when the wind blew.

Lewis noticed that and wrapped his coat around her, pulling her into an embrace as they headed for the parking lot. "It's not far. We'll be there soon."

Josephine nodded and shrank between his arms, which shielded her from the wind.

Josephine was still sleepy when they were in the car. She leaned against the window, and her eyelids slowly drooped to a close as the car slowly moved.

Lewis kept glancing at the passenger seat as he drove. Josephine's fluffy collar hid the bottom half of her face as she slept peacefully. Lewis slowed down and stopped by the roadside, watching her with an everchanging expression.
