What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 502

Shocked, Josephine trembled. She quickly opened her Whatsapp. After confirming that the message was indeed from Seth, she felt somewhat nervous.

She wanted to reply to him but changed her mind.

Instead, she deleted their chat history altogether before putting her phone away.

The new media management department was given a day off because of Yona's incident.

The rumors revolving around Yona damaged only the company's reputation before this. But her suicide had many serious implications. It could potentially affect the company's stock as well.

They needed to come up with a solution. Otherwise, they would all suffer the consequences if Lewis held them responsible.

Instead of returning to Styx Mansion, Josephine went to visit Avery.

After entering Avery's ward, she noticed someone else was present. It was none other than Quintin, whom she hadn't seen in a while.

She instinctively glanced at Darren. The two bodyguards seemed conflicted too.

Josephine paid no attention to them and walked right in. They didn't have a proper reason to stop her. After all, this was Avery's ward.

"Josie, you're here!" Avery was the first to spot her and greeted her with joy.

Quintin turned his head too. Knowing Josephine could speak and had returned to normal, he looked somewhat nervous.

"Jo-Josephine."

Josephine nodded and approached them.

Quintin blushed when he thought about how he might have overstepped his boundaries when Josephine lost her memories. He wondered if Josephine remembered them.

The blush on his face was quite visible, considering his already pale complexion.

Stuttering, he said, "Well, I heard from Avery that you're back to normal now?"

"Yeah."

Then an awkward silence settled between them.

Avery's gaze bounced between the two. She seemed to be enjoying the show. After a brief silence, she playfully tapped Quintin's leg with her crutch.

"Why are you blushing? Haven't you two already tied the knot?"

She hit the nail on the head. Blushing even more, Quintin shot her a glare. "Can you just stop talking nonsense? I was forced to marry her due to circumstances."

Josephine nodded in agreement. "Yes, it was Quintin's way of helping me."

If it weren't for Quintin, Robert might have sent her away to someone else at that time.

"Is that so?" Avery clicked her tongue repeatedly. "That wasn't what you said last time."

"Josie, let me tell you something. This guy once mentioned to me that you two had a special connection ..." Avery hadn't finished talking yet when Quintin suddenly lunged at her and covered her mouth with his hand.

Avery was already injured. The sudden tumble caused both of them to fall onto the bed.

"Shut up, Avery!" Quintin's face turned even redder as he felt embarrassed and angry. He glared at Avery fiercely.

Avery struggled to lift her hand and push him away. She winced in pain. "Are you crazy? Can't you see I'm injured? Ugh ... that hurts."

Pushed aside, Quintin felt his face grow even redder. He gave Avery another warning glare. "Stop making up stories!"

Avery gave him a playful glance and pretended to be in pain again. She beckoned to Josephine. "Oh, it hurts. Josie, come help me."

Josephine had been finding it hard to join the conversation earlier, but upon hearing Avery's words, she hurried over to support her.

Avery leaned against her shoulder. She raised her plaster-casted hand and placed it on Josephine's shoulder. She then shot a teasing look at Quintin as if asking him whether he was jealous or annoyed.

She could be affectionate with Josephine, but someone was too timid to even touch her.

"Oh, my lower back hurts. Josie, can you give me a little massage?"

Josephine nodded and placed her hand on Avery's lower back before gently massaging it. "Is it here?"

"A bit lower."

"Yes, that's it."

Quintin felt triggered. He stood up, snatched Avery's crutch, and limped toward the door.
