What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 508

No matter what Mrs. Larson said, Josephine paid no attention to her.

Mrs. Larson returned to the kitchen and prepared a bowl of oatmeal for Josephine. She brought it out and asked Josephine if she wanted to eat again.

However, it was still in vain.

Mrs. Larson sat beside her, scooped up a spoonful of oatmeal, and brought it to Josephine's lips. This time, Josephine reacted by tilting her head to avoid the spoon.

At this point, Mrs. Larson didn't know what else she could do.

A group of bodyguards surrounded the mansion. Josephine had no chance to do anything drastic. Even if she spent more than five minutes in the bathroom, someone would knock on the door.

Josephine dragged her feet up the stairs, and Mrs. Larson followed her.

She entered her bedroom, and Mrs. Larson followed her closely. Mrs. Larson didn't leave her side for even a second.

Josephine paused and turned to look at Mrs. Larson.

Mrs. Larson smiled awkwardly and said, "Mrs. Alvarez, you can do whatever you want. I won't disturb you as long as you're in my sight."

Josephine stared at her for a while, then averted her gaze and began searching for something in the room.

She found an envelope in a drawer and took out its contents. It was a stack of pictures she took with Lewis back at Hardington.

There were at least a dozen sets of photos. Josephine was smiling happily in every picture.

Meanwhile, Lewis only smiled in a few of the pictures.

She flipped through these photos until she reached the last one. Then, she retrieved a lighter from the drawer, walked over to a trash can, and began to burn the pictures.

Mrs. Larson wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. She couldn't stop Josephine. She could only let Josephine burn the photos.

After burning the photos, Josephine continued searching the room. Soon, Josephine found a white wristwatch, or more accurately, a tracking device.

Inside the device were all her memories from when she had dissociative amnesia. She couldn't burn the watch, so she slammed it onto the ground and tried to break it. After a few failed attempts, she crouched down, picked up the wristband, and bit it.

Her actions startled Mrs. Larson. She quickly hid in a corner and called Dr. Halliday.

When Dr. Halliday arrived, Josephine had already thrown the wristband into the trash.

"Where is she?" Dr. Halliday asked.

Mrs. Larson nodded toward the walk-in closet. "She's in the walk-in closet."

They both approached the closet and found Josephine rummaging through clothes. She tossed everything from the closet and shelves onto the floor, making a mess all over the room.

Josephine grabbed a gray suit and was about to tear it apart when she felt something in the suit's pocket. Her movement froze, and she reached into the pocket to take out whatever was inside.

Inside was a worn velvet box that seemed to be toyed with frequently.

Josephine's gaze flickered as she slowly opened the box. A diamond rested within it.

The diamond on the ring sparkled brilliantly in the light.

Dr. Halliday pulled Mrs. Larson aside and whispered, "She's fine. Don't worry about her."

"What do you mean 'fine'? You just arrived. You don't even know what she did earlier."

Dr. Halliday sighed. "No matter what she did, it's better than doing nothing. It's good for her to let out her emotions."

Now Mrs. Larson understood. Josephine was venting.

"So, we shouldn't interfere?"

"Don't interfere. Just keep an eye on her."

Hence, they stopped paying attention to her and stayed outside her room.

Josephine didn't come out of the walk-in closet until late at night. Mrs. Larson was still worried, so she decided to check on her.

She found Josephine curled up inside the closet, fast asleep.

In the following two days, Josephine remained hidden inside the closet. She refused to eat or drink. Mrs. Larson's lips were chapped from talking, but Josephine still refused to come out.
