What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 517

Lewis only relaxed when Josephine finished the entire bowl of oatmeal porridge. Then, he held her hand while tenderly saying, "Rest well. Let me know if you want to do or eat anything."

Josephine nodded before looking down at the former's bloodied clothes. "You should head home and change."

Lewis hesitated for a moment.

"I won't do anything. After all, we already made a promise to each other."

Only then did Lewis nod. "Okay. I'll go home and change now."

With that, he pet her head out of habit, then left.

Josephine watched the door close, then shifted her attention to the gauze around her wrist. She grazed her fingers against it but didn't remove it. While she didn't know how long she had left, she knew her body well enough to know it was near its end.

She shut her eyes, but it wasn't because she felt sleepy. She was just tired.

…

Lewis drove back to the villa, showered, and changed after leaving the hospital. He tidied himself up, which transformed him from a miserable man to the esteemed chairman he used to be.

The first thing he did after cleaning himself was return to the hospital.

A sigh left his lips once he saw Josephine resting in the bed. He sat on the seat beside her and guarded her side at all times.

The two co-existed that way for three days.

On the fourth day, Conrad delivered breakfast like he had been doing recently.

That was when Lewis asked, "Where has Yannis gone?"

Conrad froze, then looked around before replying, "Oh, right. He hasn't visited in days and even forgot to replenish your medications. I'll phone him right away."

Following that, Lewis took out the breakfast and fed it to Josephine.

Josephine saw Conrad had tried calling Yannis several times from the corner of her eyes. Yet, his attempts were to no avail.

"Chairman Alvarez, Dr. Halliday's phone has gotten switched off. I can't reach him. Do you think he's in trouble?"

Lewis brought another spoonful of oatmeal porridge to Josephine's lips. "Find him."

Conrad nodded before rushing out to deploy their men in search of the doctor.

Technically, Yannis was a mere doctor, so Lewis didn't need to care where the former had gone. Yet, Yannis' grandfather used to go everywhere with Alan. Sadly, Yannis' father was uninterested in studying medicine. He didn't partake in the family trade.

Meanwhile, Yannis inherited his grandpa's medical skills.

Still, the Halliday family enjoyed the benefits of his grandpa's occupation over two generations. They became trusted figures to the Alvarez family when Yannis' grandfather passed. The Alvarez family viewed them as an essential existence.

Regardless, Yannis was useful to Lewis. The crucial part was he knew Josephine's health the best, so it was natural that Lewis wanted to track him down.

Conrad searched the area once before returning to inform Lewis that Yannis had fled.

"He ran away?" Lewis asked.

Conrad rubbed the tip of his nose. "Yes, he ran away three days ago. On a plane, too. We've tracked his current location to the city, Qoigas. But it's unclear whether he'll leave the country."

Josephine would be discharged from the hospital that day. Her wound had started to scab again. Lewis brought Josephine back to Styx Mansion since she disliked the hospital's disinfectant smell. She would recover there.

Lewis was busy helping Josephine pack. He had just folded a piece of clothing when he heard Conrad's words.
