What Separates Me and You

Chapter 29 Teach a Lesson

“I need to make a move,” Lewis said as he walked away without even looking back.

This made Sierra so angry that she almost jumped up from the sofa. “Lewis!” she yelled, but he didn’t even turn back.

Sierra was fuming. She had just been discharged from the hospital, and this apathetic man didn’t even think of comforting her.

Lewis drove very fast to the restaurant, but when he got there, it was already closed for the day. He sat in his car, staring at the unlit restaurant in silence for a moment before taking out his phone to call Josephine.

The call couldn’t get through as her phone was switched off.

Feeling annoyed, he took out a cigarette and lit it. Taking a few puffs, he threw it out of the window before driving back to the mansion.

However, he didn’t find anyone in the mansion either. The bed was still neatly made, showing that Josephine had not come back.

Suddenly, Lewis remembered that he had frozen Josephine’s card. She probably didn’t even have the money for a taxi. How could she return to the mansion?

Thinking of this, Lewis called Conrad immediately as he walked out.

On Josephine’s side, she had just sent Mrs. Jinkins back to her home, which couldn’t even be considered a house. It was just a shed built on the frame of an abandoned car near the garbage dump.

According to Mrs. Jinkins, the metal frame was given to her by the owner of the garbage dump. He helped her build the shed out of pity for the poor woman’s plight.

With mixed emotions, Josephine placed the things she had bought from the convenience store in the shed. As she leaned inside, she smelled a putrid odor.

When Mrs. Jinkins turned on the solar–powered lamp hanging above, only then did Josephine notice how dirty the bedding underneath was. She gaped in surprise and looked at Mrs. Jinkins with an indescribable expression. Josephine’s heart ached when she remembered how Mrs. Jinkins had taught her how to write and fold origami, and even told her bedtime stories. The memories of Mrs. Jinkins’s loving care made Josephine’s eyes turn red.

Mrs. Jinkins didn’t deserve to end up in such a sorry state.

At that moment, Mrs. Jinkins wanted to reach out and touch Josephine, but her

withered hand was covered with dirt and grime. She timidly withdrew her hand.

Noticing her hesitation, Josephine grabbed her hand and sat down next to Mrs. Jinkins.

“It’s so dirty here. Don’t soil your beautiful clothes.” Mrs. Jinkins was probably reminded of her son and daughter–in–law. Her eyes were red as well.
