What Separates Me and You

Chapter 64 Lewis, Do You Love Me?

“Miss, are you alright?”

Suddenly, someone helped Josephine up. She looked up to see a young man roughly in his college years. He was in a white down jacket with headphones around his neck and a backpack on his shoulders.

Josephine wiped away her tears and nodded.

“That’s good to hear. Go home then.” The young man smiled at her and left.

Josephine kept standing there, feeling the cold wind on her. It was a kind of iciness she had never felt before.

She sat on the steps, took her phone out, and looked at Avery’s message.

“What happened?”

Josephine stared at that message, not knowing how to reply. She sat there in a daze for almost two hours when she suddenly stood up and took a cab to the landfill where Mrs. Jinkins used to live.

When she reached her tiny hut, no one was there. Mrs. Jinkins’ belongings were taken away too the last time, leaving only the bed..

Josephine walked over and sat on the bed, gently caressing the dirty bedsheet.

Elysium was such a huge city. Where was she going to find Patrick and Mrs. Jinkins?

She took her phone out and aimlessly scrolled through her contacts when she noticed Mrs. Jinkins’ contact. She had almost forgotten that she had bought Mrs. Jinkins a phone.

Josephine immediately dialed Mrs. Jinkins. The tone rang for a long time, but no one picked up. She tried over and over again until an automated voice notified her that the phone had

been shut off.

She lowered her hands, sitting in a daze in the tiny hut, constantly worried about what would happen to Mrs. Jinkins. Mrs. Jinkins was not even picking up her phone.

It was not that Mrs. Jinkins did not want to pick up Josephine’s call. She had thrown her phone.
