What Separates Me and You

Chapter 73 A Lunatic

Lewis hesitated for a while before suddenly looking at Conrad. Thinking about something, hist gaze darkened. “She sure runs away quickly.”

Josephine had to head to the hospital to be put on drips. Of course, she would leave quickly. She didn’t even have lunch to put in more time at work to end the day on time.

With the doctor’s prescription in hand, she collected her medication and went to the lobby to be put on drips.

Her abdomen was feeling better after being on drips the day before, but it still hurt quite a bit. At least she didn’t need painkillers to deal with the pain.

She found an empty spot to sit down. There were quite a lot of patients there, but luckily family members weren’t allowed. Everyone was there alone on drips.

Josephine took her phone out and looked once again at Sam’s text message. She had not replied to him after the text he sent the night before, so he stopped sending her more.

She typed, “I would like to inquire regarding support for the elderly.” She had always wanted to ask about that since she could not gather that much money for Patrick, so she wanted to see

if she could take it to court instead.

Josephine waited for about two minutes before he replied, “What is the situation like? Roughly describe it for me.”

Josephine didn’t know the specifics, so she only mentioned Mrs. Jinkins being kicked out of her house and how Patrick used Mrs. Jinkins to extort her for money.

A few minutes later, Sam asked, “Can you use a voice message?”

Josephine paused for a while and bit her lips. Then, she told him that she couldn’t speak

Sam was silent for a while before saying that he understood. Then, he sent a voice message, saying, “I roughly understand. From what you said, Patrick might be involved in abandonment, which is a felony. If you have concrete proof, he might go to prison. Usually, we will try communicating and settling outside of court for normal civilian issues. We will only take it to court if there isn’t any other way left because it could possibly affect the family’s relationship.”

Sam’s voice was deep and rich. He gave Josephine a feeling of righteousness, giving her a better impression of him.

Josephine typed, “I’ve met him before. I don’t think we can settle this.”

Sam replied, “Okay, then we’ll take it to court. But first, the testimony of the elderly victim is very important. The next is the evidence. Statements from witnesses, friends, neighbors, medical records, security footage, and call logs. All these could be evidence.”
