What Separates Me and You

Chapter 87 Think Outside the Box

Seth smiled and looked at Josephine taking off her clothes one by one.

Then, she hugged herself and faced the wall, wishing she could bury herself in the ground. Her long black hair cascaded down her back. The contrast of her hair against her fair skin was

alluring.

“Your pants.”

Josephine froze. Her knuckles grew white from gripping her arms tightly. She shivered under

the water.

She had given up hope of someone coming to rescue her because no one would come. That she knew clearly. Whenever she prayed countless times for someone to rescue her, no one had ever reached out to her, not one person. She was no longer the young little mute girl protected by adults.

Old Mr. Alvarez was no longer around. Lewis no longer cared about her. She no longer had anyone. The only person who treated her as a friend and cared for her was being tied up by Seth. What was the point of her struggling? What was the point of her wanting some dignity?

Josephine resigned to her fate. She no longer tried to resist. She would do whatever Seth wanted her to do. If he wanted her to strip, she would. If he wanted her dead, she would kill herself. No one cared about her cheap life anyway. It no longer mattered.

Perhaps she was too exhausted, or perhaps the shower was too cold, or maybe Seth had tortured her too much, but Josephine suddenly felt the world spinning. That familiar dizziness overwhelmed her once more. She swayed and fell to the floor.

It was the third day Josephine had gone missing. Conrad still had yet to find her. He was anxiously pacing around in the mansion’s courtyard.

While everyone was worried, Lewis, on the contrary, was remarkably calm. For the past two days, he went to work and returned home as usual, as if Josephine was still around.

No, he was even better than when Josephine was around. He would head home almost every day. No one understood what he was thinking.

Conrad paced around for more than ten minutes when the door to the mansion opened, and Lewis came out dressed impeccably, seeming his usual self. Conrad immediately went up to him, and Lewis glanced at Conrad before getting in the car.

Conrad got in the driver’s seat and looked at him in the back seat through the rearview mirror. Lewis leaned on the chair, resting with his eyes closed. At that, Conrad thought he should not say anything, so he started the car and drove to the office.
