What Separates Me and You

Chapter 103 Where Did You Think I’d Go?

Quintin’s back stiffened, and he turned to glare at Jack before sheepishly smiling at Josephine. “Ignore him. I was merely dropping by to visit, but I guess everything’s fine now that you’re awake.”

Josephine signed, “How much did you pay for my hospital fees?”

“It wasn’t much. Don’t worry about it,” Quintin answered, feeling slightly guilty.

Josephine could tell from the former’s clothes that he wasn’t a regular person. Similarly, she believed he likely came from a prestigious background since he could attend the social event earlier. With that in mind, she decided to repay him some other time, so she changed the topic and signed, “What orphanage were you talking about?”

Lips curving into a smile, Quintin explained, “It’s the welfare association my dad previously set up. He stopped running it, so I took over. However, I realized how pitiful the less fortunate. are once I visited the place, so 1 occasionally volunteer there and keep an eye on the association.”

“Oh, so that’s what he means by teaching kids there. No wonder he saved me. Most average people would avoid me like the plague once they find out I was in Lewis’ car,” Josephine mused and nodded. She then signed, “You’re amazing.”

“That’s nothing,” Jack piped up, “Quintin also started an animal shelter. Many stray cats and dogs now have somewhere to stay because of him.”

Hearing all that made Quintin flustered, so he shrugged it off. “I’m merely doing what I can to help.”

In the two, Josephine saw a kind of vitality and vigor that she seldom noticed in others or herself. Her eyes twinkled with envy at how the two could pour their efforts into doing meaningful things and whatever they liked.

Noticing the disappointment in her eyes, Quintin couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? You don’t seem happy. Hmm. How about this? I’ll take you to see all the cute cats and dogs once.

you recover.”

Josephine was in the middle of a nod when she held herself back, shaking her head instead. While she wanted to go, she knew there was no way Lewis would allow it. Thus, she signed, I’m not interested, but thank you.”

At the same time, she thought, “If Lewis won’t even let me see Mrs. Jinkins, it’s less likely he’ll approve of me visiting an animal shelter. I’ve already gotten Avery in trouble, so I can’t let the same happen to these two kind men. It’s probably best if I distance myself from them.”

“That’s a shame,” said Quintin, “But it’s okay. The offer still stands for whenever you change your mind.”

Josephine motioned, “How much are my hospital fees? I’ll pay you back.”
