What Separates Me and You

Chapter 106 Worse Than Before

Josephine hesitated for a moment before she raised her hands and signed, “I won’t go and see Mrs. Jinkins anymore, so please don’t hurt her.”

Lewis pursed his thin lips. His eyes were blazing, but he didn’t say anything.

“She’s already quite old, and her days are numbered. She’s quite pitiful, so please have sympathy for her on the basis that she had taken care of me,” she continued.

She was uncertain whether he had seen what she had signed, as his gaze was fixed firmly on her eyes and not her hands. It left her feeling completely helpless, unable to communicate her thoughts to him or engage with him if he didn’t direct his attention to her hands. When he was in a good mood, he would patiently observe her signing, but he wouldn’t even glance in her direction if he wasn’t. He had the power to refuse interaction with her at any given moment. Despite signing more words, he continued to maintain his focus on her face. Her heart sank, and she eventually lowered her hands, abandoning any further attempts to sign.

“Do you know why I don’t want you to have any contact with those people?” Lewis suddenly. said.

Josephine raised a brow and looked questioningly at him. She was on the brink of insanity from wanting to know. She wanted to know why she had no freedom or basic human rights. She waited for his answer, but he raised a slender finger and lightly traced it down her cheek, saying, “But I hope you never do.”

Something flashed across her eyes, and she felt a sense of déjà vu as Seth had also said

something similar. “You wouldn’t be asking such a question if you had your memory,” he had said, “and you wouldn’t be looking at me this way either.”

The context was different, but the impression was the same, which made her head buzz. What in the world had she forgotten? She racked her brain, but she couldn’t come up with anything. They were speaking to her in riddles and forcing her to recall while also keeping her from interacting with outsiders. She felt as though she was being pulled in opposite directions by two different forces, which were going to tear her in half. In despair and helpless, she could only silently bear with it and watch herself be torn into pieces.

The blanket slid off Lewis when he abruptly sat up, showing off his perfect physique. Criss- crossed red marks contrasted starkly against his chest and back. Her nails weren’t long, but the scratch marks were still shocking, and it was conceivable considering how passionate he had been last night. She felt as though she couldn’t move her body from her hands.
