What Separates Me and You

Chapter 119 Can You Not Leave

Josephine grabbed his phone and shook her head.

Dr. Halliday saw her reaction and felt somewhat resentful. “Mrs. Alvarez! This is your body. Can’t you be more considerate to yourself?”

Josephine continued to shake her head, but the doctor did not understand what she was trying to convey

Josephine pressed his phone down, and the doctor appeared to have understood, “You don’t want me to tell him?”

Josephine nodded, signaling him to put down his phone.

The doctor hesitated for a moment before he sighed helplessly and put his phone away. “Okay. I won’t tell him since you don’t want me to ”

The doctor was slightly taken aback by what he had read. He laughed awkwardly and said, “It’s not him? Haha, I’m sorry. Let me help you change your dressings.”

Dr. Halliday opened his medical kit, took some antiseptic, and applied it to Josephine’s face. He also used the antiseptic on her knees. She was wearing a nightgown, which made it convenient to reveal her wound by simply lifting the dress above her knees.

The doctor was shocked. He asked, “How did you get this wound?”

Josephine shook her head, indicating that she did not want to tell.

The doctor did not pursue it. He carefully removed the gauze from her knees. Due to the blood and the severity of her wound, the gauze clung to her flesh.
