What Separates Me and You

Chapter 143 She’s Nothing To Him

Josephine’s gaze flickered as she turned to look at the door. The door was shut tight, with no sign of anyone coming in or leaving recently.

A look of bewilderment crossed her face. She wondered if she was still somehow in her dreams.

She even wondered if she had been hallucinating.

She stood up from the ground. After sitting on the cold, hard floor for too long, her legs were utterly numb. They buckled underneath her, and she fell back onto the couch immediately.

Josephine rubbed her calves. The tingling numbness in them was so unpleasant that she winced painfully.

Subsequently, as she moved the muscles in her cheek, the tightness on her face became more apparent. She was almost certain now that she hadn’t been dreaming or hallucinating.

Someone had indeed applied medication on her cheeks.

Could it be that there was someone else in here with her?

Before she could figure it out, the door was pushed open, and Seth walked into the room.

This time, he wore an off-white suit, which accentuated his tall and slender figure. His long, graceful legs were especially notable, almost on par with Lewis’ appearance.

Seth walked over to her side and looked down at her.

Josephine’s fingers tightened over the couch as she watched him anxiously.

After a while, he crouched beside her and unlocked the metal chains encircling her ankles.

“Go and cook.”

Josephine was stunned for a moment before slowly standing up, dragging her sore feet behind her as she walked outside.

The weather had cleared overnight, but the sky remained cloudy. Dark clouds loomed over the mountaintops, creating an ominous atmosphere, as though threatening to crash down and meld with the ground below, blurring the boundary between heaven and earth.

Josephine went to the kitchen to get a basket before picking vegetables from the backyard. As she was worried about it raining later, she gathered enough to last a whole day.

Then, with a large basket brimming with vegetables in her arms, she stumbled her way back to the main building. The soles of her shoes were caked with a thick layer of dirt. The ground was slick, so she ended up falling over a couple of times,

When she reached the side of the courtyard, she squatted down and scraped off the mud on her shoes with a branch.
