What Separates Me and You

Chapter 163 Evidence of His Love for Her

“Madam, you…” The nannies looked at her nervously. They were desperate to stop Bambam from crying and took their chances with Josephine. But now they suddenly recalled that Josephine went through two forced abortions, and the culprit behind those hideous acts was Bambam’s mother. This realization set fear in their hearts.

Josephine raised her head and glanced at them, tightening her grip on Bambam. Maybe because she exerted too much force, Bambam started to cry again in her arms. His voice was hoarse because he had been crying loudly for so long.

“Madam, return the child to us. We will think of other ways to comfort him.” One nanny reached out and wanted to grab Bambam, but Josephine turned and walked away with Bambam in her arms. Before she could walk far, she bumped into a man’s chest and instinctively stepped back.

“Master Lewis,” the nannies greeted with a relieved voice.

Josephine looked up and saw Lewis standing in front of her emotionlessly. She clenched her fingers on Bambam’s swaddling blanket and stared blankly at Lewis. Lewis saw the crying baby and asked, “What’s the matter?”

One nanny explained, “Young Master Baron had been crying fiercely recently, so we thought of letting Madam comfort him. But….Madam was reluctant to give him back to us.”

Lewis shifted his gaze to look at Josephine’s face. “Why are you holding him?”

Josephine pressed her lips together tightly, offering no response. She herself was unsure of her own desires and intentions at that moment. All she felt was an overwhelming need to somehow justify the tragic loss of her innocent children when she was reminded about them. Confusion clouded her mind, leaving her uncertain about the course of action she should take. All she knew was that she harbored a strong reluctance to surrender Bambam back into their
