What Separates Me and You

Chapter 171 Mr. Alvarez Might Have Overdrunk

Josephine halted. Frantically avoiding Mrs. Jinkins’ gaze, she bit her lips and shook her head.

Mrs. Jinkins had seen enough to see right through her reaction.

She took Josephine’s hand and heartfeltly said, “Josie, don’t lie to me. I won’t be at peace with myself if you’re miserable because of me.”

Josephine abruptly looked at her and waved urgently. She signed, “It’s nothing, Mrs. Jinkins. I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”

Mrs. Jinkins looked at her thoughtfully. She couldn’t help but reach out with her withered hand and caress Josephine’s face.

Mrs. Jinkins choked back a sob as she said, “Josie, I hope I’m not a burden to you.”

Her words triggered Josephine’s urge to cry. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she tightened her grip on Mrs. Jinkins’ hands.

In fact, she was dragging Mrs. Jinkins into this.

If only Mrs. Jinkins had been more self-centered, she wouldn’t end up like this, and her son and daughter-in-law couldn’t have mistreated her to this extent.

Josephine shook her head and hugged Mrs. Jinkins.

Mrs. Jinkins radiated warmth. The feeling was unfamiliar to Josephine-she felt cozy, as though she was with family.

She had felt such warmth from Lewis’ embrace before, but she had no idea why his embrace turned cold after that, infused with someone else’s scent-it no longer belonged to her.

Josephine shut her eyes and attentively enjoyed the fleeting, precious moment. Soon, she might forget about Mrs. Jinkins, Avery, and everyone else. Eventually, she might even forget herself.

Mrs. Jinkins gently caressed her back, lulling her to sleep like she used to when Josephine was
