What Separates Me and You

Chapter 191 What Had She Done Wrong

An irate tone crept into Lewis’ voice. “Which part of that did you not understand?”

Indifferent, Lewis shot him an expressionless glance. “Is she still inside?”

Dr. Halliday bobbed his head up and down at high speed. “That’s right. It’s been two days. I’ve
