What Separates Me and You

Chapter 197 It Would Be Weird if He Didn’t

Seth smiled and straightened up. He reached out a hand to rub Josephine’s head, but she recoiled from him. His hand froze briefly, but he still placed it on her head.

“I’ll be going first, don’t miss me too much.”

She didn’t respond.

He laughed and turned to leave, but he hobbled slightly due to his partially healed leg injury, which wouldn’t be noticeable unless one were to watch him closely. Josephine immediately rushed to the door and bolted it shut once it closed, exhaling in relief as she leaned against it. Something flashed across her eyes as she looked down at her bandaged wrist.

It was pouring heavily outside, and the roads were flooded. A car quietly came to a halt near the house that she was staying in, its wipers swiped away at the rain falling on the windshield. Conrad’s hands and feet were slightly chilly as he sat in the driver’s seat. He watched as Seth walked away holding an umbrella and quickly vanished in the rain before secretly glancing at

the man in the backseat via the rearview mirror.

“Do… Do you want to go in, sir?” he asked tentatively.

Lewis gazed at the door of the small building for some time before he turned away and coldly said, “What for?”

“Madam?”

“M-Miss Vance.” Conrad quickly corrected himself.

Lewis chuckled coldly. “It would be weird if he didn’t.”

“Huh?”

“Why do you think he’s still in Elysium?”

swallowed what he was going to say and slowly drove away. The car quickly disappeared in the rain, as though it was never there. He discreetly glanced at Lewis through the rearview mirror again and was puzzled. Why didn’t he take any action even after knowing Seth’s motive and that he would seek out Josephine? Was it because he didn’t care what Seth did to her, or was it because he knew he wouldn’t? But he said so himself earlier
