What Separates Me and You

Chapter 215 Repaying Him for the Two Decades

Josephine’s pupils contracted as she abruptly tucked her neck and raised her arm in panic, attempting to shield her face. That dog sank its teeth into her other arm, causing Josephine to gasp as its fangs pierced through her puffer jacket and embedded themselves in her skin.

However, the ordeal was far from over. While Josephine was busy fending off the attack on her face, another dog sank its teeth into her leg. Unlike her thick clothing, her pants offered little protection, and her leg began to bleed immediately upon the dog’s bite. A surge of intense pain shot through Josephine’s calf; she saw black and almost fainted.

The dogs clung stubbornly to their bites, gripping Josephine’s limbs tightly and pulling with a ferocity that seemed intent on tearing her apart and devouring her. In the midst of the struggle, Josephine heard a faint ripping sound as the dogs shredded her puffer jacket. The down feathers burst forth, swirling through the air. Josephine thought it was snowing.

Ignoring the searing pain coursing through her body, Josephine mustered every ounce of strength to crawl toward the fence, desperately gripping it and shaking it with all her might. Despite her terror, she attempted to let out a scream, but her voice failed her. In the absence of any sound escaping her lips, her fear went unnoticed, leaving her isolated in her anguish, with no one aware of the excruciating pain she endured.

A dog suddenly attacked from behind, sinking its teeth into her leg and forcefully pulling her backward. The pain was so intense that Josephine saw black, and she released her grip on the fence. Helplessly, she was dragged to the ground, her head colliding with the unforgiving surface. A buzzing sound resonated in her ear, and she temporarily lost consciousness.

Josephine gave up struggling. She couldn’t fathom why Lewis harbored such deep hatred towards her, and even after their divorce, why he continued to subject her to such torment. Since he wanted her to die without leaving a trace, she decided to give in to his wishes. Josephine saw it as a way of repaying him for their two decades together. With her eyes and tears streaming down her cheeks, Josephine surrendered herself to this grim fate.

As Phineas arrived on the scene, his eyes widened in utter shock, and he felt as if his very soul had been jolted out of his body. He reared the dogs and knew their behavior. He saw a few dogs had locked their jaws onto Josephine, forcefully dragging her across the ground. He immediately shouted a command in their direction, “Let go!”

The dogs were startled and quickly dispersed, running away in all directions when they heard his voice and saw him rushing over. Phineas wasted no time and promptly opened the gate, dashing towards Josephine. However, as he reached her side, the sight that greeted him was nothing short of horrifying. Her clothing was torn to shreds, barely clinging to her battered body, while the ground was littered with scattered down feathers. Thankfully, her upper body had fared relatively better due to the protection of her thick garments, with only minor bite marks and scratches evident. However, her legs bore the brunt of the attack, both bleeding profusely, staining her jeans crimson. Trailing along the ground were two long, gruesome

tracks of blood, remnants of her merciless dragging. It was a truly harrowing sight to behold.

Josephine struggled to open her eyes. When she saw Phineas, her tensed nerves finally relaxed. She felt tiredness sweeping through her body and slowly closed her eyes again.

Phineas dared not delay any longer when he saw the state she was in. He quickly carried her and ran toward a room in the mansion. Fortunately, there was a doctor on the premises. They also had rabies vaccine since Phineas frequently got hurt caring for these animals.
