What Separates Me and You

Chapter 220 You’re Leaving Me

Josephine turned around stiffly. A Bentley was on the lawn, and Lewis came out of it. He was still in his black trench coat. After getting off the car, he strode into the house, seemingly in a hurry.

Lewis came to the door, and his gaze met Josephine’s. Time seemed to stand still; the only thing in motion was the dust particles floating between them.

Upon seeing this, Phineas immediately walked over and greeted nervously, “Sir.”

Lewis withdrew his gaze and turned toward Phineas instead, taking in Phineas’ contrition. ” Speak.”

Phineas opened his mouth but had no idea where to start from. He resolutely shut his eyes and said, “I’m sorry, sir. I lied.”

Lewis kept quiet. His icy stare was fixed on Phineas, waiting for him to continue.

Phineas peeked at Josephine’s legs out of the corner of his eye. Although she had changed into a looser pair of pants, her swollen legs were still faintly visible.

Bracing himself, Phineas said, “Madam is wounded, and it’s no minor injury.”

Lewis’ eyes flashed. He looked at Josephine’s legs and promptly instructed, “Roll up your pants.”

Josephine pressed her lips tightly. She looked down without a sound and rolled up her pants, exposing her bandaged legs.

Lewis pressed his thin lips together. He didn’t say anything, but his expression changed.

Phineas closed his eyes, awaiting his verdict. However, he didn’t hear anything from Lewis even after a long time. He cautiously said, “Sir, I-”

“Out.”

“Hm?” Phineas was stunned momentarily. He couldn’t catch that.

“I’m asking you to get the hell out of here!” Lewis suddenly raised his voice, startling Phineas.

“Yes, sir!” Phineas almost tripped over his heels on his way out. How he wished he could fly out of there instead!

After Phineas left, Lewis slowly walked up to Josephine. He lowered his eyes to look at her. His lips moved and fell motionless again. It took him quite a while before he asked, “Is it painful?”
