What Separates Me and You

Chapter 225 Don’t Be Naive

Lewis frowned when he saw the divorce certificate. “Where did you get that from?”

Sierra stole a glimpse at Josephine and headstrongly said, “She gave it to me, of course. I came here to ask her whether it was true that you were divorced. She was afraid I wouldn’t believe her, so she showed it to me.”

Josephine stared at Sierra, listening to her manipulating the truth. She didn’t react.

Lewis glanced at Josephine. “Did you give it to her?”

Josephine merely shook her head.

Upon seeing that, Sierra hurriedly chipped in, “You damn mute! You were the one who gave this to me! Why are you feigning innocence? Lewis, this is your divorce certificate. How would I know where you kept it if she hadn’t given it to me?”

Lewis said nothing, but he looked miffed.

Josephine pressed her lips together and stared right at Lewis. She knew he would believe Sierra. After all, Sierra spoke with reason, whereas she couldn’t even defend herself-she was a mute who couldn’t talk.

However, Lewis snatched the divorce certificate from Sierra, ripped it to pieces, and threw it on the floor.

Sierra was so stunned she forgot to treat her wound. “Lewis, you.

Lewis tugged her arm and pulled her along. “Let me send you to the hospital.”

Sierra was reluctant. He always avoided the topic whenever such incidents occurred. Divorce was no trivial matter. Even so, was Lewis not planning on confronting the issue?

“Lewis, are you saying we should let her be? Look at the wounds I suffered!”

Lewis replied coldly, “How do you want to settle it then? Do you want to bite her back?”

“I…” Sierra was rendered speechless. She would love to do just that but couldn’t bring herself to do the same. She only wanted Lewis to pay Josephine back on her behalf or, at least, side with her.

But what did he mean by that? Was he going to sit on the fence?

Lastly, Sierra said, peeved, “I’m not a dog. Could I bite a dog just because it bit me?”

Lewis replied, “Then let’s go to the hospital.”
