What Separates Me and You

Chapter 227

Chapter 227 None of Your Concern

The rain grew heavier, the wind was faster, and thunder rumbled. Hugging the cage, Josephine crouched in a dark corner and shivered.

She didn’t bring her identity card and phone when she came out; she couldn’t go anywhere without those. 1

She also had no idea where to stay besides crouching in the corner of the pavilion like a stray dog.

The puppies were trembling from the cold too. They curled up against each other in the cage, whining pitifully.

Josephine couldn’t bear to see them in this state. She opened the cage and embraced them. Their soft, fluffy bodies gave her warmth, and they also stopped whining. Instead, they started snuggling against Josephine and found their way under her shirt.

Josephine unknowingly smiled when she felt the wriggling mass in her arms.

Suddenly, a dazzling beam shone on her, so bright she couldn’t open her eyes.

She looked up and peered.

In the rain, a car parked some distance away with its headlights directed at her, its wipers swiping continuously.

Josephine pursed her lips. She saw someone getting out of the car but couldn’t see that person’s face as he was against the light. She could only identify that person’s sturdy silhouette.

Holding an umbrella, that person walked briskly toward her.

When the figure blocked the headlights entirely, Josephine opened her eyes and looked up.

It was Lewis.

He stood before Josephine with an umbrella, lowering his eyes to meet hers.

Shadows concealed his face so she couldn’t see his expression. However, she felt the

surrounding temperature decrease by a few degrees.

Lewis cast the umbrella aside, bent over, and tugged Josephine to her feet.

Josephine could see his face now. Fury blazed across Lewis’s face, and he looked like he was
