What Separates Me and You

Chapter 241 Seven Years

After Mrs. Larson and Mrs. White returned home, they busied themselves with preparing dinner and decided it was time to wake Josephine up. Knocking on her bedroom door

repeatedly, they waited for a response, but there was only silence on the other side.

Exchanging a concerned glance, they reached a consensus and turned the doorknob, gently pushing open the door to Josephine’s room.

Their faces instantly paled. They went to search around the mansion for Josephine, including the bathrooms and storeroom, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Mrs. Larson uttered, “What do we do? Madam seems to be missing!”

“Don’t worry. Maybe she’s just strolling outside and waiting for the rain to stop.”

Mrs. Larson replied unhappily, “Did you forget what Mr. Alvarez told us? He asked us to follow her wherever she went. What do we tell him now?”

Mrs. White’s face turned paler. She tried to calm down. “Hey, she’s an adult now. She couldn’t have gotten lost, could she?”

“Let’s wait and see. Maybe she’ll be back in a while. If not…”

Mrs. Larson cut her off, “No ifs or buts. Let’s call Mr. Alvarez.”

Mrs. White stopped her by pressing down her hand. “Are you mad? If he knows we didn’t follow Madam around and that it’s why she hasn’t returned home yet, we’ll be fired in no time.

After hesitating for a bit, Mrs. Larson agreed with her and didn’t try to ring Lewis anymore.

They both grabbed an umbrella each and decided to search for her again.

Following the path outside the mansion, their search lasted for more than two hours, but it

was to no avail.

They returned to the mansion feeling really anxious. Even Mrs. White began to feel scared.

“I think we should call Mr. Alvarez.” It was almost ten at night already, after all.
