What Separates Me and You

Chapter 271 I’m Here to Gift You Something

Lewis leaned against the headboard, and his pale lips curled into a cold smirk.

“I’d like to gift them something, of course.”

Conrad could feel chills traveling up his spine when he noticed the smirk. What was Lewis up

to this time?

He had no idea what the so-called gift meant. Could it be that Lewis wanted to get rid of Robert once and for all?

Lewis seemed to have sensed something. He shot a sideways glance at the IV drip connected to the back of his hand and quickly plucked it off without any hesitation.

Conrad widened his eyes in alarm.

After that, Lewis threw the covers off his body and got out of bed. His assistant quickly supported him while attempting to advise him. “Chairman Alvarez, the doctor has suggested you be hospitalized for the next few days. The injuries you sustained are very severe.’

Lewis shrugged Conrad’s hand away before grabbing his jacket. He asked impassively, “Will I die?”

That stunned the assistant. “Um, most likely not.”

Lewis draped the jacket over his shoulders while striding toward the door. “Then it’s all good.”

The corner of Conrad’s mouth started twitching involuntarily. He didn’t know what to say at that moment. Lewis didn’t care about his physique at all.

There was nothing he could do since Lewis insisted on getting discharged right away. Having decided to accept his fate, the assistant quickly caught up to his boss.

They soon arrived at the parking lot and got into Conrad’s car. Instead of starting the vehicle, Conrad turned around to say to Lewis, “Chairman Alvarez, the news of your accident hast gone viral. I think Master Robert and the others ought to know about it by now.”

Lewis sat in the backseat with his eyes closed. He grunted softly in response, not showing any emotions at all.

Conrad asked again, “Where are we going?”

“Fowler Manor.”

Conrad looked surprised for a moment, not expecting Lewis to travel all the way to Fowler Manor just to stir up some trouble.
