What Separates Me and You

Chapter 278 What an Unfamiliar Word

It was already morning when Josephine woke up.

She clambered up from bed in a daze. She felt an excruciating pain when her palm came in contact with the sheets.

Josephine intuitively raised her hands before her eyes. Both were in bandages. Wounds were also all over her fingertips and had Band-Aids over them.

Confusion flashed in her eyes.

Something peeked through the clouds in her mind, but it disappeared when she focused on it, leaving her in suspense.

Frustration rose within her.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Seth walked in. Josephine looked at him. This man was

another reason for her confusion.

Seth wore a black tuxedo with a longer lapel today. As he strode in, he lowered his eyes, and their

gazes met.

Josephine hadn’t ceased being surprised whenever she saw him. She would secretly guess his gender. Then, she saw his Adam’s apple. She gestured, “Who are you?”

Seth read her gestures, and his lips curled into a smile. “Have you forgotten me again?”

Josephine frowned.

Seth sat beside her and reached out to touch the top of her head. Josephine flinched.

However, he still managed to touch her. He caressed her and said smilingly, “I’m your brother -have you forgotten?”

Josephine was stunned. She sized him up. She had no memories of having a brother.

Seth took advantage of her memory loss and started fabricating lies. “We lost each other when you were five. I’d been searching for you all these years and had finally located you three years ago. But you’ve forgotten all about me now. How sad.”

Josephine’s eyes gradually widened. She remembered being adopted into the Alvarez family when she was five, but she remembered nothing of her life prior to that.

She acknowledged that she wasn’t one of the Alvarez family. Therefore, she gave Seth the benefit of the doubt.
