Josephine’s fingers twitched slightly as pain flared from her palms.

Lewis lowered his head, leaning in dangerously close. His hot breath brushed against her face as he demanded, “Who did you learn it from?”

Lewis didn’t bother explaining himself. Instead, he freed one of his hands so that he could force Josephine to look at him. “Oh? Do you still not recognize me?”

The latter bit her lower lip while scanning his face for a moment. After that, she looked down in disappointment.

However, she never did that.

Lewis tilted his head. “Go take your medications.”

Josephine stared at him for a while, soon realizing that he would never let her out of the room. as long as she refused to take the medicine. Hence, she walked toward the nightstand
