What Separates Me and You

Chapter 289 A Name in Her Mind

With that, Lewis suddenly glanced at Josephine.

Josephine seemed puzzled. She couldn’t quite get what Lewis meant.

Could it be that…

She raised her head and met Lewis’ mysterious gaze with her curious eyes, waiting for him to

answer.

Lewis briefly stared at her and subtly shifted his gaze elsewhere without answering her question.

Josephine lowered her head and looked at her pale face reflected on her wristwatch.

She played with the watch’s bezel as the screen continuously changed. Josephine asked herself, “Is this the 360-degree seamless recorder?” Then, she adjusted the angle and captured Lewis in the frame.

Lewis had his arm around her shoulder, his expression calm. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his gaze was fixed on something outside the window. He seemed lost in thought.

Seth glanced at the two through the rearview mirror and silently smiled.

Gerald rummaged through the glove compartment and pulled out a shriveled orange before handing it to Josephine. “Take a sniff of this. It should make you feel better. We still have a bit of a journey to the hotel.”

Josephine grabbed the orange from Gerald and sniffed it, but it didn’t have much effect. She still felt a bit nauseous.

Suddenly, Seth spoke, “Chairman Alvarez, you can take Josephine on the motorcycle.”

It was one of Hardington’s unique features. There were many dedicated motorcycle lanes here, and many people would come to rent motorcycles to ride on the scenic streets.

Gerald chuckled and said, “Yeah, you should definitely try it out. But it’s better to do it at night when the roads are less dusty.”

Lewis remained silent the entire time.

Despite feeling queasy, Josephine endured the journey until they reached the hotel. By the time they arrived, she was on the verge of passing out.

After exiting the car, she hurried to a nearby trash bin and vomited uncontrollably.

Gerald instructed someone to help them with their luggage while Seth left the two of them and followed the staff into the hotel.

Standing beside Josephine, Lewis supported her and patted her back. After Josephine finished vomiting, Lewis asked, “Feeling better?”
