What Separates Me and You

Chapter 294 He Looked So Haggard

If it wasn’t for the fact that Lewis had ditched Josephine in order to save Sierra, she wouldn’t have gone missing.

Lewis had to be the one taking responsibility for this incident.

Then again, her disappearance didn’t matter.

Josephine was just a mute who didn’t have anyone to turn to. Even if she were to go missing,

die, or vanish from the face of the planet, no one would care about her at all.

Naturally, no one would demand justice for her.

She deserved to be treated that way.

That was the outcome of the ones who were neglected by everyone else.

Seth added, “Did she leave her phone in her hotel room?”

Lewis recalled Josephine didn’t take her phone with her. He could only place his hopes on the watch that Josephine wore on her wrist. It had a GPS tracker installed in it, but he didn’t know where she was because it was unable to establish a signal for such a long time.

The man suddenly suggested, “Tell Gerald to check out the areas without any signal reception in Hardington.”

“He’s combing the entire city right now, but there are too many areas without signal reception.” Seth threw the cigarette butt to the ground before crushing it with his foot. He turned around and was about to get into the car when he suddenly remembered something, which prompted him to glance at Lewis.

The latter’s expression was stormy as ever. He had yet to recover from his injury, let alone get any sleep in the past 24 hours. To make matters worse, his injury worsened when he rescued Sierra. Despite his determination not to let the pain and fatigue overwhelm him, it was evident that he appeared extremely haggard at that moment.

“Just don’t die while you’re searching for her.”

Seth got into the car after he was done speaking.

The car drove past Lewis, causing his windbreaker to flap in the wind.

He continued to gaze at the sea the whole time. A few couples were strolling along the beach while holding hands with each other, their shadows stretching across the sandy surface courtesy of the setting sun.

Occasionally, a few seagulls would fly over the sea and hunt for dinner by swooping down to peck at the surface. Once they ate their fill, they shot up to the skies and soon disappeared.

As the sun finally sank beyond the horizon, the lamp posts lining the road lit up gradually, casting a bright fluorescent light over the entire area. Simultaneously, the noise level
