What Separates Me and You

Chapter 296

Chapter 296 Isn’t That Right, Mr. Vance

Seth closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath as he attempted to calm himself down. After a moment, he nodded slightly. “Yes. It’s me.”

Immediately after, he added, “Have you been staying here all these years?”

Paul nodded in response, a hint of excitement now present on his distorted face. “Yes! I’ve been staying here the whole time! I can’t believe you’re finally back!”

As Seth observed Paul’s emotionally charged expression, his already terrifying visage seemed even more menacing, resembling that of a spectral being capable of consuming humanity’s

very essence.

Seth slowly raised his hand. It froze in mid-air for a moment, but he gradually placed it comfortingly on the man’s shoulder.

“You must have suffered a lot.”

It seemed that Paul was the one who started the rumors of the mansion being haunted.

After all, anyone would have been scared mindless once they laid their eyes on the man’s face.

Even Seth, who had known that man for ages, couldn’t help but feel shocked when he first saw him. For a moment, he could barely recognize Paul.

“Not at all, Master Seth. You’re the one who must have suffered a lot.”

Seth looked down at his feet quietly for a long time. He noticed Paul’s exposed arms, which had burn marks plastered all over his skin as well.

It was difficult for him to imagine just how Paul managed to survive despite suffering from burns everywhere.

Just as the men conversed with each other, Josephine walked out of the room.

When Paul noticed her, he looked surprised for a moment.

The young woman had arrived at the mansion 24 hours ago. He tried to scare her, but it seemed that something was wrong with her head. Even though she was frightened of him, she

didn’t flee from the mansion at all.

After escaping into that room, Josephine squatted in a corner and covered her ears while squeezing her eyes shut to pretend he didn’t exist.

Paul did show up in front of her a few times, even walking past her from time to time, but the young woman kept her eyes shut. Her actions were hilariously futile, as she convinced herself she didn’t see or hear anything. All she did was curl into a tight little ball in the corner without the intention of moving, so Paul was unable to chase her away no matter what.

In the end, he felt sympathetic toward her, which resulted in him offering her some food.

Since then, Josephine just loitered around in the room, refusing to leave. All she did was wait for him to give her more food.

“Who is-”

“That’s Josephine.”

Paul couldn’t help but gaze at Josephine. Then, he proceeded to eye her from top
