What Separates Me and You

Chapter 319 A Kiss Might Make It Better

Lewis stared at her for a long while before he replied in a deep voice, “No, you have nothing to do with my injuries.”

Josephine showed no reactions other than biting her lips.

Lewis smelled strongly of blood. Images of him being unconscious crossed her mind. whenever she closed her eyes. There were a few instances when she thought he was dying.

She would be in utter bewilderment if he did.

What would she do if she was alone?

“Are you cold?”

Josephine nodded. It was freezing at night on the island though they were in the cabin. The icy wind persistently blew in on them, and they were only lightly clad.

Taking another bath towel, Lewis covered themselves with it and hugged Josephine tighter.

Josephine nestled her cheeks against Lewis’ chest. His heartbeat soothed her even though they were out in the wild.

She was awfully sleepy after staying up all day and night and soon fell asleep in his arms.

The night was chilly, and the moon hung unobscured in the sky. Pale moonlight reflected off the water’s surface, its shimmering image dispersing whenever the wind ruffled the sea, turning into glimmering white shards scattered across the water’s surface.

Meanwhile, Seth had already gone ashore. Countless people surrounded him just as he disembarked from the vessel.

The cruise ship was equipped with route monitoring, so the headquarters was instantly notified when the incident occurred, cutting off all communication with the ship.

Although the headquarters wouldn’t know what happened exactly, the abruptly interrupted communication link was sufficient to alarm them that something was wrong.

Hence, family members of the guests onboard heard about it and gathered at the pier, waiting for further news.

Nevertheless, only eight of them, including Faust and the rest, out of the hundreds onboard the cruise ship, returned to shore.

Indeed, only eight managed to make it back to shore, and it was Faust’s final decision. It would be quite a handful for them to straighten things out if the guests’ family members discovered that the cruise ship sank because of an explosion.

The best solution to this scenario was not to save anyone and treat this incident as a common
