What Separates Me and You

Chapter 324 He Seemed Weaker

Josephine waited for a while, yet Lewis never replied, so she continued munching on the asparagus.

The crunching sounds were deafening. She looked like a rabbit munching on a carrot stick when she ate the asparagus.

As Josephine ate, she suddenly let out a loud burp. There was still half a stalk left in her hand, so she gave it to Lewis and indicated that she couldn’t eat anymore.

The latter gazed at her unblinkingly for a moment. Then, he grabbed the remaining half and started eating it.

Josephine suddenly recalled that Lewis was still injured, so she quickly scooted over to him and felt his back. “Let me look at it,” she gestured.

The man didn’t say anything, which meant he didn’t turn her down.

Josephine quickly got up to her feet and circled around him to check his back.

He was still wearing the shirt from before. A visible slash marred the fabric. Once Josephine parted it with her hands, she could see the wound on his back.

Unfortunately, the glow emitted by the fireflies was too weak, so the young woman couldn’t see the wound in its entirety. All she saw was a black line.

She reached out to caress it gently, feeling the area around the wound starting to swell. At the same time, the wound felt a little moist as well.

When Josephine looked down at her fingers and saw the blood staining them, she widened her eyes in shock before rushing to kneel in front of Lewis.

Alarm took over her senses as she hurriedly gestured, “You’re bleeding! What should we do?”

Lewis sat on the ground with one of his legs curled casually. He took another bite of the asparagus before replying nonchalantly, “I’ll still live.”

The young woman hung her head sadly. “I’m sorry.”

Her partner shot her a glance. “Don’t run away on your own next time.”

Josephine nodded obediently, vowing to herself never to run away on her own ever again. If it wasn’t for the fact that Lewis had been searching for her the whole time, his wound wouldn’t have torn open.

The sight of the man bleeding made Josephine recall the time when he was unconscious. She felt very alone and helpless back then. The thought of having to feel the same way again frightened her.

A while later, the young woman raised her head and started gesturing again. “Let me treat you

again.”

Lewis paused in his actions.

Josephine gazed at him innocently, her bright and doe-like eyes telling him that she really wanted to help him out.
