What Separates Me and You

Chapter 325 I Want to Bathe

Josephine looked a little reluctant but still nodded in the end.

She watched Lewis leave the beach and disappear into the woods.

As per his instructions, she waited by the campfires and kept adding firewood from time to

time.

The young woman’s survival experience on this desolate island was close to none. She would have died in less than two days if she weren’t with Lewis.

Compared to her, Lewis was very experienced in wilderness survival. He could use all the resources on the island to his advantage.

The man returned to the beach soon enough. Once he was done placing the traps in the woods, he hurried back right away.

The water was still boiling inside the crate. When Lewis approached it to check it out, he realized that the amount of water had increased instead.

A frown appeared on his face at that moment. “Did you add more water into the crate?”

Josephine nodded happily while gesturing, “I noticed that the water was almost out, so I

added more water into it.”

Lewis could feel the corner of his mouth starting to twitch. He took a few deep breaths in

order to calm down.

Josephine blinked mutely, not understanding what he meant.

The man explained, “The water has to be dried up. How am I supposed to extract the salt without doing that?”

His partner finally understood what he meant, so she apologized while looking quite guilty.

“It’s fine as long as you remember this fact.”

Josephine nodded once again.

Lewis made a trip back to the yacht and gathered the empty bottles there. Then, he placed them in a crate before heading into the woods to collect the water from the stream.

After the freshwater was boiled, he stored the water supply in the yacht.

The man made several trips into the woods and always returned with fruitful results. At one point, he even dragged a banana tree all the way to the beach.

The man stacked the banana leaves together before binding them with vines. It would serve as a makeshift door for the cabin.

Once the layers were stripped from the banana tree’s stem, Lewis dug the banana blossom out and fed it to Josephine. While she ate, he filled the crates with bananas.

Josephine noticed how busy Lewis was, which made her feel even more guilty. She really wanted to help him, but she couldn’t do anything without screwing up.
