What Separates Me and You

Chapter 333

Chapter 333 Love Shouldn’t Come In Shackles

Josephine shook her head. She didn’t want a present.

“What is your New Year’s resolution, then?”

She thought about it for a while before signing, “I want you to get better.”

Lewis was slightly taken aback, the intensity of his gaze deepening. “What else?”

“And to be with you forever.”

Lewis chuckled. The younger she got, the harder it was for her to hide her real thoughts. Her inclination to blurt out whatever she had in mind now amused him.

Josephine couldn’t understand the meaning behind his smile, but as he ceased to explain, she could only purse her lips and accompany him as he received his IV treatment.

She had no phone, but being by his side was hardly mundane.

Lewis switched on the TV, and she leaned against the headboard as they watched the New Year’s gala on screen.

The crackling fireworks outside were almost hypnotic by now, their incessant rhythm and the chatter on the television gradually lulling her to sleep.

Lewis switched off the lights, leaving only the white glow of the television and its muffled sound filling the room’s emptiness.

If he tilted his head at just the right angle, he could see her face through the dim lighting surrounding them both, her head resting on his shoulder as she slept soundly. The weight of her face was light on him-perhaps a result of her mindfulness of his injuries. Strands of hair fell on her cheeks as well, and he tucked them back behind her ear gently.

The next day, Gerald and Conrad came by to see the two.

Lewis glanced at him briefly. “What about Seth?”

Conrad, too, was startled by his sudden question. It seemed that Seth was nowhere to be found since they’d returned from the island.
