What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 341

Lewis' lips tightened as he stared intently at Josephine. Concern, sadness, and self-blame filled her sparkling eyes.

However, there was one thing missing—desire.

Slightly worn out, Lewis raised his hand to pinch his brow. "It's fine."

Little did he know that the moment those words escaped his lips, tears welled up in her eyes and cascaded down her cheeks.

Frowning, Lewis asked, "Why are you crying?"

Josephine cried so heartbreakingly that her shoulders trembled. She signed between sobs. "Did you find someone else to treat you?"

Lewis paused briefly, then reached out to touch her face, feeling somewhat helpless.

"I won't do that. Don't overthink it."

Josephine signed, "But you won't let me treat you."

A faint twitch appeared at the corner of Lewis' mouth. He suddenly found it difficult to explain.

Josephine had decided to treat him as long as he was in pain.

Lewis' silence only made her feel more heartbroken. Tears flowed down her cheeks like scattered beads.

Lewis felt a headache creeping up on him. He caressed her cheek and whispered, "Don't cry. Be good."

Josephine bit her lip to stop herself from crying, but tears continued to stream down.

Lewis had just gone out with Sierra. Maybe he had already let Sierra treat him and didn't need her anymore.

Now that she was not needed, Lewis could discard her at any time.

Once again, Lewis fell silent. He didn't know how to respond to Josephine.

After some time, he sighed in resignation and said, "Go lock the door."

Josephine blinked, her tear-filled eyes fixed on him, not understanding why he wanted to lock the door.

He cupped her face and used his fingers to wipe away the tears before whispering, "We can't let anyone see us."

Josephine bit her lip and signed, asking why they shouldn't let anyone see them.

Lewis answered earnestly, "If someone sees us, it won't work."

Josephine widened her eyes and believed his words. She nodded eagerly and quickly got off the bed, rushing to lock the door before returning to sit on his lap.

She then bowed her head to undo his belt in a hurry.

Her anxious and flustered demeanor, coupled with the innocence and sincerity displayed on her face, would make anyone believe that she was craving for him.

Feeling somewhat anxious, Josephine struggled to undo his belt.

Leaning against the headboard, Lewis closed his eyes and massaged his temples, not showing much enthusiasm.

Josephine couldn't undo it. Out of frustration, she grabbed the belt and pulled it forcefully.

Lewis held her waist and flipped her over so she was beneath him. He firmly held her flailing hands and pressed them against the top of her head.

"It's okay. I'm not in pain anymore."

Josephine opened her eyes wide and stared at him as if trying to judge whether Lewis was telling the truth.

At that moment, a doctor knocked on the door from outside.

The doctor was puzzled, wondering why someone would lock the door for no reason.

Lewis let go of Josephine and said, "Go open the door."

Josephine glanced at him several times, but the urgent knocking at the door diverted her attention. She got off the bed and went to open the door.

"Mr. Alvarez ..." The doctor was about to speak but was shocked to see Josephine's messy hair. He subconsciously gulped.

Lewis sat calmly on the bed as if nothing had happened.

The doctor's mind connected the dots. Recalling the locked door incident, he silently cursed Lewis for being an animal.

It had only been two days, and he couldn't control himself.

Lewis showed no expression toward the doctor's unpredictable face and asked, "What's the matter?"

The doctor smiled patiently and said, "Mr. Alvarez, we must take an X-ray to see how your ribs are healing. If there's no displacement, we won't need to immobilize them."

Lewis initially wanted to refuse, but he glanced at Josephine, watching intently beside him, and hummed in agreement.

He chose to cooperate with the doctor.

After subduing the bodyguards, the intruders swiftly rushed toward the ward.

The other bodyguards noticed the situation and surrounded them, and a violent brawl broke out between the two sides.

Inside the ward, Kiran heard the commotion, and his gaze flickered. He said to the nurse beside him, "Go out and see what's happening."

The nurse nodded and opened the door to take a look. She saw the bodyguards and the intruders fighting in the corridor.

The intruders seemed to be skilled fighters and were armed with dangerous weapons. After several clashes, a few bodyguards collapsed, and the pristine white floor and walls were stained with fresh blood.

The nurse had never seen such a scene before and quickly returned to the ward. "Oh, no! A fight broke out!"

Kiran's expression changed slightly. He thought it was unbelievable. "Is he that bold?"

Panicking, the nurse was on the verge of tears.

Kiran tried to get up, but his injuries were too severe. After a couple of attempts, he fell back onto the bed.

He immediately pressed the call button at the bedside.

Medical staff rushed in at once, but upon seeing the scene, they were also terrified. They quickly scattered to call the police and notify the security guards.

Meanwhile, the intruders were gradually losing stamina under the bodyguards' attack. As more people arrived, they made a decisive move and abandoned the bodyguards, fleeing the scene.

"Chase them!"

The bodyguards wouldn't let them escape easily. They contacted reinforcements to ensure the culprits were captured.

Lewis would fall into Kiran's trap if they discovered who sent them.

After being mobbed by the bodyguards and hospital security, the intruders ran around like headless flies, causing panic and chaos. People in the hospital scattered and fled, leaving behind a trail of screams.

Two intruders were caught by the bodyguards and pinned to the ground.

The others managed to escape the hospital and got into a black car on the roadside, speeding away in the pouring rain.

After the car had driven a distance, the person in the passenger seat took out their phone to report the situation.

Upon hearing their report, Conrad couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He scolded through the phone, "Are you all idiots? How did you get caught?"

It was a disaster. If Lewis found out, he would definitely twist their heads off.
