What Separates Me and You

Chapter 184 Was This How She Begged You

Lewis clasped Josephine’s hand again and slowly said, “Come with me. We’ll get the divorce certificate

after your wounds are healed.”

Josephine slowly looked up after hearing this.

“Can we go now?”

Josephine lowered her eyes again and stared at her toes.

Lewis brought her to the car and helped her fasten her seat belts. Then, he went to the driver’s seat

and drove out of the mansion’s compound.

When they arrived back at Styx Mansion, Lewis brought out the first aid kit and cleaned Josephine’s

hands of the blood stains with the disinfectant.

Josephine sat motionless on the sofa, permitting Lewis’ actions.

He was very gentle, but Josephine still cringed when the alcohol touched the wounds on her fingertips.

“Stay still. Bear with me,” said Lewis as he held her hand steadfastly. Although he tried his best to be

careful when disinfecting her wounds, Josephine would still tremble whenever the alcohol came in

contact with them.

She could remember clearly the anguish she felt when the needle penetrated her fingertips.

She couldn’t put the pain into words, but she felt she could understand why their forefathers. would

think the fingers are connected to the heart.

As enraged as Lewis had been, he had never treated her this way.

The most brutal act Lewis did to her was merely locking her up.

After Lewis cleaned her hands, he observed three of her fingernails were red with an easily discerned

thin line of blood running through the middle.

He had a dangerous glint in his eyes that quickly disappeared.

After he finished applying medication to Josephine’s wounds, she was again covered in sweat, and her

face was as pale as chalk

“It’s done.”

Josephine kept her head lowered all the time. When she heard him, she quietly withdrew her hand.

Lewis raised his hand to touch her face, but she turned her head slightly and dodged his hand.

Without a word, Lewis stared fixedly at her for several moments before putting his han

down. He rose and said, “Have a good rest.”

With that, he promptly left, closing the door after him-locking it behind him, to be more precise.

Josephine’s eyelids fluttered. Only now did she lift her head to look at the door. The door had closed off

any remnants of light within.

With the depressing weather outside, the light that entered the room was minimal, even with the large

window.

Josephine looked at her fingers. Her little finger, index finger, and middle finger were bandaged.

A streak of white ripped the sky, and clamoring thunder came right after. Following an ear- splitting

rumble, it started pouring, accompanied by the howling wind.

The gale battered at the willow tree in the lawn, breaking off a few branches.

Josephine curled up on the sofa, hugging her knees tightly, her eyes staring blankly at the potted plant

in a corner.

Amidst the heavy rain, several hunks flung Mrs. Harrold to the muddy ground. Rain soaked her

thoroughly, and her hair was in an utter mess. Under the ferocious rain, she couldn’t even. orientate

herself.

However, she frantically scrambled up from the ground and tried to look for a way to escape.

She was out on an errand when someone captured her and brought her here, wherever it was.

Her surroundings were a blur in the torrent. She could only hear dogs barking against the rain.

“W-Who are you?” Mrs. Harrold staggered-either due to an unknown wound or the heavy rain pounding

on her, the weight was too heavy for her to bear.

Swaying, she walked a few steps before crashing to the ground again.

The hunks didn’t reply to her. They stood like statues in the rain as the rain poured on them.

Mrs. Harrold was terrified. She stumbled and crawled, trying to find a way out, but when she fell again,

a pair of leather shoes appeared before her eyes.

Muddy water stained those shoes.

Mrs. Harrold squinted as she looked up-it was Lewis. Phineas held the umbrella for him as his

condescending eyes were fixated on Mrs. Harrold, his face void of emotions.

Mrs. Harrold was startled. She bent her body lower and fervently begged for mercy. “Master Lewis, it’s

all my fault, I merely followed Mrs. Alvarez’s orders and didn’t do it out of my own will. Please forgive

me, Master Lewis. I won’t repeat my mistake.” Getting no response from Lewis, she grabbed his leg

and continued, “I’m just a lowly mald. I did it favoluntarily, I can’t

門

Mrs. Harrold had everything going her way while she worked for Nancy all these years Roery maid in

the household sucked up to her, and even outsiders respected her when she was

and about.

It never crossed her mind she would end up like this, less so Lewis having the nerve to abduct her in

broad daylight.

Mrs. Harrold’s pleas rang loud and clear in the smattering rain, but Lewis seemed to nothing. His face

remained emotionless as he stood there while she begged.

After a while, Mrs. Harrold heard a cold voice above her saying, “Was this how she begged you, too?”

Mrs. Harrold was stunned, the panic on her face more evident than before. She shook he frantically as

she answered, “No! No, Madam didn’t-

Lewis interrupted her. “Of course not! She can’t even speak, let alone beg!” He abruptly raised his leg

and kicked her, toppling her over. He pressed his mud-stained shoe against her face He looked down

at her and questioned, “Who are you to lay a finger on my belonging”

“M-Master Lewis…” Mrs. Harrold uttered with difficulty. The pressure on her face increased, forcing her

to swallow her remaining words.

“Do I look amiable to you?”

Phineas held his breath.

Lewis continued regardless, “Why is everyone trying to walk over me? Him the prompthe laughed and

continued, “Well, two can play that game.”

Although Lewis was speaking to Mrs. Harrold, Phineas felt those words were intended tog

someone else.

Lewis withdrew his leg and turned toward Phineas.

Phineas immediately stood upright, awaiting his orders.

“Her love for needles is apparent. Rip out her tongue and entertain her

Mrs. Harrold’s pupils contracted. Ignoring the pain on her cheek, she crawled forward and grabbed

Lewis’ trousers.

Before she could do so, Phineas kicked her aside.

After Lewis walked off in the rain, Phineas called over the bodyguards to hold Al Harro down and rip

out her tongue.

In the car, Lewis lit a cigarette.

Chapter 184 Was This How She Begged You.

The click of the lighter was coincidentally in sync with the shriek from behind.

But the rumbles from above covered them both.

Rainy days were the best accomplice in committing a misdeed.

Mrs. Harrold lost her tongue. Blood smeared the ground, but the rain washed it all off in seconds.

Without her tongue, her life force was half drained. Her eyes’ whites showed as she gaped, blood

streaming continuously from her mouth.

Two men dragged her to a pit.

Mrs. Harrold steadied her gaze and saw needles and nails covering the bottom of the pit, leaving barely

any space left.

She had only a faint breath left when she saw the scene before her. Her eyes widened. She let out a

series of undiscernible words as she flailed. No one knew what she said, but the blood streaming from

her mouth flowed more aggressively with every shout.

The bodyguards paid no heed to her struggles and hurled her down.

“Argh-“Another shriek pierced the rain, and the thunder drowned it again. The shrieks seemed

negligible in comparison with the rumbles overhead.
