What Separates Me and You

Chapter 226 She Owned Nothing

Smoking a cigarette, Lewis’ gaze fell on the leaf-strewn pedestrian walkway outside the windscreen.

He hadn’t spoken for a long time.

Sierra waited until he finished the cigarette before hearing him say, “Do you still want to go to the

hospital?”

Sierra paused and looked at the wounds on her hands. The blood had stopped flowing, but the wounds

looked gory. Moodily, she said, “Of course. Look at the bites. I should at least get the

rabies vaccination done.”

After she said that, Lewis cast her a meaningful glance.

Sierra pursed her lips, fearless. She knew to which extent Lewis could tolerate, and that was

her merit.

Women needed to know how to keep men wanting more, especially men like Lewis, who had

encountered women of different temperaments.

Being mischievous once in a while worked well to stir their interest. As long as they stayed within the

boundaries, it would stop men from getting bored too soon.

Lewis discarded the cigarette butt out the window and started the car to bring Sierra to the

hospital.

The doctor shot Sierra a peculiar look when she insisted on taking the rabies vaccination jab. He said,

“This doesn’t look like the bite mark of an animal.”

Sierra said, “Is there a difference? Will I not get infected if someone with rabies bit me?”

“Um… there’s a small possibility,” replied the doctor. He continued, “But I can give you the injection if

you insist.”

“Get it done, then. I’ll feel more at peace.”

After they left, Josephine tidied the mess the puppies caused and cleaned the excrement at the

doorway.

She picked up the remains of the divorce certificate on the floor and glued them back. Sitting on the

sofa, she gently ran her fingers over the cracks on it.

The entire certificate was fragmented, but Lewis’ name remained intact, staring coldly at her like his icy

eyes.

Even his signature looked as stoic as its owner.

Josephine placed the divorce certificate on the table and caught the puppies running around

her feet. She returned them to the cage and was about to leave the mansion with it when Phineas

arrived with a doctor.

He saw Josephine heading for the door with the cage and immediately asked, “Madam, where are you

going?”

Josephine stared at him for a few seconds before pulling out her phone to type, but Phineas continued,

“Madam, please spare us some time. You still have several rabies vaccination jabs to take.”

Josephine was stunned. She looked at Phineas.

She recalled Sierra’s comment about her being a dog. It was only several minutes ago, but the doctor

was already here to vaccinate her.

Did Lewis… think of her as a dog too?

Josephine’s eyes reddened. She fixed her stare on the two men blocking the doorway. They looked as

though they wouldn’t leave without giving her the injection.

She was motionless for a moment. Then, she put down the cage and nodded.

The doctor instantly asked her to sit on the sofa while he pulled out the rabies vaccination jab from his

bag. He rolled up her sleeve and gave her an injection in her arm.

The pain pierced her heart. She thought her heart would convulse, but then she quickly consoled

herself. They were divorced now. She was nothing to Lewis anymore.

Human or dog, he could think of her however he wanted.

After the injection, Phineas said, “That’s all, madam. Are you bringing the puppies for vaccination? You

don’t have to, though. They are vaccinated.”

Josephine said nothing.

Phineas wasn’t expecting any communication with her, anyway. He left with the doctor.

Josephine waited for them to leave before she also left with the puppies.

Carrying the cage, she shut the door behind her and followed wherever the pedestrian walkway led her.

She didn’t know where she was going or could go. The world was unprecedentedly strange to her.

Besides the puppies, she owned nothing.

She brought the puppies purely because she thought Lewis would never rear such pets, so they were

definitely hers. And it was also the only thing she could bring.

Josephine’s legs were still wounded, and she couldn’t walk far. She had to look for a place to sit once

in a while.

Pausing now and then, she walked the entire afternoon.

She arrived at a crowded park. It was just after school hours, and parents brought their

children to the playground here.

Josephine spotted a vacant swing. She rested the cage on the ground and sat on the swing, looking at

the cloudy sky.

Two girls approached her and squatted beside the cage. They extended out their fingers to play with

the puppies. “Miss, are these your puppies?”

Upon hearing this, Josephine looked at the girls.

They had pigtails on their heads and wore red wool jackets. They looked alike-twins and were around

the age of four.

Josephine was dazed when she saw their adorable faces.

“Miss, can we play with them?”

Josephine stared at them passionately. Forcing a smile, she nodded.

The girls cheered and opened the cage. Then, they brought out the puppies, each carrying one. They

hugged the puppies and caressed their heads. When they smiled, Josephine noticed their front teeth

were missing.
