What Separates Me and You
Chapter 469 Don't Let Yourself Suffer Because Of Him

Yona remained rooted to the spot for a long while. She only came back to her senses after Josephine had left.

She had had many assistants, but this was the first time she had an assistant like Josephine. In the past, she was the one bullying others. Yet, this time, she was working herself into a fit all because of Josephine.

That made Yona feel like she had lost all footing in the company. She was an influencer with thousands of fans, so why was she treated like this? As such, she immediately pulled out her phone to report this matter to Albert.

Albert couldn't care less about her problems. He simply told her she could change assistants if she weren't happy with Josephine. Albert's nonchalance only made Yona angrier.

Based on Josephine's attitude, it was clear she wasn't afraid to lose her job, so what was the point in firing her? Moreover, it was even more difficult for Yona to make Josephine's life miserable if Josephine didn't mind getting fired.

Josephine didn't care how Yona would go home or settle her meals. She went to the parking lot, where Conrad was already waiting.

This time, besides the herbal concoction, there was also a food container.

Josephine took the boxes from Conrad and got into the car to avoid being seen by anyone else.

She closed the door, took a few bites of the food, and finished her medicine before finally getting out of the car.

Conrad smiled as he asked, "Madam, how was work today?"

He was still under the impression that Josephine was the mute woman from before who couldn't live on her own.

There was a pause before Josephine turned and replied, "It's alright."

Conrad could sense the frost in her tone. His heart clenched, but he maintained his smile and replied, "That's good to hear."

Josephine ignored him and went back to the filming site.

Today, they were filming in a new location-a picturesque garden. When Josephine arrived, she realized that no one else had come yet. Yona was also nowhere to be found.

Work only started at 2:00 pm. It was only a little over 12:30 pm now. As such, she pulled out her phone to search for the distance between her current location and the hospital.

In the end, she asked one of the security guards nearby to send her to the hospital to visit Avery. After all, she hadn't been there to see her in two days.

Avery was recovering well. Even though she still had her cast on, she looked much better. She could even go to the bathroom alone with minimal assistance from the nurse.

Avery's expression brightened when she saw Josephine. She exclaimed in delight, "Josie!"

Avery tried to get off her bed to walk toward Josephine, but Josephine rushed to help her back onto the bed.

"Don't move around like that!" Josephine chided.

Avery flashed her a brilliant smile and motioned for Josephine to sit beside her. "Oh, there's no need to fret. I feel much better already! Don't worry. I can be discharged from the hospital soon!"

Seeing how energetic Avery was made Josephine smile. Josephine said, "I'm so glad to see that you're recovering well!"

Avery still couldn't move both of her arms. She studied Josephine's appearance before letting out an exaggerated sigh.

"You've gotten skinnier," Avery lamented.

Josephine was surprised and raised a hand to touch her cheeks. "It's only been two days. How can you tell that I've gotten skinnier?"

Avery nodded. "I think you've lost weight. You have to eat well, don't starve yourself. Make sure you take care of your own body. As for that bastard, he can do whatever he wants but don't let yourself suffer because of him."

Josephine fell silent at that.

Avery thought her silence meant she was unhappy because of Lewis, and she chided her again.

Halfway through Avery's scoldings, Josephine finally came back to her senses. Josephine flashed a light smile before she said, "Okay, I get it." "You..." Avery started but realized she didn't know what to say either.

Suddenly, from Avery's peripheral vision, she spotted the faint silhouette of a man outside. Avery's eyes widened as she said, "I think I just saw that bastard."

Josephine turned to look in confusion but didn't see anything.

She suddenly remembered that Sierra was also still in the hospital. So if Avery really saw Lewis, he was probably here to see Sierra.

"Alright, let's not think too much about it. I might've mistaken someone else for him," Avery began, trying to change the conversation.

"I also saw Quintin yesterday. How did you end up getting engaged to someone like him in the first place?" Avery asked before continuing in disgust, "He is such a cowardly man."

The biggest mystery to Avery was how Josephine would be interested in someone like Quintin in the first place.

Josephine also only just remembered that Quintin was here. She had dropped by to see him last time, but he was still unconscious at that time. "How is he?" Josephine asked.

"He's fine. Better than me, at least. He had the nerve to blame me for his current state. He was the one who insisted on getting into the car with me back then," Avery grumbled before she added offhandedly, "Men are shit."

Josephine held Avery's hand as she said guiltily, "I'm sorry. I got all of you in trouble."

Avery shook her head and said, "Don't say that. We're friends, after all!"

Josephine could feel tears welling up in her eyes. She maintained her smile and squeezed Avery's fingers just a bit tighter.

She had never expected to meet friends like Avery and Quintin, who were willing to risk their lives for her. Josephine had always thought she would have to live in Lewis' shadow for the rest of her life, so she was extremely grateful to have met them.

In another room in the hospital, Sierra was subdued by multiple doctors. The fruit knife she had been holding had been snatched from her hands and tossed onto a nearby table.

That was the scene that greeted Lewis when he entered Sierra's hospital room.

Sierra had been struggling against the doctors. When she saw Lewis at her door, she fell silent and turned her head to the side, unwilling to let Lewis see her face.

The doctors let out a breath of relief at Lewis' arrival. "Mr. Alvarez, could you please talk some sense into Ms. Woods?"

Today was the day that Sierra got her stitches removed, and she had insisted on looking at herself in the mirror.

After her stitches had been removed, she looked quite calm and hadn't reacted much. So, the doctors assumed she had finally accepted that she would be disfigured for the rest of her life.

However, once everyone had left, she rolled off the bed and grabbed a nearby fruit knife in an attempt to take her own life.

Thankfully, her mother had entered before she could do anything. Her mother had tried to stop her. Sierra accidentally slashed her mother's palm amidst the chaos.

Droplets of blood splattered on the floor, but the blood wasn't Sierra's but her mother's. Her mother's palm had a deep gash and was oozing blood onto the hospital floor and Sierra's hospital gown.

Lewis's arrival brought a sense of peace amid the chaos. Sierra's mother held her palm to her chest, sobbing on the floor. Meanwhile, Sierra had her face turned away, tears flowing from her cheeks.

"Can everyone get out please?" Lewis asked lowly.

The doctors looked at each other uncertainly. A nurse came by to help Sierra's mother to her feet and got her hand bandaged outside.

Eventually, everyone slowly left the room and closed the door.

Lewis approached Sierra. As his footsteps reached her ears, Sierra pressed her face against the ground and implored, "Don't come near me." Her voice, hoarse and imploring, was as soft as a whisper.
