What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139 I’ve Seen It All 

Meanwhile, Seth had also opened his eyes and was grinning broadly at her. 

Josephine was lying on the ground, her appearance disheveled. She pursed her lips and silently retreated before sitting down obediently by Seth’s side. 

Seth continued staring at her for a while, smiled, and closed his 

eyes. 

Josephine sat silently beside him, her gaze fixed upon the rope encircling her ankles. The rope was noticeably thin, scarcely thicker than a shoelace. 

Try as she might, she couldn’t undo the knot that held the rope together. 

Despite her relentless efforts, Josephine couldn’t make any headway after struggling for hours. Drained and weary, she leaned weakly against the tree trunk. 

She soon gave up trying and eventually fell asleep. 

Upon waking up, she realized she was already inside the car. Lifting her head, she caught sight of Seth by her side. He was still clad in his tuxedo, with tousled hair obscuring half of his face. Josephine couldn’t discern his expression from where she sat. 

She sat up and looked out the window. 

It was raining heavily again. The outside world became a hazy blur as the rain relentlessly pounded against the car window. Josephine anxiously bit her lip-she no longer knew where they were. 

Without making a sound, she looked away. 

Meanwhile, Lewis went to visit Daphne. 

“Lewis!” Daphne cried out to him with great excitement upon catching sight of him. She was eager to run to him, but he stopped her. 

Lewis gestured for her to sit. Having calmed herself down slightly, Daphne proceeded to sit across from him. 

Daphne’s face was visibly haggard, her eyes dull and vacant, but there was still a glimmer of hope within them as she spoke. 

“Lewis, Seth-” 

“He’s gone,” Lewis replied calmly. 

Daphne’s shoulders slumped in a moment’s weakness. “He’s…gone?” 

“Yes.” 

Her already pallid face paled even further. “What…What about Bambam?” 

“He’s still at the Alvarez residence.” 

Daphne’s tears trickled down her cheeks, but she hurriedly wiped them away. Even though 

she’d mentally braced herself for this upon reading the documents, her heart still shattered when she heard the news from Lewis firsthand. 

“Does he…Does he really not want Bambam anymore?” 

Lewis gazed at her with unwavering eyes, his response already evident on his face. 

Daphne’s gaze fixated on the tabletop, seemingly lost in deep thought. Then, she lifted her head and looked at Lewis, as if a realization had just dawned upon her. 

“Lewis, can I…can I still get out of this?” 

“Yes.” 

The mere utterance of that single word was enough to soothe her anxious heart. 

“So, when the trial starts, what…what should I say?” 

“Don’t worry. There will be a lawyer.” 

“Oh…” 

Daphne’s mouth opened, as if she intended to say something more, but Lewis abruptly stood up. “I have to go. Take care of yourself.” 

She could only close her mouth and watch him leave, her gaze burning. 

Lewis took a few steps, then paused. He glanced over his shoulder, catching a glimpse of Daphne’s back as she turned away from him. 

A flicker of something passed through his eyes before it vanished, and his expression reverted to its normal state. He then left without another glance. 

Conrad had driven over to pick him up. He held an umbrella over Lewis’ head as he greeted, President Alvarez.” 

“Did you find them?” Lewis asked, his voice flat and almost inaudible against the sound of the heavy rain. 

“No, not yet, but they shouldn’t have left Elysium yet,” Conrad stuttered. 

Lewis remained silent as he walked toward the Bentley. Conrad rushed forward to close the car door. 

In the car, Lewis sat and looked out at the pouring rain. Rainfall blanketed the entire city, but 

eyes were captivated by the rivulets of water running down the window.

Meanwhile, Seth was accompanied by Josephine in the car, their vehicle meandering and undulating for an indefinite length of time. 

2:15 

As the rain let up a little, Seth brought the car to a stop by the roadside and released his 

seatbelt. “Get out.” 

Josephine bit her lip. She didn’t want to get out of the car. 

Seth did not give her a choice. He walked over to her side, opened the car door, and dragged 

her out. 

The rain was still falling, and neither of them had an umbrella. Not long after, they were completely soaked. 

Seth dragged Josephine forward, and she stumbled along behind him. Hurriedly, she raised her head and glanced at her surroundings. They seemed to be at a homestead. 

As soon as they entered through the gate, they found themselves in a large yard where a variety of vegetables grew wildly. Subsequently, the buildings were all two-storeyed and made 

from wood. 

There was no sign of anyone in a homestead of that size. In fact, it was so quiet that it was unsettling. 

Seth dragged her along until they arrived in a bedroom. 

He pushed Josephine onto the ground before immediately opening the closet and retrieving a 

set of clothes. 

Josephine watched him from the ground, and her eyes widened. He was actually changing right in front of her! 

She swiftly looked away, her gaze fixed on the firmly closed door-the idea of escaping again 

crossed her mind. 

As she attempted to recollect the path they had traversed to arrive there, she was met with one mountainous terrain after another. Even if she managed to flee from the homestead, there was no way she could escape the treacherous terrain alone. 

So, she abandoned that thought and sat on the ground, quietly waiting for him to finish 

changing. 

After a while, Seth finished changing and crouched in front of her. 

Josephine raised her eyes to look at him and was surprised to find that he had shed his tuxedo in favor of a white suit. Coupled with his striking appearance, he resembled nothing short of a Prince Charming straight out of a fairy tale. 

Seth’s wet locks hung on either side of his face, framing his features. His smile wrought a subtle change upon his visage, lending him a delicate and ethereal beauty. 

Josephine averted her gaze wordlessly, her fingers digging into her palms and her heart thudding violently.
