Chapter 356 Do Not Call Again

Luckily, this was Stounia.

Lysander had been speaking in Ecronese, which nobody around them could comprehend. Only Lysanne was left huffing, her chest heaving, with her face and neck flushing red.

“You won’t be able to take away even one of those.”

Lysander turned around and asked, “What did you say?”

“I’m telling you,” Lysanne emphasized, word by word, “Don’t even think about taking my parents or Josiah away from me.”

Lysander nodded. “Oh, I see.”

Suddenly, there was the pinging sound of a phone notification.

Lysanne instantly became alert. “What was that noise?”

Lysander casually pulled out her phone from her white coat, deliberately waving it in front of her. “Oh dear, I must have accidentally turned on the recording feature at some point.”

The color visibly drained from Lysanne’s face. “You… you’re going to tell Josiah?”

“Let’s make a deal,” Lysander proposed.

Lysanne cautiously asked, “What kind of deal?”

“Of course, it’s this recording”

“What else do you want!”

“I want Josiah…”

Lysanne suddenly burst into laughter and mocked, “I thought you were above it all, but it turns out you’re just like everyone else, doing all this for a man…”

Lysander spoke solemnly. “I want Josiah to stay as far away from me as possible, preferably out of my life forever. You should try your best to make him fall for you so that he’ll go back to our home country with you. If that happens, I’ll permanently destroy this recording. I’ll also cut off all contact with your parents. Your mother’s health isn’t good, and your father needs to take care of her. They won’t be able to travel all the way to Stounia. As long as I don’t reach out to them, you won’t have to worry about the Thorne family’s fortune falling into my hands.”

Lysanne was somewhat skeptical. “Are you serious?”

“Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

Upon returning to her office, Lysander glanced at her phone.

The alert that had gone off earlier was actually a text message.

Josiah: Why aren’t you responding to my WhatsApp message

Lysander chuckled lightly.

Surprisingly, he had even saved his own number, and it directly displayed the name “Josiah.”

She replied: I’m busy.

Soon, another message from him arrived: When will you be done with your work?

Lysander: I don’t know.

Josiah: Anything in particular you want to eat? I’ll come pick you up once you’re done with your work.

Lysander: No.

Seemingly dissatisfied with her perfunctory response, Josiah directly called her.

The moment her phone rang, Lysander immediately hung up.

Lysander: I told you I’m busy, so don’t call me. If you call again, il block you.

As expected, these words were indeed effective.

Finally, there was no more activity from Josiah.

The Stounian male doctor came over to inquire about the situation. Lysander relayed the young couple’s request to him. The doctor pondered for a moment, seemingly a bit troubled.

“Lysander, are you confident about this? I’ve seen your resume, and you have extensive clinical experience. If you believe you’re ready, I can make an exception to waive the three–month internship period for you…”

“No need. Let’s just follow the hospital’s rules and regulations.”

The male doctor seemed a bit surprised, yet he still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, a smile playing on his lips. “I had assumed, since you two are compatriots, that you would take on this pregnant

woman.

With a polite smile, Lysander responded, “There are numerous hospitals and obstetricians in Stounia. If they wish to transfer, let them. I’ve just arrived and am still not too familiar with everything. Even if the safety of the pregnant woman and the baby are at stake, I wouldn’t take the case.”

The male doctor nodded. “All right, I get what you’re saying. I’ll go and talk to them this afternoon.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“Right, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Eric Boyle.”

“Hello, Eric.”

Eric squinted slightly and asked, “Lysander, are you Adrian’s girlfriend? He and I were schoolmates. He specifically mentioned you to me, hoping that I could look out for you more.
