Lysander didn’t respond.

ther stance, Josiali did not cut speaking

“Thank you for today”

“You’re welcome. Based an the hospital’s rates, the cost for such a large–scale wound cleaning and dressing would be one hundred and fifty.”

Josiale’s brow slightly relaxed. “That’s pretty cheap!

“I won’t charge you extra.”

“Thought it was cheaper for a nurse. You are, after all, a chief doctor. Isn’t a specialist’s appointment more expensive than a regular one?”

Lysander took a deep breath and said, “Firstly, the hospital charges for dressing and cleaning wounds are based on the number of times, not on whether the service is provided by a specialist or a regular nurse. Secondly, I am a gynecologist, not a burn specialist. The titles of the two departments cannot be compared.”

Josiah gave a subtle nod and pulled out his phone. “Can I do a transfer?”

“Sure.”

Josiah quickly transferred the money. “Done.”

Lysander glanced at her phone.

Josiah gazed at her profile. Perhaps due to the recent events, she had lost a considerable amount of weight. Shadows of fatigue lingered under her eyes, indicating she hadn’t been getting enough rest

“Lysander, don’t go to the hospital today. I’ll get-

The smile on Josiah’s face subtly stiffened. He then let out a sigh.

When Lysander had asked him for the medical fee earlier, he had found it odd. Given Lysander’s character, it was unlike her to fuss over such a small amount of money.

However, he felt that having some sort of connection with her was a good thing.

Little did he expect Lysander’s plan from the very beginning to settle accounts between them.

Another sum of money had been transferred. This time it was five hundred.

Lysander said, “I’m not sure how much the meal from the hotel costs, But considering the caliber of the hotel, it’s likely not cheap. I transferred you five hundred, and if it’s not enough, I’ll transfer more.”

Josiah held his phone, a self–mocking smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. “It’s just a meal. It doesn’t cost five hundred.”

Then consider it the transportation expenses for the past couple of days? Does it seem a bit too little? Should I add more?”

“Must you do this?”

Lysander sofily replied, “Mm.”

“Lysander, is it just me you’re so heartless toward? You’re kind to Daphne and Priscilla, and even to Zachary previously. Am I the only one? I made one mistake, and now I’m not given a single chance? Zachary deceived you and even used you, yet you can still speak to him calmly. Why is it only me who you treat with such cold indifference? I’d genuinely prefer if you could have a proper argument with me for

once.”

Lysander quietly looked at him. “You’ve misunderstood.”

“What did I misunderstand? You’re not kind to Daphne and Priscilla? Or you’re also cold to Zachary? And what about Adrian?” Josiah felt a bit frustrated when it came to this matter. “He encouraged you to go to Stounia, didn’t he?”

“What I mean is, I tend to be cold toward anyone I don’t want to get too involved with.”

Josiah chuckled. “Is that so?”

“I met with Zachary and we even managed to hold a conversation, purely out of respect for our elders. His mother, Mdm. Camila, has been my mom’s best friend for decades. You should know this.”

“Yes, I know, and it confuses me. You can consider everyone else; you helped Priscilla get through her divorce, and you pulled Daphne back from the brink of suicide, but why not me? Lysander, I know I made a mistake, and I want to change. I just hope for a chance to properly apologize to you. Is that too much to ask?”

Lysander lifted her gaze to him. “You’ve apologized countless times already.”

“Yeah, but you still haven’t forgiven me.”

“I have,” Lysander said. “If you ended up marrying Lysanne, I would still be happy for you!”

Suddenly. Josiah stood up. “Lysander, don’t talk out of anger.”

”

Lysander shook her head. “I’m not just talking out of anger; I’m serious. I’ve thought about it. You grew up together with her. The bond you’ve forged over more than twenty years is indeed precious.”

“But you already know now. The only reason I was close with her initially was because I was unaware of your past disappearance. I treated her as if she was-”

She glanced at the incoming call display, then took her phone to the balcony. “Sorry, I need to take this call.

“Hello?”

“Lysa, it’s Dad.”

It was Howard.

Lysander pondered for a moment. “Did something happen at the hospital?”

“No, no, your mom is doing quite well. Ever since you arrived, her worries have been alleviated. She’s now actively cooperating with the doctor’s treatment.”

“So, why did you call?”

“Well, I just wanted to ask, where are you living now?”

“Why do you ask?”

“I don’t have any ulterior motives, so don’t worry. I completely understand that you don’t want your foster parents to know about this matter because you’re afraid it might upset them. Rest assured, without your permission, I won’t recklessly go and visit them.”

Lysander said, “Just speak your mind.”

Howard heaved a sigh. “You and Josiah… haven’t made up yet, have you? Staying at the Guerra family’s old house might not be the best idea at the moment. And I guess you wouldn’t want to go back to your foster parents‘ house either. Why don’t you stay at the Thorne manor? It’s just next door to the Guerra family’s old house.”

“No.”

“Do you still not want to acknowledge us?”

Lysander sighed. “I simply don’t want to limes

Josiah chuckled. “Are you bothered by my relationship with her?”

“I’ve said it before, I’m not. In fact, I’d be quite pleased if you two could get married. After all, Howard and Molly raised Lysanne as if she were their own daughter. They’ve always hoped that you’d take care of her for the rest of her life.”

Josiah furrowed his brows. “I can take care of her, but the condition is, I want to be with you. Regardless of our childhood promises, or for the sake of our child who hasn’t yet come into this world, I want a fresh start. As for Lysanne, I will care for her within my means, but that doesn’t mean I have to marry her.”

Suddenly, Lysander’s phone rang.
