Daphne muttered. “Private jet… Who owns a private jet? The Sutton family! Would the Sutton family have one? I’ll call Aiden right now!”

Beep Beep

“Hello? Ms. Everhart?”

The call connected, but the other end was filled with a cacophony of voices. The sounds were chaotic, and faint strains of a song could be heard.

Daphne sounded slightly panicky. “Aiden, does your family own a private jet?”

“What? A water jet?”

Daphne’s teeth chattered in anxiety. “I’m asking if your family owns a private jet!”

“A jet? No. What’s the matter? Are you planning a vacation?” He seemed to have covered the receiver while whispering to the person on the other end of the line, “Very soon, very soon…

“Vacation, my foot! Where are you now?”

“Josiah is playing the host. We’re out singing karaoke. Are you joining?

“Josiah?”

That’s right.” Aiden said. “You better not come. Josiah has been quite irritable lately. If you two meet, you’ll likely turn the karaoke bar upside down. They’re calling me to sing now, so I’ll hang up if there’s nothing else.”

“Wait, Aiden! Aiden!”

The next second, all Daphne could hear was the busy tone on the line.

She was so infuriated that she almost threw her phone away.

In the ICU not far away, Delores was covered in tubes. Through a pane of transparent glass, Lysander glanced at the readings on the monitoring equipment, her heart sinking further.

Rufus was urgently speaking with the nurse. Although the actual words couldn’t be made out, one could see an apologetic expression on the nurse’s face as she continuously shook her head.

After some contemplation, Lysander made a phone call.

Daphne saw it and snatched her phone away in an instant. “Who are you calling? Don’t plead with Josiah on my behalf.”

Lysander said, “I’m just calling to ask if my parents have any connections.”

Daphne was momentarily stunned but quickly caught on. “Your biological parents?”

“Yes.”

“Didn’t they say they already went to the nursing home in the mountains? Would they still have a

solution?”

Lysander shook her head. “I’m not really familiar with business matters either. Let me ask first.”

When she made the call, Howard swiftly answered the phone.

After hearing Lysander briefly describe Delores‘ situation, Howard didn’t Immediately refuse. He simply asked. “Do you need it right now?”

Upon hearing those words, Lysander was filled with joy. She nodded repeatedly, saying. “Yes,”

“Let me make some calls, then. I’ll get back to you.

Roughly ten minutes later, Howard called “Lysa, I’ve arranged for a private jet. I’ve also set up a driver waiting at the hospital entrance. You and Old Mrs. Everhart should get to the airport as soon as possible.”

Lysander activated the speakerphone. Daphne, at her side, instantly broke into uncontrollable sobs. Rufus” eyes welled up with tears as he expressed his gratitude.

Howard must have heard them. He comforted, “Now’s not the time for such discussions. Saving Old Mrs. Everhart’s life is what’s important.”

“Okay. All right.”

Daphne gratefully squeezed Lysander’s hand. “My dear friend. I’ll properly thank you when I return.”

Fortunately, Lysander had decent connections in the medical field, which came in handy when moving Delores into the ambulance. Daphne and Rufus hopped on as well. With the siren blaring, the ambulance sped off toward the airport.

Subsequently, Lysander returned to the hospital and helped fill in some pending forms for the hospital. transfer. While she was there, she also organized Delores‘ medical records and sent them to Daphne. She figured the records might come in handy abroad.

After she was done dealing with those matters, an hour had already passed.

Howard called again and inquired about the situation.

Lysander’s voice held an additional touch of gratitude as she spoke. “They’ve already left for the airport. Old Mrs. Everhart’s condition is really critical. I’m very thankful for your help this time.”

Howard said, “I just received a message that they’ve already taken off. The ground arrangements on the other side are all set. As soon as they land, they’ll be immediately transferred to the hospital for surgery. Try not to worry too much. I’ve met Old Mrs. Everhart before. She’s a fortunate person, and I’m sure she’ll be blessed with good luck.”

“Indeed. I hope Old Mrs. Everhart can pull through this time.” Lysander then asked, “Does the Thorne family own a private jet? You’ve never mentioned it before.””

Howard chuckled. “Your mother and I have been living in the nursing home for almost twenty years now. We rarely even ride in cars, let alone have any use for a private jet.”

“In that case-

“Don’t worry. I didn’t contact Josiah. It’s an old friend of mine, someone we’ve known for most of our lives. We’re very close. The moment I asked, she immediately agreed.”

Having her thoughts exposed, Lysander felt slightly embarrassed.

“Next time the opportunity arises, I’ll pay a visit to this old friend of yours. We owe her a great deal for her help this time.”

“Sure. We older folks have plenty of time, It’s mostly up to you. You’ve been running back and forth between Stounia and home recently. Not to mention, you’re always so busy. Plus, there’s the recent matter with Josiah. Lysa, I’ve come to realize that you’re someone who can make your own decisions. As an elder, I won’t pry into your affairs too much. Just remember one thing. Whatever decision you make, we will always support you.”

“Okay. I understand,” Lysander said.

This time, Howard had truly done her a huge favor. After some thought, Lysander realized that, both emotionally and logically, she couldn’t afford to be overly aloof.

In the afternoon, she purchased some daily necessities and went to visit Molly.

The sickbed was elevated slightly. Although Molly still seemed weak and listless, her condition had evidently improved. At the very least, she was now able to recline against the head of the bed.

Howard was peeling an apple when he saw Lysander approaching. He quickly stood up. “Why did you

come over?”

Lysander placed the items she had purchased into the cupboard and said, “I remembered that the wet wipes and toilet paper are almost depleted, so I went out and bought some more to bring over.”

Molly was currently unable to care for herself, and in many instances, she had to rely on wet wipes and toilet paper. Hence, such consumables were being used up at a significant rate.

The hospital’s cabinet was rather small, limiting the amount of supplies that could be purchased at once. Therefore, frequent restocking was necessary.

When she stayed there to keep Molly company, Josiah was mainly in charge of restocking.

Now that she had severed ties with Josiah, she had to handle that matter personally.

Howard said, “Don’t worry too much about the private jet issue. We’ve been close friends for decades, so I can still ask for this favor.”

Despite Howard’s stance, Lysander figured she should still express her gratitude. “I’ll stay here tonight. You should head back and get some rest,”

Howard disagreed, saying, “You’ve been pretty worn out lately. Your mom just started speaking a few words. Although they’re not coherent, I understand her. She feels like she’s been holding you back, forcing you to return from Stounia. She feels indebted to you, even more so now. Don’t worry. Your mom’s condition has improved slightly. I’ve arranged for a few female caregivers, and I’ll be taking turns with them to look after her. You should go back and rest and spend more time with the parents who raised

you.

“Caregivers? Would that work?”

“Yes. Besides, your friend. Priscilla, comes over often, Counting in the caregiver, we have six or seven people taking care of one person. That should be more than enough.”

Lysander thought back to her parents, who had dressed up to attend the event that day but hadn’t been able to enjoy their meal. She felt a lingering concern in her heart for them.

“If there’s anything you need, feel free to call me anytime. My phone is always on, twenty–four hours a day.”

“Okay.”

Lysander glanced at Molly on the hospital bed. The latter managed a faint smile and nodded at Lysander.

Lysander paused for a moment, then returned a smile.
