“Mr. and Mrs. Thorne, I’ll be taking my leave now.”

Josiah glanced toward Lysander, but Lysander was engaged in conversation with Maverick. Not wanting to interrupt, Josiah had no choice but to leave the ward alone.

Only after Maverick saw the thorn in his side leave did he sit down and let out a sigh of relief. He then turned to Lysander with anticipation, asking, “Your sister should be able to leave the hospital in a couple of days. Will you be staying at home during this period?”

“I might not be able to anytime soon. There are some documents I still need to review. After all, when I make a commitment, I see it through to the end.” When Lysander thought about the workload she had, she knew she couldn’t go home despite her yearning to.

Laura voiced her concern. “Is it too tiring? Please, don’t overwork yourself.”

“Don’t worry, I know my limits. Once this new job stabilizes, I’ll come home.” Lysander was incredibly calm.

Michelle was eager to help. “Lysander, if you’re swamped, I can lend a hand too.”

Lysander couldn’t help but advise, “You should focus on recovering first.”

She felt a pang of reluctance in her heart, but it was time to say goodbye. “Mom, Dad, I have to go now. If there’s anything, you must let me know.”

“Don’t worry, they have me at home.” Maverick reluctantly saw Lysander out the door, then looked around the hallway. “He really left, right? He isn’t somewhere waiting for you, is he?”

Lysander stepped aside to let him check. “Would you like to take a look?”

Maverick carefully scanned the surroundings, confirming that Josiah was indeed nowhere to be seen before he slowly nodded. “That’s good. Good men are rare in this world. If he continues to bother you, you don’t have to entertain him.”

Thereafter, he reluctantly bid his daughter farewell.

Lysander took the elevator straight up to the sixteenth floor.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Josiah, who had been waiting there.

Josiah softly asked, “Has Mr. Thorne’s mood improved?”

“I found my biological parents and then there’s you. With these two matters events combined, how could he possibly be happy?” Lysander sighed slightly, then asked, “What about Aurora? Is she still at the hotel? Can we rely on the person you found?”

Josiah shook his head. “I wasn’t comfortable leaving Aurora there, so I asked a service staff who had taken care of her before to accompany her. They are currently in Mrs. Thorne’s ward.”

Lysander nodded, her eyebrows furrowing slightly as he said, “We should still go back. Judging from the

Josiah naturally assumed that he would be returning with Lysander. At that moment, he simply asked, “Are we leaving now?”

Lysander glanced at him, pondering before she said, “You should take care of that wound on your head first. I’m afraid you might scare the children if you keep wandering around like this.”

When Josiah arrived earlier, he had hastily cleaned the blood off his face.

Yet, the wound remained, partially hidden within his hair, while the other half starkly sprawled across his forehead, making it conspicuous.

Lysander suggested, “Let me take you to the ER department to have it bandaged.”

She was quite familiar with the area, instinctively wanting to lead the way.

Josiah’s mood gradually brightened as he volunteered, “It’s alright. I can go alone. It’s not hard to find the ER department. Otherwise, if Mr. Thorne finds out that you’re with me, he’ll get upset again.”

*Fine, you can go on your own.”

Seeing that he was injured, her attitude softened considerably.

Josiah suggested, “You should go check on Aurora. After you left, she cried a lot.”

Lysander felt a sudden squeeze in her heart.

Molly’s hospital room was situated quite a distance away, on the opposite side of the orthopedic department.

Before she went in, she politely knocked on the door.

After discussing the matter of acknowledging Lysander with his wife, Howard thought it was the nurse returning from her rounds, so he personally opened the door for her.

As soon as the door opened, his worried expression vanished in an instant, replaced by joy. He quickly turned around to tell his wife, “It’s Lysa!”

Lysander still couldn’t bring herself to call him “Dad.” She nodded reluctantly and explained, “I came to see Aurora.”

“Come in quickly.” With an irrepressible joy, Howard led her inside.

The room was filled with Aurora’s delightful laughter. She was having a great time playing with the service staff assigned to her.

Molly, despite her mobility issues, shifted slightly towards the door upon hearing the news. All she wanted was to catch another glimpse of Lysander.

Lysander felt a bit unsettled as she greeted Molly, “You seem to be doing better than before. I suppose you’ll be able to leave the hospital soon.”

Molly carefully studied her daughter’s features, her heart aching as she spoke. “With your best wishes, I’m sure I’ll get better. Lysa. I’m sorry for burdening vou again. You not only had to give up your chance for

Lysander wasn’t sure how to treat her, her politeness tinged with a sense of awkwardness. “Since I’ve spent a fair amount of Thorne Constructions and Energies‘ money, I should do something in return.”

She asked, “The nurse has come on her rounds today, hasn’t she?”

“She has and said everything is fine. I just need some time to fully recover.”

Lysander gave a slight nod.

No sooner had the words left her mouth, than Aurora in the crib next to her began to fuss, hastily reaching out with her tiny hands.

The service staff hurriedly wheeled ove

Aurora’s crib, saying, “Ms. Thorne, Aurora is looking for you.”

Lysander recalled what Josiah had said about Aurora’s crying, gently grasping her soft little hand for comfort. “Why have you turned into a crybaby? I’m back, aren’t I?”

At that moment, Aurora stopped crying, her little mouth pouting in a pitiful manner.

However, Aurora’s clothes had already been changed. They were clean and neat, clearly indicating that the child had been well taken care of.

Lysander sincerely thanked the service staff. “Thank you, may I know

your name?”

Although she had only spent a few days with Aurora, she had already developed a genuine affection for it.

Had she not lost that child, her heart would have been filled with even more tenderness now.

“My last name is Holmes, Ms. Thorne. You can call me Saffron,” she said with a smile. Saffron then added, smiling, “I was only looking after Aurora for a short while. Mr. Guerra was quite generous. The child is quite easy to handle too… Ms. Thorne, Aurora wants you to hold him.”

Lysander reached out, taking the child from Saffron’s arms.

She gently turned her face to nuzzle Aurora, her cheek brushing against it. A hint of worry tinged her voice as she asked again, “Saffron, has Aurora had its formula yet?”

“She has. Mr. Guerra personally took care of it,” Saffron recounted the situation. “Ms. Lanister offered to help, but he rejected her outright.”

Molly gazed at Lysander, who was cradling Aurora in her arms, her heart filled with a myriad of emotions. She said, “Howard, does this scene seem familiar to you?”

Howard found himself recalling a similar scene with her, his voice trembling as he reminisced, “I remember the hospital room back then was quite similar to this one, only the conditions weren’t as good as they are now.”

They were discussing events that had transpired a long time ago.

Lysander was puzzled by what she heard, but she didn’t comment. She simply looked on with curiosity.

Molly took the initiative to tell Lysander about her childhood, a time she simply had no recollection of.

As she spoke, Molly gestured the size with both of her hands.

“I still remember it well. When you were born, you weighed just over two kilograms, smaller than most babies. The nurse initially told me that the umbilical cord was wrapped around your neck, which was dangerous. I was so scared I nearly passed out. Luckily, it turned out to be a false alarm and you were born safely. Your father, the fool, was a sight to see. As I was being wheeled out of the room on the hospital bed, he was looking at you, weeping uncontrollably despite being a grown man.”

Ever since her biological daughter went missing, Molly seldom spoke of the past. But now, given the chance, she began to recount it.

“This child bears a striking resemblance to you when you were just born. They say it’s in a baby’s nature to cry, but you were exceptionally cheerful. Even when the doctors and nurses held you, you showed no signs of fear.”
