Chapter 67 Earning Merit For My Child
Lysander said, “I wish to purchase a house.”
Josiah comprehended her concern.
She feared that acquiring a house at this moment might result in it being deemed marital property.
“Don’t pay attention to Lysanne’s remarks.”
“She’s not speaking without reason. I also recently reviewed the marriage law and it does state that.”
Josiah remarked. “I assumed… another man was pursuing you.”
“Legally, I am still a married woman and I do not have any romantic interests. Even after the divorce, I cannot simply run off with my former crush immediately.”
He sighed. I always perceived you as a delicate and vulnerable girl who requires protection and someone to shield from life’s challenges. It was only recently that I discovered your sharpness.”
“I acknowledge that I am indeed being sarcastic. If your sweetheart is a respectful and ethical individual. I have no objections then. I will support your relationship, as long as she does not bully me. If she can have a proper conversation with me once and discuss your past, I might willingly step back without any complaints. However, she chose the most hurtful approach. Not only before our separation but even after it.”
“She was not like this before,” Josiah mentioned. “She was a very gentle and kind-hearted girl in her youth…
“Before? How long ago was that?”
“Before she turned four years old.”“
Lysander was taken aback. “That was a long time ago.”
At the age of four, memories might not be very profound.
“People grow and change. It’s natural.”
“Yes, before the age of four, she was quite adorable. But after we were apart for a while, she was already quite similar to how she is now when I saw her again at the age of seven or eight. While other classmates could recite poems, she could climb a tree swiftly and often got scolded by her parents.”
Lysander murmured, “So you two are quite compatible.”
“Why do you say that?”
“I heard your classmates mention that you were not easy to get along with in high school.”
Josiah appeared somewhat surprised. “You know our classmates? Who?”

them discussing it.”
Josiah lowered his head and tugged at the corner of his mouth, seemingly confirming it.
“In our school, there was also a bully, but he had principles. If you did not provoke him, you were safe. He only engaged in conflicts with troublemakers from other schools and did not harm innocent individuals.”
Josiah inquired, “Did I harm innocent people? Did Miles mention that?”
“No. Miles did not say much. I just caught a snippet. Isimply wanted to caution you that Lysanne’s demeanor, to put it nicely, is assertive, but to be frank, it is reckless. Today was fortunate, but if someone had been seriously injured, it would have been a serious matter.”.
Josiah nodded solemnly. “So, you were willing to risk your life to save her today., I truly feel remorseful toward you.
“She pushed me onto the busy street, and I was almost killed there. While I don’t want to hear you apologize again, my magnanimity only goes so far. I won’t save someone who almost killed me.”
She stated. “I witnessed her fall and sitting on the ground clutching her swollen belly while appearing to be in agony. If it were me who was struck, I could have rolled a few times to lessen the impact. It would not have been severe. However, if it were her who was hit, the child might… Perhaps I feel remorseful. Lysander helplessly tugged at the corner of her lips. “Consider it as accruing some merit for my child, hoping that he will be born into a favorable family in his next life.”
Josiah’s hands, which were loosely clasped together, suddenly tightened and the veins on the back of his hand protruded.
“I am a selfish mother. I don’t want my life to be tied to you and the Guerra family because of my child. I also don’t want him to have a childhood that is always lacking fatherly love, so… I gave him up heartlessly.”
“Lysander, can I ask you a question?”
“Sure.”
“When having an abortion, does the child… feel pain?”
