Chapter 247 A Permanent Regret 
Lysander said, “I don’t need her gratitude for helping her. Dr. Ziegler has shown me great kindness.” 
“I have no particular ties with Dr. Ziegler or Priscilla. I’m only helping you. I don’t need her gratitude either.” 
Lysander retorted, “Do you mean to say that I should be the one expressing my gratitude?” 
“No, there’s no need for your gratitude. I just hope you could be a little less guarded toward me.” 
It was fine when he didn’t say this. But after he did, Lysander slightly moved back, creating a distance. between them. 
Josiah smiled as he watched her movements and said softly, “I was indeed impulsive just now. I’m 
sorry.” 
“Next time if 

I you have the urge, please don’t choose convenience over feelings. There’s always a woman by your side.” 

Josiah’s expression turned slightly cold. “This is the main reason why I asked you to stay today. I want to talk to you about my relationship with Lysanne.” 
“I don’t want to know.” 
Josiah paused for a moment. “In that case, I’ll just say my piece. You can listen if you want to. But if you don’t want to, just cover your ears.”

“When my father passed away, my mother was still pregnant with me. Upon hearing the tragic news of father’s death, my mother fainted and nearly lost her life along with mine. It was Mrs. Thorne who stayed with my mother every day, cooked her delicious meals, and forced her to eat. After I was born, Mrs. Thorne took care of me a lot as well. During that time, the company was in chaos, and it was Mr. Thorne who helped my grandmother keep things going.”

However, she was not very clear about the specific reason. 
Elisa valued Josiah very much. It was also because he was the only child left by her so

“You didn’t let Grandma Elisa down. You managed the company very well.” 
“But it’s precisely because I was so indulgent with Lysanne in the past that she couldn’t even utter her. last words.” Josiah wiped his face in pain. “You were right. I should have realized the seriousness of the problem when she insisted on causing trouble at the resort, regardless of my mother’s safety.

“Lysander, you might not want to hear what I’m about to say next, but I don’t know when I’ll be able to see you again, so I must say it. Ever since we parted, I’ve told myself countless times to let go, to give you
