Chapter 259 Repaying Favors Is Always The Hardest
Lysander was aware. Sighing softly, she said, “Priscilla was afraid that you’d be heartbroken to see her in her current state, so I agreed to help her keep it a secret.”
Fred closed his eyes, choking back his pain. “How can my sorrow compare to my own daughter being tortured like this? If I had known Harry was such a scumbag, I would never have agreed to them being together.”
“Dr. Ziegler, there’s no use regretting now. The baby has been aborted now, and Priscilla is doing quite well. As long as she’s away from the Molseys, she will gradually get better,” Adrian comforted him.
Fred sighed deeply as he said, “We owe you both so much. Lysander, I’ve thought it over. You’ve already reached the pinnacle in our hospital. There’s no more room for growth here. So, I’ve swallowed my pride and secured an overseas placement for you. You missed the last opportunity, didn’t you? This is a great chance for you to advance your skills abroad and not let your talent go to waste.”
Fred handed Lysander an application form and said, Fill this out and give it back to me by the end of the month. Also, Adrian, I’m aware of your family situation. I shouldn’t need to stick my neck out for
but I promise to support you unconditionally if you decide to go abroad with Lysander.”
you.
Upon hearing this, Adrian turned to glance at Lysander. Then, he replied solemnly, “Actually, I don’t mind either way. Whether here or abroad, my job is to treat and save people.”
“All right, take your time and let me know when you’ve decided,” Fred said.
As they left Fred’s office, Adrian asked Lysander, “Are you planning to go abroad?”
Lysander pondered for a moment before saying, “I need to think it over.”
“Are you hesitating because of Josiah?” Adrian asked.
Lysander frowned slightly. “What does this have to do with him?”
“Is it Zachary, then?” Fred asked again.
Lysander replied, “It has nothing to do with anyone else. I just can’t stop worrying about my They are getting older, but my sister just started university. I’m afraid that if I leave, there wil one to look after them…”
“I can help you with that,” Adrian offered.
Lysander was taken aback.
Adrian quickly clarified, “I mean, I can help you find a housekeeper or a part-timer. You know, my family has some influence in Harborbrook. I won’t let your parents struggle.”
Lysander remained silent.
Adrian continued, “I have no other intentions. I just want to help.”

owe you one.”
Lysander began, “Actually, I…”
“I’m going to check on Priscilla. I’ll go ahead first,” Adrian interjected.
Fortunately, Priscilla’s wound hadn’t reopened. It just bled a little.
Lynn had already placed a new dressing on Priscilla’s wound. Now that Priscilla was resting on the hospital bed, Daphne was peeling a banana for her.
“I heard from Lysander that bananas are rich in potassium, which can help you restore physical strength quickly. You should eat a bit at least,” Daphne said.
“Thank you, Daphne,” Lynn replied.
Daphne’smiled cheerfully, content to help Lynn peel bananas.
Seeing Lysander return, Daphne winked playfully, “Did Dr. Ziegler give you a bonus or something?”
Noticing the sisterly atmosphere between them, Lysander pulled up a chair and sat down. “I suppose so,” she replied.
“Well, I guess you’ll have to treat us then.”
“Sure, what do you want to eat?”
“Let me think about it. I’ll let you know when I figure it out.”
“Take your time. I’m going to rest for a while,” Lysander said.
She had been busy all morning and hadn’t checked her phone.
There was a missed call from her sister, Michelle.
Lysander’s family knew how demanding her job was. If she didn’t answer, it meant she was busy. Michelle left a message for her.
Lysander, Mdm. Camila brought a lot of tobacco, alcohol, and health supplements today. I don’t recognize the tobacco brands, but there’s a whole box of Macallan alcohol Mom and Dad accepted everything! Does this mean they’re officially proposing?
