Chapter 272 Have You Not Acted Enough
Lysander walked downstairs but didn’t get into her car. Instead, she stood under the large tree at the entrance of the building.
“Speak up. What do you want from me?”
Lysanne lowered her head and chuckled, her expression poignant. “Actually, I know you don’t want to see me. You don’t even want to reply to my WhatsApp messages.”
“It’s good that you know.”
“I know everything. After all, it’s because of me that you lost the child with Josiah.”
Lysander’s patience wore thin. “I didn’t come down here to listen to your nonsense.
Lysanne said, “Okay, then I’ll get straight to the point. My parents want to meet you.”
Lysander slightly squinted her eyes. She chuckled lightly and said, “Whatever you want to say, say it all
at once.”
Lysanne took a deep breath, sounding urgent and helpless. “Don’t worry, they’re very good people. They won’t do anything. They just want to invite you for a meal.”
“No need. I have no connection with your parents.”
“They…”
“Lyss!”
From the nearby bright red sedan, Howard Thorne opened the door and walked slowly toward them. “You go back and accompany your mom. I’ll have a word with Dr. Thorne.”
Lysanne nodded obediently. “Okay, Dad. Dr. Thorne, you guys can talk.”
Once Lysanne got into the car, Howard politely introduced himself. “Dr. Thorne, hello. I’m Lyss’ father. Although we haven’t met directly, you should have seen me before at the hospital.”
The middle-aged man was well-dressed and had a cultured manner.
He was quite different from Lysander.
“Hello.”
“It’s indeed presumptuous to disturb you, Dr. Thorne But please understand us as parents. Lyss made a mistake, and now she can’t have children anymore. This is the punishment she has to bear. Although we’re heartbroken, there’s nothing we can do. However, Lyss is our only daughter. We need to plan for
her future.”
Lysander asked, “Josiah has already gotten engaged with her, right? As the future mistress of the Guerra

“As you said, said it’s just a title that isn’t real. Josiah is a good kid. Because of Lyss’ mistake this time, he lost his own child, and Old Mrs. Guerra died in resentment. We can only shamelessly use gratitude and obligation to tie Josiah to us and save Lyss. But we also know that this situation can’t last long. Guerra Group must have an heir. Josiah will definitely get married and have children. By then, Lyss will still. have nowhere to go.”
“Mr. Thorne, it’s meaningless for you to tell me these things. You can directly discuss them with Josiah.
He responded, “But Josiah likes you. It’s fated that we both share the same surname. My wife and I have discussed it for a long time, and we don’t have anything substantial to offer. If you reconcile with Josiah in the future, can you let Lyss go? Let her stay with the Guerra family, under their protection. That would be enough…”
“Mr. Thorne, Josiah and I can’t be together again. You can keep these words for now and tell them to Josiah’s future wife when he’s ready to remarry.”
“Dr. Thorne…”
“Lysander!” A gentle male voice came.”Why are you standing outside in this cold weather?”
Seeing the newcomer, Lysander scowled. “Why are you here?”
“Mrs. Thorne called me, saying Michelle wants to hear my opinion on choosing a major and invited me for dinner at home.” Zachary still had the appearance of a diligent young man. “What about you? Why are you standing here?”
As he spoke, he grabbed her hand directly.
Lysander tried to pull away, but Zachary held on tightly and winked at her.
Seeing the two holding hands, Howard frowned slightly. “Who is this?”
“I’m Lysander’s boyfriend. Mister, you are…”
“Boyfriend?”
“Yes, for now, I’m still her boyfriend, but our parents have met, so it should be getting serious soon.”
Howard was taken aback. “Are you… planning to get married?”
Zachary smiled slightly and nodded. “Yes. Mister, are you Lysander’s friend? You’re welcome to our wedding.”
Howard’s expression was complex. He looked at Lysander and said, “I didn’t expect Dr. Thorne… to be quite popular. Okay, since that’s the case, forget what I said today. Sorry for the disturbance. Goodbye.”
Zachary waved to them as the car drove off.
Once the car was gone, Lysander immediately pulled her hand away. “Haven’t you had enough acting these past few days?”
