“Jose…” Tiffany was about to argue further, but then she saw that Josiah had already packed the baby essentials, even pushing the baby stroller along with it.
With an emotionless gaze, Josiah looked at Tiffany and said, “So, you insist on staying at the hotel, don’t you?”
Dillon, protecting his daughter, said, “We are also customers. Since the hotel is open for business and I’ve brought Tiff with me, surely, Mr. Guerra, you can’t refuse our accommodation, right?”
Without saying much, Josiah turned around and instructed the service. staff, “Hold the child carefully and follow me.”
Upon seeing Josiah preparing to leave, Dillon couldn’t help but ask with a hint of unwillingness, “Mr. Guerra, are you leaving?”
Josiah was indifferent, uttering only a single sentence: “If you like it here, stay for a few more days. Just don’t bother me anymore.”
For a period following that, he was unlikely to return.
Josiah turned and walked out the door.
The service staff worked diligently, not asking a single unnecessary question. When the boss asked her to follow, she simply pushed the baby stroller and obeyed.
When Josiah took the service staff to the hospital, he first visited the ER department to have the wound on his head treated.
After that, he went to Molly’s ward, where Howard was peeling an apple for his wife by the bedside.
Howard wasn’t shocked to see Josiah unexpectedly drop by. He simply asked, “Josiah, what brings you here?”

Upon hearing the sound, Molly, on the bed, turned her head to look at Josiah. She smiled gently at him. Her complexion was a bit more rosy compared to the last time they met as she sat propped up against the bed’s headboard.
Josiah looked around, noticing no signs of recent visitors. He politely. greeted them and said, “It’s been a while since I last visited you, Mrs. Thorne. It seems like you’re recovering well. Mr. Thorne has taken good care of you.”
Molly’s smile widened a bit, yet her eyes couldn’t help but dart past like she was searching for someone.

Howard also asked, “Josiah, didn’t Lysa come with you? And this child-”
“A friend asked me to look after the child for a while.”
Howard patted his chest. “You gave me a scare.”
Josiah chuckled. “Are you allowed to eat apples now, Mrs. Thorne?”
Howard answered on Molly’s behalf, “The doctor just left and said she could try eating a little, but not too much. Ever since Lysa returned, Molly has been recovering well. Look, she can now sit up for a while and
sometimes even manage to eat some simple foods on her own. Maybe in a little while, we could even go back home.”
When he spoke of his wife then, he no longer carried the same worry as before. A faint smile graced his face.
With some effort, Molly said, “Staying in the hospital for too long can be quite draining. After all, there’s no place like home. Howard is getting older, and he doesn’t rest well in the hospital.”
Her relationship with Howard was profoundly deep, and they were widely recognized as a loving couple. After exchanging a few words, they shared a knowing smile. They were filled with hope for their future life together.
Josiah found himself reminiscing about his past with Lysander: a memory

that was then tinged with a bitter–sweet longing.
Howard and Molly, Maverick and Laura, and even his parents were all deeply in love.
His father passed away early, but in his memory, his parents were always deeply in love.
On the other hand, he brought the once harmonious marriage to a sorry
state.
Once Howard had finished slicing the apple into small pieces and placed them next to Molly, he finally remembered to invite Josiah to sit down. “Josiah, I’m sure you came to see me today for a reason. Please, take a seat, and we can talk at your own pace.”
“All right.”
Despite his best efforts to hide it, the injury on Josiah’s face was impossible. to conceal. Noticing this, Howard asked with a hint of concern, “That wound looks pretty serious. Did you run into some trouble? Is it related to Lysa?”
“No. I was at fault. I got what I deserved.”
Howard furrowed his brows. “What on earth happened?”
Josiah roughly recounted the events that had transpired in the hotel that day to Howard.
Howard sighed with a hint of melancholy. “The truth can’t be concealed forever. Now that this matter has been exposed, it’s better to endure short- term pain than long–term suffering. No matter what decision Lysa makes in the future, we have to respect her.”
Molly was somewhat troubled, her face clearly painted with the hue of
worry.

I let them leave first. However, they should be in this hospital now,” Josiah
said.
Howard and Molly looked at him, puzzled.
“Lysander also has a sister who has been in a car accident not too long ago. She, too, is being treated here.”
Howard nodded, “I see. You’re hoping that I can step in and have a good talk with Lysa’s adoptive parents, right?”
Josiah said, “Lysander grew up with them. The couple treats her as their own daughter. Knowing about this, they must have felt a sense of loss. Lysander is very respectful. She must be feeling quite upset as well.”
“I understand.” Howard inquired, “How is Lysa’s sister? Was the car accident severe?”
Josiah shared what he knew. “She’s fine now. If things go smoothly, she could be discharged from the hospital in a couple of days.”
With a sense of relief, Howard said, “That’s good. The poor young girl must be finding it hard to be in the hospital. Since Molly can’t travel far, let’s meet Lysa’s foster parents together, and then we can decide on our next steps based on their attitudes.”
“All right.”
As Howard spoke, his gaze fell onto the baby stroller. “Is this your friend’s child?
“Correct.”
Howard quickly suggested, “Let’s leave the child here. Since you’ve also brought someone to look after her, that’ll work.”
Maverick had a quick temper, and it was uncertain whether he could keep the situation under control. It seemed better to have the child stay there

The service staff wheeled the baby stroller into the ward, introducing a bundle of joy who could talk and laugh into the previously solemn environment. The atmosphere instantly shifted.
Molly looked at her with a smile for a moment, then gently said, “Josiah ist right. What’s done is done, and it’s best to clarify our stance as soon as possible to avoid any misunderstandings. Besides, Lysa’s adoptive parents. have treated her as their own and taken care of her for so many years. We should be grateful to them.”
“Exactly.” Howard and his wife were both understanding individuals. “We’re already very pleased to know that Lysa has been doing well over these years. When we meet this time, we must have a good talk with them.”
Molly was still unable to get up, remaining in the ward under the care of the caregiver. The service staff also stayed with her, looking after the baby.
After collecting his emotions, Howard accompanied Josiah to the floor where the orthopedics ward was located.
That day, it seemed especially quiet there.
The ward where Michelle was staying was a private one, secretly arranged” by Josiah. He effortlessly found out the room number, yet he hesitated. slightly before the tightly shut door.
Howard was entirely clueless about the situation, and he certainly didn’t. dare to act recklessly.
“Mr. Thorne, please wait a moment,” Josiah said. He noticed that the small window on the door was completely covered by a curtain, making it impossible to see inside. He went straight to the nurse to inquire, “Has the patient staying here been discharged?”
“No…” The nurse followed in confusion, immediately pushing the door open with her hand,
Inside the ward, everyone who was supposed to be there was present.

Michelle was lying on the hospital bed, with Lysander seated right next to her on a chair. Maverick and Laura were sitting opposite them. The entire family appeared exceptionally quiet, each lost in their own thoughts.
