Ever since Aurora laid eyes on Lysander, she refused to be held by Saffron, as if she was terrified that Lysander might suddenly leave again. Her tiny hands clung tightly to Lysander’s clothes, unwilling to let
go.
When Lysander thought about having to part ways with Aurora once they returned to the hotel, her heart was equally filled with reluctance.
Aurora, oblivious to what was to come, simply smiled at Lysander innocently.
A warmth bloomed in Lysander’s heart. She reached out and gently tapped Aurora’s nose, her mind beginning to wander. She was meeting Nieva later, and she wondered if she should muster the courage to ask to be the godmother.
Aurora giggled, reaching out to touch Lysander’s nose. She then lowered her head to let Aurora do so.
Howard and Molly watched this heartwarming scene, their hearts filled with a warmth they hadn’t felt in a long time.
It wasn’t long before their playful antics were interrupted, as Josiah had returned from the ER department.
He had a piece of gauze over his eyebrows; the bleeding had already stopped. However, the bruise cheek and other minor wounds were still quite noticeable.
The gauze was only two fingers wide, so it was barely visible once Josiah’s fringes covered it.

Lysander furrowed her brows as she looked at him for quite a while, her eyes filled with surprise and disapproval.
With a soft chuckle, Josiah reassured the two elders, “Mr. and Mrs. Thorne, I’ve come to take Lysander and Aurora home.”
Howard made conversation. “Josiah, what did the doctor say about your injury?”
“It’s no big deal. Some rest is all that’s needed. You all should take a good rest.”
When Howard and Molly saw Lysander arrive only to leave shortly after, they naturally felt reluctant to part ways. “Take care, both of you.”
Lysander politely acknowledged them.
Once she made it to the corridor, her inherent instincts as a doctor began to take over. “Let’s go to the ER department,”

Josiah said softly, “No need. I’m fine.”
He flashed a smile at Aurora, who promptly responded with coos of delight, showing no signs of fear toward him.

Lysander was quite patient with her patients. “Your wound definitely needs stitches. Who was the doctor that bandaged you up? How could they just hastily treat you and let you go?”
Josiah asked, “I can go, but will you stick my wound for me?”
“This is a job for a surgeon. It’s not my specialty,” Lysander refused matter–of–factly.
“You do cesarean sections, don’t you? You must have stitched up many patients. Shouldn’t you be a pro already?”
Lysander was somewhat annoyed. “If you keep this up, I’m going back to Michelle’s ward. You can go back on your own.”
Josiah naturally placated her in a gentle and calm manner, “I’ve consulted the surgeon. He mentioned that although this method might slow down the recovery, it’s still a viable option.”
Lysander found it hard to believe.
Nevertheless, Josiah continued, “You’ve mentioned it yourself, every profession has its own field of expertise. You must trust in the professional abilities of the surgeons at your hospital.”
“I don’t believe you,” Lysander said seriously. “You’re not avoiding bandages because you think they look ugly, are you?”
Josiah touched his nose in an attempt to avoid answering. He merely turned around to ask, “Saffron, is Aurora doing alright?”
Saffron wore a puzzled expression. “Huh? What’s wrong with Aurora? I’ve fed her formula and changed her diaper. Is there anything else I need to do?”
Lysander said coldly, “Don’t change the subject. Ignoring a problem won’t make it disappear. Looking good shouldn’t be your priority.”
Josiah gave a wry smile. “I’m not even married yet. What if I have a scar on my face?”
Lysander was silent for a moment. “Not everyone is so superficial, basing love solely on appearances.”
“Yeah, you really don’t judge someone by appearances,” said Josiah. “You even considered being with someone like Zachary.”
When it came to Zachary, Lysander still felt a little unsettled. “If Zachary doesn’t come back for a long time, Mdm. Camila will definitely call the police. They’ll check the surveillance cameras and then… Are you ready for that? What will you say when the time comes?”
While they were speaking, they had already reached the entrance of the hospital.
Josiah deliberately slowed his pace, assisting Saffron in carrying Aurora’s baby stroller down the steps.
First, he let Saffron get into the backseat of the car with Aurora. Then, he neatly folded up the stroller and placed it in the trunk before finally getting into the car and starting it.

Lysander stood unmoved where she was.
Josiah patted the passenger seat. “Get in the car.”
However, she was waiting for his answer.
“The wound has been stitched up with a colorless suture thread,” said Josiah, leaning back in his chair as if he was giving in to her. “As for Zachary, like I just mentioned, he’s in Flaite.”
Lysander leaned in for a closer look and indeed, the largest wound had been stitched up with a colorless suture thread.
She was somewhat upset, “Since it’s already stitched up, why did you lie to me just now?”
“You tell me?”
Josiah glanced back at Saffron, softening his voice to coax Lysander, “All right, let’s get in the car first. I just received a message from Nieva. She’s already back and waiting for us. We shouldn’t keep her waiting too long.
Left with no other choice, Lysander got in the car.
“Does Guerra Group have a subsidiary in Flaite?”
While driving, Josiah chuckled lightly. “It’s such a tiny nation, why would I establish a subsidiary there?”
“Then Zachary…”
“He was planning to make something out of himself, wasn’t he? There are fewer people over there, making it easier for him to achieve his dreams. His success rests on his own capabilities now.”
Lysander studied him for a moment. Josiah seemed relaxed, not like he was lying.
Zachary certainly deserved punishment, but she couldn’t help but feel that ending someone’s life like this was just too gruesome.
“Are you scared I might kill him?”
“Have you ever killed someone?”
Taking a deep breath, Josiah responded, “I’ve never personally laid a hand on anyone.”
Lysander lowered her gaze, studying her own fingers. “Is it because of business?”
“It was, at the beginning.”
“Can one really take a life for the sake of money?” Lysander asked. “Perhaps because I’m a doctor, every life is precious to me. I can’t comprehend the ruthlessness of the business world.”
Josiah said, “The more power is concentrated, the more brutal the competition becomes. Sometimes, it’s not that I want to harm someone, but they want to harm me. I’m just trying to protect myself.”
“I can comprehend, but still struggle to fully understand.”
“You don’t need to understand” said Iosiah. “As long as I’m around. I won’t let vou face such issues”

“Josiah.”
“Hmm?”
“Was Harry… also sent to Flaite?”
“He’s really dead.”
Lysander swiftly turned her head to look at him.
Saffron, who was in the back seat, was also startled, gasping in shock.
