Chapter 237 When Do You Plan To Break Up
After resolving the asset’s issues, Lysander immediately arranged for Priscilla’s abortion.
However, Priscilla’s body was still too weak, and the procedure would be too harmful to her. To be cautious, Lysander scheduled the abortion for a week later.
When Priscilla returned to the hospital, it didn’t take long for Fred to find out.
He almost burst into her room. The elderly man, slightly hunched with age, clutched the door for a long moment, barely recognizing the skinny girl on the bed, a mere skeleton of the daughter he had cherished for over twenty years.
The moment Priscilla spoke, she burst into tears. “Dad, I’m sorry.”
Fred, a man in his sixties, immediately teared up. His steps were unsteady as he approached her, nearly stumbling.
Thankfully, Adrian was there to catch him.
Father and daughter embraced, with Priscilla sobbing heart–wrenchingly in her father’s arms. Fred held her gently, afraid his fragile daughter couldn’t bear the strength of a tighter hug.
Seeing this, Lynn also started to cry softly.
Lysander patted her hand. “Time to go. Let’s give them some time alone.”
Wiping her tears, Lynn followed Lysander back to the office.
Adrian, who had also come along, closed the door behind them.
Lynn was still in shock. “Dr. Thorne, is that really Priscilla? She’s not just skin and bones, it looks like she’s had all the life drained out of her!”
Throughout, Priscilla never told her what she’d endured at Harry’s rural hometown.
But it didn’t take much imagination to know it hadn’t been a pleasant experience.
Priscilla probably didn’t even want to recall it herself.
A pregnant woman, traveling all the way from the countryside to Harborbrook–how perilous that journey must have been remained a mystery.
Even Adrian sighed. “Marrying the wrong person really brings endless suffering.”
Lysander glanced at Adrian, unsure if he was insinuating something. Even if he was, she couldn’t tell whether he was referring to Josiah or Zachary.
Lynn had a newfound understanding. “Maybe there’s some truth to the old saying that marriages should be between social equals. I used to think it was outdated, but now I see it might be right.”
Before Lysander could speak, Adrian chimed in. “It’s mostly about the people involved. Even if they come.

person’s character.”
Adrian then turned to Lysander. “When are you planning to break up?
Lysander hadn’t expected the sudden question. After a moment of thought, she said, “Considering the friendship between our parents. I’ll wait for a while. We’ll naturally break up.”
*If you already sense something’s wrong with him, don’t hesitate.”
Lysander knew he was right.
Perhaps she was influenced by the situation with Harry, but Zachary’s recent

When Lysander walked out of the hospital, Zachary had already opened the passenger door for her. “You seem a bit flown today.”
Lysander shook her head. “Do I?
“Was it a tough day?”
“It’s okay.”
“Are you in a hurry to get home and rest?”
Lysander looked up at him. “Do you have plans?”
Zachary smiled. “Remember the team–building event I mentioned? I wanted you to come with me. You couldn’t make it last weekend, so our boss rescheduled it for today just to include you, our VIP.”
