Chapter 251 Not That Scary
Lysander looked at her. “Why haven’t you washed the blood off your hands yet?”
Daphne looked at her hands, somewhat embarrassed. “I was so worried that I couldn’t care about
everything else. Lysander, your last miscare already scared me to death. Priscilla’s situation this time was even more terrifying than yours. You have no idea how scared I was when I got to the hotel and saw her lying still on the bed, the sheets drenched bright red from blood. She didn’t react when I called her. When I touched her hand, it was as cold as ice! I—”
“Don’t worry. Her surgery is over now, she’s no longer in danger.”
“That’s good. That’s good. What about the baby?”
Speaking of the baby, Lysander shook her head.
Daphne didn’t quite understand. “The baby was aborted, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Is it a boy or a girl?” Daphne explained, “I didn’t mean anything by it. I just want to know the expression on Harry’s mother’s face if the child is a boy! Hasn’t she always wanted a great-grandson? She drugged her perfectly healthy great-grandson to death! Let’s see if she regrets it!”
A troubled expression crossed Lysander’s face.
Daphne asked, “Is the baby too small to determine the gender?”
“No, we can determine it.”
“So, is it a boy or a girl?”
Lysander was silent momentarily, crossed the room, shut the door, and locked it.
Daphne sensed something was off, her expression turned solemn. “What happened? No, wait, you’re a gynecologist, is it that hard to determine the baby’s gender?”
“It’s indeed difficult for me to determine it because… the baby exhibited characteristics of both genders.”
Daphne’s eyes widened. “What…What does that mean?”
“I’m merely speculating at this point, but the medicine Harry’s mother fed Priscilla contained androgens, which affected the growth of the fetus, leading to its unusually large size, and the development of certain male traits.”
Daphne loudly cursed, “Are they still even f*cking human? It’s a good thing that the baby wasn’t born. Wouldn’t their life be ruined if they were?”
Lysander was also sympathetic and sad for the child.
Fortunately, Priscilla didn’t insist on keeping the child. No one could imagine the kind of life she, a
1/3
woman in her twenties, would lead in the future.
Lysander glanced at the clock and noticed it was already half past one in the morning.
Today sure is thrilling.
Knock! Knock! Someone knocked on the door.
Daphne went to open it. “Adrian?”
“Hi.” Adrian walked in and informed Lysander,”
is awake, but we have a problem with her care
tonight. Dr. Ziegler is getting on inlage, and Priscilla has no older female relatives.”
Daphne immediately said, “I’ll do it!”
“You can’t.”
“Why?”
“Tonight is her first night after the surgery, so it’s very crucial. Also, you don’t have any nursing experience.”
Daphne said, “Then I’ll go look for a professional caregiver.”
Adrian looked at Lysander, seeking her opinion.
Lysander nodded. “That’s the only option we have left. By the way, Dr. Sutton, has Dr. Ziegler visited Priscilla yet?”
Adrian nodded. “Priscilla is so emaciated from having been through a miscarriage and losing a lot of blood, so she looks pale and weak. Dr. Ziegler fainted on the spot. Lynn is monitoring things there
now.”
No sooner than he finished Lysander’s phone rang again.
It was a string of numbers.
Josiah.
She hesitated briefly before answering the call but didn’t say anything.
“Lysander?” Josiah called out. “Are you asleep yet?”
“Why are you calling?”
Josiah was silent,
“If you don’t answer me, I’m hanging up.”
“I just want to tell you that Harry drugged Lora tonight and took her to a hotel.”
Lysander was shocked. “What?!”
2/3
“Don’t worry. My men have already found an opportunity to rescue her. She’s safe now.”
“Please say everything at once next time.”
“Sure.” Josiah lightly chuckled before adding, “Got it.”
Lysander had gone through a lot of scares that day and was absolutely exhausted. “Thanks for telling
me.”
“Don’t worry about it. I just wanted to remind you that Harry might have a hand in how he got Priscilla pregnant just like what he did with Lora, Zachary and Harry are cut from the same cloth, so you should be more careful around him.”
“Okay.”
“I drank too much today and saw you going around as partners with Zachary. When you were in danger. I kept on observing Zachary. He just stood there, watching, and didn’t move
help you. The more I watched, the angrier I got. In the end, I lost my temper and got heavy-handed with that man. and to you. I can only say that my emotions have been building up inside me for a while, and with alcohol as the catalyst, I completely lost control. I… I’m not that scary.”
