Chapter 112 Old Habits Die Hard
Josiah had visited the hospital quite a few times before, so the hospital director was familiar with him.
He chuckled affectionately. “You startled me with your suddenness.”
Only then did Josiah realize that he had lost his composure somewhat. With a hint of apology, he said, “Sorry. I was a bit distracted just now.”
“No worries, no worries,” Fred said, “Rest assured. Your wife’s medical skills are quite impressive. However, I really must apologize for the inconvenience today. Lysander, you should have told me your husband was coming too, so I could have arranged for someone to receive him.”
Lysander smiled lightly.
She scanned the surroundings, but there was no sign of Lysanne.
It seemed as though Josiah noticed her gaze and took the initiative to say, “She didn’t come
Lysander nodded.
In social gatherings with acquaintances, the greatest fear was failing to explain oneself clearly.
In the end, Josiah showed some semblance of a conscience, not parading Lysanne ostentatiously into the hospital.
Lysander was well-liked and had a good relationship with most of the medical staff in the hospital. They were all aware of Josiah’s existence. If Lysanne were to appear now, heavily pregnant and arm-in- arm with him, she truly wouldn’t know how to explain it.
Fred said, “I’m going to check on Priscilla.”
Lysander nodded. “You can go straight to the patients ward. I had Lynn take her there to rest.”
“Okay, okay. Great.”
The rest of the family and friends also took turns to express their gratitude to Lysander before following Fred.
Just moments ago, the area outside the operating room was bustling with activity Now, only familiar faces remained.
Daphne approached her, giving her a playful wink. “Did you really keep the baby?” she asked. “You know what kind of person Harry is. You’re essentially pushing a good girl into a pit of fire!”
With a sigh, Lysander started to remove her gloves as she spoke. “There was nothing I could do. She was adamant about keeping it. I had to respect the patient’s wishes.”
Daphne was utterly in disagreement. “What on earth is going on? Even someone like Harry is able to have a good girl who is willing to bear his child. And this girl, she’s the director’s daughter?”

“His only daughter, right?”
“Correct”
“I knew it! Oh, Harry, Harry, all these years and his tactics haven’t changed one bit, huh? Using the same trick to conquer the world? He’s always stepping on women to climb higher. Just you wait and see. When he finds a better branch to latch onto, my past will be this poor girl’s future.”
Lysander comforted, “After all these years, he might have changed, right?”
Daphne pursed her lips. “A leopard can’t change its spots. Do you really believe he’s changed?”
Lysander recalled the scene at the wedding banquet earlier today. Despite Priscilla’s physical condition, Harry insisted on dragging her along to mingle with Josiah. The memory sent a chill through her heart.
This was just the start of their marriage, and he was already treating her like this.
As time went on, the affection would gradually fade away. Or perhaps, as Daphne had suggested, he might move on to someone else. If so, the outcome for Priscilla would likely be even more tragic than Daphne’s because she had a child to consider.
After all, this was someone else’s life. Priscilla’s reluctance to part with her child was a natural maternal instinct. She had given her warning, and that was all she could do.

Update pls~...
Why no update ???...
Chapters 692 693 ans 694 are impossible to read. Not sure if there was an issue with translation.but the words do not make sense..impossible to follow story line...
I cant get over the fact that the writer is trying to show as if the male lead has committed a grave sin. First he didnt know she was pregnant because she never told him. Second right from the start she never communicated anything. She was unbothered even during her marriage. I am not saying the male lead is great but atleast he seems like a human with emotions unlike her. And there is no context for why she is so emotionless....
The female lead is not charming but an unbothered b word, there is a very big difference. There is no point of extending this story at all because even if you write 1000+ chapters at 1001 the male lead would still be doing everything for her and she wouldnt bat an eye even if someone killed him. I mean honestly either the start should have been written better where we do understand that she was deeply affected because of her divorce or just STOPPPPP. Even for fiction it is annoying....
