Chapter 190 Another Acquaintance
It was Michelle’s first time drinking alcohol, and she had overindulged earlier. At this moment, the alcohol was getting to her head, causing her to start throwing up.
Caught off guard, Lysander still stained her sleeve even though she tried to dodge swiftly.
She called over a waiter, who helped her support Michelle to the restroom. After tidying Michelle up, they returned to their booth seat to rest.
Lysander looked at her drunk and sorrowful sister, then turned to the waiter and said, “Could you please bring a cup of warm water? Thank you.”
“Alright, please hold on a moment.”
Before long, the waiter had brought over the warm water.
“Thank you.”
“Miss,” the waiter said, pointing at her sleeve, “Let me look after this lady for you. You should go clean up quickly.”
Lysander glanced back at her sister. Despite her sadness, the latter likely didn’t have the energy to wander off for the time being.
Lysander was a doctor, a clean freak by nature, so this particular stench was indeed quite unbearable for her.
“Alright then, I appreciate your help. I’ll be back soon.”
“Alright.”
Lysander retreated to the restroom, where she meticulously cleaned her cuffs. She scrubbed them repeatedly with soap until the refreshing scent of lemon permeated the air. Only then did she feel a sense of relief
within.
However, when she returned to the booth seat, his sister was no longer there.
She scanned her surroundings and immediately spotted the waiter who had been assisting Michelle earlier. Without hesitation, she approached him and asked, “Excuse me, where’s my sister?”
The waiter glanced at the booth seat, looking a bit puzzled. “She was just there a moment ago, could she have felt sick and gone to throw up?”
“I just got back from the restroom.
“Could it be… that she has gone home?”
Lysander didn’t tell her parents when she took Michelle out to drown her sorrows in alcohol. Instead, she dialed Zachary’s number..
The call was answered swiftly.
“Zachary, where are you now?”
“Haha, didn’t you invite me over for dinner just yesterday? Have you forgotten already? By the way, where are you and Michelle? My mom and I came over today, thinking we could discuss the moving plans with you two.
Chapter 190 Another Acquaintance
Michelle isn’t at home.
Lysander’s heart
s still pounding, “Zachary, is it convenient for you to talk now?”
Zachary quickly grasped her meaning. “Just hold on a moment.”
“Alright.”
Roughly a minute had passed when his voice echoed through the phone again. This time, it was laced with a hint of seriousness. “I’m out on the balcony now. Your parents and my mom are in the living room making ravioli, so they can’t hear us. Lysander, did something happen?”
After Lysander roughly explained the situation to him, Zachary was taken aback.
“You took her out for drinks?”
“Keep your voice down. Don’t let my parents hear you.”
“Alright, I understand. I’m heading over now.”
“What are you going to tell them?”
“I’ll tell them I got called back to work unexpectedly. Don’t worry. The bar isn’t far. I’ll be there in ten minutes.”
After hanging up, Lysander was still brimming with anxiety.

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....
