Chapter 425 Too Slow To Grasp The Opportunity
Susan nodded. “Yes. After all, I’m not getting any younger. That previous fire, along with a few sudden. bouts of high blood pressure, were all quite dangerous. Josiah is worried about me, so he decided to live next door from now on to take care of me. This way, he can also enjoy the meals Eleanor prepares when he comes back from work in the evening.”
“That’s very good.”
Susan said with a laugh, “I’m just worried that living so close might disturb the two from having private
time.
While they were talking. Josiah had peeled a few more shrimps, which all ended up on the plate in front of Tiffany.
He pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands, casually remarking as he did so, “It’s fine. We can always go out on dates.”
Clatter!
Embarrassed, Lysanne picked up the fruit knife from the ground. “Sorry, I didn’t have a good grip… Ah!”
She had reached for the knife in a state of panic. In an instant, her finger was sliced open, fresh blood trickling from the tip. It dropped in rhythmic plops, staining the pristine floor beneath.
Howard was somewhat worried, getting up to check on her. “Are you okay?”
Lysanne shook her head, her voice a bit hoarse as she replied, “It’s nothing, just an accident. Really, I’m
fine.
Howard frowned. “This wound is quite large…
As the host, Susan also stepped forward. “How did you cut yourself so badly? Eleanor, please bring the first aid kit quickly.”
“I’ll go right away, Madam Susan.”
Lysanne repeatedly apologized, “It’s okay, I’m fine. Don’t bother yourselves. I’ll head to the hospital to get this sorted out. Dad, Susan, and… Josiah, I’ll be leaving first.”
Howard was somewhat uneasy. “No, your wound is quite severe. We need to stop the bleeding immediately.”
“Here it is, the first aid kit!” Eleanor brought over the first aid kit. “Oh my, there’s so much blood. I don’t think a band–aid will do the trick, will it?”
Howard turned his head to look at Lysander. “Um, Lysa, could you possibly…”
Daphne firmly held onto Lysander’s hand. “Mr. Thorne, Lysander is an obstetrician, so her expertise doesn’t align with this. Maybe it would be better to send Lysanne to the hospital. After all, it’s best to leave professional matters to the professionals.”
Daphne’s intentions were clear as day, so there was nothing more Howard could say.

injured person right in front of you, do you plan to just stand by and do nothing, Dr. Thorne?”
Daphne pulled a face. “As I’ve said, Lysander can’t handle it because her area of expertise isn’t this.”
“Who said that? When Dr. Thorne treated my wounds before, her technique was extremely professional.”
Daphne’s eyes flickered. “Mr. Guerra, are you insisting that Lysander treat your ex–girlfriend’s wound?”
“Ms. Everhart, it’s better to sort out your own matters first before meddling in other people’s affairs.”
Daphne’s face instantly turned deathly pale.
“So what happened to my family was deliberate on your part?”
Josiah stated, “As the CEO of Guerra Group, every decision I make is in the best interest of the company. There’s no question of doing anything deliberately or not.”
“Is it because I don’t like you? But my animosity toward you is only because of what you did before-”
“Ms. Everhart, I am a businessman, and profits always come first. I won’t be swayed just because someone grovels before me, nor will I abandon a partnership because of someone’s crude words or bad attitude. I never let personal matters interfere with my work.”
“Hah! Is that so?”
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you. Either way, it doesn’t really matter to me.”
“You…
Lysander grabbed Daphne, shaking her head at her.
Indeed, the Everhart family was in deep trouble at the moment, and angering Josiah wouldn’t do anyone any good.
“Let me take a look.”
Lysander walked over to inspect the extent of Lysanne’s injury.
The latter must have been mistaken when she went to grab the knife, seizing the blade instead of the
handle.
Hence, apart from the thumb, the other four fingers were all injured as well.

Susan frowned slightly and chastised. “Eleanor, please refrain from speaking nonsense.”
Immediately. Eleanor realized what she had done, her embarrassment reaching new heights. She glanced at Lysander, then turned her head to look at Josiah, stammering, “I, uh…”
“Till knows how to drive.”
The moment the door was shut from the outside, a hot tear splashed onto a wound drenched in fresh blood.
Lysanne had endured all night, but finally, she couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Dad, I just feel so miserable. If I had known it would end up like this, I would’ve… I would’ve…”

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....
