When Josiah was on the phone, Lysander was right next to him.

Seemingly worried she might overhear, Josiah didn’t speak much throughout the journey and merely hummed in response. 

Over the past few days, Lysander had shed too many tears, but she could probably guess what had been said on the other end of the phone. 

Despite the heart–wrenching sorrow that still lingered within, she could no longer shed a single tear. 

After ending the call, Josiah hesitated for a moment before slowly crouching down in front of her. Gently taking her hand, he said, “I know how much you miss Mr. Thorne. But with the rising temperatures these past few days, if we continue to delay… Don’t worry. I can arrange for Mr. Thorne’s body to be temporarily stored in the morgue. Once you’ve calmed down a bit, I’ll make further arrangements…” 

The morgue was shrouded in a chilling darkness, making it the most despair–inducing place within the funeral home. 

Maverick had always loved the hustle and bustle of life. He was not fond of places that felt lonely and cold. 

Naturally, Lysander couldn’t bear to let her father remain in such a place. Her voice trembling, she said, “No need for that. Let’s hurry. Are the arrangements at the funeral home today or tomorrow?” 

Today,” Josiah said somewhat reluctantly. 

“All right. You step outside for a moment. I’ll join you shortly after I change my clothes.” 

If Maverick were to see her in such a haggard state, he would undoubtedly be worried. She had to make herself presentable in order to bid him his final farewell. 

The luggage from the spa resort had already been delivered by Skylar. She selected the most plain set from it. After a quick freshening up, she unsteadily pushed open the door to the ward. 

Josiah was standing by, waiting for her. Seeing her pale face and her entire body leaning against the wall, looking as if she might collapse at any moment, he walked over and supported her. 

“Lysander.” 

“I’m okay. I just feel a bit weak in the knees.” 

The view in front of Lysander changed quickly, and she was no longer standing on the ground. But she always felt as if she was floating, so this wasn’t new. Her heart felt emptier as if it didn’t belong anywhere. 

Turning around, she was met with his resolute profile. 

She wasn’t overly surprised. After a moment’s hesitation, she allowed him to carry her out of the hospital, and he gently placed her in the passenger seat. 

Josiah leaned over to fasten her seatbelt for her, then returned to the driver’s seat to start the car. He drove exceptionally smoothly all the way, ensuring she didn’t experience the slightest jolt. 

Ever since Maverick passed away, the color never returned to Lysander’s face. She appeared even frailer

The funeral home was situated next to the cemetery, in the remote outskirts far from the heart of Harborbrook. A mountain breeze was blowing all the way there. Josiah, fearing that Lysander might be affected by the wind, raised the car window and gently said to her, “Mdm. Molly, my mom, and the others already know about Mr. Thorne’s situation. They are all waiting for you over there.” 

He was worried that mentioning the name of the funeral home would upset Lysander, so he intentionally glossed over it. 

Yet, a pang of pain still struck her heart. She looked toward the distant green mountains and asked, “How are my mom and sister doing?” 

Over the past few days, she had avoided meeting them. It wasn’t that she didn’t miss them, but rather, she feared that they would end up in a tearful embrace. 

Laura had already fainted twice, and Michelle, despite her young age, had to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of her mother. She didn’t want to agitate their emotions further. 

Josiah tenderly responded, “Skylar has already brought them over.” 

Lysander had no other questions left to ask. She simply stated with a sense of emptiness, “So, everything has already been set up and they’re just waiting for me.” 

Upon hearing her words filled with despair, Josiah wanted to offer some comfort, yet he feared it might backfire. So, he remained silent, simply focusing on maintaining a steady pace while subtly increasing the speed of the car. 

When they arrived at the funeral home, Susan, dressed all in black, was already waiting outside the main 

entrance. 

As soon as Josiah had parked the car, he assisted Lysander in getting out. Susan, with eyes full of concern, quickly approached them. She first embraced Lysander, choking back her tears as she said, “Poor child, I haven’t seen you in a few days. How have you become so worn out?” 

She halted her upcoming words under the constant head shaking of Josiah. All she could do was wipe away her tears and gently pat Lysander’s shoulder in an attempt to comfort her. 

Lysander stood under the midday sun. For the first time in many days, she felt alive. However, a world without her father was unbearably cold. Despite the glaring sun overhead, she still felt a chill deep in her bones. 

Susan, clutching Lysander’s hand, strolled beside her, flanked by Josiah on the other side. Along the way, she gently briefed her on the current situation. 

“Your mom couldn’t bear the shock. The sight of your dad’s remains was too much for her. She was overwhelmed with grief and fainted. Your sister is now mature enough to handle things. She is currently accompanying her in the lounge, waiting” 

Lysander mechanically nodded, not even clear about where she was heading. 

Josiah purposefully walked ahead to open the door for them. As they were passing the steps, he cautioned, “Be careful” 

Instinctively. Lysander lifted her leg at the sound of his words as if her soul had already taken the lead. It wasn’t until she actually stood in the mourning hall and saw her father’s portrait that she regained her senses and stumbled forward in a rush of emotion.
