Chapter 691 Indebted To You
Tiffany had been repeatedly snubbed by Josiah, which had noticeably soured her expression. She then managed to force a faint smile and said, “Well then, Jose, we’ll take our leave for now. We’ll come to see you again tomorrow.
Following Josiah’s thoughts, it would be best if they didn’t bother him again. However, a significant event would happen the next day, and they surely couldn’t do without them. Therefore, he simply acknowledged with a nonchalant hum.
The group then left the health center in a bustling manner.
The night sky after the rain was clearer than ever before. Glancing up, one could almost mistake the not–yet–full moon for a complete one.
Lysander murmured, “Unknowingly, I’ve already spent a month here.”
The day she first arrived, the moon in the sky looked just like that. Initially, she thought she was all alone, never expecting that Josiah would suddenly appear by her side.
If she were to adhere to her past mindset, she would rather have a ghost to accompany her than Josiah.
Josiah seemed to see right through her thoughts and asked, “If I’m disturbing your moon viewing, I can stay in the consultation room. However, I’m a patient now, Dr. Thorne. You should at least arrange a ward for me.”
The dorm was for the girls. He had already once accepted the nurses‘ favor. This time, he was content as long as he lived closer to Lysander. Moreover, if he stayed in the front yard, he would be able to detect any suspicious activity immediately.
The way Dillon and Tiffany parted so swiftly, the situation surely couldn’t have been that simple.
Regaining her composure, Lysander replied, “There are no wards available, but I can arrange a hospital bed for you. A woman who just gave birth here has just been discharged, so if you don’t mind, you could stay here for a few days. Don’t worry. The bed has been properly cleaned and prepared.”
In the eyes of a doctor, patients were not distinguished by gender. By the same token, hospital beds were not segregated by gender either, especially when the only patient requiring hospitalization at the moment was losiah

In response, he powered through and said, “All right, then.”
Finished
Lysander looked at his expression, akin to that of a martyr, and couldn’t help but shake her head in resignation.
“All right. I was just speaking off the cuff earlier. There’s a folding bed in the front office, made up of a bedding set I bought from the town. It’ll be fine for a temporary stay. Hospital beds are in such high demand that they need to be left available during the day for the elderly and children who come in for injections. I can’t possibly offer you one.”
“That’s true…” Josiah remembered the heap of items he had left in the car and hadn’t had time to bring over. He stood up and said, “You rest well. I’ll make a trip back to the car.
He had merely feigned severe injury in front of Dillon and Tiffany to gauge their reactions. After they had left, there was no need for him to keep up the act.
Upon seeing him rise, Lysander naturally stood up and said, “I guess I’ll tag along. After all, those things aren’t just for your use.”
Even though it was a minor issue, it was still necessary to make things clear.
Naturally, Josiah understood Lysander’s intentions. With a bitter smile, he said, “I thought that even if you couldn’t forgive me, you could at least accept my efforts. However, it seems that’s still not possible, huh?”
“I’ve told you before. What’s in the past is in the past. I just don’t want to owe others a favor.” Lysander calmly explained to him. “Moreover, you’ve already done more than enough for me. If this continues, I’m afraid it might become a habit, which won’t be beneficial for my future life.”
Once something became a habit, it wasn’t so easy to change it anymore.
Lysander searched her heart and questioned herself inwardly. If I hadn’t clung to the memories of my failed marriage in the past, perhaps when the truth was revealed later, the pain wouldn’t have felt as if I was tearing my own flesh and blood.
There was no need for further explanation because Josiah already had a clear understanding.
“I’ve promised Mr. Thorne I’ll do my utmost to take care of you, whether you accept me or not. If I can’t even handle this minor matter now, wouldn’t that make

me a person who breaks promises?”
His tone was casual, yet his gaze fell into Lysander’s eyes, brimming with an anticipation he couldn’t hide.
Fire:fed
Getting someone who could remain ever so calm and composed to reveal such an expression was no easy feat.
Lysander thought back to Josiah’s past demeanor, and with a slight sigh, she said, “I thought you would have given more consideration to the relationship between your family and the Lanister family. With things having turned out this way, wouldn’t it be difficult for Madam Susan?”
Someone had to take care of these matters.
After a moment of serious contemplation, Josiah explained the pros and cons, as well as the cause and effect of the situation.
“Friendship? I treated it as such, but they took it as a license to commit all kinds of crime, doing whatever they pleased under the banner of Guerra Group. For both public and personal reasons, I can’t possibly let Dillon continue to wreak havoc like this.”
Lysander understood his intentions and silently nodded in agreement.
When Josiah saw that she had no objections, he half–jokingly added, “Actually, my mom wasn’t too pleased about my impulsive decision to agree to an arranged marriage. Even though she didn’t say anything, I could tell.”
Lysander seemed lost in thought and said, “Madam Susan really has a keen eye for people. She probably realized that Tiffany was no ordinary person a long time. ago.”
“There’s no such thing,” said Josiah seriously. “She just likes you more.”
His gaze burned intensely as he looked at Lysander.
Unaware, Lysander averted her gaze and continued to walk away. “I’m leaving.”
Josiah thought she was going out to move things and quickly caught up with her, saying, “I can go alone.”
“I’m not trying to snatch with you.” Lysander paused to explain, “I plan to visit Mr.

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....
