Chapter 86 Are You Regretting It?
As Josiah thought about the child, sorrow swept across his face.
Susan teased him with a cold gaze, “Who are you pretending to feel such pain for?”
Josiah breathed deeply, confessing, “Mom, that child is also mine.”
“Haha! Finally, you realize!” Susan retorted.
Josiah continued, “L… I was late. Perhaps… If I had arrived earlier, the child could have been saved.”
Susan responded with cold certainty, “You couldn’t have saved the child. Lysander was already in despair, reaching the point of no return. She resorted to this extreme measure, wanting to sever all ties with you. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made such a decisive decision.
Upon hearing Susan’s words, Josiah felt like an invisible hand gripped, tore, twisted, and squeezed his heart. He pounded his chest hard, exhaling heavily and contemplating. Yes. Lysander laid out her intention outside the hospital that day.
She never wanted to see me again, hence this decisive choice Even if I had arrived in time to prevent the abortion, her heart was already dead. She would inevitably make the same decision again.
Susan asked, “Let me ask you one question, Josiah Does Lyss’ baby have anything to do with
you?”
“Of course not! She was already five months pregnant when she returned to the country, and we hadn’t seen each other since she went abroad,” Josiah immediately denied it.
Susan listened to his words, not feeling very pleased. With a hint of a mocking smile on her lips, she asked Josiah, “So, you sacrificed your baby just to become a stepfather to someone else?”
Josiah remained silent while clenching his fist tightly at his side.
Susan continued, “Josiah, this is a decision you made yourself. I hope you consider whether it’s truly
worth it.”
Ring, ring, ring.
Josiah’s phone lit up, revealing Lyss’ caller ID.
Susan asked, “Is it Lyss?”
“Yes,” Josiah confirmed.
Susan suggested, “Then answer it.”
Josiah decided otherwise and promptly hung up, asserting, “I had everything arranged when I left in the morning. She shouldn’t have any problems.”
Despite his assertion, the phone rang again. Josiah hung up once more, but the third call came in

Susan helplessly waved her hand and demanded, “Answer it. She might keep calling if you don’t pick up. I get a headache as soon as I hear the phone ring.”
“Then I’ll turn my phone off,” Josiah proposed.
“Don’t. If you turn it off, Lyss might come over directly. I don’t want to see her for now,” Susan insisted. It seemed she had known Lysanne’s, temperament and character for a long time, predicting her actions directly.
Josiah frowned as he uttered, “I’ll go out to answer so as not to disturb you.”
“Suit yourself,” Susan replied.
Josiah turned and left, making his way to the living room.
“Why did it take you so long to answer the phone? Who are you with now? A man or a woman? How many people are there in total? Are you not answering the phone because you’re afraid I’ll find out something?” Lysanne’s accusations came flying as soon as Josiah answered the call.
He remained silent, prompting Lysanne to demand, “Speak up, Josiah! Answer my questions!”
Josiah stayed quiet as Lysanne accused him, “What’s the meaning of your silence? You’re feeling guilty. aren’t you? Are you going to see Dr. Thorne again?”

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....
