    “What do you mean?”


    “It’s nothing.”


    “You… Forget it. I don’t need to bother with a mere anesthesiologist like you. Where’s Lysander? Did


    she run


    off?”


    Howard and Molly, behind Leo, persistently tried to persuade him. “Leo, Leo…”


    “Aunt Molly, Uncle Howard, you’re just too kind–hearted. Others are bullying Lysanne. I must stand up


    for her!”


    Seeing their persuasion was ineffective, Howard and Molly had no choice but to step in themselves.


    Howard made sure his wife was settled before he slowly approached Adrian. “I’m sorry, Doctor. Leo is


    just overly worried about Lysander. Could you tell me how my daughter, Lysander, is doing now?”


    At first nce, Howard and Molly clearly hailed from a respectable household


    Despite their simple attire, they were appropriately dressed and spoke with great politeness. Yet, he


    was visibly anxious.


    Adrian’s demeanor softened a bit as he answered truthfully, “Your daughter was in a critical condition


    due to her advanced stage of pregnancy. After our best efforts to save her, she is no longer in danger.


    However, she still needs to be hospitalized for observation for a while.”


    Upon hearing those words, Howard visibly rxed. “I’m d to hear that. That’s good.”


    Molly spoke with difficulty, reminding, “The child… Ask about the child…”


    Howard quickly asked again, “Doctor, what about my daughter’s unborn child?”


    “I’m sorry. We couldn’t save the child.”


    “Ah…. The child’s gone…” Howard’s eyes instantly welled up with tears. “Why was Lysanne so


    impulsive? T–The baby was almost due. How heartbroken will Josiah be if he finds out…”


    Upon hearing that, Leo became agitated again. “You failed to save the child? That child wasn’t just any


    ordinary child. He was the heir of the Guerra family! Do you think you can just say you couldn’t save


    him, and that’s the end of it? If your hospital doesn’t provide an exnation, this matter won’t be


    settled!”


    Lynn’s anger intensified as she listened to Leo. She couldn’t help but retort, “Well, why don’t you just


    call Mr. Guerra, then?”


    “You think I wouldn’t dare? If Josiah shows up, none of you will have an easy time!”


    “Go ahead and call him, then! It’s about time Mr. Guerra takes a good look at his child to let him see for


    himself the skin tone of his heir.”


    “That’s enough, Lynn,” Lysander called out to stop her.


    Lynn frowned, clearly displeased. “Dr. Thorne! We should ask Mr. Guerra toe over and take a look.


    Then, we’ll see if this guy can keep up his. smug demeanor.”

    “Today is Grandma Elisa’s funeral.”


    Lynn’s expression subtly shifted, and she fell silent.


    News of Elisa’s passing had widely spread throughout the hospital.


    Firstly, it was because the Guerra family was indeed reputable, and secondly, it was because Elisa’s


    death was rather distressing.


    Elisa was already on her deathbed, preparing herst affairs. However, Lysanne suddenly barged in


    and caused a scene. Consequently, it was unclear whether Elisa passed away peacefully or was


    literally infuriated to death.


    Though no one dared to voice their opinions, everyone had their own thoughts on the matter.


    Moreover, since Lysanne had caused a scene once when Susan was receiving emergency treatment,


    so Lysanne was considered a “repeat offender.”

    Susan had messaged Lysander the night before to inform thetter that Elisa’s funeral was that day.


    Susan wanted to inquire whether Lysander could attend the funeral since Elisa was fond of Lysander


    while she was alive.


    Since Susan had to stay in the hospital for observation for the next few days, Josiah had to handle the


    funeral by himself. She feared the funeral home would be too dested, and Josiah would be


    overwhelmed by the matters to attend to alone.


    After much contemtion, Lysander still decided to refuse.


    After all, she was no longer the Guerra family’s daughter–inw. Hence, attending the funeral wouldn’t


    be quite appropriate.


    However, she had already made ns. Once the funeral was over, she intended to make a solitary visit


    to the cemetery to spend some time with Elisa.


    Susan seemed to have mentally prepared herself to receive such a response from Lysander. She


    sighed twice, not insisting further, but merely said, “The death of Josiah’s grandma has a great impact


    on him. He might not be able to be with Lyss in the future.”


    Lysander pretended not to understand Susan’s implication and simply responded, “You should take


    care of your health first. Let the youngsters deal with it themselves.”


    As astute as Susan was, she didn’t press on since Lysander refused to touch the subject after her


    probing. They exchanged a few pleasantries before hanging up the phone.


    repeated


    Lysander had initially thought that after Elisa’s incident, Lysanne would live in peace for a while, at least


    until the birth of her child. Unexpectedly, Lysanne came to cause amotion at the hospital entrance.


    Adrian knitted his brows and said, “I really can’t understand what’s going on in this woman’s head. Is


    she so determined to ruin your reputation that she doesn’t mind risking her own life? Isn’t this just


    hurting herself more than it hurts you?”


    Lysander shook her head, simrly baffled. Her interactions with Lysanne weren’t frequent, and their


    conflicts were only over the position of Mrs. Guerra. Since she had gracefully stepped back, not even


    demanding a penny from the Guerra family, logically, the conflict should have ended there. However, it


    seemed like Lysanne harbored an intense animosity toward Lysander as if that matter concerned


    significance beyond theirpetition for a man’s affection.
