    “No.”


    “Why did youe back, then? Was the sea breeze not cool enough for you?”

    “I’m tired,” Josiah said, a weary frown on his face. “I don’t intend to interrogate you. How could I dare to


    now, when there’s a rival waiting in the wings, ready to seize the opportunity?”


    Lysander said. “I’m tired, too. Go to another cabin.”


    “I don’t dare to go. The wine in that cabin carlier is drugged, and who knows what traps await me in the


    other cabins? Your ce is the safes


    With that, heid down on the couch.


    The couch was simply too short for him. His long legs were awkwardly folded, with more than half of


    them hanging off the edge. He looked extremely ufortable.


    However, Lysander was unable to determine whether his difort was due to the couch or because


    the effects of the medicine had yet topletely wear off.


    She didn’t dare to approach, fearing she would be like amb walking into the lion’s den. She could


    only stand her ground and asked loudly, “Josiah, are you all right now?”


    His voice was muffled, a low hum emerging from his chest.


    After that, he coughed twice.


    Astutely, Lysander noticed that water was dripping down from his leg, which was resting on the armrest


    of the couch.


    His trousers clung tightly to his skin, the water slowly seeping into his shoes through the gaps.


    And from the heel of the shoe, water was steadily dripping down.


    Upon closer inspection, his suit jacket also appeared damp, but it seemed as though the mohad


    seeped out from within.


    Lysander focused her gaze and indeed, beneath the white shirt, the color of the skin was visible. It was


    clearly soaked through, clinging to the body.


    “You didn’ractually jump into the sea, did you?” she asked.


    Josiah’s eyes slightly opened to a slit. “Do you truly wish for

    my death?”


    He closed his eyes again, feigning sleep as he continued to rest. “There’s a pool on the deck. I needed


    to


    cool off.”


    “Why didn’t you take off your clothes before getting in the water?”

    “However, everyone was in the front hall attending Rina and Paulo’s wedding at the time. No one was


    on the deck.”


    Josiah threw up his hands in exasperation. “Forget it. Talking to you is going to be the death of me


    sooner


    orter.”


    Lysander retorted directly. “Then why did youe looking for me? Just to amuse yourself by getting


    annoyed?”


    “Am I not allowed to seek out trouble because I’m bored?”


    “Heh! I’d suggest you see a psychologist. Your symptoms are indicative of a ssic disorder.”


    “Sure. Everyone has their issues in this day and age,” he said nonchntly.


    “I don’t have any. I’m very healthy.”


    Josiah exhaled deeply. “You’ve lost all your emotions. You can’t fall in love with anyone, nor can you


    ept others‘ affection for you. How can you call that healthy?”


    Lysander went quiet.


    Josiah slightly sat back, feeling a bit guilty. That’s not what I meant.”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Lysander chuckled lightly. “You’re right in saying that. I really do seem like a person devoid of normal


    human emotions.”


    “Lysander, I misspoke.”


    “It doesn’t really matter.” She shrugged. “However, I don’t see anything wrong with it. Without the


    complexity of emotions, there are no expectations. And without expectations, there are not


    disappointments. Life might be mundane this way, but it brings peace of mind.”


    Leaning his head to one side against the back of the couch, Josiah gazed at her with a spellbound


    look. “Even though you haven’t really tasted the bitterness of love, why are you so pessimistic?


    Lysander, you’re not even thirty yet. There’s no need to pressure yourself like some old monk who has


    taken his vows.”
