Eleanor hurried over, and soon, her joyous voice could be heard. “Mr. Guerra! You’re back! Come, the
food has just been served. Let me get you a set of utensils!”
Josiah crossed the living room. Lysander, keeping her gaze lowered, could still sense his eyes on her.
However, they didn’t stay on her for too long.
“Mom, are you feeling better now?” asked Josiah.
“I’m fine,” Susan gestured to the spot next to her. “Have you eaten?”
“Not yet.
“That’s perfect. Come sit down and let’s eat together.”
Josiah pulled out a chair and sat down on the other side of Susan, perfectly facing Lysander.
However, neither of them said a word to each other.
Susan exined. “Lysander came to visit me today, so she stayed to have dinner with me.”
Josiah didn’t even lift his head. He simply hummed in acknowledgment. “Mom, after dinner, could you
ask Eleanor to pack your things? I’ve bought you a new house. You’ll be moving there soon.
Susan was somewhat taken aback. “Why is that?”
“Houses made of wood are quite prone to catching fire in the winter, making them somewhat unsafe.
Moreover, the Thome manor next door also needs to carry out some repairs, which will inevitably cause
a considerable amount of noise during the construction. Given that you already have trouble sleeping, it
might be best to find another ce to stay.”
After hearing that, Susan found it reasonable and asked, “Where am I moving to, then?”
“At my area. I bought the house next door as well.”
“Your apartment?”
“Yes. It may not be thatrge, but it’s sufficient for you, Eleanor, and the chef to live in.”
Susan nced at Lysander, letting out a soft chuckle. “That works, too. After you finish work, you can
come home for dinner.”
“Okay.”
When a mother and her child were having a discussion, it was not appropriate for outsiders to be
present.
Thus, Lysander said, “Madam Susan, I’ve finished eating. It’s time for me to head to the hospital for my
shift change. Thank you for your hospitality. After I consult with the cardiologist, I will send you the
dosage. From then on, you can take your medicine ording to the new dosage.”
Susan stood up. “You haven’t eaten much, though. Why don’t you have a little more?”

“No need to rush. Josiah, could you give Lysander a ride? It’s hard to get a cab around here..
Lysander remarked, “It’s quite easy to get around. Calling Uber is very convenient now”
Susan still insisted. “Josiah!”
Josiah dabbed at the corner of his mouth with a napkin, then slowly rose to his feet. “I’ll walk you out?
“No need.” Lysander swiftly departed from the Guerra family’s old house
Indeed, trying to hail a cab there was quite a challenge due to its remote location. It was only after she
added an extra tip of twenty that an Uber driver finally epted the request
However, the journey was quite long. The system alerted her that she would have to wait for fifteen
minutes.
Lysander simply followed the small path outside the mansion, strolling leisurely as she waited.
During that time, Michelle gave her a call.
She must have heard from their parents that Lysander had returned to the country. As such, she was
thrilled at the thought of seeing Lysander and announced she would being home that very night.
After hanging up the phone, Lysander wanted to check where the Uber driver was. However, despite
refreshing several times, the location just wouldn’t update.
The page disyed tworge words: Request Canceled
Lysander frowned as she dialed the number of the Uber driver. The driver on the other end sounded
somewhat apologetic. “Your location is just too far away. The distance I have to cover without a fare is
too much. I have to consider my costs, you see. Just then. I got a closer request and I epted it. I’m
really
sorry.”
Lysander said. “If you had mentioned it earlier, I could have offered more money”
“I’ve already gone far away now. I’m sorry.”
Left with no other choice, Lysander had to hang up the phone.
She called for another car and even raised the tip to fifty, but no one epted her request.
Beep! Beep!
The honk of a car behind her gave her quite a startle.
The car window of a Porsche glistening in gold rolled down, revealing the side profile of Josiah.
“Couldn’t catch a cab?”
“It’s almost here,” replied Lysander.
His gaze was indifferent. “I’ll be leaving first then.”

Chapter 407 Separate Ways
After walking for a while, Lysander finally managed to hail a cab when she reached the intersection.
When she arrived at the hospital, she first visited the cardiology department. After rifying the
dosage, she sent it to Eleanor.
Eleanor asked, “Mr. Guerra left just a few minutes after you did. Did you two run into each other?”
Lysander said, “No, I left in a taxi. I didn’t see him.”
“Oh, Madam Susan kept urging him and hoping he could make it in time to drive you to your
destination.”
“Help me thank Madam Susan.”
When Lysander returned to the ward, Daphne and Prisci were both there.
Prisci was still feeding Molly while Daphne was engaged in a conversation with Howard.
Seeing her approach, Howard was filled with joy. “You’re here.”
“Yep. I dropped by Madam Susan’s ce this morning. She’s doing pretty well,” responded Lysander.
“That’s good,” said Howard. “I’m truly grateful for your two friends. Prisci has been bringing soup
every day, and Daphne has been keeping uspany all this time.”
Daphne waved her hand dismissively. “I’m not as meticulous as Prisci. I wouldn’t be of much help.”
Lysander said with a smile, “I’m already touched that you coulde. How about I treat you to a meal
another day?”
“Don’t. I’ve been trying to lose weight recently, so don’t even think about tempting me.”
Howard said, “You girls catch up. I’ll take a stroll in the garden downstairs.”
After Lysander saw off Howard, Prisci had also finished feeding Molly.
Once Molly had fallen asleep, the three women left the ward and found a ce to sit outside.
Daphne clearly had a lot to say. “What on earth is Josiah thinking? He’s pursuing you, yet he can’t
seem to forget his past love!”
Lysander asked, “Lysanne?”
“Yeah”
Prisci exined, “Daphne seemed really upset when she arrived today. I asked her what happened
and found out that it seemed likest night when Mr. Guerra went out for a drink or something with his
buddies, he took Ms. Lysanne with him.”
Daphne rolled her eyes. “Adrian didn’t drop a single hint. It was Zane who ended up sending me a
photo asking what was going on. How would I know what’s happening?‘
Lysander asked, “Isn’t Lysanne in the hospital due to burn injuries?”
“Well who knows?”

Suddenly, Prisci nudged Lysander’s arm. “Lysander, do you see that? Is that Mr. Guerra?”
Down the hallway in the distance, a man and a woman stood out remarkably.
The man was tall and broad, while the woman was delicate and seemingly helpless.
Josiah still held the freshly collected medicine in his hand as the two of them crossed the corridor
together and entered the elevator.
Daphne said, “I’ll go ask him what he’s thinking.”
Prisci grabbed her hand. “Daphine…”
“Prisci, don’t pull me!”
Prisci sighed, saying, “Why don’t we first hear what Lysander has to say?”
Daphne turned around and looked at Lysander. “Lysander, don’t worry about it. I’ll go get a clear
answer for you.”
“No need to ask him anymore,” Lysander said. “We’repletely over now.”
Daphne’s expression shifted several times. “What do you mean?”
“I had a final conversation with him, and we decided to go our separate ways.
