    “You should go to the hospital for a gastroscopy as soon as possible to confirm your condition.


    Don’t let it get worse over time.”


    Josiah continued speaking on his own. “I’ve heard someone say before that the stomach is also


    an emotional organ. Sometimes, stomach pain doesn’t necessarily mean illness or improper


    diet as it could also be due to bad mood.”


    “You were surrounded by admirers recently, with your morous appearance and a cute little


    sweetheart who cares about you. It doesn’t seem like you’re in a bad mood at all,” Lysander


    remarked.


    Josiah furrowed his brows. “Dr. Thorne, your words can really sting.”


    “Thanks for thepliment. I’ll be even more sharp in the future, so you better note to me


    often.”


    Josiah clicked his tongue. “You use and discard people, turning your back on them.”


    Lysander immediately retorted, “When have I ‘used‘ you? Don’t talk nonsense.”


    “Didn’t you use me for Old Mrs. Everhart’s matter?”


    Lysander said nothing.


    Josiah chuckled. “What do you think I meant by ‘use‘?”


    This


    person truly never let himself be at a disadvantage.


    He was retaliate no matter what.


    Anyway, after you go to the hospital, whatever the doctor says, follow it. Don’t eat what you’re


    not supposed to. Remember to follow the doctor’s advice.”


    Josiah nodded.


    Lysander stood up decisively. “Since you’re fine now, I’ll head back. I’ve enrolled in an online


    management course this afternoon…”


    Josiah didn’t try to stop her but inquired, “Do you know about the construction summit happening in


    Apex City next week?”


    Lysander turned back and replied, “Daphne mentioned it. Seems quite grand, doesn’t it?”


    Josiah nodded in agreement, “Indeed. Many risingpanies in the construction materials industry will


    attend. It’s a great opportunity forworking. Also, they’ve invited several industry veterans to give


    lectures. It’s worth attending.”


    “But I might not understand the professional talks at such a summit.”


    He always holds himself in high regard, so if he says it was worth attending, it must be substantial. He


    patiently exined, “I’ve attended a few before. This summit is organized by the Architectural


    Association, and it includes topics like nurturing new talents in the industry. It’s suitable for neers


    towork and

    Josiah replied methodically, “If you’re really considering taking over Thorne Constructions and


    Energies, it’s worth going to broaden your horizons. At least, there’s no harm in it considering our


    families‘ rtionship.”


    “Okay, I’ll go and look for videos of past summits to see if it’s really worth attending. If it is, I’ll definitely


    go.”


    Josiah found herself unexpectedly countered by her calm retort, but rather than being upset, he


    confidently responded, “If you’re really serious about learning, it’s best to make up your mind quickly.


    The summit has always been by invitation only. Without an invitation, no matter who you are, don’t


    even think about getting in.”


    “An invitation is needed?”


    “Otherwise, anyone could wander into the venue, right?” Josiah said, “Actually, it’s not hard to get an


    invitation. If you really want to go, you can join me. My seat is in the front row. As part of my entourage,


    your seat would be closer to the main stage.”


    “I…” Lysander detected a hint of maniption and cautiously replied, “I think I should first review past


    summits before deciding whether to attend or not.”


    Josiah’s eyebrows furrowed in response. “Do you still have unfinished business here? You’ve bought


    the house, repaid the bank loan for Daphne, and with Old Mrs. Everhart’s return, her investment ns


    might be dyed. You should go to the hospital with her first.”


    Lysander still had concerns. “What about Molly? Someone needs to stay with her to take shifts with her


    caregiver.”


    Josiah nodded and said, “Once I’m done with my current tasks, I’ll visit Mrs. Thorne myself.”


    The next morning, Lysander brought flowers and went to the hospital.


    She raised her hand and gently knocked on the door of the special care ward.


    Howard opened the door, surprised to see Lysander. He was first stunned, then delighted. “Lysa,e


    in.”


    Lysander nodded, hesitating as she asked, “Is she doing okay these days?”


    On the hospital bed, Molly was lying unconscious peacefully, a testament to Howard’s dedicated care.


    “She’s much better. She heard you asked me for money, and she happily finished a whole apple,”


    Howard said cheerfully.


    Lysander nodded and instructed, “At this stage, it’s best for her not to eat too many apples.”


    “Okay, I’ve got it,” he said.


    Lysander found a vase, put the flowers she brought inside, then ced it on the bedside table.


    Molly caught a whiff of the fragrance, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.


    Feeling a pang in her heart, Lysander sat down on the chair beside the hospital bed and chatted with


    Howard for a while before bringing up her recent situation.

    out, I’ll think of something else. Do you


    have any instructions for me?”


    Sensing her uncertainty, Howard encouraged her, “I didn’t have any experience when I was


    young, but I made it through, didn’t I? These things can’t be rushed. Take it step by step.


    Besides, your mom and I are here in the hospital. If you’re unsure about anything, feel free to


    come over anytime. And there’s always Josiah. With our families‘ rtionship, he wouldn’t do


    anything too ruthless.”


    “Okay.” Lysander felt more confident and asked, “By the way, do you know about the summit


    happening in Apex City next week?”


    As the former head of Thorne Constructions and Energies, even though he had been in the


    hospital and stopped working for a long time, he hadn’tpletely forgotten his past


    experiences. After a moment of contemtion, he said, “I know about this summit. I’ve


    attended a few times before. Do you want to go?”


    Lysander pondered. “I’m not sure, Is this summit helpful for me at my current stage? I feel like


    it’s just an excuse from Josiah…”


    “What excuse?”


    Lysander shook her head. “Nothing. I just want to understand. If I go as a neer, will it be


    beneficial?”


    “It definitely will be.” Howard held Josiah in high regard. “Those who receive invitations are not


    ordinary people. And the organizer of this summit truly values nurturing new talents in the


    industry. If you go, you’ll get to know more people.”


    He knew Lysander had studied medicine and hadn’t dealt with business matters before. Thus,


    he patiently exined the importance of materials to the construction industry.


    While Lysander didn’t fully understand, she was very attentive, preparing to digest it slowly


    later.


    Lysander realized the significance of the summit from his exnation. “Okay, I’ll go take a


    look.”


    Howard fully respected her decision. “It’s up to you.”


    Lysander was about to ask if there was a way to get an invitation without going through Josiah


    when her phone vibrated.


    Seeing it was a call from Carol, she answered it in front of her father.


    Carol greeted Lysander as warmly as ever, “Ms. Thorne, I’ve arranged a same–city express


    delivery for you. It’s been sent out now and should arrive within an hour. Please take note.”
