Chapter 13


    Chapter 13 Without a Hint of Hesitation


    Lysander felt like she possessed a strong resilience; no matter how sorrowful events unfolded, they


    wouldn’t disrupt her sleep in the slightest.


    The typical scenario where the protagonist on a television program couldn’t sleep due to a tragic


    incident simply didn’t apply to her.


    Daphne remarked, “This is good. It indicates that you have a clear mind. If I had your awareness


    back then, I wouldn’t have stayed up all night before the college entrance exam, resulting in a


    mediocre score at a second-tier university.”


    one excelled as a top student in high school, with both of them consistently ranking in the top two


    of the entire grade.


    Either Lysander ranked first, or Daphne did, leaving the third position far behind.


    In thetter half of the third year of high school, the student in third ce confessed their feelings to


    Daphne and pursued her ardently. It wasplete with dramatic yet sweet scenes.


    How could a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl resist it? In less than two months, she sumbed


    and fell into the depths of love.


    The teachers were aware of the situation, but since both were top students, most of the teachers


    actually pleased with the situation and didn’t interfere too much.


    s were


    However, not long after, the student in the third ce proposed a breakup. It was sudden, decisive,


    and without a hint of hesitation. He was even more ruthless than the most heartless of characters.

    Daphne was deeply affected and couldn’t concentrate on her studies. As Daphne’s best friend,


    Lysander took care of her and tutored her, which consumed a significant amount of her


    energy.


    As a result, Daphne’s grades plummeted and Lysander’s own grades dropped to the top ten in the


    entire grade. The student who originally held the third position in the ss consistently ranked first


    in subsequent mock exams and eventually gained admission to Apex University.


    Nearly a decadeter, whenever Daphne brought up this incident, she would sigh sincerely and say,


    “I suppose that guy must have nned it all along. Seeing that you were determined and clear-


    headed, he couldn’t easily win you over. But I appeared foolish, so he chose me, the unlucky one.”


    Lysander consoled her. “Perhaps we are overanalyzing it. Maybe he genuinely liked you at the time,


    but upon getting to know you better, he felt it wasn’t right, and the admission was merely a


    coincidence.”


    Daphne responded, “Do you believe that?”


    Lysander believed it during her senior year of high school, but now, in her thirties, she didn’t truly


    believe it either.


    The disparity between Apex University and a second-tier university was simply too vast.


    Lysander spent nearly every workday in the operating room,pleting several cesarean sections


    with an equal mix of two girls and two boys.

    reviewed the surgical records and eximed. “It’s umon to have such a bnced gender ratio


    in a single day.”


    Due to the implementation of the three-child policy, despite the government’s repeated warnings


    against gender testing for fetuses, the final oues were still not very promising, with a


    significantly higher proportion of boys than girls.


    Lysander remarked, “I actually prefer daughters.”


    Lynn inquired. “Does your husband have a preference for boys or girls?”


    “I haven’t informed him yet.”


    “You haven’t informed him yet? Wasn’t it meant to be a birthday surprise?”


    There was a slight hup, so I didn’t mention it.”


    Lynn patted her shoulder. “It’s all right. There’s still time in the month, so you’ll have another


    opportunity in the future.”


    “Okay.


    “By the way, why didn’t your husbande to pick you up today? I even checked the parking lot but


    didn’t see his car.”


    “He


    probably had some work at thepany and couldn’t leave. Speaking of which, when is the


    deadline for that overseas assignment you mentionedst time?”


    “It’s at the end of the month. Are you interested in going? It’s a three-yearmitment, and your


    baby. will be born abroad. Is your husband on board with that?”


    After a moment of contemtion, Lysander realized that there were still approximately ten days.


    remaining until the end of the month. She still had some time to consider her options.


    “Let me think about it.”


    Lynn reminded her, “Your annual leave begins tomorrow, correct? You should make a decision


    soon. If


    choose to go, you will need to submit the application immediately upon your return from leave.”

    Lysander was surprised; she hadpletely forgotten about her annual leave.


    She had intended to utilize this time off for a honeymoon with Josiah, but now she found herself


    unable to even return to their shared home, let alone embark on a honeymoon.
