Chapter 88 The Thorn In Josiah’s Heart
After taking off her apron, Eleanor rushed to pack Susan’s belongings in her bedroom.
Meanwhile, Josiah nced at Susan, who was already seated on the sofa. Her eyes were closed,
and she was twirling a string of prayer beads, seemingly engaged in prayer-clear signs she wished
to avoid conversation with him.
Feeling helpless, Josiah sought out Eleanor, who efficiently packed Susan’s clothes and daily
necessities.
He called out softly, “Eleanor?”
“Oh, Mr. Guerra,” Eleanor promptly responded.
“Let me help you,” Josiah offered.
Eleanor replied, “No need, please sit down. I can handle it myself.”
Josiah reluctantly withdrew his outstretched hand and asked, “Eleanor, why do you seem afraid of
Lysanne?”
Uneasy, Eleanor stammered, “No… No, not at all.”
Josiah continued, “If there’s something, just tell me directly.”

Lowering her head, Eleanor smiled faintly and admitted, “Mr. Guerra, I’ve been a maid all my life.
served many families, but only Madam truly treated me like family. Even you, I consider as my son.”
“I know,” Josiah replied, understanding Eleanor’s perspective.
Eleanor replied, “Mr. Guerra, I must share something you may not want to hear today. Choosing to
divorce Mrs. Guerra and be with Ms. Lysanne might lead to regrets in the future.”
Josiah was surprised upon hearing this. He asked, “Why do you say that?”
Eleanor shared, “Mr. Guerra, themitment between two people is for a lifetime. While having
affection for someone is one thing, the ability to withstand the test of time is another matter.”
She added, “Well… Ms. Lysanne has never been a well-behaved person since her youth. Choosing
to be with her may lead to countless challenges for you and her child. I don’t mean to speak ill of
her behind her back, but I’ve always sensed that her nature might pose difficulties.”
Josiah furrowed his brows as he asked, “Do you know something?”
Eleanor-stated, “It’s not a big deal, but do you remember the chick seller at the school gate when
you were young?”
Yeah, I remember,” Josiah replied.
Eleanor revealed, “I witnessed it myself. She fought with the chick seller and proceeded to smash

was taken aback. He eximed, “Smashed them to death?!”

“Yes, that scene was truly… Even as an adult, I felt frightened witnessing it. I can’tprehend how
a young girl like her could be so ruthless. Even in an argument with the chick seller, why would she
have to take the lives of those innocent chicks?” Eleanor’s tone turned somber as she recollected
the
incident.
Josiah was utterly stunned by the revtion.
Eleanor sighed before continuing. “Honestly, it’s not a big deal. Mr. Thorne personally apologized
andpensated the chick seller after he found out about it.”
Then she shifted the focus, stating, “Mr. Guerra, Mrs. Guerra hasn’t been doing well since the
divorce and losing the baby. She has noticeably lost weight. She wasn’t really into religion before,
but she has recently turned to faith, reading Bibles, and attending church for prayer. She mentions
he wants to help that poor baby…”
The mention of the word “baby” had almost be a thorn in Josiah’s heart. It invariably brought
back the image of the blood-red lump in Lysander’s palm from that day at the hospital entrance.
The painful memory caused him to frown, and he turned his face away.
Eleanor expressed, “Mr. Guerra, Madam doesn’t expect much. She doesn’t want you to have a
strategic marriage with a wealthy woman from a respected family, nor does she insist on you
marrying someone attractive and gentle.”
“She believes Mrs. Guerra is a good match for you, and you have spent three years together
happily. It’s unfortunate to end it with a divorce. Madam can’t bear to see Mrs. Guerra undergo an
abortion, experience divorce, and now be a divorcee-all while being with
you.
