    “How are you getting there now?” asked Daphne.


    Lysander: I don’t want my parents to find out that something has happen I to me. They’ll worry.


    “So, what do you want to do? How can I help you?”


    Lysander lowered her head, preparing to type, but after a moment of thought, she put down the cell.


    phone.


    Then, she pointed at the smartphone that Daphne was holding in her hand.


    “You want to use mine?” asked Daphne.


    Lysander nodded.


    Daphne handed her the cell phone. “All right, you can use it.”


    Lysander typed out a message, then flipped the phone around to show it to Daphne.


    Daphne furrowed her brows, deep in thought for a moment, before firmly nodding her. “All right, let’s


    do it this way. However, you have to give me a few days to sort things out.”


    Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.


    Daphne turned her head and asked, “Who is it?”


    “Lysa, I’m worried about you. I want to see you.” It was Molly’s voice.


    Daphne had also heard it. “It’s that b*tch’s mother. Do you want to meet her?”


    After some thought, Lysander gave a nod.


    Understanding the situation, Daphne walked over and opened the door.


    Molly still remained in her wheelchair, but Lysanne was pushing it, not Howard.


    Molly’s eyes were red as if she had just been crying. Lysanne lowered her head, gently wiping her


    mother’s tears with a tissue. “Mom. It’s okay, don’t cry, Look, Dr. Thorne is indeed awake now.”


    Overwhelmed with emotions, Molly patted Lysanne’s hand. “Yes, it’s good that she has woken up.”


    Daphne’s gaze swept over the mother and daughter. “What brings you two here?”


    There was a hint of appeasement in Lysanne’s gentleness. “My mother has always been concerned


    about Dr. Thorne, insisting oning to visit her. Ms. Everhart, please allow my mother to have a


    few words with Dr. Thorne. We’ll leave as soon as we’re done talking, I assure you.”

    Daphne didn’t allow it. She nced toward the door and asked, “Josiah, where are you?”

    “Come on in as well.”


    Josiah raised an eyebrow. “Why the sudden change in attitude tow.rd me?”


    Daphne spoke bitterly. “Considering that you risked your life to say Lysander this time, I’ll let you off


    for an hour. However, I’ve learned my lesson now. Your wife and mother-inw, one has a


    concussion, and the other is in a wheelchair. If anything happens in the ward, I won’t be able to


    exin. It’s better if youe in and keep an eye on them to avoid any unexinable situations


    later.”


    Molly felt a bit upset. “Ms. Everhart, you’re a good friend of Dr. Thorne, aren’t you?”


    “Yes, I’m her best friend. We’ve grown up together since we were kids, closer than most sisters. Is


    there a problem?”


    “No, no, I’m just happy. Knowing that you’ve been by Dr. Thorne’s side as a friend brings me great


    Daphne furrowed her brows, turning to look at Josiah, “What is your mother-inw implying? I’m not


    quite understanding.”


    Josiah was also a bit puzzled. “Mrs. Thorne, have you met Lysander before?”


    “I…” Molly’s tears began to fall like rain, but she tried her best to control herself. “No, I don’t know


    her. It’s just that I think Dr. Thorne’s name sounds like Lyss’ and felt a strange connection. Seeing


    her hurt caused me pain, too.”


    Daphne chuckled. “Mrs. Thorne, you really don’t need to. Even though Lysander and your daughter.


    share simr pronunciation in their names, their actual names are different, as are their


    personalities and characters. It’ll be best not to confuse the two.”


    Molly expressed, “I apologize. Our daughter, Lyss, was indeed na?ve in the past. Her father and I


    spoiled her, leading her to make many mistakes, including offending Ms. Everhart. I apologize on


    her behalf. I’m truly sorry.”


    “No need, you’re my elder. I can’t ept this. Besides, she didn’t do anything wrong to me. The one


    she wronged was Lysander.”


    “Yes,” Molly responded softly. “You must know by now that Lyss has been gued by nightmares


    recently. Her mental state has been fluctuating. This is all a punishment from the heavens. She has


    fully acknowledged her mistakes now. When she heardst night that Dr. Thorne was missing, she


    insisted on helping. Nothing could stop her. She just wanted to atone for her sins, to do something


    for Dr. Thorne.”


    Daphne cast a nce at Lysanne.


    Lysanne’s eyes were also tinted red. Her lips pursed as she hung her head low, fighting back the


    urge to let the tears flow.
