Chapter 518 Not Wanting To Break Promise
The expression on Tiffany’s face changed instantly.
However, Josiah <b>had </b>already left, carrying Lysander without even looking back.
Upon returning to her room, Lysander was still gued by a severe headache.
The moment the room door swung open, she staggered to her feet, struggling to keep her bnce. She pushed the bathroom door open and was immediately engulfed in another bout of violent retching.
Seeing her in such distress, Josiah immediately pulled out his phone and began to make a call.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
Lysander turned on the faucet and rinsed herself off before asking him, “Who are you calling?”
<ol start="911">

“I don’t need an ambnce for something so minor. Let’s not waste medical resources.”
Josiah looked at her, remaining silent for several seconds.
He disagreed with what she said, but he had no choice but to follow her instructions.
Lysander walked out of the bathroom and headed to the living room, where she sat down on the couch to
rest.
Josiah pulled out a few sheets of paper and sat down next to her. He gently wiped the sweat from her forehead. “What exactly is going on? How did you suddenly be so unwell?”
“Perhaps I’ve been too worn outtely.” Lysander wanted to take the tissue from Josiah’s hand, but he wouldn’t allow it.
“Stay put. I’ll handle this,” he said.
Lysander was truly in distress, <bcking </b>the energy to argue with him
Josiah said gently. “This doesn’t seem like a case of low blood sugar It’s too severe for that. Did you eat something that didn’t agree with you?”
Lysander replied irritably. “I had dinner from your hotelst night. Mr. Guerra, is the food hygiene at your hotel up to standard?”
“I’ll have the hotel’s food and beverage department conduct a self–inspection.”
Lysander waved her hand dismissively.
Based on her experience, she concluded that her illness probably wasn’t due to eating spoiled food.
There was no need to further trouble the workers.
“So, what do you <b>think </b>is the reason?”
Lysander’s eyes flickered briefly, then she looked downward. “I’m not sure. Let’s wait and observe a bit longer. It might improve soon.”

“Should we go to the hospital?”
“My parents and Michelle are all at the hospital right now. If my dad sees you, he’d probably want to beat you up on the spot.”
“Let him hit, <b>then</b>.” Josiah stood up, ready to help Lysander up. “Your health used to be <b>so </b>good. You could even pull several all–nighters without any issues. However, after one trip to Apex City, you’ve had the flu and a fever, and sinceing back, you’ve started experiencing unexined dizziness and vomiting. What on earth is going on?”
“Who knows<b>?</b>”
Holding her hand, he paused slightly, a faint tremor in his grip. “Could this be theplications from the improper post–abortion carest time<b>?</b><b>”</b>
Lysander pulled away from his grasp and settled herself on the couch to rest. “No. Daphne took really good care of me.”
Due to perspiration, her stray strands of hair were stered on her forehead. Not to mention, they were recently further tousled by a tissue, causing her to appear disheveled.
She felt a gentle,rge hand tentatively brushing away her stray hairs, neatly tucking them in <b>ce</b>.
“Are you feeling any better?”
“<b>Yes</b><b>.</b>
“You know how to diagnose through palpation, right? Why don’t you try it on yourself and see what’s wrong?”
Upon hearing that, Lysander slowly opened her eyes.
Josiah <b>asked </b>anxiously, “What’s the matter?”
“Where’s Aurora?”
“I had Daphne look after him first.” Josiah understood her intentions. “I’ll go bring the child back. Can you manage on your own?”
“Sure.”
Josiah poured her a cup of hot water and ced it on the coffee table, then swiftly picked up his phone and left through the <b>door</b>.
Roughly after ten minutes or so, Josiah returned cradling Aurora with one hand and another carrying a bag.
The moment Aurora saw Lysander, he broke intoughter and squirmed restlessly in Josiah’s arm, insisting on being held by Lysander.
Josiah pulled her closer into his embrace, giving her a little rub before handing the bag he was holding to Lysander. “Whether it’s a case of low blood sugar or not, <b>you </b>should have one first.”
Only then did Lysander clearly see that Josiah had brought back a bag of Jolly Rancher lollipops, not to mention in loose packets.

“Does this upscale hotel actually sell this?”
Josiah’s expression was a bit odd. “Yes.”
Lysander found an original–vored one, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth.
“Where’s Daphne?”
“She’s gone back, saying she’d return once Nieva had descended the mountain.”
Lysander nodded. “What about Tiffany and Lysanne?”
At the mention of those two individuals, <b>Josiah </b>hesitated for a moment before replying, “I’ll soon announce a joint statement with Riveron Corporation to break off my engagement with Tiffany.”
Lysander remained silent.
It was as if Josiah could see through her thoughts. He softly said, “Having been through it once<b>, </b>I won’t be deceived a second time.”
Suddenly, Lysander became a bit curious. “Who are you talking about?”
“You know who I’m talking about.” Josiah said. “Take a good rest today. You can start learning again. tomorrow. After all, I’ll always be here. There’s no rush.”
“So, you really aren’t nning on going back to work during this period?”
“I’m staying where you are. I made a promise to you to be at your beck and call twenty–four–seven. This time, I don’t want to break my promise again.”
Lysander asked, “What if I decide to go back to being a doctor in the future?”
“In that case, I’ll pick you up and drop you off from work,e rain or shine, just like before.”
“What if I were to go provide medical services in rural areas?”
“How long will you be there?”
“A minimum of two years usually.”
Without a moment of hesitation, Josiah said. “I’ll go with you, then.”
Lysander chuckled softly. How could a man like him, who has lived a life of privilege all his life, possibly adapt to such harsh conditions? He won’tst more than a few days.
That night, Lysander had a particrly restless sleep.
Throughout the night, she was jolted awake several times by her dreams, which featured either a bloody showdown between cops and robbers <b>or </b>a grand escape through the desert.
Every time she woke up, she was always covered in a thinyer of sweat.
After a seemingly endless night, she still felt somewhat drained as dawn broke.

“Who is it?”
A very gentle and sweet female voice rang out. “Room service.”
Lysander slipped into her clothes and got out of bed to open the door.
Outside the door stood a young female server, who was pushing a small cart. “Ms. “Thorne, here’s your breakfast,”
“But I haven’t ordered breakfast yet,” Lysander said, taken aback.
“Mr. Guerra ordered it. Ms. Thome, may Ie in?”
Lysander nodded, stepping aside to clear the doorway.
The server methodically arranged the tes from the small trolley onto the dining table. The assortment of dishes was an eclectic mix of Ecroniaur and Epean cuisine, featuring both vegetables and meat dishes, offeringprehensive and bnced nutrition.
“This is too much. I can’t finish it all. It’s wasteful.”
The waitress chuckled and said, “Mr. Guerra also mentioned that if you can’t finish your meal, just leave it. He’ll take care of itter.”
“Where is he now?”
“Oh. He’s just discussing some business <b>matters </b>with a business partner next door. Would you like to go
over?”
Lysander shook her head. “No, thank you.”
“You’re wee. By the way, Mr. Guerra also instructed me to deliver <b>this </b><b>to </b>you.”
