Chapter 519 Three Days Late
The server took a few small packages from the bottom tier of her trolley and handed them to her.
Lysander realized they were sanitary pads from the brand she had always used.
The products were fresh and soft, suitable for both day and night use.
“Mr. Guerra mentioned that you might need these in the next few days, so he asked me to bring them over,” the server said.
Suddenly, Lysander recalled the conversation she had with Tiffany about buying sanitary pads in the car that day. He…
“Ms. Thome, feel free to let me know if you need anything else. I’ll make sure it’s taken care of promptly.”
Lysander took the pads over and said, “Thank you. That should be it.”
“All right. I’ll take my leave now. I’ll return shortly to collect the dishes.
“Hold on,” Lysander called out to the server. “Does your hotel sell lollipops?
The waitress was visibly baffled. “Lollipops? Do you need them? I’ll contact someone right away to buy them for you.”
“No need. I was just asking if they sell it in the hotel.”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Thorne, but we don’t sell lollipops in the hotel.”
Lysander thought. Where did that lollipop that Josiah brought back yesterdaye from?
“Ms. Thorne, would you like some ginger tea? Although Mr. Guerra didn’t specify, it’smon knowledge that girls can findfort in sipping some ginger tea during their menstruation period.”
“What’s the date today?”
“It’s the eighteenth. What’s the matter?”
Lysander mused. Eighteenth? My cycle has always been rather regr, typically urring in the middle of the month<b>. </b><b>Moreover</b>, a few days before my period started each time, <i>I </i>would experience a distinct feeling of heaviness and bloating in my lower abdomen. However, this time it has been postponed for three days, and I’m surprisingly still feeling nothing at all.
A sudden thought shed through Lysander’s mind, causing herplexion to change instantly.
Upon seeing the situation, the server quickly asked, “Ms. Thorne, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell. again? I’ll go inform Mr. Guerra right away.”
“No need. Don’t go looking for him,” Lysander said, her face pale as she shook her head. She took a deep breath before asking, “Is there a car avable to go down the mountain? Something urgent just came up, and I need to get to the hospital immediately.”
The server noticed Lysander’s look of urgency <b>and</b>, without bothering to ask what thetter was <b>about </b>to do, replied, “The bus down the mountain onlyes every hour. If you’re in a rush, I can call a cab for

Without any hesitation, Lysander agreed, “All right. Arrange a car for me. I’m heading to the Central Hospital.”
“All right, okay, I’m on it. But Ms. Thorne<b>, </b><b>are </b>you sure you don’t want to inform Mr. Guerra? He’s made it clear that we’re to report to him about any situation concerning you.”
After some thought, Lysander said, “If he asks, just tell him I went to the hospital to visit my sister.”
After saying that, Lysander returned to the room and unwrapped another lollipop, popping it into her mouth.
Fortunately, the sanitary pads reminded her of her period. Otherwise, she would’ve forgotten all about it.
As Lysander thought about it, her hands, which were folding the clothes, involuntarily shuddered, <b>causing </b>the garment she had just picked up to fall to the ground. She quickly picked it up, shook it clean, draped it over herself, and swiftly left the room.
“Mr. Guerra, we’re still in the initial stages of coboration. Why would you suddenly announce the cancetion of the engagement to the public?”
Josiah cradled Aurora in his arms, giving her water to drink while he spoke. “The earlier announcement of our engagement <b>was </b>merely a temporary solution. Rest assured, Mr. Lanister, our coboration <b>will </b>continue.
“Naturally, 1 believe you’re a man of your word. I’m just asking out of curiosity. What exactly happened that made you decide to announce this matter to the public ahead of schedule?”
Josiah softly asked, “Have you met <b>Tiffany</b>, Mr. Lanister?”
“Indeed. I appreciate how you’ve constantly looked after Tiff in Apex City, Mr. Guerra. She’s young and naive, often speaking without considering the weight of her <b>words</b>. I hope you can be patient with her, Mr. Guerra.”
“She’s not young anymore,” Josiah said. “At her age, I <b>had </b>already begun taking full control of thepany. Even though you dote on Ms. Lanister greatly, there’s no need to treat her like a child at all times. She’s no longer a child, neither in age nor in mentality.”
Dillon hesitated for a moment before asking, “Mr. Guerra, I’m not quite sure what you mean<b>?</b>”
“I didn’t mean much by it,” Josiah said. <b>“</b>Aren’t you also impatient for Tiffany to get a boyfriend, Mr. Lanister? Announcing the dissolution of the engagement as soon as possible will be beneficial for her too.”
“You have a point, Mr. Guerra.” Dillon paused before cautiously adding, “If you don’t mind me asking, have you already made ns, Mr. Guerra?<b>”</b>
Josiah nced up, his gaze slightly frosty. “What are you trying to <b>ask</b>, Mr. Lanister?”
“No, no. I’m just wondering… Since your heart belonged to Ms. Lysanne previously, I wouldn’t dare to entertain such thoughts. But now that you and Ms. Lysanne have clearly separated, there’s no longer a woman by your side. Not to brag, although Tiff may not be a nation’s beauty, she’s at least a delicate beauty. Plus, she’s well–behaved and obedient, nothing like Ms. Lysanne. Both of you are single and know each other well, so maybe you could-
Without even looking up, Josiah said, “Mr. Lanister, you’re quite ambitious, aren’t you? Not only do you aspire to be my business partner but also my father–inw?”

In a fluster, Mr. Lanister quickly rified, “No, no, I wouldn’t dare. I’m merely speaking from a father’s perspective. I’m deeply worried about Tiff’s future. We’ve spoiled her too much, and at her age, she’s still far too naive. I’ve mentioned this to you before, but I’m genuinely concerned that she might be deceived by some despicable boys. Instead of that, it would be better if she could be with you. That way, both her mom <b>and </b>I could rest easy.”
“I see.”
“Exactly, Mr. Guerra. Since you don’t have children, you wouldn’t understand the feelings of a parent. Having a son is one thing, but being a father to a daughter, it’s truly distressing.”
Josiah nced at Aurora in his arms, his smile softening a bit. “You’re right. If I had a daughter, I’d worry about her being deceived by despicable boys too<b>.</b>”
“Isn’t that the truth? s” Mr. Lanister sighed heavily. “I know Tiff is certainly punching above her weight by being with <b>you</b>. However, while Tiff may not have other merits, she’s absolutely pure–hearted, unscheming, and has a good temperament. She’s also easy to get along with. Having to face cunning and deceit in your work every day, I suppose you just yearn for some peace of mind when you return home, don’t you agree?”
Pure–hearted? Josiah gave a light chuckle.
There was a time when he thought that Lysanne was pure–hearted, albeit a little haughty.
However, those past experiences had served as vivid lessons for him.
Josiah pondered for a moment before saying, “Tiffany is indeed a wonderful girl, but we’re not a good match. Firstly, there’s a significant <b>age </b>gap between us. I’ve always seen her as a little sister. There’s ack of any romantic feelings between us. Secondly, I’m a divorcee. It would be more suitable for Tiffany to find a young man of simr age who has never been married before.”
“Divorce isn’t a big deal,” Mr. Lanister quickly said. “Once you’ve been through a divorce, you’ll understand. why your ex–wife wasn’t the right fit. It’s all a learning experience for the future.”
“Who said she wasn’t the right one?”
Mr. Lanister choked up. “I’m sorry?”

Josiah nced at his watch and rose to his feet, holding Aurora. “Let’s consider <b>this </b>matter settled. I’ll our PR department draft an official statement and send it to you. Both ourpanies can release it simultaneously. <b>As </b>for the details of our coboration, our legal department is still working on it. We’ll keep Riveron Corporation updated as soon as there’s any progress. I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t be able to <b>join </b><b>you </b>for lunch. Please, make yourselffortable.”

“May I <b>ask </b><b>who </b>that person is?”
Tiffany knows. Why don’t you ask her?”
