Chapter 530 High Alert


    Lysander nced over, only to see Aurora clutching her tiny fists, yawning, appearing somewhat wronged as if on the verge of tears but not quite crying.


    Lysander resignedly closed the video, found Aurora’s small quilt and pillow, and meticulously arranged them in the middle of therge bed.


    With a gentle touch, Josiah carefully ced Aurora on the bed. Then, he climbed onto the bed himself, lying next to Aurora. He gave Lysander a look, telling her to hurry up and get in bed.


    Aurora rolled over, lifting both of her tiny clenched fists. She <b>was </b>so tired that she could hardly keep her eyes open, yet she still fussed, resisting sleep.


    Left with no other choice, Lysander took off her <b>shoes </b>and climbed up as well, lying down. side of Aurora.

    Josiah cast his gaze down at the child nestled between the two of them. Hisrge hand gently patted the tiny quilt, rhythmically and unhurriedly, each pat deliberate and soft.


    Lysander asked. “You learned how to soothe a child to sleep?”


    “Eleanor showed me how to do it, but I’ve never actually done it myself, replied Josiah.


    Eleanor’s method worked pretty well. After all, if it managed to put Josiah when he was little, it would surely be effective on Aurora, too.


    Aurora’s hums quieted down, and her eyelids grew heavy, eventually falling shut.


    Lysander hummed a luby she had once heard at the hospital. After Aurora was sound asleep, s whispered to Josiah, “Aurora is asleep. I’m leaving now.”


    Josiah was gently patting Aurora to sleep, having positioned himself carefully so as not to disturb her. He had been sitting without changing his posture for so long that he was feeling numbness in his hands and aching in his back. Thus, when he heard those words, he was unable to react immediately.


    Lysander spoke again. “Thank you for taking care of Aurora in advance. I’lle over again tomorrow. morning.”


    In a subdued voice, Josiah responded, “I left the keycard on the shoe cab by the entrance.”N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    He was afraid Aurora would cry again, so he didn’t dare make a move. He was cautious, fearing that even a slight lift of his arm might cause the mattress to shift and disturb the baby sleeping in the middle.


    Left with no other choice, Lysander had to take the longer route by getting off the bed from the other side, intending to bypass him to retrieve her keycard.


    It seemed as if Aurora could sense Lysander. The baby woke up with a soft cry just as thetter slipped into her slippers.


    Josiah promptly extended hisrge, warm, andforting hand to adjust the small nket. He gently patted Aurora, reassuring her, “Don’t be afraid. She isn’t leaving!”


    Of course, Lysander dared not leave her bed. She hastily moved back to the head of the bed, barely daring

    Josiah was tirelesslyforting Aurora throughout.


    The two adults worked together, and finally, they managed to soothe the baby again.


    Lysander lifted her gaze to meet eyes with Josiah.


    Even the sweetest angel of a baby could get quite temperamental when it was time to be lulled to sleep.


    Josiah’s voice was so soft <b>that </b>it could only be heard in such a tranquil setting. His thin lips barely moved as he whispered, “Let’s wait a bit longer until she’s sound asleep.”


    Lysander was left with no options but to gently pick up a pillow and lie dow


    fully clothed.


    Josiah waited until Aurora had drifted off to sleep before he dared to slightly shift his position. His arm was numb from fatigue, and the moment he lifted it, he felt a prickling <b>sensation </b>that was both itchy and painful.


    Once he had endured the initial difort, he unfolded the nket. With the gentlest touch he could muster, he draped it over them.


    Once Aurora appeared to be sound asleep, Lysander silently mouthed to him, “Let’s switch rooms tonight. I’ll stay here with Aurora. You can leave now.”


    Josiah retorted in the same low voice. “Are you burning bridges right now?”


    Lysander didn’t deny it and simply stretched her hand toward the door, making a gesture to usher the


    guest out.


    In the dead of night, a man, a woman, and a baby shared <b>a </b>room.


    A sense of déjà vu stirred up memories long thought to be dead within Lysander’s mind.


    Even though their sex in Apex City was unintended, she was on high alert against him.


    Josiah found himself at a loss for words. With Aurora asleep, it wasn’t appropriate for him to argue with Lysander. Resigned to his fate, he could only get up and leave.


    Just <b>as </b>he arrived by the coffee table, a sudden cry echoed from behind him.


    Suddenly, Aurora woke up, crying in agony. Her tiny face quickly turned red.


    Lysander was immediately flustered. She quickly scooped the baby up, gently rocking Aurora in an attempt to soothe her. From time to time, she would pat Aurora’s back, finally managing to calm thetter from her hysterical crying to mere sobs.


    Josiah’s n to leave was thwarted/so he returned to the bedside and sat back down where he had originally been.


    Upon seeing that there were people on both sides apanying her, Aurora gave a little sniffle and then,forted, closed her eyes again.


    Lysander suspected she had <b>found </b>a pattern and asked Josiah<b>, </b>“Do you want to try standing up again?”


    Josiah did as Lysander asked.

    Unsurprisingly, Aurora cried out even faster than before, the wailing remarkably loud.


    Lysander sighed. “What kind of habits does this child have? Ms. Lionhart raised her alone. How did she end up with a kid that can only sleep while lying between two people?


    Josiah said, “Perhaps there’s a nanny at home too.”


    “When Ms. Lionhart came over, I didn’t see her bringing the nanny along.”


    “Could it be because her mother isn’t around that shecked a sense of security and have to rely more on adults?”


    Lysander was unsure what to say to that.


    Josiah grinned. “There’s a kid here. What <b>can </b>I do? Just sleep.”


    Lysander was genuinely tired, and what he said did make sense to her.


    There was a child between them, serving as a natural barrier, ensuring <b>that </b>Josiah wouldn’t stoop to the level of a beast.


    Having understood that, Lysander felt slightly relieved. Breathing in the sweet, milky scent of Aurora, she quickly fell into a deep, blissful sleep.


    Listening to Lysander’s gentle breath, Josiah nced at the blissfully unaware baby sleeping in their arms. Suddenly, he felt as if his heart was filled with an unbelievably warm, fuzzing feeling.


    With great care, he gently pulled the nket over, covering the two figures beside him. Then, with a sense of contentment, he closed his eyes.


    The following morning, the room door was pounded on so loudly it could have shaken the heavens.


    The three people on therge bed were roused from their sleep almost at the same instant.


    Before Josiah had even fully opened his eyes, he had swiftly scooped up Aurora into his arms. Hisrge hand covered her cars, preventing her from being startled into tears.


    Lysander, groggy from sleep, sat up, her expression filled with confusion as she asked, “Who could it be this early in the morning? Did you call for <b>room </b>service?”


    Josiah regained hisposure quickly. Amidst the noise, he stated seriously, “It shouldn’t be. Room service wouldn’t knock on the door this force-”


    The harsh voice echoing from outside interrupted his displeased words. “Lysa! Are you in this room?”


    Lysander was the first to react, paling. “It’s my dad!”


    Josiah was rendered fully awake.


    “Lysa! I know you’re in there, Guerra! What have you done to my Lysa? Open the door immediately!” the voice outside shouted.


    Lysander first nced at the bathroom and the wardrobe, then directed her gaze out the window, <b>striving </b>to find a ce where a person could hide.

    Before she could say anything. <b>Josiah </b>spoke first. “We’re on the top floor. Escaping from here isn’t feasible. Besides, if I try to conceal myself, won’t it seem like I have something to hide? It’ll only make your father angrier.”


    Lysander was at her wits end. “What should we do?”


    After all, Josiah wasn’t the only one facing an issue. There was also Aurora.


    Lysander knew Maverick’s temper all too well. If he witnessed that scene, he would have surely tried to kill Josiah on the spot.


    Themotion outside had already alerted the hotel staff, with the noise growing increasingly chaotic.


    Someone stepped forward, advising, “Sir, please calm down.”


    Maverick wouldn’t stand for that. Infuriated, he said, “I’m here for my daughter, and no one can stop me! Isn’t your boss named Josiah? Tell that scoundrel toe out and see me!”
