Chapter 299 The Red String

So, at that time, the news of Lysander’s marriage abroad had probably reached home, and only then did Josiah finally give up, agreeing to the arrangements made by Old Mrs. Guerra. Or perhaps, it’s simply because of my

name…

“As a result, Old Mrs. Guerra has quite an opinion about Lyss. She always feels that it’s Lyss who’s been leading Josiah on, neither accepting nor refusing his advances, giving him hope but unwilling to openly be with him. Hence, Old Mrs. Guerra has some prejudice against Lyss.”

Lysander smiled without saying a word.

That’s probably not really a prejudice.

From Aiden and Miles, Lysander also learned some things about Lysanne when she was in school, both. openly and secretly.

Even if she wasn’t leading Josiah on, she was definitely keeping him as a rebound.

It was a pity that back then, Josiah was willing to be a rebound. Elisa, however, was a true iron lady. It only made sense that she could see through the little tricks of a girl aged seventeen to eighteen.

Molly returned to the country, she reconnected with Josiah. But Dr. Thorne, Lyss really had no intention of disrupting your family. She has always considered Josiah her best friend since childhood. She had no idea that Josiah had feelings for her. You must believe me. I really am telling the truth…”

continued, “Later, you married Josiah and had children. Lyss’ marriage failed, and after she

Lysander chuckled, then nodded. “Okay.”

Seeing her agree, Molly relaxed slightly. “It seems my husband was right! You truly are a kind-hearted and benevolent person, Dr. Thorne! No wonder Josiah likes you!”

Lysander said, “Mr. and Mrs. Thorne, I won’t be getting back together with Josiah as I’m about to go abroad. However, considering the relationship between Josiah and Lysanne, even without love, the familial bond that has been there since childhood would still exist. You don’t need to worry too much.”

“We originally thought the same way, but Josiah is really stubborn this time. His grandmother, who raised him since he was a child, couldn’t even utter her last words because of Lyss. And his child, also because of Lyss, was lost for no reason. Dr. Thorne, Josiah is sincere toward you. Can you give him another chance?” Molly said urgently.

“Mr. and Mrs. Thorne, I understand your love and concern for your own daughter, but does that mean you can ignore other people’s daughters? I am also my parents’ beloved daughter, and they would not allow me to repeat the same mistakes.”

Molly cried anxiously, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry, Dr. Thorne! I didn’t mean it that way! I was just worried and spoke without thinking. I-”

Howard’s voice suddenly changed, his gaze unbelievably fixed on the red string on Lysander’s wrist. “Is this yours?

“May I have a look at it?”

As Lysander usually had to undergo surgery, she was basically not wearing any jewelry.

This red string was given to her by her parents when she was a child. They said it could bless her with safety.

She was preparing to go abroad, and her parents were quite worried. As such, she brought it with her, which could provide some comfort to her parents.

Lysander said, “This red string is just the common type sold outside. My parents bought it for me, for safety, good luck-”

She gasped halfway through her sentence when she felt a sudden tight pain on the wrist.

Molly was also somewhat excited, tightly grasping the red string on her wrist and carefully examining it up close.

With her wrist painfully constricted, Lysander could only go with the flow and lift her wrist to let Molly take a closer look.

“Please loosen your grip, Mrs. Thorne, You’re hurting me…”

“Lyss… You are Lyss…”

Howard was shocked beyond words. After confirming the red string, he looked up at her, his eyes filled with tears as he stammered, “Y-You…”
