Chapter 380 Not Your Mother

Adrian asked, “Hasn’t he reached out to you?”

Lysander gently stroked the soft fur of the little white dog. “Why would he reach out to me?”

“I thought, at the very least, he would have said something to you.”

Lysander remained silem, continuing to play with the little white dog.

“Forget it. Let’s pretend I never said that.”

“It’s quite late, and it’s hard to drive when it’s dark.”

With a helpless smile, Adrian rose to leave. “I understand what you’re saying. It’s just that every time I confess my feelings to you, your attitude seems to turn rather indifferent.”

“Dr. Sutton, I’ll be honest. I don’t have much experience dealing with situations like this. The best I can do is try not to give you false hope.”

Adrian gave a nod. “All right.”

“If my behavior has hurt you, I’m truly sorry. I’ll be moving out this weekend.”

By then, Adrian had already reached the door. “We’ll talk about it later.”

Lysander never expected that those words could actually have a different meaning.

During her midday break, she received a call from Daphne.

“When I went to deliver the local specialties to your parents, I think I saw Josiah’s car,” Daphne said.

“Where did you see it?” Lysander asked,

“In the residential area. When I arrived, I happened to see him lugging loads of packages upstairs. I decided to wait for him downstairs, probably for a little over an hour, before I finally saw him come down.”

Lysander asked, “What about those things?”

“He took the things down with him.”

Hearing that, Lysander let out a small sigh of relief.

Daphne also felt somewhat frustrated. “Your parents are really stubborn. I just don’t know what they discussed in that one hour. I’m worried that if your parents see Josiah, they might get angry. It would be terrible if they were upset to the point of harm.”

“Did you check on them?”

“I did.” Daphne could barely contain her joy. “Rest assured, your parents are doing just fine, and Michelle is also doing well.”

With a subtle smile, Lysander gently said, “That’s good, then.”

Chapter 380 Not Your Mother

“What is it?”

“It seems that b*tch’s mother is on her last legs! It might sound immoral to say this, but who knows if the b*tch’s skewed values have anything to do with her mother’s teachings? Wasn’t it mentioned before that her mother was always sick and frail? It won’t be surprising if she doesn’t make it through this winter.”

A buzz filled Lysander’s mind. “What exactly happened?”

“I’m not quite sure… Why are you so worked up? She’s her mother, not yours.”

Lysander paused for a moment before saying, “Daphne, I have to hang up now. Something’s come up.”

“Huh? Aren’t you on your lunch break?”

“I need to go check on something.”

“All right, then. You carry on with your work.”

After hanging up the phone, Lysander immediately called Josiah.

The phone rang on and on before it was finally answered.

“Lysander?”

“How is Lysanne’s mother doing?

Lysander’s tone held a certain urgency that left Josiah somewhat bewildered, but he still answered, “I was just about to discuss this with you. Mrs. Thorne’s condition suddenly worsened, and she’s been unconscious ever since. The doctor’s prognosis isn’t promising, suggesting we prepare for the worst. Given the urgency of the situation, I came back first. Mrs. Thorne has been kind to me, and if anything were to happen, Mr. Thorne wouldn’t be able to handle everything on his own. I had to come back to help.”

“She was confined to a wheelchair due to her leg condition, right? Were there any other illnesses? Why did her condition suddenly worsen?”

“There were many technical terms I didn’t fully understand. However, based on the doctor’s words, it appears that she has suffered a significant trauma in her early years, which has severely stimulated her brain, resulting in neurological paralysis. This time, it seems to be a similar situation to the previous one, but it appears to be even more severe…
