Josiah was struggling to keep his temper in check. “Has the payment for the house been made?”

Seeing that he was unwilling to believe it, Lysander nodded and said, “Yes, I completed all the procedures. this morning.”

Josiah laughed. “How much money did he lend you?”

“Two million.””

“Two million…” Josiah licked his teeth, leisurely observing her. “Two million is enough for you to cook for him.”

Lysander didn’t feel the need to be ashamed. She looked at Josiah with a calm demeanor and countered, “Am I not allowed to?”

“Of course you are.” Josiah managed to squeeze out the next few words through gritted teeth. “But Dr. Thorne, you shouldn’t play favorites. Don’t forget there’s someone else who needs your ‘personal‘ gratitude as well…”

Lysander furrowed her brows. “Who?”

“Before, I was repeatedly coerced by Zachary for your sake. I even handed over the most profitable project of the company to him. Shouldn’t you show some sort of gratitude?”

“Since I’ve prepared a whole table of dishes. Dr. Sutton and I can’t finish it all. How about I pack some for you?” The look in Lysander’s eyes was hostile, evidence that she was upset. She cautioned, “However, I must remind you as a medical professional that you’re still sick. With your stomach condition, you should avoid getting upset. It would be bad if your condition worsens.”

With a sarcastic laugh, Josiah replied, “Thanks for the concern, but my lungs hurt more than my stomach now. I insist on calling on that debt.”

Lysander thought about the lemon butter fish on the table that was getting cold and impatiently asked, “So, what do you want me to cook for you?”

“Seafood.”

Adrian mentioned. “Perhaps seafood isn’t the best choice right now. It’s generally better to avoid it when your stomach isn’t feeling well.”

Josiah glanced at Adrian and asked, “Do you have an objection, Dr. Sutton?”

“No, Mr. Guerra. Go ahead.”

said, “Seafood is fine. Once your stomach condition has improved, I’ll find an opportunity to cook it for you.”
