Chapter 10 Can We Go Back To The Way We Were?

Daphne was shocked. “What?”

“It’s only been four weeks since I found out.”

Daphne remained silent.

Lysander gently placed her hand on her abdomen. “I was planning to tell him about it on his birthday as a birthday gift for him. Now, it seems like it might not be good news for him.”

Feeling somewhat sympathetic, Daphne advised her, Actually, it’s not necessarily bad. Lysanne is pregnant, too. Even if Josiah likes her, he might not want to be a stepfather. After all these years of treating you well, he might have already given up and just wanted to live happily with you. It’s just that Lysanne’s return triggered memories from their youth, causing some emotional turmoil. Once Lysanne leaves, you two might be able to return to how things were before.”

“Can we really go back to how things were?”

Daphne fell silent.

Over twenty years of unrequited love. It’s like an iceberg, only showing a tiny bit above the surface, but beneath it lay tumultuous emotions known only to myself.

In the end, Daphne said, “Let’s give him another chance for the sake of the child. If he still chooses Lysanne, then I’ll accompany you to get rid of the baby.”

The next day, Lysander had the early shift.

Josiah wasn’t there, so she took a taxi to the hospital herself.

Mornings for doctors were always busy with rounds and giving instructions based on the condition of the pregnant women. After briefing Lynn on the special cases and nursing requirements of several patients, she finally had time to return to her office for a drink of water.

As she pushed the door open, she heard her phone vibrating.

It was Josiah.

She answered, “Hello?”

Josiah sounded apologetic. “Lysander, are you at the hospital?”

“I’ve finished my rounds.”
