His voice wasn’t loud. In fact, it wasn’t enough for Adrian on the other end of the phone to hear.

Caught between the two of them, Lysander couldn’t help but feel a wave of annoyance. She had already encountered enough trouble recently and neither had the time nor the inclination to waste energy on such trivial matters.

While on the phone, Adrian sensed her silence and took the initiative to ask, “Did you go to see Josiah again?”

“No, it was a chance encounter.”

Lysander said, “Anesthesiologists are in high demand, both domestically and internationally. I just think that if you could continue your medical career, no matter where you are, you would be able to help a lot more patients.”

Adrian’s laugh had a touch of melancholy. “I understand what you mean. I’ll try to call you less in the future.”

Lysander opened her mouth, wanting to deny it, yet she found herself unable to utter words that would contradict her heart.
