Chapter 477 I Only Want You

Lysander recoiled in fright. “What are you doing!”

From the gap between the blanket and the pillow, Josiah pulled out an item, approximately the size of a matchbox.

It seemed to be a small card.

Josiah frowned. “What is this?”

Lysander had never seen this object before. “How would I know?

“You’re telling me you didn’t know this was under your own blanket?”

“It could be that housekeeping didn’t clean this room properly. It must be something left over from the previous guest.”

Josiah held the piece of paper in his hand, lifting it to examine it back and forth. The paper itself was nothing special. On it were four lines of handwritten words.

May the heavens guide you on a smooth path.

May fate allow you to meet kind–hearted people

May the distant sunlight and the brilliant>

lights illuminate every bit of your future.

The words were written in cursive, but it was evident at first glance that it was penned by a man.

Lysander furrowed her brow. “What exactly is it?”

“Hold on a second.” Josiah flipped the piece of paper over, placing it before her eyes. “Do you recognize this handwriting?”

Lysander glanced at it, then turned her face away without uttering word.

“Judging by your reaction, it must have been Adrian who wrote it for you, right?”

Lysander said, “I have no idea, nor do I understand how this item ended up on my bed.”

Josiah held the piece of paper between two fingers, waving it nonchalantly. “He probably slipped it into your clothes when you weren’t aware. It must have fallen out when you were changing or taking off your clothes.

“Either way, I don’t know anything.” Lysander retorted. “Even if it was, it was just Dr. Sutton being kind. He knew I was going on a business trip and probably wrote this as a kind gesture of well wishes.”

“Well wishes?”

“What else can it be? Which of these sentences carries any hint of romantic feelings?”

Josiah expressed his doubts, “I get the feeling it’s not that simple.”
