The Charming Ex–Wife

Chapter 533 Lysander Is My Bottom Line

“A few months ago…” Lysander felt a bit guilty. “Dad, I didn’t deliberately keep it from you. I was just worried that you and Mom might overthink things. So, I wanted to wait for a more suitable opportunity to discuss this matter.”

“How did they manage to find you?”

“Because of the red string in my hand.”

Maverick nodded, his voice tinged with guilt. “Your mother and I didn’t tell you because we didn’t want you to overthink it. Over the years, we’ve come to consider you as our own daughter.”

“I know, Dad… I know.”

“I was aware, you know, that secrets can’t be kept forever and that you would eventually find out. But then I thought you were all grown up now, and your biological parents hadn’t shown up. I thought perhaps they already had other plans in mind. Thinking that was the case, we decided not to burden you with all this messed up information to avoid distracting you from your work.”

A feeling of heaviness instantly enveloped Lysander’s heart when she heard those words.

The secret she had been cautiously hiding was not only exposed, but it happened amidst such chaotic circumstances.

Lysander’s temples were throbbing incessantly, her stress levels nearly doubled, and she faintly felt a wave of nausea coming on.

Maverick’s expression changed instantly when he noticed her pale complexion. “Are you feeling unwell? Did that guy do something to you?” he asked concernedly.

Lysander quickly began to explain, “Dad, I’ve just been under a bit of work–related stress lately, that’s all. I’ve already seen a doctor who assured me it’s nothing serious. As for what Lysanne said-”

“Let’s not dwell on that for now,” Maverick interjected, waving his hand dismissively. “I’m just glad you’re okay. It seems like she wasn’t well–liked at your hospital. Quite a few people knew her and didn’t have a high opinion of her. Eventually, a crowd gathered, and she was escorted out.”

“I’m just afraid you and Mom would be taken advantage of.”
