The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 540 Seeing A Bandit

Lysander hadn’t expected her father, who had just been so vehement in the café, to so quickly start persuading her.

“Dad…”

“You will always be my daughter, but instead of keeping you trapped here, I’d rather see you live a better life. You’ve suffered too many injustices in the past. I gave them the three conditions to prevent them from looking down on you. That adopted girl who used to bully you is not a good person, but they’ve lived with her for so many years that it’s inevitable they might be soft–hearted toward her. You’ve already been at a disadvantage once because of her, and I fear their indecisiveness might cause you to suffer again.”

Maverick was a rough and simple man who didn’t put much thought into his own house–buying process. However, when it came to his daughter, his considerations ran deep, fearing even the slightest oversight.

In the face of such profound paternal love, all words became feeble and insignificant.

Lysander didn’t want to dash his hopes. So, choking back tears, she agreed.

When Maverick and Lysander returned to the ward, Michelle and Laura had already been anxiously waiting for them for quite some time.

Laura was standing by the window, her gaze fixed on the view below. She was so engrossed that she didn’t even hear the door opening behind her.

Michelle’s eyes lit up as she lay in her bed. “Mom, Dad and Lysander are back!”

As Michelle spoke, she instinctively tried to rise to greet them, nearly forgetting that she was still nursing her injuries.

Lysander quickly rushed over and gently pushed Michelle back down. “You need to lie down now!”

Michelle noticed their reddened eyes, her worry evident as she asked, “Lysander, why have you been crying? Did those two people bully you? Also, Dad…”

With a puzzled look, she gazed at Maverick, unsure whether to voice her lingering question.

Maverick had never shed a tear at home before. At that moment, stubbornly keeping his pride, he said, “I’m fine. Let’s not bring up those two, especially that b*stard who hurt your sister. I’ll hit him every time I see him!”

Lysander knew that Maverick was afraid Michelle might notice he had been crying. So, she covered for him, saying, “It’s nothing. The wind outside is strong. It made his eyes sting.”

Michelle was uncertain, but due to her trust in her sister, she didn’t ask too many questions.

Laura had a rough idea of what was going on, but she chose not to expose them. Instead, she asked, “How did the discussion go?”
