Upon hearing that it was related to Lysander’s father, Lynn didn’t even bother to hang up the phone. She quickly searched for Maverick’s medical records on her computer, then fell into a long silence.

Lysander tigily gripped her phone, a bad feeling creeping into her chest. “Lynn?”

Lysander croaked. “Have you found my father’s medical records?”

“Yes,” Lynn responded slowly, only daring to utter one sentence. “I’ve found it.”

Lysander took a deep breath and said. “Tell me. I need to know what happened to him.”

A buzz filled Lysander’s mind, making it almost impossible for her to make out Lynn’s following words. Nevertheless, she forced herself to respond, “All right, I understand.”

After she said those words, Lysander hung up the phone with an almost mechanical motion. But her fingers slipped, causing her phone to fall to the ground. As she tried to bend down to pick it up, her vision blurred, and she almost fell over herself.

In a dazed state, Lysander’s words seemed to float in the air. “L–Lung cancer.”

As soon as she uttered those words, the already quiet night became as still as death itself.

Caught off guard, Josiah was left speechless, his throat tight with shock. He remained in this stunned silence for quite some time, unable to utter a single word.
