Initially, these words seemed somewhat inappropriate. But for Lysander, they were exactly what she needed to return to her senses.

Lysander gently pushed Josiah away, Resting her hands on the railing, she looked up at the night sky and said, “Thank you.”

Josiah mumbled a response.

After a brief pause, Lysander managed to hold back her tears. She said, “I need you to promise me something. Pretend you didn’t hear anything tonight. Don’t mention it to anyone.”

Josiah nodded solemnly. “Okay, I’ve taken note. What are you planning to do next?”

“Let life take its course. Since Dad wishes that our family will be happy, I’ll choose to accompany him through the final stages of his life in the way he wants. As long as he’s happy, nothing else matters to me.

Lysander had already prepared for the worst–case scenario.

That night, Josiah spent a considerable amount of time with her on the terrace. It was only after she retreated to her room that he made his way back home.

Both of them spent the entire night without a wink of sleep.

The following morning, Josiah rose early in the morning. He accompanied Susan to visit the Thorne

manor.

Noticing how eager he was, Susan couldn’t help but tease him before they even entered the door, “If only you had put in half this effort earlier, you wouldn’t be in such a mess now. Regretting it yet?”

Without any pretense, Josiah directly admitted, “Yes, I regret it. That’s why I’m doing everything I can to make amends.”

He carried the breakfast that Susan had prepared at home. Following his mother, he entered the Thorne

manor.

As expected, Lysander and Maverick were already up. They were chatting just like a family. After the candid discussion the night before, the two families were getting along quite well.

He could clearly see that Lysander’s eyes were red.

Even when she was smiling, her eyes didn’t reflect her joy. Although she was burdened with worries, she still had to put on a brave face in front of her father.
