Josiah didn’t utter another word. He just quietly stayed by her side.

At times like these, no one but herself could pull her out of her emotional turmoil.

“I’m not sure either.” Josiah shook his head, his voice gentle and soothing. “He doesn’t know that I’m with you right now. He says he wants to talk privately with me. Don’t worry, if anything comes up, I’ll definitely let you know.”

Recalling the secret that Maverick had painstakingly concealed, Lysander didn’t have the heart to expose it. She halted in her tracks and said, “All right.”
