When Josiah was on the phone, Lysander was right next to him.

Seemingly worried she might overhear, Josiah didn’t speak much throughout the journey and merely hummed in response.

Over the past few days, Lysander had shed too many tears, but she could probably guess what had been said on the other end of the phone.

Despite the heart–wrenching sorrow that still lingered within, she could no longer shed a single tear.

After ending the call, Josiah hesitated for a moment before slowly crouching down in front of her. Gently taking her hand, he said, “I know how much you miss Mr. Thorne. But with the rising temperatures these past few days, if we continue to delay… Don’t worry. I can arrange for Mr. Thorne’s body to be temporarily stored in the morgue. Once you’ve calmed down a bit, I’ll make further arrangements…”

The morgue was shrouded in a chilling darkness, making it the most despair–inducing place within the funeral home.

Maverick had always loved the hustle and bustle of life. He was not fond of places that felt lonely and cold.

Naturally, Lysander couldn’t bear to let her father remain in such a place. Her voice trembling, she said, “No need for that. Let’s hurry. Are the arrangements at the funeral home today or tomorrow?”

Today,” Josiah said somewhat reluctantly.

“All right. You step outside for a moment. I’ll join you shortly after I change my clothes.”

If Maverick were to see her in such a haggard state, he would undoubtedly be worried. She had to make herself presentable in order to bid him his final farewell.

The luggage from the spa resort had already been delivered by Skylar. She selected the most plain set from it. After a quick freshening up, she unsteadily pushed open the door to the ward.

Josiah was standing by, waiting for her. Seeing her pale face and her entire body leaning against the wall, looking as if she might collapse at any moment, he walked over and supported her.
