Zachary confidently stated on the other end of the line. “She’s not the one I’m looking for. Mr. Guerra, from the start. it is you that I want to talk to. I just don’t have your phone number and have no idea who to ask, so I have no choice but to call Lysander.

Then he enthusiastically added, “See, I knew I was right. Lysander must have already gone to sleep at this hour. When I called her, you answered, didn’t you? Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on finally getting what you wanted”

Josiah made no attempt to hide his annoyance and disdain toward Zachary. “You’ve gotten what you wanted. Why are you still bothering me?”

Zachary responded with a playful grin, “Of course I still need your help, Mr. Guerra. The budget has been exceeded slightly, and the project funding is a bit tight. After much thought, I realized I have to ask you to approve some additional funds.”

“You think you can just get it done as you please?”

Zachary’s objective was money. He couldn’t care less about Josiah’s contempt. Brushing him off nonchalantly. Zachary said. “Mr. Guerra, let’s not make the conversation unpleasant. We’re simply helping each other out. Since Lysander means so much to you, one can say that I’ve indirectly assisted you. Isn’t it only natural that I ask you for a small favor in return?” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hal” Josiah couldn’t help but scoff at his audacity. His voice laced with a dangerous edge as he replied, “No problem. You need funding, right? I’ll approve it for you tomorrow.”

Zachary instantly lit up with joy. “Mr. Guerra, you’re so generous!”

“If you live to see tomorrow’s sun,” Josiah added.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zachary felt the temperature around him drop significantly. He swiftly stood up and cautiously inspected the doors and windows before finally asking apprehensively, “What do you mean?”

Josiah calmly said, “I just think it’s easier to solve things once and for all. Mr. Powell, how about I just go the extra mile and send you to your good friend Harry to keep him company?”

“You…” Zachary initially thought he had Lysander under his control and could constantly reap benefits from Josiah. However, he was intimidated just after he had confirmed her importance. Zachary felt Extremely unwilling.

Although Zachary’s forehead was slick with cold sweat, he retorted, “Mr. Guerra, we’re living in a society governed by law now, so stop trying to intimidate me. Besides, if something happens to me, Lysander will definitely suspect you, won’t she?”

In a tone devoid of any emotion, Josiah stated, “I think you’re overestimating yourself. Just like how Harry vanished, you can disappear in the same way. It won’t take much effort as it’s a path well– trodden.”

After delivering his final ultimatum, Josiah paid no heed to Zachary’s rebuttals. Without any hesitation, he hung up the phone and deleted the call history before returning to the ward with Lysander’s phone in hand.

sleeping face. She seemed to be deeply troubled.

Josiah returned the phone to its original place. Then, he gently reached out, intending to soothe her worries. However, just before touching her, he chose to withdraw instead.

It wouldn’t be good to wake her up in case his attempts to soothe her failed.

Josiah withdrew his hand and returned to his sent by the bedside. Before the nurse in charge of the night. shift arrived, he already opened the door for the nurse.

It was the same nurse from earlier in the day. She couldn’t help but tease, “Staying up all night again, are

Josiah replied, “Indeed. I didn’t have the chance before, but now I’ll put in more effort.”

The nurse signed off on the form and went out into the hallway to discuss Lysander’s condition with him. specifically.

“Ms. Thome’s illness isn’t severe. It’s just a common cold and fever. Normally, it wouldn’t be much of a concern. However, her body is extremely weak, likely due to years of overworking. Her health is already deteriorating, which is why the illness hit her so hard. She must rest more in the future,” the nurse explained.

The worry in Josiah’s voice was unmistakable as he looked in the direction of Lysander. His eyes different expression now. “Can she still handle high–intensity work?”

held a

Given Lysander’s personality, she would certainly work overtime to make up for missing the conference.

The nurse repeatedly waved her hand. “Of course not. What job can be more important than health?”

Josiah nodded thoughtfully. “I will do my best to persuade her.”

On the day of returning to Harborbrook, the weather in Apex City was quite pleasant.

After several days of rest, Lysander had significantly recovered both in terms of her mental state and complexion.

Josiah seemed to have a knack for ordering takeout from unknown places. Every day, he brought a different type of soup, each not only containing medicinal herbs beneficial for one’s vitality, but also boasting a rather flavorful taste.

Previously, due to work, Lysander always ate quickly and rarely indulged in soups.

After her illness, she developed a sudden fondness for soup–making.

The moment they stepped into the terminal, Josiah extended his hand and said, “I’ll need your ID card to get the boarding passes. You should

sit down.”

The airport in Apex City was always teeming with people. Lysander shook her head, saying, “Forget it.

There are no seats left.”

“There are no seats left in the main hall, but there’s a lounge for first class ticket owners.” Josiah pointed to the side.

“I purchased an economy class ticket.”

Helplessly, Josiah said, “If I accompany you in economy class again, I’ll probably get arthritis at least thirty

years earlier.”

He swiftly took the ID card from her hand and hurried off to the check–in counter.

When he returned, as expected, her ticket had been upgraded.

Lysander knew that this amount of money meant little to him. Deciding that further discussion would be pointless, she said, “Thank you.”

The couch in the first–class lounge was indeed far more comfortable than the row of seats outside.

Josiah poured himself a glass of water. When he returned to his seat, he casually placed another glass of water in front of Lysander. Noticing that she was engrossed in her phone, he took the opportunity to sneak a peek at her screen as he passed her the water.

Just moments ago, she was chatting with Michelle on WhatsApp, but now, she was reading the financial

news.

“Is Michelle feeling better now?” Josiah asked.

Lysander nodded. “I had Lynn check on her in the ward. Her condition is not severe. It’s just that she has been afraid of pain since she was little. She must have had a tough time this time.”

“It’s good that she’s okay. Stop looking at your phone, you’ve just been discharged from the hospital. Take

some rest now.”

“I had been sleeping in the hospital for several days. Any more rest and I will be completely useless.”

Moreover, she had traveled a long way to the capital, yet she only attended the summit for one day. The rest of her days were spent in the hospital. The more Lysander thought about it, the more she felt she was at a loss.

Josiah was seated to one side. He only had to lower his head slightly to see the contents displayed on her

Screen

“It’s pointless to look at these. These are just theories. They don’t any real value for reference.”

“Is there any other way to improve quickly?”

“Follow my lead.”

Lysander scoffed, turning her head back to continue looking at her phone.

“Don’t you trust me?”

“I do. I didn’t quite gauge your abilities before, but after attending this summit, I’ve gained some insight into your position.”

Josiah expressed a hint of satisfaction at her approval. “Isn’t a one–on–one tutoring with a professional who focuses on your weak areas more beneficial than browsing through those boring slides? I’m not charging you, and I’m available all day! How does that sound?”

Lysander frowned and said nothing-

“What does that look on your face mean? Are you agreeing to it or not?” Josiah demanded.

Lysander turned her phone screen toward him and pointed at the small blue square icon at the bottom right corner of her phone. It was a speed dial for the police’s number.
