His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 406 Visiting Susan After Ines left, the house was momentarily engulfed in silence.

Gazing at the table full of food that had already gone cold, Laura let out a sigh. "I'll go heat up the food." Maverick was about to reach for his cigarette again when Lysander grabbed his hand. “Dad, stop smoking Maverick scoffed, "Guerni Group?".

A sense of heaviness settled in Lysander's heart, but she remained silent.

"I was just wondering, who would want to use that remote area in our residential compound? Turns out it was Josiah Lysa, Josiah wants to demolish the place, and he's relocating us to a place not far from your hospital. Is this because of you?" Lysander lowered her eyes. "I guess so." "Is he still bothering you?" "He used to." "So now, he suddenly stopped the demolition and brought in people from another company. Has he given up, then?" Lysander recalled their conversation in the hospital stairwell and nodded.

With a flick, the lighter burst into flame..

Before Lysander could intervene, Maverick lit up a cigarette and held it between his lips. "I promise you, this is the last one." Laura reheated the food once more, and everyone had a bit to cat.

However, by the end of the meal, not much of the food had been touched.

Laura took her daughter's hand. "How about this? Let's not worry about buying a house. The one we're renting now is quite nice, and it wouldn't be bad to continue renting. Plus, if we decide not to buy a house, we should receive scompensation, right? Even though it might not be a lot, you can take it for now. When you get married, it can be used to make a down payment with your future husband." Maverick remained silent, continually smoking his cigarette.

Laura gave Maverick a meaningful look. “Maverick, say something." Maverick sighed. “Your mom does have a point. If it really comes to it, we can just continue renting. It's not the end of the world." At night, Lysander stayed at home.

The rented apartment only consisted of two bedrooms and a living room. Since Michelle was living on campus and not at home, she slept in Michelle's room.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, Howard sent her a message: Lysa, did you have a fight with Josiah? 1/4 22:48 Mon, 3 Jun Chapter 406 Visiting Susan After sthought. Lysander responded: No.

Howard: Then why hasn't he been answering my calls? Lysander: Perhaps he's busy. Is there something you need? 37% Howard; it's nothing serious. I'm just a bit concerned about Josiah's mother and wanted to inquire about her situation Lysander: With Josiah around, Madam Susan should be well taken care of.

Howard: I know. I'm sure I can count on Josiah to do the right thing. Given our long-standing relationship between the two families, it's only right that I should pay a visit too. But I'm tied up and can't make it. Could you possibly spare stto go there tomorrow? Lysander had just spoken harshly to Josial. It was clearly not the best tfor her to show concern for his mother. She got in touch with Eleanor instead.

The last twhen Susan had a sudden bout of high blood pressure, she and Eleanor had exchanged phone numbers. This was so that if anything were to happen to Susan in the future, she could get in touch. with her quickly.

It cin handy at that moment.

Upon hearing of her impending visit, Eleanor was elated. "Oh, wonderful! Madam Susan would surely be thrilled to see you." "Eleanor. Josiah... will not be htomorrow, right?" Eleanor was taken aback. “Mrs. Guerra, aren't you coming with Mr. Guerra?" "No.

"Did anything happen between you two? Are you upset with each other? I get it. Did Ms. Lysanne from next door say something again? Listen to me, Mrs. Guerra, Mr. Guerra really has no connection with her anymore. If he did something to upset you, cback and tell Madam Susan. She will talk to him...

Lysander rubbed her temple, feeling a headache coming on. “Eleanor, let's just see how things go when I get there tomorrow." "All right, I'll go grocery shopping tomorrow morning and cook you something delicious." Lysander ended the phone call.

Although Eleanor didn't provide a precise response, she had gleaned sinformation.

At that very moment, Josiah was not at home.

Moreover, it was unlikely that he would return the next day, given that Eleanor was completely unaware. The following morning, she purchased sfruits and supplements, then hailed a taxi to the old house. Susan appeared to be in good spirits. "I wasn't burned. The fire was mainly next door. It didn't reach our side. But the blaze was truly intense quite a frighter sight to behold." 2/4 37% Chapter 406 Visiting Susan Lysander peeled an orange for her. "It's good that you're okay. You should try to keep your emotions stable in the future. If something like this happens again, let Eleanor call 911 for help. If the fire becomes too dangerous, leave the house with Eleanor immediately. Don't worry about your belongings. Your safety is the most important thing." Susan looked at her expression, her face filled with satisfaction. “All right.” "How has your blood pressure been recently?" "I've been taking my medication consistently and it's fairly under control. However, it seems that the recent cold weather might have caused a slight increase. I was planning to consult my doctor about whether there's a need to adjust the dosage." "Have you been keeping track of your blood pressure lately?" "It's all noted down. I had Eleanor jot it all down in a notebook." "Givethat notebook of yours. I'll ask the cardiologist about how to adjust your medication. That way, you won't have to keep making trips to the hospital." Susan was increasingly pleased. "Sure, thank you." "It's no big deal" "Ah, it's t truly wonderful to have a daughter by my side. You're so gentle and considerate. Who knows where on earth my son is.

Eleanor had already brought over the notebook. "Madam Susan, you can't really blMr Guera After all, Mrs. This still in the hospital. He has to keep vigil there for Mrs. Guerra; he's just showing his concern for her. Susan was a smart individual. She took a quick glance at Lysander's expression.

Seeing her face as still as a calm lake, she knew the situation probably wasn't very promising.

She smoothly changed the subject with a laugh. "Lysander, how's your mom doing?" Lysander said, "The doctor mentioned that the recovery is going well, but rest is still necessary."

Susan gently advised, "I was aware of the incident when you went missing back then. Your mom was once a om very capable woman, but losing you left her blaming herself for most of her life, draining her of all vitality. She was careless and failed to take good care of you, but that was never her intention. She's had a hard tover the years... "Right, I understand." "You're a perceptive child. You understand many things on your own, so I won't belabor the point. Eleanor, how's the meal coming along? Is it ready to be served?"

Eleanor replied, "The ingredients have been prepared long ago. We're just waiting for your word tostart m cooking. Given the cold weather, the food would cool down quickly if left out, so it's best to cook it fresh on the spot. "All right, let's have the chef start, then," Susan said, holding Lysander's hand.

However, Eleanor and Susan insisted on holding onto her, making it difficult for her to forcefully depart.

The dishes were promptly served and Susan led her to the dining room.

Just as she was abour to pick up her cutlery, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Susan was somewhat perplexed. "Who could it be at this hour?" Send Gifts 398
