Chapter 145 That Child Is Not Mine
Without thinking. Lynn spoke up in defense of Lysander. “When Old Mrs. Guerra was rushed to the hospital previously, it was Lysander who attended to her. Old Mrs. Guerra had a lot of trust in her, and they’ve always had a good relationship…”
“I am the Dr. Thorne you’ve been looking for,” said Lysander.
With a disapproving wave, Lynn exclaimed, “Dr. Thorne!”
Lysander reached out, pulling Lynn back toward her and positioning the latter behind Adrian. Understanding the gesture, Adrian shielded Lynn with his body.
Upon hearing that, Leo immediately rolled up his sleeves. “Really? So you’re the one seducing someone else’s husband? You do look pretty good, but have you no shame? Today, I must teach you a
lesson…
As he spoke, his fist had already descended.
“Leo, don’t make a move…” However, it was ultimately too late for the middle–aged couple to intervene.
Given Leo’s impulsive nature, once he made a decision, there was no turning back. It was unlikely he would heed any advice.
The swing of his fist in the air created a whooshing sound.
“Dr. Thorne!”
“Lysander!”
Everyone held their breath. Adrian was ready to retaliate, but Leo’s fist stopped just a few centimeters away from Lysander’s face.
Leo was completely taken aback. “You… Aren’t you going to dodge? Do you realize that if I land this punch, you’ll lose a few teeth?”
“Dare you?” snapped Lysander.
Astonished, Leo stopped in his tracks. “What did you say? You think I wouldn’t dare? Today, I’ll show you what I’m capable of—”
His fist was once again raised high, but just like the last time, it halted in mid–air.
Lysander remained perfectly still, simply watching him with a cold gaze.
Leo suddenly felt embarrassed, his entire being filled with rage. “You must be up to something! With the kind of person you are, I bet you have set a complete trap for me! Is there someone around here filming? Or are you waiting for me to hit you so you can extort money from me? Oh, I get it, you’re a doctor. You’ve got connections in the hospital, you can easily get a fake injury assessment, and then you can demand an outrageous sum…”
Lysander replied, “You’re aware of my relationship with Josiah, so you should also know that asking you for money would be beneath me. I’d rather go directly to Josiah. I might even get more from him.”
Immediately, Leo pointed at her and said to the middle–aged couple behind him, “Do you two see that, Uncle Howard, Aunt Molly? Her true colors are showing, aren’t they? This woman is only after Mr. Guerra’s money!”
“If I were after money, Lysanne wouldn’t have even been able to step foot into the Guerra family.”

Leo said angrily. “The only reason Mr. Guerra ever took interest in you is because your name sounds the same as Lysanne’s. You’re nothing more than a stand–in! Now that Lysanne is back, you should have quietly left! Knowing full well that Lysanne is pregnant, you still yet cause trouble. You’re just jealous! You’re jealous. that Lysanne has been the recipient of Mr. Guerra’s unwavering love for ten years, and is about to bear his child.”
“Hah!” Lynn, having held back for quite some time, finally lost her temper. “Enough is enough. Dr. Thorne has been trying to be courteous to Lysanne because there are
ers present today. As for who the father of the child in Lysanne’s belly is, why don’t you ask her yoursell?”
As the truth threatened to be revealed, Leo became somewhat flustered, “What are you talking about? My aunt is in poor health. If your baseless rumors upset her and something happens to her, you’ll be entirely responsible!”
Lynn bit her lip, resentfully saying, “I wonder, who’s the one spreading rumors here?”
“Leo… Molly spoke up.
“What’s the matter, Aunt Molly?” replied Leo.
“What did the young lady just say? Isn’t the child Lyss is carrying Josiah’s?”
“Of course it is. Who else’s could it be if not Mr. Guerra’s…”
Just at that moment, the elevator doors nearby slid open and a tall figure strode quickly toward them. “That child isn’t mine.”
