Chapter 532 Care About You 

Josiah had gotten himself injured, leaving Lysander with no other choice but to place the child into the baby stroller first. 

Josiah pulled out a tissue, wiping away the blood from his wound as he attempted to clarify the situation. “Mr. Thorne, Lysander and I are actually-” 

“Don’t talk to me!” Maverick retorted, pushing him away with a swift movement, afraid he might approach Lysander again. 

Josiah was pushed, stumbling, his back slamming hard against the wall. 

Lysander sighed, turning back to glance at the child. She tenderly held the baby’s tiny hand and said, “Be a good kid. Your mommy will be back soon. I have to leave now.” 

It seemed as though the baby sensed something. Her large eyes suddenly fixed on Lysander, and she was no longer smiling. 

“Let’s go, Lysa.” Maverick forcefully led Lysander away. 

Josiah was too preoccupied to care about anything else. He quickly followed the duo out. 

Maverick was already in a huff when he arrived, and when he was joined by Lysander, they both quickly made their way to the elevator. They rushed in and swiftly pressed the close–door button. By the time Josiah arrived, it was too late. The elevator doors had already closed, and the elevator was descending. 

Josiah made a beeline for the fire escape, but no sooner had he turned the corner of the corridor than Tiffany and Dillon appeared out of nowhere. 

Startled by his appearance, Tiffany managed to cover her mouth just in time to stifle a scream. 

Dillon also wore a surprised expression. “Mr. Guerra, what happened?” 

“Move aside,” Josiah demanded. 

Tiffany rushed over, grabbing his arm. She tiptoed to get a closer look at the wound on his head, concern. etched on her face. “Jose, you’re hurt. Did something happen?” 

Josiah quickly dodged her hand. “Stay away from me!” 

“Jose, let me take a look at your injury…” 

Not far off, Maverick was already leading Lysander to the entrance. 

Hearing the commotion behind him and spotting Tiffany, Maverick let out a sarcastic chuckle. “Josiah, you sure know how to replace people quickly.” 

Visibly upset, Josiah tore himself away from Tiffany and quickly dashed toward Maverick. “It’s not what you think, Mr. Thorne. Let me explain- 

“What’s there to explain? The young lady is being so intimate with you! It’s so obvious!” Maverick roared. 

Josiah only felt a breath lodged in his chest.

Sure enough, Tiffany had followed him, shielding him like a mother hen. She glared at Maverick, her eyes filled with anger. “Was it you who hurt Jose? I’ll call the police on you!” 

“Go ahead! Josiah knows where I live. Let him bring the police to arrest me!” Maverick took Lysander’s hand, and they quickly left, swiftly exiting the hotel’s grand entrance. 

Outside, a taxi was waiting, presumably the one Maverick had arrived in. Soon, Maverick had already ushered Lysander in. 

Josiah was burning with anxiety. 

“Jose, what’s with that person? Also, why is he with Lysa? What is he to her? I can’t believe Lysa would stay with someone so violent. She didn’t even say anything when he beat you up like this. You used to take such good care of her, but she doesn’t seem to care about you at all-” 

“Shut up! Josiah angrily shouted, causing Tiffany to jolt in fear, instantly silencing her. 

Meanwhile, Lysander was stuffed into the car by her father, who sternly ordered her not to move. 

This time, Maverick was genuinely furious. 

Maverick helped her load the luggage into the trunk, his indignation palpable as he said, “Josiah is relentless. He treated you poorly in the past, and he still wants to deceive you. I think he’s a cheater, and he can’t make up his mind! You should absolutely have nothing to do with such a man anymore!” 

Lysander helplessly consoled him by saying, “Dad, please calm down first.” 

Maverick’s frustration only escalated. “And you, how could you be in the same room with him? If I hadn’t rushed over, who knows what could have happened next?” 

It seemed like it would take a while for him to calm down. 

Changing the subject, Lysander asked, “By the way, Dad, how did you know I was here?” 

She had always kept this matter a secret from her family, fearing it might spark unnecessary conflicts. 

Maverick was visibly upset when the topic was brought up, speaking heatedly about the events that had transpired. 

“Yesterday, your mother and I took turns looking after Michelle in the hospital. It was all going smoothly until Josiah’s mistress had the audacity to show up. I was so furious, and I wanted to kick her out right then and there. But she had the nerve to stand in the ward, spouting nonsense in front of Michelle!” 

“Lysanne? How could she have known about Michelle’s car accident?” Lysander hadn’t anticipated that Lysanne would be involved in this matter, her heart pounding with alarm. 

Maverick held a deep prejudice against Josiah. “She must have heard it from that b*stard! It infuriates me to even mention it. If Josiah already has women around him, more than one at that, why won’t he leave. you alone?” 

Lysander didn’t think Josiah would pay any more attention to Lysanne, but in front of Maverick, she simply asked, “Dad, what did she say? Anger is bad for your health. Please take care of yourself.” 

With a deep sigh, Maverick began to speak, his face still wearing a troubled expression.

Chapter 532 Care About You 

“What good words could she possibly say? She’s incapable of saying anything nice. She was only trying to slander you. In the ward, she was making these odd insinuations about you finding your wealthy boological parents and how you’ll no longer care for our poor family. She also mentioned that you’ve managed to climb up the social ladder and that you’re back with Josiah.” 

Lysander was rendered speechless. 

“I was so angry at the time that I wanted to kick her out, but instead, she had the audacity to insult you Your mother couldn’t bear to listen and started arguing with her. But you know how your mother is, kind- hearted and not good with words, she was no match for her and ended up crying Michelle, still recovering from her leg injury, tried to get out of bed to protect your mother. In doing so, her barely healed wound reopened. In the end. I couldn’t bear it anymore and called the nurse to kick her out. She even dared to suggest that if I didn’t believe her, I should come and see for myself if you were sleeping with Josiah. I was so furious that I came over immediately. This is… Ugh! Lysa, you’ve really messed up!” 

Maverick didn’t intend to blame Lysander. Instead, his anger was directed toward Josiah. 

“Dad, it was really just a coincidence. That child had a pitiful background and lacked a sense of security. I genuinely just wanted to take care of the child a bit more,” Lysander said. 

“That’s Josiah’s scheme! As a big boss, couldn’t he hire a few midwives? Why does he have to personally take care of the child? And why does he have to involve you?” 

For a moment, Lysander didn’t know how to retort. 

“And that mistress… Maverick’s voice was filled with increasing bitterness. “Would she dare to mock your sister in her ward if she didn’t have someone backing her up? Lysa, listen to me. No matter how sweet that man’s words are, you must never fall for his tricks again. You can’t be soft–hearted. Remember, if it happens once, it can happen twice. A leopard can’t change its spots!” 

“All right, I understand.” 

Maverick exhaled in frustration. “Josiah is so influential. If he really wanted to pursue you, we ordinary folks probably wouldn’t stand a chance. But Lysa, no matter what, you need to protect yourself. Regardless of any children or not, you can’t share a room with him anymore.” 

“I understand, Dad.” 

Maverick’s gaze suddenly shifted, avoiding direct eye contact. “Also… When did you find out about your past?”
