Lysander didn’t find it appropriate to undress him right there and then. Even if she wanted to, she couldn’t possibly manage.
When she finally succumbed to sleep, she caught whiffs of not only the familiar scent of disinfectant but also a faint hint of citrus
She also vaguely heard him muttering a few sentences.
Lysander wanted to focus and listen carefully, but she was feeling too sleepy. Unable to resist, she quickly succumbed and dozed off to sleep.
When Lysander woke up, she was startled.
Several people were in front of her, all squatting on the spot, watching her.
Two kids she didn’t recognize, and two grown–ups she was familiar with were eyeing her.
Lynn blinked her round eyes. “Dr. Thorne, you’re really back? I couldn’t quite believe it when they told
- me.
Lysander nodded. “Who are these two children?”
Lynn chuckled. “Have you forgotten? These are the twins you had from your previous cesarean section.”
Clang!
Frightened, Lynn turned around. Her expression instantly turned grim. “Dr. Thorne, why is he here too?”
Josiah looked somewhat startled. “I’m sorry. I’ll go find the cleaner to clean this up.”
Josiah turned around to leave, accidentally bumping into two relatives of patients. Then, he quickly apologized for his clumsiness.
Lynn was puzzled. “Wasn’t he quite cocky before? Why is he so clumsy now?”
Priscilla noticed something. “Him? Well, there might’ve been a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? I’m a woman. Surely he couldn’t have misinterpreted my relationship with Dr. Thorne as something more?”
Priscilla pursed her lips and let out a chuckle. “By the way, didn’t you mention taking the two kids to the pediatrics department? Shouldn’t you get going?”
“Right, right, right. I’ll go ahead then, Dr. Thorne. I’ll come back as soon as I’ve dropped off the children.”
Lysander waved her hand, urging Lynn to hurry along.
“Lysander, Is the patient inside a relative of yours?” Priscilla asked.
Mon,

“She must be a relative who’s very close to your family for you to specifically return to the country to keep her company.
Lysander didn’t really want to discuss this topic, so she asked, “How did you guys know I was here?”
“Mr. Guerra contacted me this morning, asking me to bring over two sets of breakfast.”
“Josiah contacted you?”
Priscilla gave a nod. “When I arrived, you were still asleep. Mr. Guerra was holding you so tightly that half
of his body had gone stiff. It wasn’t until I got here that he finally let you go. He asked me to keep an eye
on you
for a while as he went to fetch some hot water for you.”
Lysander had a routine; she would start each morning by drinking a cup of hot water before breakfast.
“It seems Mr. Guerra misunderstood Lynn’s words earlier.”
Only then did Lysander wrap her mind around the situation.
Just a moment ago, Lynn revealed that the two children were born from her previous C–section surgery.
In truth, she was simply the lead surgeon, having personally delivered two children.
However, such a statement could easily lead to misunderstandings, making people believe that those two kids were Lysander’s.
Lysander let out a sigh. “Let him misunderstand if he wants to. Those two kids are already four years old. Four years ago, I had just started working at the hospital. I didn’t have time to get pregnant. He should be able to figure that out by himself.”
“He’ll certainly come to realize this, but the fact that this matter could fluster him so much undoubtedly. signifies that children hold a unique place in his heart.”
A twinge of pain pricked at Lysander’s heart, but she diligently suppressed it, striving to maintain an indifferent expression. “Why do I get the impression that you’ve been singing his praises the whole time today?”
