Chapter 199 Can You Accept It
Lysander smiled, continuing on her way.
Zachary was incredibly uneasy, shadowing her closely. “Lysander, I’m struggling to comprehend your intentions. Can you possibly provide me with an answer so I can at least understand, even if it kills me?”
Lysander halted in her tracks, turning around to face him. “Zachary,” she began, “There are two things I need to clarify with you.”
“Sure, go on.”
“Firstly, I haven’t developed feelings for you yet. In fact, it seems like I’m unsure of how to like someone.”
The light in Zachary’s eyes slowly faded away,
That was especially the case when he heard her say, “I don’t have feelings for you.”
“However, I also want to share my thoughts with you sincerely. My parents and my sister like you very much. Mdm. Camila also mentioned this to me. I’ve been thinking about it for a few days, and I believe that if we were together, life would probably be quite good.”
The light in Zachary’s eyes, which had just dimmed, suddenly brightened.
“Secondly, and this is something I must tell you. I’ve had an abortion before.”
Zachary was taken aback. “What?”
“Not only have I been married before, but I’ve also had an abortion. My parents aren’t aware of this, but I want you to know so you can think it over carefully. If you can accept this, then let’s give us a chance.”
Zachary did not immediately respond to her.
In reality, she had also considered that. Zachary, a single man, couldn’t exactly be called elite, given his circumstances. Yet, he did have some prospects. Finding an unmarried woman wouldn’t be too difficult for
him.
There was a saying often found online–Second–hand houses were fine, but not those where someone had died.
She openly expressed herself, hoping that both parties, being fully informed, could act with sincerity and. fairness.
“If you can’t accept it, that’s okay. Just like you said, we can continue being close friends. Our parents can’t force us to do anything. Given enough time, or if we find a partner, they’ll eventually give up on this idea.”
Zachary’s throat tightened with difficulty as he spoke. “Lysander, I don’t want to deceive anyone
one out of insincerity. I’m taking this relationship very seriously, with the intention of marriage and having children for a lifetime. So… could you give me some time to think about it?”
Lysander readily agreed, saying, “Of course.”
In the end, she didn’t use the band–aid he gave her. Instead, she went home and used one from her own medicine box.
It wasn’t that she was avoiding anything in particular; it was just that the one at her home was waterproof, and she had surgery scheduled for the next day.
After more than a week, Lysander returned to her job.

Chapter 199 Can You Accept it
Lynn was dozing off on the table when she rapped her knuckles against it. “Get ready. It’s time for the
rounds.”
Startled awake from her dreams, Lynn exclaimed, “Noted!”
A week had passed. At that time, one expectant mother had safely given birth to a baby girl. Another woman. four months into her pregnancy, was diagnosed with a different illness. To protect the mother’s life, the decision was made to terminate the pregnancy.
When she saw Lysander, her eyes instantly welled up with tears. Gripping her hand, she said, “Dr. Thorne, my child is gone.”
Lysander was now capable of soothing patients calmly and gently. “I understand. It must be very hard for you right now, but it will get better with time. Once you’ve regained your health, it’s not too late to conceive again. They will still choose you to be their mother if you’re meant to be with your child.”
The pregnant woman couldn’t hold back her tears at that moment, clutching her hand as she cried out in heart–wrenching sobs.
Lysander felt somewhat relieved. It was a good thing she had used waterproof band–aids. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to withstand the onslaught of tears.
After finally soothing this patient, Lysander flipped through other medical records. As she walked, she asked. “What about Priscilla? How is she doing?”
Lynn’s expression turned peculiar.
Lysander halted. “Speak up. What happened to her? Did her mother–in–law really take her to Hestrya to find. out the gender of the baby?”
Lynn licked her lips, then said, “Her mother–in–law claimed that our hospital’s obstetricians weren’t professional enough. She knew someone at another hospital and insisted that Priscilla be transferred there.”
“Did the director also agree?”
Lynn spread her hands out. “What else can we do if they don’t agree? Harry and his mother are in complete agreement. If the director insists on interfering, divorce is the only option left.”
