Chapter 300 Every Parent Loves Their Child
Lysander didn’t remember how she got home that day.
Laura opened the door for her, hurriedly saying, “You wash your hands first. The food has gotten cold, so I’ll go and heat it up for you.”
In the kitchen, five or six small dishes were neatly arranged, filled with various kinds of food, and a
soup.
“Mom, is all this left for me?”
Laura started the fire, working and speaking at the same time, “Yes, the three of us have already eaten. We saved some for you in advance. Why did you come back so late today? Didn’t you say you basically don’t work overtime recently?”
The range hood on the stove seemed to be quite old. It was very i
noisy.
Lysander could only faintly hear her mother’s voice, but she could clearly see her mother’s busy and hardworking figure.
Those few dishes, two of them were what Michelle liked, and the other two were what Lysander liked.
“Mom.”
“What’s wrong?” Laura raised her head, looking at her with confusion. “The dishes will be all heated up soon, so you should go wash your hands. It will be ready in no time.”
“Why do you keep staring at me? Is there something on my face? Did I just get some soot on it the bottom of the pot?”
Laura wiped her hands hastily and continued cooking the hot dishes.
As Lysander walked into the room, Maverick was sitting at the head of the bed, seemingly flippin through a bank book. Seeing her return, he hurriedly waved his hand at her. “Lysa, my eyesight is poor now. Come in quickly and help me look at this.”
It wasn’t until Lysander walked into the room that she saw Maverick holding several bank books in hi
hand.
“Dad, what are you doing?”
Maverick laughed somewhat bleakly. “Aren’t you going abroad? It’s always comfortable at home, but things will get rough once you’re out. I heard that ravioli costs hundreds per serving in Stounia. You’d better bring more money with you.”
A bittersweet feeling welled up in Lysander’s heart. She sat down next to her father and said with a smile, “Who told you that? That must be a scam.”
“I’ve never been to Stounia, so I don’t know if things are expensive there. As a woman, you must always nay attention to your cafetu when it comes to eating and accommodation Voy must stay in a better

savings.” Maverick lowered his voice as he continued excitedly, “Don’t ell your mom, though. I’ve been saving this secretly over the years.”
Lysander couldn’t help but feel a warmth in her eyes, Dad, I am a work expatriate, I have a torm, and there’s a hospital cafeteria for meals.”
“A woman like you also needs to buy some nice clothes, skincare products, and go on trips with colleagues during holidays. I’m telling you, don’t avoid group activities just to save money. You need to maintain good relationships with your peers. You are alone in a foreign country. If something happens, your parents are not going to be around, so you can only rely on your friends for help.
Lysander gently hugged Maverick’s shoulder. “Dad, Michelle still needs to go to university, so there will be many expenses in the future. If you give me all the money, what will she do?”
“Don’t worry
about this. Your sister’s matters are for me and your mother to worry about. You should focus on furthering your studies.”
“Dad, there’s a chance I might stay there after I go.”
Maverick didn’t seem surprised at all. He gently ruffled her hair and said, “It’s okay if you choose to stay there. Studying medicine is all about saving lives and healing the wounded. No matter where you are. treating and saving people is a good thing.”
“But it’s also possible that I won’t be able to adapt to the environment there, and may return.”
“That’s even better. Having acquired advanced knowledge, you can come back to contribute to the nation and the people.”
Lysander chuckled. “Dad, your ideological awareness is pretty high.”
“Have you forgotten that I am a retired veteran? All right, your mom dragged me to the supermarket today and bought a lot of delicious food. If you’re not busy in the next couple of days, come home early for dinner. Once you’re abroad, it will be hard to taste the flavors of home.”
“Dad, you and Mom sure treat me well.”
Maverick huffed. “You’re our child, after all. Every parent loves their child.”
