Chapter 317 He Got Injured
Josiah seemed surprised to see Howard and Molly there. He stood up and greeted them, “Mr. and Mrs.
Thorne.”
Molly smiled perfunctorily, her attention fully on Lysander. Her smile was slightly ingratiating as she-reached out to hold Lysander’s hand. “Why are you dressed in such thin clothes? You should havebrought a coat.”
Howard immediately took off his suit jacket. “Wear mine.”
Seeing their eager expressions and the warm suit jacket being handed to her, Lysander didn’t accept it.
Josiah raised an eyebrow slightly. “Mr. and Mrs. Thorne, do you know Lysander well?”
“We….”
“They’re hoping I can forgive Lysanne,” Lysander said. “They’re here to apologize on her behalf.”
Howard laughed awkwardly and agreed, “Yes, yes, Lysanne made some mistakes before. We want tomake amends for her.”
Josiah’s expression turned slightly cold. He stepped forward, blocking Lysander, and pushed Howard’shand with the jacket aside. In a chilly tone, he said, “I’ve made it very clear regarding Lysanne. Out ofrespect for old acquaintances, I won’t pursue it further, but that’s all. Please don’t harass Lysanderanymore.”
The word “harass” was a bit strong to use in this context.
Molly felt a sting in her heart and forced a smile. “Were not harassing her. We’re just hoping to…”
“No need,” Josiah interrupted. “Lysander has nothing to do with either of our families anymore. Shewas the biggest victim in this matter. Please don’t disturb her.”
“But Josiah, we’re also trying to help you…”
“You needn’t trouble yourselves with this. We are perfectly capable of handling our own affairs.”
Molly was taken aback by Josiah’s sudden cold attitude.
Regaining his composure quickly, Howard didn’t seem hurt but rather relieved. “Fine, then you handleyour own affairs. Don’t worry, we won’t interfere.”
Josiah’s expression finally softened a bit.
Lysander attempted to ease the tension. “How’s Ms. Lysanne’s injury?”
Howard replied, “The external injuries have mostly healed, and the rest will recover slowly. But sheseems truly frightened. She is scared of everything she sees…”

Josiah sneered. “There’s nothing to fear if you have a clear conscience.”
Lysander asked. “Have you consulted a psychiatrist?”
“We have, but there’s no definitive conclusion yet. The doctor said to keep her calm and avoidstimulating her. We’ll have to see if she improves over time.”
Lysander nodded. “The psychiatric department at Central Hospital is excellent. Follow the doctor’sadvice.
“Sure, sure.”
Molly suddenly remembered and asked. “Josiah, I heard you got injured a few days ago. Is it serious?”
Josiah cleared his throat and tried to sound composed. “I’m fine. It’s not serious.”
“Where did you get hurt? I asked your mother, but she didn’t know either because you wouldn’t tell her.”
“Just a minor injury.”
“Where are you hurt?”
“My leg.”
“Does it affect your walking?”
“It doesn’t.”novelbin
“Oh, if it doesn’t affect walking, it shouldn’t be too serious. Your mother is very worried about you. In thefuture, if you feel unwell, let your elders know so they won’t worry.”
Josiah responded with a very soft “Mm.”
