Chapter 537 Dad Has Your BackThis matter was also a source of heartache for Howard and Molly.
“You're right. Back then, Lysa and my wife were alone outside. The train station was crowded and chaotic, and in the blink of aneye, Lysa was gone. After my wife returned, she fell seriously ill and almost didn’t make it. It was so stressful that my hair turnedwhite overnight...”
Howard’s hair had turned entirely white, hanging by his temples. He hung his head in a sigh, his expression filled with endlessdesolation.
Maverick, also a father of two daughters, naturally empathized with the pain. His attitude toward Howard softened, but he stillsaid, “Yet, you quickly adopted another daughter, even giving her a name that sounds identical!”novelbin
The presence of Lysanne, the adopted daughter, was like a thorn that couldn’t be removed.
Howard then said in anguish, “I blame myself. I've exhausted every possible method, but | still couldn’t find Lysa. The policementioned that the chances of her survival were slim. My wife attempted suicide several times, but thankfully, she was savedeach time. | adopted a girl from the orphanage out of fear that something might happen to my wife again. Who could havethought such an incident would occur when she grew up, all because of a similar name.”
These words stirred up a profound anguish within Lysander. What? Did they just try to replace me?Josiah furrowed his brows in pain as he thought about the past.
Upon hearing this, Maverick was particularly infuriated. “Lysa is your daughter, but what have you done for her? You allowedsomeone else to replace her and even let her be bullied. You were indifferent to her in the past, and only when your familybusiness needed someone to inherit and clean up the mess did you think of her!”
Lysander noticed that Maverick didn’t look well, and she was particularly worried about his health. She quickly reached out to pathis back to help him breathe easier, fearing that his anger might lead to something serious. “Dad, | —”
“Don’t speak!” Maverick warned in a low voice. “] must help you seek justice in this matter. They lost you for no reason, and nowthey want to claim you back without any explanation. Over twenty years have passed with a single word. On what grounds?”
Howard didn’t offer any explanations, but he said with a sense of guilt, “Lysa, Maverick is right. We indeed owe you anexplanation. Maverick, for over twenty years, it’s been you and your wife who have been caring for her. | have no right to disputewith you over our daughter. | only hope that you would give us a chance to join you in taking care of her.”
Maverick’s anger slightly subsided when he heard those words. His voice then took on a noticeably more weathered tone.
“Im known for being straightforward, and that’s just how it is, I’ve raised Lysa since she was little, and she’s been mistreatedonce before. Last time, | was blind and failed to see people’s true colors. This time, | absolutely won't let Lysa suffer anyinjustice.”

Upon seeing this, Maverick could only say, “My daughter is a gem. She’s always been excellent and eager to learn, striving to bethe best. Her character is beyond reproach. Her only flaw is that she’s too naive. First, she was tricked into a sham marriage bythat b*stard, and then you two, her so-called biological parents, coaxed her into giving up her career. | just don’t understand. Youboth come from influential families. Why do you insist on taking advantage of Lysa...”
As he continued speaking, Maverick’s voice began to falter, gradually fading into a whisper.
Lysander’s eyes welled up with tears as she tightly held onto her father’s hand, attempting to cheer him up. “Dad, you rarelypraised me in the past. | remember when | was accepted into medical university, you didn’t have as many kind words to say.”
Hearing that, Maverick sighed and shook his head. “This is my fault. | thought being strict would be better for my children. | didn’tanticipate it would foster such a selfless nature in you. | truly am to blame for this.
“No!” Lysander firmly refuted. “I’m a doctor. Shouldn't | always prioritize the patient's needs? Your strictness toward me isjustified.”
Maverick said in a heartbroken tone, “In fact, you've always been the pride of your mother and me. Having a wonderful daughterlike you has always been a great honor for us. | just didn’t expect that you would be so kind-hearted as to take over their familybusiness, giving up your own career. It’s such a pity. Being a doctor has always been your dream since you were a child. Thethought of you giving up on it just pains me...”
“Dad...”
“When | found out you were accepted into Harborbrook Medical University, | was so thrilled | barely slept that night. When youlater became a doctor, | bragged about it to anyone | could. | assumed that your return this time was to further your studies inmedicine. | never expected you to give up halfway because of them.”
His words were tinged with regret, yet he couldn't bring himself to utter even half a sentence of blame toward Lysander.Lysander said anxiously, “Dad, given the chance, |’ll go back to being a doctor.”Seeing her eyes turn red, Maverick felt a wave of discomfort in his heart. He quickly lifted his rough hand to wipe her tears away.
All right, Lysa. Don’t cry. | didn’t mean anything else by my words. | simply believe that saving lives as a doctor is far more noblethan engaging in ruthless business competition for money. You genuinely love medicine. Switching careers after being anexpatriate would be a waste of your talent and the years of effort you’ve put in,” Maverick said.
“| never intended to change my career completely. I’ve thought it through. Once | get through this period and stabilize ThorneConstructions and Energies or find a reliable successor, I'll return immediately,” she
said.
Maverick was somewhat worried. “Can you really return? After you leave, the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology departmentcan’t be without a doctor, right? They’d have to bring in someone from elsewhere. By then, would there even be/a position left foryou-"

Maverick couldn’t stand the sight of Josiah.
