His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Are You Regretting It?

As Josiah thought about the child, sorrow swept across his face.

Susan teased him with a cold gaze, “Who are you pretending to feel such pain for?”

Josiah breathed deeply, confessing, “Mom, that child is also mine.”

“Haha! Finally, you realize!” Susan retorted.

Josiah continued, “L… I was late. Perhaps… If I had arrived earlier, the child could have been saved.”

Susan responded with cold certainty, “You couldn’t have saved the child. Lysander was already in despair, reaching the point of no return. She resorted to this extreme measure, wanting to sever all ties with you. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made such a decisive decision.

Upon hearing Susan’s words, Josiah felt like an invisible hand gripped, tore, twisted, and squeezed his heart. He pounded his chest hard, exhaling heavily and contemplating. Yes. Lysander laid out her intention outside the hospital that day.

She never wanted to see me again, hence this decisive choice Even if I had arrived in time to prevent the abortion, her heart was already dead. She would inevitably make the same decision again.

Susan asked, “Let me ask you one question, Josiah Does Lyss’ baby have anything to do with

you?”

“Of course not! She was already five months pregnant when she returned to the country, and we hadn’t seen each other since she went abroad,” Josiah immediately denied it.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Susan listened to his words, not feeling very pleased. With a hint of a mocking smile on her lips, she asked Josiah, “So, you sacrificed your baby just to become a stepfather to someone else?”

Josiah remained silent while clenching his fist tightly at his side.

Susan continued, “Josiah, this is a decision you made yourself. I hope you consider whether it’s truly

worth it.”

Ring, ring, ring.

Josiah’s phone lit up, revealing Lyss’ caller ID.

Susan asked, “Is it Lyss?”

“Yes,” Josiah confirmed.

Susan suggested, “Then answer it.”

Josiah decided otherwise and promptly hung up, asserting, “I had everything arranged when I left in the morning. She shouldn’t have any problems.”

Despite his assertion, the phone rang again. Josiah hung up once more, but the third call came in

Susan helplessly waved her hand and demanded, “Answer it. She might keep calling if you don’t pick up. I get a headache as soon as I hear the phone ring.”

“Then I’ll turn my phone off,” Josiah proposed.

“Don’t. If you turn it off, Lyss might come over directly. I don’t want to see her for now,” Susan insisted. It seemed she had known Lysanne’s, temperament and character for a long time, predicting her actions directly.

Josiah frowned as he uttered, “I’ll go out to answer so as not to disturb you.”

“Suit yourself,” Susan replied.

Josiah turned and left, making his way to the living room.

“Why did it take you so long to answer the phone? Who are you with now? A man or a woman? How many people are there in total? Are you not answering the phone because you’re afraid I’ll find out something?” Lysanne’s accusations came flying as soon as Josiah answered the call.

He remained silent, prompting Lysanne to demand, “Speak up, Josiah! Answer my questions!”

Josiah stayed quiet as Lysanne accused him, “What’s the meaning of your silence? You’re feeling guilty. aren’t you? Are you going to see Dr. Thorne again?”

Finally, Josiah responded, “Yes! I came to see Dr. Thome. Are you satisfied with my answer?”

Lysanne erupted in anger, exclaiming. “I knew it, Josiah! How dare you sneak around to see another woman! You pursued me for over twenty years, begging me to be with you!”

Josiah retorted sharply, “I didn’t beg you! You were already married and pregnant abroad, and I alread had a wife. Soon, we will both have children. I’ve made peace with the idea of moving on from you!”

Lysanne playfully teased, “Oh, if so, why did you choose to divorce and be with me in the end?”

Josiah was momentarily speechless, grappling for an answer.

“Doesn’t it mean you still can’t let go of me?” Lysanne pressed on.

Josiah responded with a bitter chuckle.

“Why are you laughing? Are you regretting it?” Lysanne asked eagerly, her tone a mix of curiosity and frustration.
