His Beloved Ex-Wife (Lysander) novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311 I Only Have One Request

Molly said, “Back then, the private investigators told us that given your your age, if we still couldn’t find you after going to such lengths, there was a high chance you were kidna, ed by someone with malicious intentions, waiting to demand a ransom from us. But we waited and waited without a single call from the kidnappers. There was no news of you, and you vanished without a trace Three months later, the police told us that your chances of survival were extremely slim and urged us to accept the reality”

She continued, “I reckoned that perhaps after you got lost, you met with some incident or suffered some injury that made you lose your memories and forget your identity. At that time, you were already four years old and knew who your parents were and also our house number. As long as you were alive, with your intelligence, you would definitely find a way to contact us, call the police for help, or ask a kind stranger to phone us. But there was no news of you at all. We both thought that you were already…”

She couldn’t go on speaking anymore, clapping her hands over her face and bursting into tears.

Just then, Howard returned. He rushed over and gathered his wife into his arms, coaxing softly, “Don’t cry. Don’t cry anymore. Lysa is back. This is a joyous occasion. Why are you crying?”

Molly clung to her husband’s shoulder and cried uncontrollably. “It was my fault… I didn’t take good care of Lysa…

While comforting his wife by patting her back, Howard was also teary-eyed. He said in a choked voice, “What other questions do you have, Lysa? I answer them for you. Let your mother rest for a bit. All these years, she has been blaming herself every day for what happened to you and almost took her own. life several times. If it weren’t for my timely intervention and later adopting Lysa from the orphanage to give her a source of emotional support, she really wouldn’t have been able to hold out.”

Lysander’s hand that held the cup of coffee trembled slightly, causing its contents to spill out a bit.

She snagged a few tissues and wiped the coffee on the table.

“I have one final question.”

“Ask away.”

“Did I know Josiah when I was young?”

“We only moved next door to the Guerra family a year after we adopted Lyss. Josiah was thrilled when he found out we moved in. He specifically came over, saying he wanted to see you and that you both had some sort of agreement. Ever since then, he has been very close with Lyss, caring for her meticulously from childhood to adulthood.”
