However, Josiah suddenly felt that something was amiss.

"It's hard to say. He might have done it on purpose. The balls that puppies usually play with are typically made of rubber. Who would buy a yarn ball for a dog?" Lysander remained silent.

Uncertain about Lysander's stance, Josiah timidly asked, "Are you really okay?" The fall Lysander had just taken was indeed quite, sudden. Her face had landed directly onto his chest, and he could still feel a faint ache there. Lysander was likely in more pain than he was from the fall.

With these thoughts, he rose to his feet and took two strides toward her to grip her arm. "Letsee your face." Lysander turned her face sideways. "I'm fine." Josiah gently grasped her chin, turning her face back toward him. He studied her features closely for at moment, his furrowed brow easing slightly. "You look fine. There's no swelling." Lysander fell silent for a moment.

"I'm not swollen either." Lysander looked up. "I just took a fall. Of course, I'm not swell." Josiah was still studying her profile, oblivious to what she was implying: "What?" Swell....

Suddenly, he realized what she meant. He had the slight urge to retort but was mostly taken aback. Het gently chided, "Your pun joke is dry." Lysander gently pushed his hand away, softly inquiring, "Tellhonestly. How did you get this wound?" Josiah knew he couldn't hide the truth from her. He took a deep breath and confessed in a low voice, "Actually, I wasn't entirely lying to you. I forgot about the wound on my head when I was taking a shower and ended up getting it wet. I only realized when it started hurting." Lysander glanced at the area she had just bandaged. "You're tellingit started bleeding after getting wet?" I was afraid my wounds weren't severe enough for you to open the door." 1/3 Chapter 567 Dry Pun Joke Lysander was rendered speechless.

Finished "I wasn't planning on doing anything in particular. I just wanted to cand see you. We've been inseparable lately, from the twe spent in Apex City to our stay at the resort.

I just wanted to be with you, even if we don't talk. You can do your thing, and I do mine. That's perfectly fine by me." After hearing that, Lysander fell silent for a brief moment.

Josiah explained further, "I know it was wrong to deceive you. I apologize." Lysander was at a loss.

Regardless of everything, Josiah had helped her a lot, both overtly and covertly. If she were to lose her temper at that moment, her reaction would resemble someone burning the bridges.

"Josiah." "Yes, I'm listening." "Ever since I planned to take over Thorne Constructions and Energies, you've been by my side, assisting me. I'm deeply aware of this favor." Josiah gave a hum of affirmation. “I have no intention of exploiting gratitude for personal gain. Just like I said before, I won't pressure you anymore. Our relationship can remain as is. You can still useas you please. All I want is for you not to be so resistant toward me." Having dealt with him for quite stime, Lysander was honestly getting a bit weary. She calmly lifted the collar of her nightgown, but her arm was still held firmly in his grasp. "Let go offirst. I need to get something." Cautiously, Josiah asked her, "What is it? Lethelp you." Lysander glanced toward the coffee table. "My phone." Josiah's hand was still wrapped around her waist.

You- "I won't bother you. You can just pretend I'm not here." "So, you're just going to sit there? Aren't you going to feel bored?" Out of Lysander's sight, Josiah curved his lips into a smile and asked, "You make a good point. Can I watch. the television, then? I'll put it on mute." Lysander was engrossed in her phone, searching for information. Hearing that, she simply replied, "Do as you please." The remote control was placed on one side of the couch.

He was so considerate that Lysander couldn't even nitpick at him.

Finished Lysander opened the file, her eyes scanning the dense sea of numbers in the report. She felt a headache coming on, and for the moment, she becoblivious to Josiah's presence beside her.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Lysander glanced up to find that the first half of the ghad ended, and commercials were now playing on the television.

She looked up at the right moment and asked, "When are you going back? It's getting late. I'm planning on resting soon." The Ragdoll kitten on the couch had already had a nap.

Josiah pondered before replying. "There's still the second half to go! Watching only half of the match feels weird." "Don't you have a television at home?"

"I do, but I haven't watched it since I setup bought it. It hasn't even been set up yet. By the tI get it up and En running, the match will be over." Lysander asked, "When will the match finish?" "Assuming nothing unexpected happens, it should end around ten o'clock," said Josiah, glancing at his 2.
