Chapter 224 You Made The Right Decision
When Lysander went to work in the morning, the sight of Daphne at the entrance of the hospital surprised her.

Today, Lysander didn’t have to hold clinic hours, nor were there any surgeries scheduled, so she brought Daphne into her own office.
Daphne said, “I thought about it all night, and I can’t let Harry continue like this.”
After listening to Daphne’s lengthy explanation, Lysander finally understood her meaning.
Harry personified the phrase “taking advantage of the vulnerable” to the fullest extent. The first victim, Daphne, lost her future. The second victim, Priscilla, sacrificed her physical and mental well–being and might even end up losing the rest of her life. Now, a third victim had emerged.
“She’s only two or three years older than I was back then, and she clearly looks like a decent girl, who wouldn’t be able to withstand the tricks of an old hand like Harry. Moreover, once he succeeds, Priscilla would inevitably have to divorce. By then, the ones who would be hurt are the two girls. Once the child in Priscilla’s belly is born, she would be forced to be tied to this scumbag for life, truly losing not only herself but also half of her assets.
Lysander nodded. “I understand what you mean, but this matter will have to wait a bit longer.”
Daphne became anxious. “What are we waiting for? If we wait any longer, I’m afraid he’ll get that lady from the Stone family pregnant too!”
“Take a seat first. Listen to what I have to say.”
Daphne was still anxious. “Lysander, we can’t let him harm other ladies anymore. We really can’t delay any longer.
“Actually, I spent all of last night thinking about this matter. Our thoughts are actually the same. Both of us want Priscilla to end up like me back then, to get rid of the child and severe all ties with Harry.”
“Right! The farther away she is from people like Harry, the better.
“But if Priscilla is unwilling, no matter how much we persuade her, it’ll all be in vain.”
“Have you spoken to her?”
“I’ve said it more than once. I even went against the obstetrician’s guidelines, advising her to terminate the pregnancy, but she rejected all my suggestions.”
“Could she still be in love with Harry?”
“I can’t say for sure whether she loves Harry or not, but what I can confirm is, she loves children very much.
Daphne shook her head. “Lysander, I really don’t understand. A child who hasn’t been born yet is just a clump of cells in the stomach Can you really love them this much? To the point of disregarding your own happiness for the rest of your life?”

secrete a substance that naturally binds the mother with attachment and boundless tolerance toward the child.”
Daphne bit her lip. “Just like the old you…”
Lysander shifted her gaze, lowered her head and chuckled. “We’re talking about Priscilla, no? Why are we talking about me instead?”
“Even though I don’t understand these things, I also know that to make the decision to have an abortion, unless one is driven to utter despair, it is extremely, extremely difficult.”
“Yeah.” Lysander licked her lips. “So I can really empathize with Priscilla’s reluctance. If I hadn’t done it back then-”
Daphne interrupted her abruptly, “There are no ifs. You made the right decision.”
“Yes, I know.”
Daphne howled and slumped. “What should we do then? Are we just going to watch Harry go and mess around with a third girl?”
“Of course not,” Lysander said softly. “Daphne, I have a solution. But just the two of us might not do, so I need you to step in and find someone.”
“All right, just say who it is you want.”
Lysander whispered softly, “Josiah
