Chapter 370 The Familiar Profile
“I couldn’t save the child,” Adrian said. “I testified in court because I was the one who tried to save her. I managed to save the adult’s life, but the child didn’t make it.”
“Was it a natural miscarriage?”
“No,” Adrian said. “I suspect it was a violent assault that led to the miscarriage.”
Immediately, Lysander gasped. “Who did it?”
“I’m not certain,” he said. “My only responsibility was to present the diagnostic results in court.”
After hearing everything, Lysander felt a mix of emotions.
At that moment, someone was calling out for Adrian from afar. He covered the receiver and exchanged a few words before he got back on the phone and asked Lysander, “Are you sure you don’t want to come over and take a look?”

Lysander felt a sense of unease when she heard the story about Paulo’s divorce. “I’m not going. I’ll hang up
now.”
After hanging up the phone, she gazed at the seagulls soaring outside the window. For some reason, couldn’t shake off an unsettling premonition.
Just then, someone outside was turning the door handle.
Startled, Lysander exclaimed, “Who’s there?”
From outside, a faint female voice could be heard. “I’m sorry. I’ve got the wrong place.”
Afterward, the girl fled in panic.
Lysander walked over and opened the door, only to see a familiar profile.
When she first saw it, there was a moment of disorientation.
she
She couldn’t have known the profile any better. Every morning before stepping out, that was the profile she saw in the reflection in the mirror.
However, the girl ran so fast that it was just a fleeting sight.
The light in the cabin was dim, so Lysander thought perhaps it was simply her vision blurring.
Her gaze inadvertently swept over the cabin where Josiah was, the door half–open.
He must have also gone to the front hell to attend Rina’s toedding, right? Lysander had just returned to her own cabin and was about to sit down when a sudden loud noise erupted from outside the door.
After that, the cabin door was knocked on again.
Could it be that girl? The girl spoke in Ecronese just now. Could it be that she’s in some trouble? Is she coming to me for

The urgency of the knocking on the door grew. Each knock was heavier than the last as if there was a matter of utmost importance.
With great caution, Lysander gently cracked the door open. However, in the next moment, someone from outside tumbled in.
It was a tall man..
The man had a strong scent of alcohol on his body, and Lysander had no time to react before being pushed against the wall behind the cabin door. The heavy kiss fell upon her like a torrential downpour.
She struggled with all her might, wanting to scream for help, but her mouth was gagged, making it impossible for her to utter a sound.
When she was finally released, a dazed voice echoed in her ears. “Don’t scream. It’s me…”
“Josiah?”
“Close the door. Close it first.” Josiah appeared quite frail, using the wall for support, barely managing to keep himself from collapsing.
Unintentionally, Lysander came into contact with the skin on his neck. It was scorching hot. “What’s wrong with you?”
With gritted teeth and eyes shut, Josiah panted and said, “First, close the door.”
His
situation was off at the moment, and for safety reasons, she didn’t want to close the door.
As long as the door remained open, she could always make her escape at any moment.
Outside, there were soft, secretive noises. It was all very sneaky.
One of them was heard saying, “He really isn’t in the cabin. I’ve searched through several cabins already.”
“How could it be? The cruise ship is only so big. He’s not in the main hall, nor on the deck. He must be in one of the cabins.”
“But I really did check every single cabin. There really wasn’t anything.
One of them was the voice of Lysanne.
Lysander also recognized the other person, who was most probably the girl who had just run away moments earlier.
“Is Lysanne looking for you?” Lysander asked.
Josiah covered her mouth and urged, “Shh… Don’t speak.”
