NovelEnglishChapter 176 "Ms. Sutherland, shall we have a chat?" The Harvey residence.
Early in the morning, Lysander and Adrian were seated in the dining room, sharing breakfast with the Harvey family.
Halfway through breakfast, Lysander's phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, he smiled politely at the table before stepping aside to take the call.

Lysander's expression remained unchanged, a gentle smile still on his lips, as he replied with a calm, even tone, "Take it easy, Ryan. What's going on?" "He didn't chall night," Ryan explained, clearly agitated. "I tried calling, but there was no answer. I assumed he was working late at the office, but when I called there, they said he had left long ago." "My brother never does this," Ryan continued, sounding increasingly anxious. "If he wasn't coming home, he would have told me. I couldn't reach him all night. Something must have happened!" "Don't worry just yet," Lysander reassured him, unperturbed. "It's still early. Maybe he fell asleep somewhere and missed the calls..." "Impossible!" Ryan interrupted. "No matter where he goes, he always answers my calls, or at least letsknow!" "Lysander, do you think I should report this to the police?" Ryan hesitated; despite generally avoiding family affairs, he could guess his brother wasn't exactly involved in safe activities. Unsure what to do, he turned to Lysander, whom he trusted implicitly.
Seeing Ryan was inconsolable, Lysander suggested, "Alright, I'm heading to Falcon Technologies later. Meetthere, and we'll figure this out. Try reaching him again in the meantime..." After settling Ryan, Lysander returned to the table and resumed his meal, unhurried.
Giselle served him sfood and casually asked, "Who was calling so early?" Lysander chuckled, not bothering to hide anything. "It was Ryan. He couldn't reach his brother last night and was in a panic, so I told him to meetat Falcon Technologies." Giselle's hand paused for a moment, her chopsticks hovering in the air.
Mrs. Harvey's expression also stiffened slightly.
Charles, who had returned hearly that morning, showed no change in demeanor but asked with concern, "Is it the eldest from the Lockwood family? I hope nothing serious has happened." "Of course not," Lysander assured with a smile. "Roland can handle himself. It's just Ryan who treats his brother like a fragile treasure, always getting worked up over the slightest thing." "Good brotherly love is a blessing," Charles remarked with a chuckle.
Lysander simply smiled back without comment.

Charles turned to his daughter, saying, "You've all been friends since childhood. When you go over, be sure to comfort Ryan. No need to worry too much; adults can take care of themselves. He's probably just out having fun. Young people have a lot of interests these days." Falcon Technologies was a tech subsidiary Lysander had set up for Giselle.
Naturally, she was expected to accompany him to the Nodding slightly ther father' words; she tried to maintain a smile, though it seemed a bit forced. Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Early that morning, Nathaniel had cto take the kids to school, leaving Mila alone in the hospital room.
After the doctor had made his rounds, she slipped a cgat over her hospital gown, and discreetly exited through the back door of the hospital. With a mask on, she hailed a cab at the roadside, her expression grave as she departed.
