His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 537 Dad Has Your Back

This matter was also a source of heartache for Howard and Molly.

“You’re right. Back then, Lysa and my wife were alone outside. The train station was crowded and chaotic, and in the blink of an eye, Lysa was gone. After my wife returned, she fell seriously ill and almost didn’t make it. It was so stressful that my hair turned white overnight…”

Howard’s hair had turned entirely white, hanging by his temples. He hung his head in a sigh, his expression filled with endless desolation.

Maverick, also a father of two daughters, naturally empathized with the pain. His attitude toward Howard softened, but he still said, “Yet, you quickly adopted another daughter, even giving her a name that sounds identical!”

The presence of Lysanne, the adopted daughter, was like a thorn that couldn’t be removed.

Howard then said in anguish, “I blame myself. I’ve exhausted every possible method, but I still couldn’t find Lysa. The police mentioned that the chances of her survival were slim. My wife attempted suicide several times, but thankfully, she was saved each time. I adopted a girl from the orphanage out of fear that something might happen to my wife again. Who could have thought such an incident would occur when she grew up, all because of a similar name.”

These words stirred up a profound anguish within Lysander. What? Did they just try to replace me?

Josiah furrowed his brows in pain as he thought about the past.

Upon hearing this, Maverick was particularly infuriated. “Lysa is your daughter, but what have you done for her? You allowed someone else to replace her and even let her be bullied. You were indifferent to her in the past, and only when your family business needed someone to inherit and clean up the mess did you think of her!”

Lysander noticed that Maverick didn’t look well, and she was particularly worried about his health. She quickly reached out to pat his back to help him breathe easier, fearing that his anger might lead to something serious. “Dad, I —”
