Josiah adopted an appropriate demeanor as a junior and said, “Mr. Maverick, I have always remembered what you said to me at the Thorne manor. Regardless of whether Lysander accepts me or not, I will treat her well for the rest of my life. Her family is my family.”

Maverick lowered his head and nodded. As his health condition worsened, his attitude underwent a change. His tone was no longer as assertive as before. Rather, he began to speak more openly and honestly.

Maverick gave a satisfied smile, understanding the metaphorical reference of the word “shoulder” in their conversation.
