Chapter 290 The Youth
“What’s the standard for right or wrong? Is it career success or family happiness? Until the last moment of life, no one can conclude whether the decision made back then was right or wrong.
Josiah chuckled lightly. “Dr. Sutton, you sound quite nostalgic. Did you have a crush in your youth?”
“Of course.”
Josiah’s smile turned disdainful. “Then what’s the use of expressing these ‘youthful theories’ now? At this age. who doesn’t have a past? We’re all on the same starting line, so why discriminate?”
Adrian crossed his arms, looking at him. “I do have a past, but how do you know that my present aren’t the same person?”

Josiah’s expression changed abruptly as he glanced at Lysander. “Have you two met before?”
“Have you forgotten that we’re both medical students
“But didn’t Aiden say you’ve been abroad all this time? And as for Lysander, I know she’s never studied. abroad.”
“I’ve been studying abroad all this time. It’s not like I’ve been restricted from entering the country. Isn’t it normal to come back for academic exchanges or holidays?”
Josiah’s gaze
aze grew more obscure. “Just a few days, and you can fall in love with someone? You don’t even know her situation. Isn’t that a bit hasty as your feelings are based on just a few meetings?”
“I’m not like you. You grew up with your childhood friend, but I don’t have that privilege, so I have to believe in love at first sight.”
Josiah sneered, “Dr. Sutton, this story you’ve crafted isn’t very realistic. Love at first sight? How many instances of that are there in the world?”
Adrian met his gaze, calmly saying, “Youth knows no love or hate, but it’s when one feels most passionate.”
“Oh dear…”
Lysanne’s exclamation finally drew both their attention.
The situation on the pool table has completely changed.
What was once a simple layout now had a snooker hidden within.
The black eight-ball was firmly tucked behind a colored ball in the corner.
A promising game was instantly ruined, a good hand rendered useless.
Josiah was already feeling irritated, and seeing this situation made it worse. “Was this deliberate?”
Lvsanne choked out. “I…”
“You should have let Yvonne take you back earlier.”
“I was just trying to buy some time, so Dr. Thorne could spend more time with you!” Lysanne cried out in frustration. “She doesn’t want to talk to you right now, so I just wanted to create some opportunities.

“That was a long time ago! I’m not like that now! My parents came back, and they’ve talked to me a lot, and I’m not afraid to tell you that my parents went to see Dr. Thorne once…”
Josiah suddenly grew tense. “What did they go to see her for?”
“Don’t be hasty. Hear me out.” Lysanne took a deep breath. “If I said my parents went to see Dr. Thorne to try to matchmake you two, would you believe me?”
Josiah snorted coldly. “What do you think?” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“I know you won’t believe it, but it’s true. These days, my parents have discussed a lot, and yes, I do owe you a lot, but you also look down on our family’s wealth. My parents really want to compensate you.”
Josiah saw through it clearly. “Do they want to compensate me, or do they want to beg me not to drive you away?”
“Both, I guess.”
“So, was it your parents’ idea when you went to find that actress and then came to cause a scene in my company?”
