Chapter 371 Never This Gentle

A faint scent of alcohol still lingered on his hands.

At that moment, Lysander wondered if he was drunk.

He then buried his head in the crook of her neck, his breath gradually growing heavier.

Lysander had a gut feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

Josiah had a decent tolerance for alcohol. Given that he had been in the cabin the whole time, it was unlikely that he would get himself drunk.

Furthermore, Lysanne and that girl were persistently searching for him outside.

Lysander lowered her voice to a whisper and asked, “Did you ingest something?”

Josiah gave a slight shake of his head.

“In that case…”

“I just had a bit of wine. Just a little bit… Josiah said.

The skin op her neck was rather sensitive, and she could feel Josiah’s forehead grow increasingly hot. Moreover, as he spoke, his lips moved, nearly brushing against her collarbone.

Instinctively, Lysander wanted to push him away.

Josiah, however, was one step ahead, gripping her shoulders. “I think I might have been drugged.”

Lysander had also guessed so. His condition, as well as his current state..

“Just a while ago, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to you came looking for me in the cabin. I thought it was you.”

He was talking about the girl outside the cabin.

“It seems like she knows Lysanne,” Lysander said.

“Pfft! It’s more than that,” Josiah sneered.

The volume of his words suddenly escalated, seemingly catching the attention of the two individuals

outside.

At that moment, Lysanne’s voice grew closer and closer. “It seems like there’s some noise coming from this cabin. Did you hear it?”

“It seems so. I heard it as well.”

Lysanne extended her hand, gently pushing the door open.

But in the next moment, Josiah lifted his foot and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

Her reaction amused Josiah, who slightly lifted his head from the crook of her neck, giving her a teasing look. “Are you always this timid?” he asked with a playful smile on his lips.

Lysander pushed his chin away with her hand, avoiding his breath. “Stay still.”

“I can’t stand straight. Josiah ducked his head again. “I’m not sure what drug it is, but it’s quite potent…“

Lysander felt as if a fire was burning inside her. “Then go lie down on the couch!”

“Don’t move…”

“You…”

“If you keep moving, I might not be able to hold back,” he said.

Immediately, Lysander ceased her ongoing action of pushing him.

Josiah seemed genuinely unsteady, with half of his body weight pressing down on her shoulders.

The weight of a grown man was indeed somewhat overwhelming.

At that very moment, there was a knock at the cabin door. “Josiah? Josiah, are you in there?”

Josiah muttered a curse under his breath.

In a hushed voice, Lysander asked him, “What on earth is Lysanne up to?”

Josiah laughed dismissively and replied, “Who knows what she’s up to? She clearly said she’d back off before, even willing to let me be with you. I didn’t guard myself. I didn’t expect her to actually bring that woman here…”

“Who exactly is that woman?”

“I don’t know,” he blurted, the effects of the medicine affecting him. “Once, she said she couldn’t have children anymore, so she sought out one of your juniors… Just like you, studying medicine… She even bore some resemblance to you… She said… Lysanne said she wanted her to have a child…”

Upon hearing this, Lysander felt her head was about to explode. “Wait… Did she want you…”

“Mmm. Luckily, I’m familiar with your scent. Just now, she took advantage of the dim light, came into my cabin, and threw herself into my arms, calling me Josiah… At first, I thought it was you. But then I realized you would never treat me so tenderly…” Josiah said.

Before the echo of his words had even faded, a knock at the door resounded again. “Is anyone there? Is there anyone inside?”

“Lysanne, there might not be anyone inside. The door might have just been shut by the sea breeze.”

Lysanne paused for a moment and deliberately said loudly, “The sea breeze isn’t that strong. There must be someone inside.”
