Chapter 169 Encounter In The Restroom
The waiter hastily apologized, “I’m sorry, miss! Are you hurt?”
When Lysander came to her senses, she realized that she had been shielded behind Zachary
The ground was littered with shards of shattered glass, and scalding soup was splattered in all directions.
The worst off was his
Zachary was clad in a beige polo shirt, speckled all over with brown spots from the soup. The grey sweatpants. One of the legs was nearly completely soaked through.
Moreover, from the steam wafting out, it was clear the soup was still piping hot.
Seeing the situation, Lysander didn’t waste any words. She immediately grabbed Zachary’s hand and took off running.
She heard the waiter call out from behind, “Sir, miss, do you need a towel?”
“Where’s the restroom?” Lysander asked.
The waiter’s face had turned pale, clearly frightened. “Just go straight, turn right, and walk until the end.”
Lysander tugged Zachary along, taking a couple more steps before she heard his strained voice saying, “Lysander, slow down…”
Lysander could hear the slight tremble in his voice. She crouched down, cautiously rolling up his pant leg a little.
Even though her actions were gentle enough, she could still feel the instant tension in his calf muscles.
“The material of your sweatpants is cotton, which can easily stick to the skin and cause secondary burns. It’s necessary to immediately rinse with cold water.”
Zachary gave a nod, gritting his teeth. “All right, I’ll go myself. It’s not appropriate for a girl like you to enter
the men’s restroom…”
Lysander furrowed her brows. “Is this really the time to worry about that? Can you even walk?”
“I’m fine.”
“Come on, I’ll support you. Let’s hurry up.”
“But…”
“That’s enough. I’m the doctor here, so listen to me.”
When they reached the entrance of the men’s restroom, Zachary was a bit uneasy. He wanted to say something, but Lysander had already quickly moved to the sink, turning the faucet on full blast. Then, she knelt down to help him roll up his pants.
Zachary hurried to support her. “Lysander, don’t…”
“It’s fine. It’s quicker if I help you.”
Zachary was already wincing in pain, gasping for air. Any movement that involved bending over would pull at the skin on his calf, causing another wave of searing pain to course through him.
“Your pants aren’t really cooperating,” Lysander commented with furrowed brows.
His sweatpants, which were not too loose to begin with, clung to his skin after being soaked in soup, making it

difficult to roll them up.
Zachary had also noticed it. He was desperately holding back, but when Lysander added more force to pull the pants leg up, he couldn’t help but gasp. “Ah!”
“Did I hurt you?”
“It’s okay, you… you may continue.”
“Your pants are too tight. I can only tear them.”
“Okay.”
However, this wasn’t a hospital, and Lysander had forgotten to ask the waiter for a pair of scissors earlier.
Beneath Zachary’s rolled–up pants, his skin had already reddened, swelled, and wrinkled. Moreover, it continued to spread at a pace visible to the naked eye.
Lysander couldn’t afford to care that much anymore. She bit down hard to create a tear, then with each hand gripping a side, she ripped his pants apart with all her strength.
With a tearing sound, she tore open his sweatpants to right above the knee.
Zachary’s leg was immobile, and the faucet Lysander had turned on earlier had already filled the entire sink. The icy water was spilling out from within.
Lysander gently adjusted his position, allowing the icy water to wash over his entire leg that had been scalded.

Update pls~...
Why no update ???...
Chapters 692 693 ans 694 are impossible to read. Not sure if there was an issue with translation.but the words do not make sense..impossible to follow story line...
I cant get over the fact that the writer is trying to show as if the male lead has committed a grave sin. First he didnt know she was pregnant because she never told him. Second right from the start she never communicated anything. She was unbothered even during her marriage. I am not saying the male lead is great but atleast he seems like a human with emotions unlike her. And there is no context for why she is so emotionless....
The female lead is not charming but an unbothered b word, there is a very big difference. There is no point of extending this story at all because even if you write 1000+ chapters at 1001 the male lead would still be doing everything for her and she wouldnt bat an eye even if someone killed him. I mean honestly either the start should have been written better where we do understand that she was deeply affected because of her divorce or just STOPPPPP. Even for fiction it is annoying....
