Chapter 403 Josiah Got There In Time
When Lysander returned to the room after the phone call, Josiah was no longer there.
He had taken the time to remove the medical waste that had just been used for treatment from the trash
bin
She was the only one in the room, which surprisingly made her feel much more at ease. She laid back down and had a good, undisturbed sleep.
The next day, when she arrived at the hospital, there was an additional person in the ward.
Priscilla was feeding Molly soup.
Seeing her approach, she greeted her with a smile, “Lysander.”
Lysander also responded with a smile, “You’re here.”
“My dad always told me to repay the tiniest favor with enormous gratitude and charity. Besides, I’ve had a lot of free time on my hands recently, so I thought I’d come over and lend a hand.”
Lysander extended her hand. “Thank you, but I can take over now.”
Priscilla handed her the bowl of soup and the spoon she was holding, then stepped aside. She watched as Lysander fed Molly the soup.
“Priscilla.
“Hmm?”
“Was the ward empty when you arrived?”
“No, Mr. Thorne has been here all along. He just went to the cafeteria to get some food, so I’m helping him keep watch for a bit.”
“Food? Then where did the soup come from?”
“I made this myself. I included several ingredients known for their restorative properties. It’s really good for recovery
As they were talking, Howard returned.
However, there was nothing in his hands, and he was wearing an expression of sheer panic.
“Lysa, you’re here…”
Lysander nodded. Noticing his pale complexion, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Howard sighed. “Even though Lyss is two years older than you, she still behaves like a child. All these years, your mom and I have spoiled her too much.”
“What happened to her now?”
“Last night, she forgot to turn off the stove while cooking, and the house caught fire. The house was mostly.

the house to burn down.”
As Lysander continued to feed Molly soup, she aasually asked, “She’s all right, isn’t she?”
37%8
“Yeah, thank goodness Josiah got there in time…” Howard seemed to realize he had misspoken. He paused for a moment before quickly clarifying, “Josiah was just worried about his mother. After all, the two houses are adjacent, and if the fire had spread, it might have reached the Guerra family’s old house too. He didn’t go there specifically for Lyss. Don’t overthink it.”
No wonder he left so hastily last night.
Lysander said, “It doesn’t matter as long as she’s fine.”
Priscilla muttered. “It’s quite something that a grown person could set the house on fire just by cooking.”
Howard was clearly embarrassed as he awkwardly rubbed his hands together. “She’s never set foot in a kitchen since she was a kid. She doesn’t have a clue about any of this, so…”
“That issue has been resolved, and I don’t need to move into the Thorne manor anymore. I doubt it’s even habitable now.”
Howard felt even more awkward. “How about I buy you a new house? You can choose whichever one you like. Just let me know.”
“Let’s talk about it later.”
After finishing a bowl of soup, Molly also felt a bit weary.
Lysander helped her lay down, adjusting the blanket around her. “You should go back and take a look. I’ll stay and keep watch here.”
Howard waved his hand. “It’s okay. I’ll stay here.”
“Aren’t you worried about Lysanne?”
Howard did not respond.
Lysander added, “You’ve raised her since she was young. Even without a blood connection, you’d still feel concerned, right? Go and take a look, so Lysanne doesn’t get the wrong idea that I’m the one preventing you from going.”
With a sigh, Howard walked over and patted her shoulder. “I’ll just go for a quick look, and I’ll be right back.
When they left, the door to the ward was left open. From the corner of her eye, Lysander caught sight of familiar figure, who was gesticulating wildly at the drway.
Lysander removed Daphne’s hands from her and said with a smile, “When an elder is ill, you should fulfill your duty and look after them. Besides, there’s nothing of great importance going on with me.”
Daphne guided her to the nearby rest area and sat down. “Are you implying that you have no intention of inheriting the Thome family’s wealth?”
out of your mind? You’re the rightful heir! If you don’t claim your inheritance, all of the Thorne family’s wealth will fall into the hands of that adopted girl! Listen to me, Lysander, this isn’t the time for us to be high–minded. What’s rightfully yours, you must claim! Why should you hand it over to someone else on a silver platter?”
Lysander was much more composed. “I’m not just going to hand everything over, but I studied medicine. I don’t understand all that business stuff, and I certainly don’t want to end up a spendthrift.”
“Josiah will help to keep an eye on things.”
“I don’t mean anything by it. At this point, I don’t have much say in everything that’s happening. We’ll just have to take it one step at a time.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah)
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....
