Chapter 404 Change My Dressing
While they were talking. Daphne’s face suddenly changed. She abruptly stood up and exclaimed, “What are you doing here?”
When Lysander looked up, she saw a familiar figure.
However, she was far from her usual commanding and condescending self. She was drenched from head to toe, draped in a white bath towel. Her wet hair clung to her scalp, making her look quite disheveled.
“I’m here to see my mom.”
Daphne didn’t even try to hide her displeasure with her. “Where were you earlier? Your mom was hospitalized, and it was Lysander and Mr. Thorne who took turns to look after her. Have you been hiding at home, enjoying yourself?”
Tears welled up in Lysanne’s eyes. “It’s not that I didn’t want to come; it’s just that…”
“What? Your legs are your own. Who could possibly stop you if you decided to come? Were you tied up or locked away?”
“I-”
“Lysanne.”
Josiah appeared right then.
He also spotted Daphne and Lysander, and his face contorted. “Daphne, did you come to see Lysander?”
Daphne’s eyes darted back and forth between him and Lysanne a few times before she suddenly burst into laughter. “Mr. Guerra, please don’t address me so familiarly. I wouldn’t want people to accuse me of trying to cozy up to the illustrious Guerra family. You should just call me Ms. Everhart.”
Josiah was holding a bag of medicine in his hand. It seemed that he had just collected it.
Daphne gave a quick glance. “Is it Mrs. Thorne’s medicine? Thanks for making the trip, Mr. Guerra. Hand it over to me, please.”
No sooner had Daphne reached out her hand than it was gently brushed aside.
Lysander drew her hand back. “Someone will deliver Molly’s medicine.”
Daphne picked up on the underlying message. She glanced at the soaking–wet Lysanne, raised an eyebrow, and asked “I see. So, you went to fetch medicine for Ms. Lysanne, didn’t you, Mr. Guerra?”
Josiah raised his hand slightly, passing the medicine to Lysanne. “Take this and head back to the ward first.”
“Josiah, I’m worried about Mom. I want to see her…”
“Then you should go check on Mrs. Thorne.” Josiah extended his hand to grasp Lysander’s. “Lysander, something urgent happened last night and I didn’t get a chance to explain it to you. Let’s go to your
office…
“Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Don’t get handsy” Daphne shielded Lysander behind her. “Just use

Josiah studied Daphne for a moment, then turned his attention back to Lysander. “All right, then I’ll say it
here.”
“Last night, I got a call from my mom. The Thorne manor had caught fire. Both our houses were built entirely of wood, so you can imagine the disaster once it started burning. Plus, you know my mom has high blood pressure, and I was worried the shock would affect her, so I rushed back immediately. I planned to contact you once everything was sorted out, but the fire was so intense, it wasn’t put out until early morning. The police showed up too, asking my mom and Lynne to go to the station to provide information to help determine the cause of the fire, which delayed things even further.”
After a moment of contemplation, Lysander asked, “Is Madam Susan doing well?”
“She’s fine. Just got a bit startled.”
Lysander nodded slightly, turning to Lysanne. “Did you suffer from a burn?”
Josiah pursed his lips, remaining silent.
Lysanne replied gently. “There are minor burns on my arm and chest. The doctor has prescribed some medication.”
“The ones Mr. Guerra collected for you?”
Lysander chuckled. “No worries. It’s all thanks to this unnecessary detour; otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet with Mr. Guerra.”
She then gave Daphne a look. “Ms. Everhart, shall we leave together? Let’s give them some alone time.”
Daphne crossed her arms and studied her, laughing at her words. “Stop pretending. I haven’t forgotten how Lysander was nearly burnt to death back then. Are you playing the innocent now?”
“That’s enough. I don’t care who bewitched you. You attempted murder. Just you wait. I’ll get a lawyer and make sure you’re behind bars. And don’t even mention your parents. Even if God himself showed up, you’d still have to face the music!”
However, within the hospital, especially at the entrance of the wards, maintaining silence was crucial.

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....
