The Charming Ex-Wife
Chapter 44 She’s Too Busy for That
Josiah waited until after 11 p.m. that night, but Lysander never came out. He stopped a young nurse and asked, “Is Dr. Thorne from the obstetrics and gynecology department still here?”
The nurse was taken aback for a moment. “Dr. Thorne has already left a while ago.”
“Didn’t you guys call her back for overtime duty for an emergency?”
“Oh, you mean the patient who had a miscarriage,” the nurse said, “her heavy bleeding has been stopped, and she has been transferred to the ICU. The doctors in the ICU are taking care of her now, so Dr. Thorne left.”
“But I’ve been waiting at the door the whole time and didn’t see her.”
The nurse blinked her eyes. “Then I’m not sur from there.”
but our hospital has a side door. She might have left
She’s already left. She went out through the side door expressly to avoid me. Josiah smiled wryly and closed his
eves.
The nurse asked, “Do you have something to discuss with Dr. Thorne?”
“1. Josiah paused. He asked, “You just said Dr. Thorne came back because a pregnant woman had a miscarriage with heavy bleeding?”
“Yes.”
“In the case of a miscarriage, is heavy bleeding common?”
“It’s not too common. It varies from person to person”
“Will it be very painful?”
The nurse said, “Of course. It’s like tearing a piece of Desh out of your belly. How can it not be painful?”
Josiah didn’t know how he managed to drive back home. Along the way, all he could hear in his mind was the nurse’s words. It’s like tearing a piece of flesh out of your belly. How can it not be painful?
He recalled that afternoon when he rushed from the hilltop to the hospital entrance and saw her. She was wearing an oversized hospital gown, her face pale as if drained of all color. She was supported by Daphne, looking like she could collapse at any moment. How could it not hurt? It was clear from the way she looked that she was in so much pain that she could barely speak properly.
He scanned his fingerprint and opened the door, only to be hit by a strong, greasy smell of takeout food.
Lysanne was sitting on the sofa with a box of fried chicken in hand, laughing heartily while watching a variety show on TV. “How come you’re back so late?” she complained unhappily. “Did Lysander contact you again?”

Lysanne licked the sauce off her fingers, pouting. “Is she giving up like that after losing a money tree like you? I don’t believe it.”
Josiah felt exhausted. He wanted to sit on the sofa, but as he came closer, he realized it was covered in remnants of her snacks-fruit peels, melon seed husks, and snack crumbs.
He chuckled in exasperation. “Is this why you wanted to replace the fabric sofa with a leather one?”
Lysanne shrugged. “It’s easier to clean this way. Fabric sofas need to be washed if they get dirty, but leather ones only need a quick wipe.”
“From now on, no cating on the sofa. It attracts cockroaches.”
“I just like to eat and watch TV at the same time.” Lysanne raised her chin. “I’ve always been like this, and you know that.”
Josiah was rendered speechless.
There was no place to sit on the sofa, so he got up and walked toward the bedroom.
Lysanne stood up suddenly and called out to him, “Hey, Josiah, where are you going?”

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....
