Chapter 443 Gentleness Alone Cannot Keep a Woman
The outside of the clothing was soaked with rain, but the inside was still dry, offering a bit of warmth when draped over Lysander’s shoulders,
Lysander instinctively clutched the collar tightly, covering her exposed skin before taking in the current state of the house.
The window had been shattered, leaving a gaping hole. Not only was the glass broken, but the wooden frame itself had split down the middle. The curtains flapped wildly in the wind.
With no window as a barrier, a lot of rainwater had entered the house, mingling with shards of glass and splintered wood scattered all over the floor, along with streaks of blood. The room, already in disarray due to the fight, closely resembled a murder scene.
“Josiah, are you okay?” Lysander asked.
Josiah cast a cold glance at her. “If I had killed him today, would you have called the police on me?”
Lysander remained silent.
“Will you, or will you not?”
“I will.”
“Heh, as expected. Dr. Thorne is indeed a law–abiding citizen.“
“But I would have explained to the police that you did it for me…”
Josiah exhaled heavily, leaning against the wall and sliding down slowly. There was a mix of self–mockery and amusement in his voice as he said, “Dr. Thorne, you and I share no blood or bond. Do you really think the police would believe that I killed someone for you?”
“We’re not completely unrelated.”
Josiah raised an eyebrow, looking at her.
“You’re my ex–husband.”
Josiah rolled his eyes, as if he had expected nothing good to come out of Lysander’s mouth.
He nudged the man lying on the ground with his foot.
There was absolutely no response.
The living room had transformed from a scene of utter chaos to complete silence. Lysander hesitated before speaking. “Did you hear me screaming for help earlier?”
Josiah replied irritably, “No.”
Lysander was speechless.
“Do you think I spend my nights eavesdropping at your door? Or that I’ve bugged your house to listen to everything that happens inside?”

Lysander said. “I thought maybe my voice was drowned out by the thunder and rain.”
“Well, Dr. Thome, you’re lucky I had insomnia sonight.”
“I sec.”
Josiah suddenly burst out in anger, “Aren’t you curious why I had insomnia?”
Lysander tentatively asked. “Is it because of the new project nearby?”
Josiah laughed out loud in exasperation. “I really wonder how you ever managed to get into medical school.”

“I’m not a neurologist or psychologist. How would I know why you have insomnia?”
“Eine.” Josiah gritted his teeth. “You’re amazing.
With that, he stood up.
Lysander followed suit. “Josiah…
Ignoring her, Josiah calmly continued, “Go back to the bedroom, close the door, take off the clothes, and hand it to me. After that, go back to sleep.”
Having just experienced such an ordeal, how could Lysander possibly fall asleep? She looked down at the thief on the ground, her gaze filled with worry.
He hadn’t moved for quite some time. Is he still alive?
Lysander struggled to speak and looked at the dim silhouette of Josiah. “What about you?”
With the glass shattered like this, he couldn’t possibly return the same way. Even if he could go back through the corridor, his fingerprints and footprints would remain, not to mention the presence of such a thief in the house.
you, just say that although you heard noises outside, you were too scared to come out, so you stayed. locked in the bedroom and didn’t know what was happening outside.”
The flashes of lightning and rolls of thunder outside the window never ceased.
She had just crouched down to inspect when she was abruptly hoisted up. Frowning, “I’ve told you not to concern yourself with these matters. Return to your room immediately. I can handle him.”
Lysander’s mind buzzed. “Josiah, have you lost your mind?”
“Do you know where that Harry is now?”

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....
