Chapter 471 Struck Down By Illness
The flight attendant had already left before Lysander opened her eyes and didn’t hear her unfinished sentence. Now, only the two of them were left staring at each other.
Looking calm, Josiah asked, “What are you looking at?”
Lysander realized it wasn’t an illusion and immediately widened her eyes. She instinctively asked, “Was that you speaking just now?”
No wonder she found the voice of the person asking for the blanket familiar.
“Of course,” Josiah chuckled as if puzzled by the question. “Who else could it be? You didn’t finish your sentence earlier. Did you also want a blanket?”
He was tall with long legs, so sitting in economy class meant he couldn’t fully stretch them out. He was forced to sit sideways with one leg crossed over the other, speaking to her in a pose that seemed casual but was actually quite uncomfortable.
Lysander pulled up her mask, muffling her voice. “Let’s wait for the flight attendant to come back.”
The flight attendant returned swiftly, handing over a blanket to Josiah.
“Thank you.”
Lysander quickly said, “Excuse me, could I also…”
Josiah casually draped the blanket over her, saying, “Here’s the blanket you wanted.”
“You should use it. I’ll ask for another one.”
“It was meant for you,” Josiah said, frowning at her haggard appearance. “It’s only been a few days, and you’ve gotten so sick?”
“It was unexpected.”
The blanket did help warm her up a bit.
Lysander asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be in first class? What are you doing here in economy?”
With his hands crossed over his lap, Josiah responded with a question, “What do you think?”
“How did you get like this?”
Lysander’s weariness was obvious. There was no point in pretending otherwise, especially since her voice was thick with congestion. She had to be honest, “It’s nothing, just a cold.”
Her voice was raspy.
Josiah scrutinized her, staring into her eyes as he asked, “Did you stay up late reviewing past summits?”
“Something like that.”
Josiah clearly didn’t believe her and didn’t bother to change his expression.

Now that she was warmer, Lysander felt a bit more spirited and casually replied, “I just caught a cold. It has its cycle, and today’s the worst day. I’ll be fine after this.”
Seeing how much effort it took for her to speak, Josiah sighed. “Is attending this summit worth it when you’re sick?”
Lysander threw the question back at him, “Didn’t you say this summit is a rare opportunity for
newcomers?”
Josiah still had a reason to argue, “I said before that I could take you. Since you’re sick, you could wait another day. It wouldn’t affect your schedule, as the summit isn’t just one day.”
It seemed a bit late to say that now.
However, Josiah started rambling, “I thought you’d have made some progress. But you’re still the same as before: you act like a lone hero at work, but in life, you’re a complete rookie who can’t even take care of yourself.”
Lysander ended the argument with one sentence, leaned back against the window, and tried to rest. After a while, she opened her heavy eyelids and murmured, “You should go back.”

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....
