Chapter 493 Excited
The expression on Lysander’s face changed in an instant.
The events of the previous night were a bit of a blur to her.
She vaguely remembered how Josiah had driven her to the brink of insanity, causing her to push him away while crying out. When she found herself unable to push him any further, she resorted to biting him in desperation.
As for where she bit him, it was hard to tell. The room was pitch black at the time, and her mind was in such a haze that she couldn’t be sure.
However, she regretted it up until now.
She had assumed that after feeling pain, Josiah would let her go. To her surprise, he became even excited and unrestrained.
When Lysander heard the turmoil caused by this bite mark, she truly didn’t know what to say.
Before long, Josiah, who had stepped out to fetch some items from the hospital entrance, returned laden with several bags. The first thing he noticed upon entering the ward was the IV pole with an IV drip hanging from it. Only then did he turn his attention to Tiffany, who was seated by the bed.
Tiffany’s checks had a rosy blush as she said, “Jose, you’re back.”
Josiah glanced at her and asked, “Why is your face so red? You don’t have a fever, do you?”
“No, no. It’s just too hot in here.”
After asking that question, Josiah didn’t immediately expect an answer from her. Instead, he simply went about his business and set down the items he had been carrying.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
Lysander followed the sound and noticed that the IV tube had somehow backflowed with blood, its bright red color glaring.
Remembering the promise she made to Josiah when he left. Tiffany’s face turned pale with fear. “Oh my God, there’s so much blood…” she exclaimed.
As a surgeon who had operated before, Lysander had seen scenarios far more terrifying than this. Composing herself, she said, “It’s just a back flow, it’s fine. Don’t be scared.”
Josiah had already pressed the call bell. Raising his eyebrows in displeasure, he asked, “What do you mean by just a back flow?”
As they were talking, the nurse had already rushed over. Upon seeing the blood in the IV tube, she calmly flicked the tube to let the blood flow back before proceeding to remove the needle and replace it with a
new one.
“Why didn’t anyone turn it off after the IV drip was finished?”
Feeling a pang of guilt, Tiffany replied, “It’s all my fault. I completely lost track of time while chatting with

Josiah’s expression was somewhat bitter when he said, “You should go back. I’ll stay here by myself.”
Lysander gave him a pat. “Don’t be mad, Mr. Guerra. It’s just a back flow. Don’t scare Ms. Lanister.”
“And you.” Josiah turned to Lysander, clearly irritated. “What were you chatting so happily about? As a medical professional, how could you not notice the back flow?”
Lysander choked. “We… were talking about you.”
“What about me?”
Lynn quickly stood up, interrupting, “Lysa, take good care of yourself. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way.”
Lysander gave her a nod. “Thanks for the oatmeal today.”
Tiffany smiled, then quickly ran off.
Josiah showed absolutely no intention of chasing after her. He didn’t even move an inch.
Lysander asked Josiah. “Are you just going to let Tiffany go back alone?”
Josiah didn’t quite catch what she was implying. “I’m not her personal chauffeur.”
After saying that, he realized that he had been a bit too irritable just now.
He softened his voice and asked, “Does the back flow hurt?”
“No.”
After hearing her reply, Josiah felt a pang in his heart. He seemed like a different person compared to earlier, saying, “I wasn’t trying to be harsh with you earlier. I guess I was just upset because I care about
you.
Lysander could tell that he was tired judging from the way his brows were scrunched together, and she could probably guess why.
Two nights ago, he had spent the entire night fussing over her without sleeping. He probably also stayed up the whole night last night monitoring her temperature.
Even strongest person would eventually run out of energy.
Seeing that Lysander remained silent, Josiah helped her back onto the bed. He was particularly careful with her hand which had the needle in it. Then, he took out a hand warmer from his bag and placed it in her palm. “That day.. I was also provoked by the note Adrian wrote. I really didn’t plan to do anything”
At the thought of that note, Lysander frowned too.
If Adrian asks me about it after I return, what should I say? What a headache.
Lysander was too sick to argue with him. She leaned back on her hospital bed and sighed. “I never thought I’d fly all the way from Harborbrook to Apex City just to visit the hospital.”
Josiah responded, “How does it compare to the Central Hospital?”

Lysander glanced around the room and replied. “This ward is a bit outdated. It doesn’t have the modern amenities of Central Hospital, but this isn’t a main issue here. As long as it can treat patients, it’s a good hospital.”
Josiah said. “The weather here can’t compare to Harborbrook too. The air in Apex City is too dry.”
Instantly, a jolt sur
through Lysander’s heart.
“There should be a humidifier in the ward. Otherwise, it’s only a matter of time before one gets a fever.”
Lysander rubbed her nose, remaining silent.
Noticing her unnatural expression, Josiah asked, “What’s wrong?”
Lysander caught a glimpse of the bite mark on his neck.

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....
