The Charming ExWife 

Chapter 566 Opposites Attract 

#Finished 

She reached out to take the items that Josiah had been carrying for her. It was only after he had returned to his own unit that she took out her keys to open the door

After being away for a while, the arrangement of the room had become somewhat unfamiliar. The air was also stale. Fortunately, before Lysander went on her business trip, she had closed the windows and covered everything to prevent dust. Otherwise, there would have been a great deal of cleaning to do that evening

The Ragdoll kitten was lively and clever, unafraid even in unfamiliar surroundings. Once Lysander had turned on the lights, it began to meow, asserting its presence

Lysander bent over, gently placing the kitten onto the ground

Though White Coat hadn’t returned home yet, its toys and bed were still there. The home clearly showed signs of having housed a pet. The Ragdoll kitten extended its little paws, scratching the soft dog bed a few times before starting to play with the toys inside

Lysander couldn’t help but smile, feeling reassured as she went about her own business. After she finished. her bath and came out, intending to find a hairdryer to dry her hair, the Ragdoll kitten had completely adjusted to its new environment. It was enthusiastically using the cabinet in the entranceway as a cat tree, continually climbing up

Unfortunately, the kitten was simply too small right now. Even with all its might, there were places it couldn’t jump up to. Seeing its owner come out, it finally gave up trying, choosing instead to run to her feet and start playfully winding around her legs

Lysander was careful not to step on the fluffy tail of the kitten, carefully sidestepping it as she moved

Ding dong- 

Someone was ringing the doorbell

Given how late it was, Lysander could easily guess who the visitor was, even without having to think about iL 

She crouched down and replaced the water in the kitten’s bowl

Josiah was persistent, standing right outside the door and saying, Lysander, I came to borrow something. Do you have iodine at home?” 

Still on her guard, Lysander reminded him, You should have a first aid kit at home, right? I remember seeing it when you had gastric last time.” 

Without a moment’s hesitation, Josiah responded naturally, There’s only gastric medicine inside.” 

After deliberating a few seconds, Lysander slightly cracked open the door

In the hallway. Josiah was seen wearing a loose, casual outfit. A faint mist clung to him, suggesting he was fresh from a bath. His hair, still wet, was slicked back atop his head, revealing a bandage on his smooth forehead

Without the fringe falling over his forehead to conceal it, the wound on his brow became even more noticeable

Did it get wet?” 

No, it’s justI accidentally bumped into the shower head.” 

Did you actually manage to bump your head on the showerhead that’s placed so high up?” 

I’m tall.” 

Speechless, Lysander rolled her eyes at him, clearly disbelieving

Really.” 

While speaking, Josiah gestured toward his wound

Finished 

The bandage, which was originally pure white, was now tinged with a faint pink hue, and it seemed a bit damp as well

At the end of the day, the injury was inflicted by Maverick, and Lysander truly couldn’t ignore it

She sighed softly. Come in. I’ll help you with that. If you really did get water on the wound, just dabbing iodine won’t do.” 

Wearing the slippers he had taken from his own home, Josiah confidently strode through the door

The Ragdoll kitten was very welcoming, seemingly accepting him as its second owner. It began to meow and act cutely once again

After opening the door for Josiah, Lysander went to fetch her own first aid kit. Upon turning around and witnessing the scene, she couldn’t help but be rendered speechless

This was her first time seeing such a clingy cat. Could it have been deliberately chosen by Josiah

Josiah seemed to feel quite at home. He settled down on the couch and started petting the cat

It seems like the cat likes you more

Josiah said, This is a female kitten, so could it beopposites attract?” 

It’s still just a child.” 

Lysander placed the first aid kit on the coffee table, creating a soft click. Then she asked, Are you sure you just got hit by the shower head?” 

The hallway was dimly lit, obscuring some details from view. It wasn’t until Josiah sat in the brightly lit living room that she could see everything clearly

This was far from a mere wound getting wet; it was clear that the entire bandage had been thoroughly soaked

Josiah touched his nose, subtly clearing his throat to mask his discomfort. Then he murmured, I might have gotten it a bit wet when I was handling the shower head.” 

What he said was the truth; he just omitted some details

For instance he had turned on the water before grabbing the showerhead which resulted in the iet of

Is this what you call a bit? Do you know how troublesome it is when a wound comes into contact with 

water?” 

Lysander meticulously disinfected her hands first, then carefully took out a pair of medical tweezers. With great caution, she began to remove the bandage that had become tightly adhered to Josiah’s wound due to being soaked in water

Her medical kit at home was always wellstocked, but even the most meticulous tools couldn’t spare Josiah the pain

When Josiah was having his wound cleaned in the hospital’s ER department, his expression didn’t change, and he didn’t even hiss in pain. However, when Lysander was the one tending to his wounds, he seemed to transform into a completely different person. Not only was he visibly wincing in pain, but he also drew in several sharp breaths

Upon seeing his pain, Lysander decided to make it quick. With a firm and decisive grip, she ruthlessly tore off the bandage and adhesive tape

This time, Josiah let out a groan from the sheer pain

Lysander asked in confusion, Does it hurt a lot?” 

Josiah wanted to keep a poker face, but he found it momentarily impossible. Taking a deep breath to regain his composure, he said, I didn’t say it hurts; I was just a bit unprepared mentally. It was too sudden

This needs to be swift, decisive, and accurate. Doing it slowly would only cause more pain‘ 

Okay,” said Josiah. I’m all right. Just go at your own pace.” 

Lysander didn’t press further. She simply picked up a cotton ball soaked in iodine to disinfect his wound

Lysander, is there a chance of infection if it comes into contact with water?” 

Right now, it’s hard to tell. But with an open wound like this, if it gets 

infected, it could be problematic. We might have to reopen the wound to clean it and then stitch it up again” 

She spoke calmly of the cases she had personally witnessed before

For some reason, Josiah misheard her words and thought she was talking about the anesthesia failing. He could not bear it any longer and asked, Did you also scare your patients like this back in the hospital?” 

Lysander swapped a fresh cotton ball, speaking leisurely, Being hospitalized is already tough for pregnant women. As a doctor, it’s my duty to take care of their emotions, so I always try to uplift them with positive

words.” 

Josiah expressed his dissatisfaction, So, are you trying to intimidate me now?” 

Lysander didn’t think that at all. Instead, she asked, Are you scared?” 

I’m not afraid at all.” 

Josiah wasn’t exactly afraid of pain, but the process of tending to his wound was far more intense than he
