The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 586

Chapter 586 Nothing You Must Do 

Finished 

Seeing him drenched in sweat, Lysander couldn’t tell for a moment if it was from the pain. She quickly checked his knee

Josiah couldn’t bear watching any longer. He strode through the crowd of onlookers to stand before Joseph. Looking down at the extensive scrapes on his knees and arms, he said in a cold voice, It’s just a minor injury. For a man, it’s nothing at all. Stand up and Tarr 

on!” 

The basketball hit the ground with a soft thud

Lysander couldn’t stand listening anymore. He’s in his senior year, preparing for the college entrance exam. If this affects it, who can bear the responsibility?” 

Josiah threw Joseph a cold glance. He’s a sports science student. Do you think he has suffered little bumps and bruises on the court?” 

The people nearby exchanged glances, feeling that there was merit in his words

Ms. Thorne,Joseph suddenly interjected, his face pale. He’s right. I’m okay. I was just anxious to defend and lost my balance.” 

Josiah panted slightly, his brows furrowed deeply. In a curt tone, he said, If you’re fine, get up.” 

It’s better to go to the hospital for an Xray. It’s best not to complicate things at such a crucial time as your senior year,” Lysander suggested

Along with Joseph’s teammates, she helped him to his feet and instructed a student at the side. Help him over there for a seat first.” 

Then, she turned his gaze to Josiah seriously

After taking a deep breath, she demanded with suppressed rage, It was just a friendly match between high school students. Did you need to take it so seriously?” 

Josiah lowered his voice and retorted, This was a competition? Shouldn’t it be taken seriously?” 

Lysander continued in dissatisfaction, But you’re an adult and should have more restraint than him. He’s in his senior year, and an injury could jeopardize his college entrance exam. You, on the other hand, are the CEO of Guerra Group. An injury could also affect your work. The consequences would be severe for both of you, so why insist on petty rivalry?” 

Josiah’s temples throbbed relentlessly, anguish washing over him. Yet, his face betrayed no sign of his inner turmoil. He merely said, You’ve just met him. Yet, you’re already so concerned about him.” 

Lysander heaved a sigh. I’ve never played basketball, and I don’t understand the rules, but I could tell you two were obviously trying to outdo each other.” 

After saying that, she turned and checked on Joseph again. Can you walk?” 

Leaning heavily on his teammate’s shoulder, Joseph replied with a pale face, The bleeding seems to have stopped, but my right leg hurts with every step I take.” 

As he spoke, he attempted to demonstrate it to Lysander. However, no sooner had he taken a step forward

Lysander studied his knee intently and suggested, I’m not an orthopedic doctor, so I can’t determine the exact condition, nor do I dare fiddle with it recklessly. It would be best to go to the hospital as soon as possible for an Xray. You hit the kneecap. It would be troublesome if it’s dislocated.” 

Seemingly frightened, Joseph asked, How troublesome?” 

Your advantage as a sports science student will be gone, and just like everyone else, you’ll have to rely solely on your performance in your cultural course to get into university,Lysander answered solemnly

Joseph plunged into a panic. Im a boarding student, and my family isn’t here. Ms. Thorne, could you please take me to the hospital? Relying solely on my academic performance in my cultural course really wouldn’t work. I’m done for” 

I’ll call a taxi for you.” 

As Lysander spoke, she pulled out her phone to put her words into action

Suddenly, the phone was snatched away

In a cold voice, Josiah said, Doesn’t the school have a school doctor? You shouldn’t meddle in things that don’t concern you

The school’s infirmary isn’t equipped to perform Xray scans, so it’s best to go to the hospital.” 

Then, let his homeroom teacher take him there.” 

The homeroom teacher has other students. If he leaves, who will teach the rest of the students? Return my phone. I’ll contact my colleagues at Central Hospital to get him in line. The radiology department is crowded recently,Lysander said

Oh no, I hope I didn’t break my leg! Ouch!” 

Joseph was in such intense pain that sweat trickled down his cheeks

The sight made Daphne anxious. I’ve sold my car. Otherwise, I could drive him to the hospital. It’s hard to get a taxi here at Harborbrook Fifth High School, no thanks to the heavy traffic.” 

By then, Lysander had already snatched her phone back 

Upon tapping open the ehailing app, she found that Daphne was right. There were thirtyfive people in the queue

Daphne let out a mournful cry. “How long would we have to wait?” 

After some thought, Lysander turned her gaze to Josiah

Josiah was so infuriated that he alhost blew up. He gritted his teeth and hissed, You’re not going to suggest I drive him to the hospital, are you?” 

The patient comes first. I’m counting on you, Mr. Guerra.” 

Josiah was left without a retort

Lysander enlisted the help of Joseph’s close teammate. Together, they rode in Josiah’s car to the nearest hospital from Harborbrook Fifth High School

Chapter 586 Nothing You Must Do 

Finished 

Throughout the drive. Joseph constantly worried that he might end up crippled in the future. He frequently called out to Lysander and engaged her in conversation. Lysander treated that junior of hers as a patient, so she also comforted him with great patience

When getting out of the car, Lysander moved to support Joseph, but Josiah beat her to it

With a dark expression, he blocked her off and helped Joseph into the hospital with the latter’s teammate

In no time, the results of the examination were out

The doctor, looking at the Xray, reassured, Don’t worry. His bones are fine. At most, he has a minor soft tissue bruise. Just be careful not to get it wet in the next few days. He will make a full recovery in no time.” 

Standing outside the consultation room, Josiah let out a cold laugh before he turned around and left

After ascertaining that Joseph was fine, his teammate headed back to school for night class

Lysander stayed to accompany him as he got his wounds doctored

The nurse led Joseph into the treatment room. Seeing that the broken and bleeding skin had already been rinsed with clean water, she immediately used a pair of tweezers to dab an iodinesoaked cotton ball on his injury for disinfection

Ouch!Joseph gasped in pain

The nurse eased her touch, but as soon as she made contact, he winced in pain and leaned back. He looked at Lysander pitifully and said, Ms. Thorne, you’re also a doctor, so you must know how to disinfect wounds. Could you perhaps doctor my wound a bit more gently? The nurse seems quite busy. I just heard someone calling her.” 

Lysander glanced at the young nurse. The latter seemed a bit conflicted. It appears there was a car accident on the highway today, and we’ve received quite a few patients. The ER department is a bit short- 

staffed.” 

All right, then. Go ahead and get busy. I’ll handle things here.” 

Sure, sure. Thank you, Dr. Thorne.” 

The nurse left after leaving the necessary supplies for disinfection, leaving them to manage on their own
