Josiah gave an indifferent nod. He didn’t care whether Tillany was at the hospital to care for Dillon or visit someone, his question casual. However, Tillany’s response wasn’t an offhand one. She seized the opportunity to continue talking with him.
“Jose, are you free recently? My dad would like to have another chat with you.”
Tiffany gazed at him pleadingly, her tone pitiful.
The last time at the resort, Dillon had made his intentions of playing matchmaker between Josiah and Tiffany clear. If the man was genuinely willing to put his pride aside to meet Josiah, there was still at glimmer of hope.
Lysander had no interest in their conversation. She took the opportunity and interjected, “You guys carry on chatting. I’ve got things to attend to, so I’ll head in first.”
After she had said that, she turned around with the bouquet of baby’s breath in her arms and headed toward the inpatient department.
“Wait for me a moment.” Josiah followed her without hesitation. He didn’t even notice that Tiffany had more to say.
“Jose!” Tiffany chased after him for a few steps. Seeing that he had no intention of even glancing back to bid her goodbye, she reluctantly stopped.
The hand hidden behind her back slowly clenched, crushing the already crumpled medical report deep into her palm.
In the ward, Joseph leaned against the head of the bed, engrossed in watching a basketball game on his phone. Hearing a knock at the door, he assumed it was the nurse coming to change his dressing. Without lifting his head, he said, “Come in.”
Lysander’s gentle voice rang out. “If I hadn’t asked the nurse, I wouldn’t have known you’d moved here.”
She distinctly remembered that when she had first brought Joseph to the hospital, he was assigned to a standard ward with multiple patients. However, when she went over earlier, she couldn’t find him. It was only after she had gone to the nurse’s station that she learned he was moved to a single ward.
She reckoned it was his family who specially arranged for it upon learning of the situation, fearing that their child would suffer.
In an instant, Joseph put down his phone. His joy was palpable as he stood up and exclaimed, “Ms. Thorne! You’re here!”
With a gentle smile, Lysander replied, “Indeed. I’ve got no choice since I promised to come and visit you. How are you feeling today? Are your wounds still hurting?”
“Yes, they’re killing me,” Joseph whined with an air of grievance, quickly putting his radiant smile away.
A chilly voice timely echoed from behind Lysander. “Really? Aren’t you a professional basketball player? You must’ve had worse injuries before, right?”
With the bouquet of lilies in his arms, Josiah strode over to the hospital bed and positioned himself

said, “Get well soon.”
He was tall. As soon as he stood there, he immediately blocked Lysander from view behind him.
Joseph lifted his gaze to meet his, and sparks seemed to crackle invisibly in the air between hem.

A moment later, Joseph raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, saying with great difficulty. “I’m sorry, but I have a pollen allergy.”
Before Josiah could react, Lysander quickly stepped forward and took the lilies away. She placed them outside the window and said, “Sorry, I wasn’t aware of that and also brought flowers. Had I known, perhaps I should have just bought milk instead.”
Upon seeing that Lysander also intended to remove the bouquet of baby’s breath flowers she brought, Joseph quickly dropped his hand and said, “It’s okay, Ms. Thorne. Baby’s breath doesn’t have pollen, and it’s actually my favorite.”
Lysander gave a slight nod and placed the bouquet of baby’s breath on the bedside table.
Josiah’s face darkened as he looked on. He said to Joseph lowly, “Your symptoms are quite intriguing, a case of selective allergy.”
Joseph feigned surprise. “Isn’t it basic biology from high school? Dude, did you not pay attention during your
classes? Everyone has different physiques, so allergens and allergic reactions naturally vary.”
This brat actually has some nerve!
Josiah’s expression immediately darkened further.
Lysander was somewhat puzzled. “High school biology classes these days teach such intricate details? We didn’t have that during our time.”
Joseph was exceptionally well–behaved in front of Lysander, a completely different person from his earlier self on the basketball court, where he charged around like a little tyrant.
“The teacher didn’t cover it. I learned on my own.” As his eyes sparkled as he looked at Lysander, he asserted, “Ms. Thorne, I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to follow your example and attend Harborbrook Medical University.”
Lysander’s affection for Harborbrook Medical University was no less than that for Harborbrook Fifth High School. Seeing Joseph speak with such seriousness, she encouraged him, saying, “That’s great. If you can really get in, you’ll be my junior again. However, Harborbrook Medical University‘,tance scores have been growing increasingly higher in recent years, so you must work hard.”
Joseph patted his chest, promising, “No problem!”
I let him continue, he would probably push his luck and confess his feelings to Lysander again.
Josiah cleared his throat, then casually remarked from the side, “I remember you’re a sports science student. If you switch to medicine now, are you sure it’s really your field?”
Joseph rolled with the punches. “What’s so difficult about that? When it’s time for the college entrance exam, I’ll abandon the specialization track and sit for the exam like other cultural course students.”
Josiah was waiting for those words precisely. Upon hearing them, he immediately snickered.

“Forgive my bluntness, but there’s now less than half a year left until the college entrance exam. Do you think there’s enough time to switch to the cultural course at such a crucial moment?”

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....
