The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 631

Chapter 631 I Am Here By Your Side 

The cries within the ward grew louder, piercing and heartwrenching

Finished 

Snapping back to reality, Lysander saw her father, who was covered with a white sheet, being wheeled away by the nurses

She realized she was no longer the little girl her father used to send to school while walking hand in hand. Tears streaming down her face, she ran forward, growing taller and older with each stride until she finally morphed into her current self

Dad, don’t leave. Wait for me… 

This time, Maverick did not look back like he used to when dropping her off at school. The darkness around her gradually engulfed her

Lysander! Wake up!Another familiar voice roused her from the nightmare

She slowly opened her eyes and met Josiah’s concerned gaze. He must have been watching over her for quite some time. Even his lips had become pale and dry

Where’s my dad? Josiah, where is he?she asked anxiously, clutching his arm

Understanding her distress, he replied gently, Calm down and listen to me. Your father passed away peacefully without any pain. He even had a smile on his face.” 

Is he truly gone? She gripped the blanket beneath her as hot tears slid down from the corners of her eyes, unable to utter another word

He stayed by her side until she had calmed down before beginning to recount the events that had transpired after she lost consciousness

After you passed out, Mrs. Thorne also soon fainted from crying too hard. She hasn’t woken up yet. Michelle is devastated, but she’s staying strong and is currently with her in the ward next door. As for Mr. Thorne’s funeral arrangementsThe hospital contacted the funeral home but I asked them to hold things off for now, so the cremation hasn’t taken place yet. Do you want to” 

He wanted to ask whether she intended to visit Laura first or go to the morgue to take one last look at Maverick. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he found himself unable to say anything. Both of these options are just too cruel

She was no longer crying and merely nodded numbly instead. Regardless of what he said to her next, she had no intention of responding

Seeing that reminded him of the time she lost her child, and the pain of that memory was as though someone was twisting a knife in his heart. It was unbearable

by time can heal the pain of losing a loved one. All I can do is take care of her family until she regains her 

However, only spirits

It’s late already, and you barely touched your dinner. If you keep this up, you won’t be able to hold up. I’ve asked someone to get some soup. Have a little, okay?” 

My

mom and Michelle probably haven’t eaten anything yet, right?”

I had someone deliver some over already. Mrs. Thorne will be able to eat when she wakes up.” 

Lysander gave a slight nod

He pulled a chair over to sit by the bed and told her about the situation in the adjacent ward as he opened the takeaway container. Then, he spooned up some soup and brought it to her lips. Come, open your 

mouth 

There was a spark in her gaze when she heard him mention her mother and sister. How’s Michelle doing?” 

She claims she has cried enough for the day and that her tears have nearly run dry, so she’s not going to cry anymore. Even if it’s only to take good care of Mrs. Thome, she forced herself to have some soup. She has grown up a lot,he replied with a hint of nostalgia

She lowered her head in anguish and hastily rubbed her face

After he finished speaking in a low voice, he continued to cautiously persuade her to eat. At least have a little bit to eat.” 

I really have no appetite,” she answered dully

It broke his heart to hear her voice that had been reduced to a hoarse whisper from all her crying. If Mr. Thorne were looking down on us from heaven, he surely wouldn’t want to see you like this. Even if it’s just so he can rest at ease, you must take good care of yourself.” 

When she heard that, her body swayed slightly, finally showing some movement. She attempted to lift her hand to take the spoon but found that the little strength she had left had been completely depleted during her time in the ICU. She was so weak that she did not even have the energy to ball her hand into a fist

Just sit there. I’ll feed you,he quickly said

He gently held the spoon up to her lips, waiting for her to slowly swallow before scooping up another spoonful. However, she furrowed her brows, retching while struggling to suppress the discomfort welling up from her stomach

Josiah quickly set down the container of soup and rushed to pat her back

Josiah,” she said, her face awash with tears.. 

It was hard to tell whether it was because of her grief or from the retching

Mm, I’m here,he murmured, using a tissue to wipe her face

I don’t want to eat anymore.” 

When one was consumed by sorrow, it was impossible for them to have 

any appetite

Seeing that, he dared not persuade her to drink the soup anymore. Instead, he set down the takeaway container, picked up the thermos flask he had prepared earlier to pour her a cup of warm water, then held it out to her. All right. You don’t have to eat for now if you don’t want to. How about drinking some water?” 

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly. At the thought of everything she had to attend to after this, she finally forced herself to take a sip of water from the cup in his hand

Josiah waited until she shook her head to indicate she did not want to drink anymore. He was about to place the cup back on the bedside table and coax her to sleep, but before he could even get up, she had already stood up with an expression of anguish. Not only was her gait unsteady, but she also looked so frail as though she could break at any moment

Let me help-he began, assuming that Lysander was worried about Laura and Michelle next door and wanted to check on them. However, he was midsentence when he saw her cover her mouth and rush into the bathroom

She managed to stay upright by leaning heavily against the water tank for support. Then, she bent over and threw up the water and soup she had just consumed
