The Charming ExWife 

Chapter 671 He Is A Very Important Person 

Finished 

With unwavering certainty, Lysander said, I’m an adult, just like your mom and dad, so I have the right to– go in. Please step aside.” 

Rhizone firmly blocked the clinic door. Even though Lysander was desperate enough to force her there was no guarantee that she could overpower the child

way in

While Lysander was in a state of panic and at a loss, another figure came running over. It was none other than the village chief, Blaine, with his head of white hair

Before the break of dawn, Blaine, advanced in age as he was, was running frantically like that. It was certain that something grave must’ve occurred

Lysander brushed past Rhizone and asked worriedly, Josiah Guerra? Is that you?” 

It’s me.Blaine, after all, was an old man. He was already panting heavily after the short run and struggling to speak. Yet, upon seeing Lysander’s anxious expression and the wound on her cheek, he expressed his deep regret. Rhizone and Nilou told me something had happened to you and Mr. Guerra, so I came to check.” 

His words carried a palpable sense of hesitation, skillfully dodging her inquiries without giving a direct 

answer

Lysander’s hand, which was resting on the table, suddenly clenched. She was so absorbed that she didn’t even notice her nails digging into her palm. Did you also come fromthe lakeside?” 

Upon seeing Blaine arrive, Rhizone expressed his gratitude and stepped away from the door

Blaine spoke while shaking his head, his voice filled with lingering fear and poignant regret. Yes, the commotion last night was too serious. I was woken up and thought it would be the same as before, just Laying low would do the trick. However, not long after everyone had stayed away, the police and some people came looking for you at the village entrance. Everyone then went to the lake, where the turmoil was even more intense. There were bloodstains on the path and the boat by the lake, and even the surrounding ground, but we didn’t know the situation further inside. The police had set up warning tape around the area, claiming they needed to preserve evidence, so they forbade anyone to disrupt the scene.” 

The villagers, having limited exposure to the outside world, held a natural reverence for public officials. When they were told to keep their distance, no one dared to step closer

Rhizone knew about the situation of the lotus cluster in the lake better than anyone else, having been the earliest to arrive and having guided the police and Carol. He realized the warning tape had been set up nearby once he returned, making the situation increasingly tense 

Warning tape was something that was typically found at a crime scene

Lysander didn’t sleep a wink the previous night. She was either running around or trying to think of a solution anxiously. Her heart had tensed up from stress, and she asked with bated breath, Mr. Alvarez, did they say anything else? Or was anyone stopped at the scene?” 

Those jerks ran incredibly fast. Not a single one of them was caught.” 

Every time Blaine mentioned the thugs, he would get so wound up that his jaw would clench. He took a moment to compose himself before continuing, However, the police called me, Alan, and a few families

experienced and the commotion last night. After they noticed the bloodstains, they called for an ambulance, but not everyone who arrived were doctors.” 

His words raised Lysander’s guard. Who could they be if not doctors?” 

Finished 

I heard the people setting up the warning tape calling him a forensic doctor. He wore a white coat but didn’t seem close to the doctors. He seemed more like a colleague of the police,” Blaine said, his face full of confusion, for he had never seen a forensic doctor before and was unclear about their role

Lysander was well aware of the role of a forensic doctor, though. Her body swayed

A forensic doctor

Rhizone and Blaine hurried over to help steady Lysander. However, she quickly regained her composure after feeling as if cold water had been poured over her head

Seeing her reaction, Blaine seemed to realize something and asked, Dr. Thorne, are you okay? Is Mr. Guerra perhaps” 

He dared not continue, consumed by so much guilt that he looked to be on the verge of tears. At his reaction, Lysander quickly steadied herself and turned the table, comforting him. I’m okay. Really, I’m okay. He will be too.” 

Her assurance was not only meant for them but also herself

Rhizone blinked anxiously, asking with concern, Dr. Thorne? Dr. Thorne!” 

Lysander pressed her lips tightly, shaking her head to signal that she was fine

Seeing the situation, Blaine quickly rubbed his eyes and said, Get some rest if you’re tired, Dr. Thorne. I’l keep an eye on things by the lake. Actually, I’ll head back there and ask again. Mr. Guerra is a good man. I’m sure he’s blessed.” 

Lysander reluctantly nodded

At least, Josiah has done a commendable act of aiding the poor and vulnerable this time. Even if the heavens were to punish him, it wouldn’t be now

With those thoughts in mind, Lysander decided to stay in the clinic to avoid causing trouble for Blaine and the others

Given the serious incident that happened in the village, it was highly unlikely anyone would come for a consultation that day. She stayed put because she had no energy left to move. Plus, she figured she would be the first to receive any news by being in the front yard if there were any developments in the case

Rhizone dutifully remembered the instructions Josiah gave, and without anyone asking, he consciously stayed behind to keep Lysander company

Lysander recalled that he had stayed up all night and gently suggested, Rhizone, why don’t you go home and check on Nilou and your parents? It’s important for a family to be together at times like these.” 

I promised Josiah to protect you, so I can’t leave,” Rhizone stated, shaking his head so vigorously to express his determination

Seeing how serious he was, Lysander chuckled. The sun is already up. No bad guys are brazen enough to

cause harm at this hour

Rhizone still shook his head. Still no. You’re injured.” 

Finished 

Lysander glanced at the scabbedover wound on her hand and reassured, It’s okay. Considering last night’s situation, it’s remarkable enough that you brought me here. Perhaps neither of us could escape if it weren’t for you.While speaking those words, she was puzzled

Even though she had already called Tiffany and clearly explained the pros and cons of the situation, Tiffany was clever and would’ve undoubtedly understood the underlying implications

But why on earth would those thugs still harm Josiah? Did the news arrive too late? Or maybe Tiffany is… 

Dr. Thorne, what happened to you?” 

The nursesarrival disrupted Lysander’s train of thought. Seeing her injured, the three nurses immediately began searching for BandAid and iodine to disinfect her wounds. Even though Lysander insisted she was fine, they were still worried. As they tended to her injuries, they inquired about what had happened the night before

Dr. Thorne, when the villagers came to tell us to hide last night, you and Mr. Guerra hadn’t returned yet, and we were worried sick about you.” 

Are these injuries from last night?” 

Why isn’t Mr. Guerra with you… 

They all meant well, but Lysander was physically and mentally exhausted. She had barely managed to keep up, luckily, Anita, who came to deliver breakfast appeared just in time, helping her to answer the nursesquestions
