When Josiah finished washing up, Lysander checked his wounds. Seeing that they hadn't gotten wet, she nodded approvingly.
Josiah said, “Don't worry, I don't want to be a cripple either.”
Lysander pushed him out of the bathroom, walking slowly. Her tone softened. “You need to focus on healing during this time, understand?”
“Mm.”
Susan and Laura had been looking after Aurora for them. When they saw Josiah sitting in an electric wheelchair being pushed by Lysander, they exchanged a knowing smile.
After all this time, these two young people had returned to their original paths.
Josiah refused to stay in the hospital, but his injuries required rest. No matter how long he spent with Aurora and Lysander before bed, he had to return to the makeshift ward when he got truly tired.
Apart from Aurora being a light sleeper who could be disturbed by the sound of the wheelchair, there was also the matter of the ointment for his burns that could stain the bed sheets and affect his treatment.
Josiah's back and waist had been scorched by the flames, so he could only sleep lying on his stomach. Even when Carol and Peter came to have him sign documents, a low table had to be brought to his bedside.
After he returned home, the tension he had been holding in his heart dissipated, causing the discomfort that had been forcefully suppressed throughout his body to resurface. Even the slightest touch to the injured area caused a heart-wrenching pain. As for the areas showing signs of infection, it was certain they would leave scars, the only difference being their severity.
Lysander treated their home like a ward. After greeting them, she handed him a pen and reminded him, “Try not to move your right leg.”
Josiah took the pen, remaining as still as possible except for his hand. He smiled. “Okay, I promise not to move.”
He was very compliant with medical advice now.
Seeing this, Carol remarked lightheartedly, “Mr. Guerra, with your wife watching over you, we can finally rest easy. By the way, these are the revised documents for your review.”
Knowing they were discussing work, Lysander excused herself before anyone could ask.
Josiah had promised her he would reconsider his previous decisions. She didn't want to know how he planned to distribute his belongings and had no desire to covet them.
With just Carol and Peter left in the room, they continued discussing business.
“Mr. Guerra, are you sure you don't want your wife to stay and look at this?” Carol asked, watching Lysander leave.
The previous will had lost its legal effect and needed to be redrafted. The new will included more provisions for Lysander, but she knew nothing about it.
“No, she doesn't need to know,” Josiah replied seriously. “The will only matters when I'm gone, and I won't be around to see it. Though I may not hold much weight in her heart, I don't want her to be sad prematurely.”
He finished reviewing the document, pointing out a section. “Here, add some more, as I mentioned. Have the legal department revise it...”
Back when Lysander was in the medical university, she excelled in all subjects, but to doctors, nursing wasn't that important, so she was uneasy.
While Carol and Peter talked business with Josiah, Lysander was in the study, reading relevant materials. It felt like she was back in school, preparing for exams. She became so engrossed she didn't notice what was happening outside.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah)
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....
