His Beloved Ex-Wife (Lysander) novel Chapter 722

Lysander awoke from a nightmare, staring into the dark void of the night. It took her a long time to bring her thoughts back to reality.

She grabbed her phone and checked it, but there were no missed calls, and the police still had no updates.

Only a few messages from Carol reminded her that some documents needed Josiah's personal seal's stamp.

Wiping her face, Lysander realized she was drenched in cold sweat.

She did not sleep a wink the rest of the night.

The next day, Howard and Molly visited.

Howard had been juggling managing Thorne Constructions and Energies while accompanying Molly to the hospital for her rehabilitation. He wished he could split himself in two due to his hectic schedule.

However, Josiah's accident, while hidden from the public, couldn't be kept from those close to them.

“We heard about what happened.” Howard's voice was strained, his eyes filled with concern as he looked at Lysander. “Don't worry too much, Josiah will come back.”

Lysander was playing with the still-frightened Aurora. She paused at Howard's words but quickly smiled and replied softly, “Yes, I know.”

For some reason, Lysander had a strong feeling that Josiah was still alive, just temporarily missing even though his current situation seemed more like he was neither alive nor dead.

Worried that Lysander was putting on a brave face, Molly gently asked about her plans, “Lysa, you need to rest well. We are keeping an eye on things for Josiah.”

Lysander nodded but was clearly distracted.

Feeling bad for her, Howard suggested, “Lys, why don't you keep yourself busy with something else? Do you want to go back to the hospital to work?”

“I don't plan to go back for now,” Lysander said, having thought it through carefully.

Howard asked, “You don't want to continue being a doctor?”

“I do, but Josiah went missing trying to save me. Until he comes back, I can't just leave everything behind. Due to her position, Ms. Collins can't handle everyone. Josiah's personal seal is with me. I have to step in for as long as I can.”

Hearing that Lysander planned to manage Guerra Group temporarily, Howard was relieved but also worried.

“You will be overworked. Besides, Guerra Group is much more complex than Thorne Constructions and Energies. Even with Ms. Collins' help, it might be too much. Maybe find someone who can really hold things down.”

He glanced toward the second floor, where the master bedroom was located. The layout was the same as their own home.

Susan always appeared confident in front of others, certain that Josiah would return, but privately, she would often sigh.

When Lysander quietly inquired with Eleanor, she learned that Susan had been suffering from severe insomnia and needed sleeping pills to rest. This made her even more worried.
