His Beloved Ex-Wife (Lysander) novel Chapter 736

The excitement was always temporary, and it faded away as the night grew quiet.

Lysander lay in bed, gazing at Aurora, yet she still felt a wave of loneliness.

The words Josiah had spoken to her before bed echoed incessantly in her mind, like a resounding echo.

He simply wished for her to be truly happy...

“Wu wu...

Aurora made noises in her sleep.

Lysander gently patted her, coaxing her to bed.

She usually did this in the past.

But that night, Aurora seemed to be uneasy. She kept scrunching up her little nose and would occasionally raise her hand. After Lysander tried to soothe her for a while, she finally puckered up her tiny mouth and started to cry.

Aurora's development was incomplete, and sometimes, due to a lack of awareness that her hand was a part of her own body, she would tightly clutch her hair and refuse to let go.

“Waaa!”

At last, there was no longer a need to feel desolate.

Lysander draped on her robe and sat up, starting to gently rock Aurora in an attempt to soothe her.

Seeing that her current approach wasn't working, she went to check Aurora's diaper. Once she skillfully changed the considerably wet diaper, Aurora's cries finally weakened. However, tears were still continuously rolling down her cheeks.

Could it be that she is hungry?

She wanted to go prepare Aurora formula, but her tiny hand was clutching her sleeve tightly, making it impossible for her to put Aurora in the crib.

Holding Aurora while preparing the formula wasn't exactly impossible, but if things got chaotic, there was a chance the child could get scalded.

Just as Lysander was at her wit's end, hesitating whether to take Aurora and seek help from Laura, there came a soft knock on the bedroom door.

At that moment, he was the only one who could have come.

“The door isn't locked, come on in.”

Lysander simply couldn't free her hands to open the door for him.

Josiah gently pushed the door open, immediately noticing Lysander pacing around the room and Aurora in her arms that was crying so hard she was gasping for breath. He quietly said, “I asked Eleanor earlier, and she said that babies around one year old are typically going through teething, which often disrupts their sleep at night.”

Ultimately, all that knowledge did come in handy one day. He moved forward, trying to help Lysander soothe Aurora. However, with one hand needed to support his crutch, it wasn't easy for him to directly take Aurora into his arms.

“What should I do when Aurora gets fussy? I've mainly cared for newborns at the hospital, never really looked after a baby this big... It seems like my previous experience isn't applicable here.” Lysander was so preoccupied that she didn't even bother tucking her stray hair behind her ear.

“Hold on to Aurora for me for a bit, I'm going to prepare some formula. Once she's full, she should sleep more comfortably. If she cries, just hang in there, I'll be right back!”

After she said that, she gestured for Josiah to sit down first. If he didn't, he simply wouldn't have the hands free to hold the child.

Josiah hesitated, glancing at Lysander's bed. He was clad in his pajamas, so logically, sitting down should not be an issue. The problem was, his wounds were treated with medicinal oil, leaving a faint medicinal scent on him.

Upon seeing Aurora crying like that, Lysander couldn't possibly concern himself with anything else. She immediately reassured, “Please, sit down without worry. There's nothing more important than soothing the child right now.”
