The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 730

Lysander didn't know what Josiah was thinking. She went directly to buy a wheelchair and brought it over. When he sat down, she said seriously, “With your condition, you should remain in the hospital. Tonight...”

“I don't want to stay in the hospital,” Josiah cut her off before she could finish.

Lysander was surprised. “You need IV fluids and medication changes. If you don't stay in the hospital, I'll have to come over and help with the injections. Besides, Aurora has been unusually clingy lately, and there's a heap of things at the company. I'm exhausted, so I might not be able to find your vein.”

To Josiah, these trivial matters sounded like music to his ears. He smiled. “It's okay. I just miss home with you.”

His last sentence was filled with tenderness.

The Thorne manor had once again become their home. This time, Josiah was determined to hold her hand tightly and not let her feel disheartened again.

Lysander calmly consulted the doctor. After confirming that she was indeed capable of taking care of him, she agreed to let him come home.

Susan had almost given up hope of seeing Josiah again. When he finally returned home, she almost burst into tears of joy and hugged him tightly. “It's good that you're back...”

After confirming that her son was safe, she went to church to express her gratitude.

Laura, Nilou, and Rhizone were also pleasantly surprised. Seeing the reunion scene between mother and son, they couldn't help but shed tears.

The Thorne manor hadn't been so lively in a long time.

Watching from the side, Lysander immediately understood why Josiah wanted to come home. After dinner, she told him, “No wonder you want to come back. The hospital really doesn't have this kind of lively atmosphere.”

The family doctor had already sent over all the necessary supplies for IV fluids and medication changes, and the housekeeper had prepared an empty room as a makeshift hospital ward.

Josiah could receive the same treatment at home as he would in the hospital, but more importantly, he could be cared for by Lysander. For this alone, he was willing to pay any price.

Lysander treated Josiah with a calm and gentle demeanor, caring for him as if he were a patient. She skillfully administered the injections, performing each action confidently and precisely. He didn't feel any pain.

After Josiah changed into home clothes, his appearance improved a lot. Facing her, he became more relaxed. “It's not just because of this.”

He looked deeply at her, hiding the rest of his words in his eyes.

Lysander appeared particularly composed, seemingly oblivious as she asked, “You've had a mild fever for several days now. Haven't you noticed? You'll need to be hooked to the IV drip for at least a week. If you were in the hospital, you'd only have to endure one IV insertion. At home, you'd have to endure one every day.”

Josiah would rather endure five injections from her. He hesitated and asked, “If I were in the hospital, would you be with me?”

He had been relying on thoughts of her to get through the previous period.

“I'll come visit you,” Lysander replied honestly.

Josiah got his answer and didn't seem too disappointed. He smiled, his mood brightened as if he had received her promise.

Lying in the stroller, Aurora hadn't seen him for so long, but after looking at him for a while, she wasn't afraid anymore. She eagerly reached out her little hand toward him.

Josiah couldn't free up his hands to hold her, so he gently touched her cheek with the back of his hand.

Josiah reluctantly admitted, “Actually, I already washed up in the village before I left.”

“With cold water?”

“Yes.”

That seemed to explain the recurring fever and infections in his wounds.

Lysander had mysophobia, so she could empathize with him. Seeing his hopeful gaze and attempts to soften her resolve, she came up with an idea. “Look, it's no use with me. As your attending physician now, I can't allow you to shower. We'll have to settle for a sponge bath.”

“That'll do,” Josiah eagerly agreed, fearing she might change her mind. He had only been in the wheelchair for half a day, but he had already mastered the necessary movements and wheeled himself to the bathroom.

Lysander didn't wait for him to ask. She had already prepared to help by bringing in a chair.

While the wheelchair could be secured to the ground, the bathroom tiles were slippery. If he slipped while standing up, it could lead to lasting leg injuries.

After some thought, she decided it was safest for him to sit in the chair.

“The wound areas on your legs didn't bleed, which is good for recovery. But your burns must absolutely not come into contact with water again. Further infection could be very dangerous.”

After ensuring everything was set up, Lysander volunteered to wait outside to avoid any inconvenience in case he needed assistance.

Josiah was eager to clean himself up. He immediately took off his shirt to begin drying his back. However, he noticed she abruptly paused in her movements and gasped as she looked at him.
