The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 738

Upon hearing these words, Lynn quirked an eyebrow and said, “Dr. Thorne, there's no need to hide anything from me. Given your medical skills, you could easily find work in a foreign hospital. This time you've returned, everyone is more than happy to welcome you back. No one is going to talk behind your back.”

The conversation seemed to veer off into a direction that Lysander found incomprehensible.

“I was thinking of returning to our department to work, but isn't there a procedure to follow? Has the recruitment schedule changed this year?” Lysander asked, a look of confusion on her face.

Seeing her seemingly clueless expression, Lynn ceased her laughter and spoke seriously. “But Dr. Ziegler already announced it to everyone in the last meeting, didn't he? The department head knew about it too. Everyone knew you were coming back. Did you really think you could keep it from me?”

The news had spread throughout the entire hospital, yet Lysander, the person directly involved, remained unaware.

A hint of speculation surfaced in Lysander's heart, but it wasn't a sure thing, so it wasn't appropriate to show it in front of Lynn. She vaguely replied, “I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just... the exact time hasn't been set, so it's not good to say anything right now.”

This reason was incredibly far-fetched.

With a face full of worry, Lynn looked at her and asked, “Why is it still uncertain? Are you still planning to go abroad?”

“No, not at all,” Lysander hastily shook her head, holding the paper cup filled with hot water. “I just... didn't expect things to go so smoothly. You should get back to work. I saw a patient's family member heading that way earlier, they might be looking for you.”

Upon learning that a patient was looking for her, Lynn had no time to continue the conversation. She hurriedly turned and headed toward her office.

Lysander returned to the burn department in a distracted state, expecting to see Josiah in the waiting area. However, he was nowhere to be found. She naturally assumed that he must have gone in for a bandage change. Yet, after waiting for a while, when the consultation room door finally opened, the person who emerged was not him.

As noon approached, the morning's patients had all been attended to. The doctor began tidying up the medical records, but showed no signs of leaving just yet. It seemed as though he was waiting for someone.

Lysander wasn't exactly close with him, but it was safe to say they knew each other. In the past, whenever they met in the hospital, they would always greet each other. She approached and knocked on the door, asking, “Has Josiah already left?”

The doctor shook his head in surprise. “Mr. Guerra suddenly had some urgent matters to attend to. He said to let other patients go first. Didn't he go to find you?”

The speed at which gossip spread in the hospital was no slower than anywhere else.

When Lysander initially divorced her good-for-nothing ex-husband and subsequently moved to Stounia alone to further her studies, the news had once caused quite a stir. However, it now seemed that the situation wasn't quite as the rumors suggested.

These two people were quite fond of each other.

The doctor noticed Lysander deep in thought and, as if just remembering, congratulated her. “Dr. Thorne, you must have gained a lot from this support mission, right? Once all the formalities are completed, remember to share with us. Dr. Ziegler mentioned that you are expected to give a report upon your return.”

He exchanged a few pleasantries with Lysander, all the while wearing a smile.

It seemed that the news of her returning to work had indeed become common knowledge throughout the entire institution.

Lysander was truly at a loss for words. She thought to herself that it was unlikely for Josiah, a grown man, to get lost in Central Hospital. Perhaps he had just gone to the restroom.

The accessible restroom had always been well maintained, so there was really nothing to worry about.

The most pressing matter at hand was to quickly figure out exactly what had happened.

Lysander headed straight for the Fred's office. Back when she hadn't yet resigned, he had taken good care of her due to her talent. When she wanted to take a temporary leave, it was Fred who had helped her get involved in volunteer activities.
