The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 44 She’s Too Busy for That

Josiah waited until after 11 p.m. that night, but Lysander never came out. He stopped a young nurse and asked, “Is Dr. Thorne from the obstetrics and gynecology department still here?”

The nurse was taken aback for a moment. “Dr. Thorne has already left a while ago.” From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Didn’t you guys call her back for overtime duty for an emergency?”

“Oh, you mean the patient who had a miscarriage,” the nurse said, “her heavy bleeding has been stopped, and she has been transferred to the ICU. The doctors in the ICU are taking care of her now, so Dr. Thorne left.”

“But I’ve been waiting at the door the whole time and didn’t see her.”

The nurse blinked her eyes. “Then I’m not sur from there.”

but our hospital has a side door. She might have left

She’s already left. She went out through the side door expressly to avoid me. Josiah smiled wryly and closed his

eves.

The nurse asked, “Do you have something to discuss with Dr. Thorne?”

“1. Josiah paused. He asked, “You just said Dr. Thorne came back because a pregnant woman had a miscarriage with heavy bleeding?”

“Yes.”

“In the case of a miscarriage, is heavy bleeding common?”

“It’s not too common. It varies from person to person”

“Will it be very painful?”

The nurse said, “Of course. It’s like tearing a piece of Desh out of your belly. How can it not be painful?”

Josiah didn’t know how he managed to drive back home. Along the way, all he could hear in his mind was the nurse’s words. It’s like tearing a piece of flesh out of your belly. How can it not be painful?

He recalled that afternoon when he rushed from the hilltop to the hospital entrance and saw her. She was wearing an oversized hospital gown, her face pale as if drained of all color. She was supported by Daphne, looking like she could collapse at any moment. How could it not hurt? It was clear from the way she looked that she was in so much pain that she could barely speak properly.

He scanned his fingerprint and opened the door, only to be hit by a strong, greasy smell of takeout food.

Lysanne was sitting on the sofa with a box of fried chicken in hand, laughing heartily while watching a variety show on TV. “How come you’re back so late?” she complained unhappily. “Did Lysander contact you again?”

Lysanne licked the sauce off her fingers, pouting. “Is she giving up like that after losing a money tree like you? I don’t believe it.”

Josiah felt exhausted. He wanted to sit on the sofa, but as he came closer, he realized it was covered in remnants of her snacks-fruit peels, melon seed husks, and snack crumbs.

He chuckled in exasperation. “Is this why you wanted to replace the fabric sofa with a leather one?”

Lysanne shrugged. “It’s easier to clean this way. Fabric sofas need to be washed if they get dirty, but leather ones only need a quick wipe.”

“From now on, no cating on the sofa. It attracts cockroaches.”

“I just like to eat and watch TV at the same time.” Lysanne raised her chin. “I’ve always been like this, and you know that.”

Josiah was rendered speechless.

There was no place to sit on the sofa, so he got up and walked toward the bedroom.

Lysanne stood up suddenly and called out to him, “Hey, Josiah, where are you going?”

“I’m going to rest in the bedroom.”

“No, come here and watch TV with me.”

“Lysanne, I’m really tired.”

“I don’t care. You used to always go along with me, even skipping classes to go to the amusement park with me. Now, what’s wrong with watching TV with me? Did Lysander say something to you again? Did she call you after deleting you on WhatsApp? Did she badmouth me?”

“No, she didn’t.”

“I don’t believe you!” Lysanne exclaimed as she jumped off the sofa, ignoring the grease from the snacks on her hands as she tried to grab his phone. “Let me check your phone! It must be because I went to the hospital to confront her today. She’s holding a grudge, so she complained to you-”

Josiah couldn’t take it anymore. “Can you stop blaming everything on Lysander? She’s avoiding us now. She won’t come to me anymore!”
