The Charming Ex–Wife

 Chapter 523 Had It Figured Out

 Lysander deeply gazed at him for a moment, then pulled out her phone and took a number herself.

 The one holding the consultation that day was someone familiar to her.

 Squeezing out a smile. Lysander greeted, “Dr. Arman, it’s been a while.”

 Arman adjusted his sses. “Dr. Thorne? When I first saw the patient’s name, I thought it was a coincidence. I didn’t expect it to really be you.”

 Sitting across the table, Lysander replied, “There can’t be that many people sharing the same name.”

 A slight change crossed Josiah’s expression, who was standing off to the side.

 Arman had worked with Lysander in the same hospital before and had heard a thing or two about her personal life. He hesitated, asking. “And this is?”

 Lysander’s expression remained unchanged. “A friend.”

 Josiah didn’t argue and began to describe her condition. “She started feeling unwell yesterday, and after breakfast today, she unexinably threw up several times. Could you please take a look at her?”

 “I see,” said Arman without further inquiries. He dutifully began to prepare a prescription for Lysander and conduct a check–up.

 The results came out quite swiftly.

 Arman pondered, “All your readings are normal, and your digestive system seems quite healthy. The cause of your vomiting is likely not a physical issue, but rather a psychological one.”

 As fellow doctors, Lysander naturally understood what he meant.

 Josiah asked, “A psychological issue?”

 Arman waved his hands dismissively. “It’s not as serious as you think. It’s just stress–induced vomiting. The stomach is an emotional organ, after all. If Dr. Thorne can manage to worry less and rest more, she should recover quickly.”

 Josiah experienced a minor déjà vu when he heard that.

 Lysander nodded. “I’ve been pretty busytely, but I’ll do my best.”

 “Then, I’ll prescribe you some stress–relieving supplement to boost your energy and improve your sleep. After a period of adjustment, along with a nutritious diet and ample rest, you should be fine. As a doctor yourself, you’re well aware of how to take care of your health, so I won’t bbor the point,” said Arman.

 “All right. Thank you, Dr. Arman”

 Throughout the entire process, Josiah remained mostly silent. He paid the fees and then went to the pharmacy to pick up the traditional medicine prescribed by Arman. Afterward, he carefully escorted Lysander out of the hospital/

 Upon returning to the hotel, it was already dusk.

 After seeing Lysander off, Josiah returned to his room to pick up Aurora, who he had previously entrusted to the care of the hotel staff.

 Aurora was peacefully sleeping in the stroller.

 Lysander came over for a look and saw that Aurora’splexion was rosy. In thetter’s sleep, she would asionally smile and smack her lips, clearly indicating she was well–fed and content. Seeing that, Lysander returned to her room, her mind at ease.

 A massive pile of documents that Aiden had sent was still waiting for her to review.

 In the past couple of days, it had been one thing after another with Lysanne and Tiffany, and to top it all off, she wasn’t feeling well herself. That had already caused a dy of two days.

 Lysander thought, When Ms. Lionhart returns tomorrow, I’ll have to assist Daphne with the investment matters. If I don’t buckle down, I’ll really run out of time.

 At some point, Josiah had followed her over. As she was about to close the door, he stopped her, gently saying. “Stop worrying. You should rest now,”

 Lysander pointed toward the documents on the living room coffee table. “I’ll take a look at these before going to sleep”

 “You’ve been busy all day and haven’t eaten anything yet.” Josiah replied earnestly. “Arman mentioned you need to eat properly”

 Lysander didn’t reply.

 “Let’s go,” he suggested, leading the way. “I’ll have someone bring up the food. Besides, Aurora will wake up soon, and I won’t be able to handle it alone.”

 Lysander remained still.

 Josiah had already stepped through the door ahead of her, picking up the documents on the table. Then, he came back to lead her inside..

 Just as he was about to touch her hand, he hesitated.

 He slowly let down his hand, refraining from touching her anymore. “Let’s go.”

 Upon returning to his room, Josiah hurried to the bedside to check on Aurora. Seeing that she had woken up at some point and was stretching her arms and legs in an attempt to kick off her little nket, he set aside the documents he was holding and bent down to pick her up. “Awake already? Feeling hungry?”

 Aurora was in a good mood, not fussing even though she couldn’t find her mother. Instead, she nestledfortably in his arms, her big eyes flickering as she looked toward Lysander.

 Lysander walked over and gently caressed Aurora’s soft little face, whispering, “She must have just taken at short nap. Such sleep is usually light.”

 Josiah picked up Aurora’s bottle, mixed it with warm water, and fed her.

 As Aurora was sipping water, her eyes remained fixated on Lysander. She babbled a few words in her baby talk that no one could understand.

 Every time Lysander faced Aurora, she felt a softness in her heart. She gently stroked Aurora’s back. ensuring thetter wouldn’t choke while drinking water.

 It seemed as though Aurora was somewhat discontented, persistently leaning toward the direction of the

 Josiah didn’t quite understand and asked Lysander, “Does she want to go out?”

 Lysander didn’t really understand either.

 In the end, Josiah found the female employee who had helped take care of Aurora during the day and asked her a few questions.

 The female employee chuckled and said, “This child is quite lively. She must be feeling bored cooped up in the room. She probably wants to go out and y.”

 Lysander nced outside, noticing the sky gradually darkening

 Josiah noticed, too. “I’ll take her for a stroll in the garden downstairs, We won’t go far.”

 The female employee chimed in yfully, “Mr. Guerra, why don’t you go with your wife? I mean, you’re a man and surely isn’t attentive as the mother.”

 Lysander remained silent while Josiah rified, “She… is not my wife.”

 The female employee was taken aback. “But I’ve heard from the manager and other staff that she’s your wife. They’ve met her before.”

 Lysander said, “That used to be the case.”

 The female employee, in her forties and the most kind–hearted period of her life,ughed upon hearing that. “The child is still so young. Try to avoid conflicts in front of her. Despite her young age, children are highly perceptive of adults‘ emotions.”

 Josiah gave a slight nod. “Thank you. We get it.

 After the female employee left, Josiah asked, “Would you like toe with me? Do you prefer to dine in the restaurant or should we have the good delivered here?”

 Lysander shook her head. “There’s no need to trouble others constantly. I can’t really eat much anyway, and I’m also not veryfortable with you taking care of Aurora alone.”

 “We still need to eat,” said Josiah. “I’ll dine with you first, then we can take Aurora to the garden together.”

 Lysander rubbed her still throbbing forehead and said, “All right, I’ll find her a warm coat.”

 Among the items left behind by Nieva were several baby jackets.

 Lysander picked out a dress that best matched the color of the one Aurora was wearing. As soon as she slipped one sleeve onto Aurora, Josiah voluntarily lifted the child’s other arm.

 Aurora seemed to find it amusing and began to giggle.

 Josiah meticulously straightened the hem of Aurora’s outfit, intending to put her back into the stroller. However, upon seeing her pout, he quickly picked her up again.
