His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 720 | Will Never Forgive You

Finished

He rambled on for quite a while, even bringing up the legal advisor. “You should meet with Mr. Peter Hudson

along with Olivia. He will help you sort everything out...“.

Suppressing her anxiety, Lysander interrupted, “Don’t talk about this now. | don’t know what's in your safe

deposit box, and | don’t know Mr. Peter Hudson. The fire is so intense, so someone is bound to call the police.

Once we are out, you can handle these matters yourself.”

Lysander gazed into the distance, feeling uncertain.

The commotion here should have attracted nearby people, but none of Josiah’s men had shown up. They were

probably unable to at the moment.

The bodyguards Tiffany brought were not numerous but highly skilled, making them difficult to take down

individually.

Josiah seemed to realize this too. He looked at Lysander as if trying to memorize her features and said hoarsely,

“I have an idea. The fire started from below. We can go to the roof to buy tand wait for

rescue.”

Lysander followed his gaze upward.

The overhanging caves were still sdistance away.

Josiah grabbed her hand and crouched down. “We can’t waste any more time. You go up first.”

He let Lysander step onto his shoulders and then lifted her up.

Knowing she couldn't lift Josiah, Lysander did not argue. Once she was up, she immediately clung to the edge of

the caves and stretched out her hand to him. “Quick! Giveyour hand, | will pull you up!”

Josiah did not reach out. Instead, he stood up and looked at her with a complex expression.

“Lysander Thorne,” he called her by her full nfor the first time, his voice catching slightly. “Keep climbing.

The higher you go, the safer you will be.”

Lysander froze, waving her hand in the air. She then realized that Josiah had known all along that he wouldn't be

able to get up.

The idea of pulling him up was just a ruse to get her to escape alone.

A buzzing sound filled Lysander’s head. She heard herself speak in a panicked voice, “I can reach your hand.

Don’t give up, let's try.”

Josiah shook his head gently, his hands hanging at his sides, never making a move to reach up. He only spoke

when he saw her tears start to fall. “My hands are injured, and it is too late. The fire is too intense. If you don’t

go, we will both die.”

Even in this dire moment, he did not want Lysander to feel guilty.

“I am sorry. | once promised | would never leave you, that | would die after you. Now it seems those words were

premature. | am sorry. Go now!”

Chapter 720 | Will Never Forgive You

The flames had already reached outdoors.

Finished

The platform at the top of the stairs where Josiah stood creaked under the heat, ready to collapse at any

moment, but he remained calm, having accepted his fate.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t forgive me, but don’t forget what | told you. | made a will a long tago. The

things | left are for you and my mom. If you can, please take care of her for the rest of her life. | am sorry,

Lysander.”

Lysander clung to the eaves, shaking her head and reaching out to him desperately, but her vision blurred as the

smoke she had inhaled began to take its toll.

At spoint, Josiah’s voice faded completely, replaced by the sound of sirens.

Lysander was awakened by Josiah’s voice.

She knew clearly that she was lying on the roof, but it felt like she’d been sleeping.

Josiah appeared. He was impeccably dressed, his suit crisp and hair neat, but his expression was unusually

gentle. He said to her, “Lysander, | am sorry.”

“Don’t say that. I've heard enough of it. You did nothing wrong this tas you saved me,” she replied.

Suddenly, Lysander felt her body and soul separating. Her body was heavy and immobile, while her soul seemed

to float.

She never expected such words to cfrom her mouth.

Josiah indeed stopped apologizing. Instead, he silently looked at her, as if he would never see her again if he

closed his eyes.

The surroundings blurred, leaving only the two of them.

“Okay, | won't say what you don’t like,” Josiah said, taking her hand. She did not shake him off this time.

Lysander’s fingertips trembled. “I am not blaming you. Say what you need to.”

The thought appeared out of nowhere in her mind, that people tend to speak kindly when they were on their

deathbeds.

Josiah’s voice grew distant. “I've said everything | needed to. | have no regrets. Take care of yourself. Maybe find

a good husband, someone unlikethis time. Goodbye.”

The farewell was so soft it was almost inaudible. But it was this word that woke Lysander from her dream.

The air smelled of disinfectant.

Everything was stark white.

The first thing she asked upon opening her eyes was, “Where's Josiah? Where is he?”

Laura and Susan, who had been keeping watch by her bed, immediately looked over.

Both surprised and overjoyed, Laura wiped her tears. “Lysa, you are finally awake...”

The atmosphere in the room was somber.

Realizing no one was answering her question, Lysander felt a chill run through her heart.

“Is Josiah...”

She couldn't finish the question.

Josiah was most likely dead.

Lysander felt numb, her vision blurring. “I want to see him.”

Eve

ting by the pond for the police to retrieve bodies hadn't felt this hopeless. This time, he had died

to save her.

Nothing can repay such a life-saving debt. He escaped death, but she was left to live with it.
