Chapter 730 I Miss HAnd You 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 cover 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 hwith you." His last sentence was filled with tenderness.
The Thorne manor had once again bectheir 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 chome.
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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Thorne manor hadn't been so lively in a long time.
Watching from the side, Lysander immediately understood why Josiah wanted to chome. After dinner, she told him, "No wonder you want to cback. 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 streatment at has 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 hclothes, his appearance improved a lot. Facing her, he becmore 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 cvisit 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. Seeing this, Lysander recounted everything that had happened while he was away in meticulous detail.
"Madam Susan has been unable to sleep for over a week because she's worried about you. Now that you're back, remember to spend more twith her. Also, the schooling for Nilou and Rhizone has been sorted out. Agrora is almost one year old now. She can stand holding onto the crib's railing. In a little while, she'll probably start crawling. We need to be careful with her to prevent any bumps or bruises. I'm afraid Ms. Lionhart will miss such a crucial period of her growth. I've already recorded it." Lysander told him both joyful events and concerns. When she mentioned the last matter, she couldn't help but show her emotions. "I want to send the video directly to Ms. Lionhart, but her social media hasn't been updated for a long time." Nieva left her phone number, but before she left, she also said that she would be very busy and might not be able to answer calls promptly.
Josiah had just returned to Harborbrook and had experienced a near-death experience. He had becmuch more open-minded. "If it's not convenient to send, just leave it for now. When Nieva returns, we can give it to her in person." Recently, a series of events had occurred, from the fire to Dillon being taken away by the police. As a result, the divorce between Nieva and Eattracted much less attention. It could be considered a blessing in disguise.
That evening, Josiah had been handling things with ease until it was tto take a shower. He was stumped. He had been open and honest with Lysander countless times before, so asking her to help him bathe shouldn't have been too embarrassing. But for sreason, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
The timing seemed off, and it was only after her attitude softened that he had the request. He was worried that he might be seen as trying to push his luck.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Lysander finished washing and changed into her pajamas, preparing to put Aurora to bed before going to sleep, she noticed his conflicted expression as he sat there. Thinking he was worried about how to tie down, she promptly said, "I'll settle Aurora first and cback to help you lie down." Aurora slept soundly in Josiah's arms. She even smiled and puckered her lips in her sleep as she listened to their conversation.
Reluctantly handing the child over to Lysander, Josiah tried to wait for her to fall asleep before finding a solution, but she saw through his hesitation and said when she turned back, "The burn wounds on your body aren't healed yet, so you cannot shower for now." That sentence instantly quashed Josiah's intention to take a shower.
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 cup with an her can memptata 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 in for half alday, b 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 sthought, 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 cinto 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 Rdrying! shirt 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.
