Chapter 227 A Growing Sense Of Unease
“That’s precisely why I’m scared to go through with a divorce! If I do, it would mean surrendering all of my father’s lifetime savings! I’d be the most unfilial daughter imaginable!” Priscilla revealed.
“But compared to the suffering you endure now, your father would surely prefer to make that exchange.” Lysander countered.

“Because I’m certain my father would agree, that’s why I’m afraid to leave. Lysander, I can’t let my pay for my naivety and foolishness; I owe him an apology! That’s why I’m here, to ask if you’d let ΠΕ die alongside my child, so Harry can’t use anything to extort my father…”
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Lysander said softly, “I’ll definitely help you, but the baby needs to be aborted. Are you willing?”
Priscilla shivered. Her hand tenderly stroked her enlarged belly, her expression pained. “Lately, my mother–in–law has been administering various folk remedies, things like baby gender–changing pills and boy–birthing clixirs, which are harmful. The baby in my womb has grown so much in just four months; I’m afraid it might already be malformed.”
Lysander eyed her stomach, biting her lip in hesitation.
Priscilla continued, “Lysander, you were right, I should have listened to you…”
“It’s still not too late,” Lysander reassured her, “You need to stay here for now. Ignore any calls from the and concentrate on your health. We can’t proceed with an abortion if you’re not strong enough.”
Tears welled up in Priscilla’s eyes. “Lysander, do you have a plan?”
“I do, but it will take some time. In the meantime, you need to get some rest and wait for my message.”
After ensuring Priscilla was comfortably settled in, Lysander headed to the supermarket adjacent to the hotel to pick up some essentials and food to take back to the room.
She sternly reminded Priscilla to stay indoors and avoid any contact with the Molseys before leaving the hotel.
As she was on her way, her phone rang; it was Zachary. “Lysander, I’m at the hospital entrance now, sorry for being late today, got caught up with some things.”
Lysander replied, “It’s okay, I had a few errands myself, I’m not at the hospital. I’ll just catch a taxi back later.”
“What happened to you?”
“Nothing major, just catching up with a friend’s daughter; we had a meal together.”
Zachary chuckled. “I see, where are you now? I’ll come and pick you up.”
“No need, it’s not far away.”
However, remembering a recent conversation between Zachary and Harry, where the two men looked to be enjoying the interaction, she quickly withdrew the location and instead sent one to another crossroads a bit further away

The readers' comments on the novel: The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah)
I cant get over the fact that the writer is trying to show as if the male lead has committed a grave sin. First he didnt know she was pregnant because she never told him. Second right from the start she never communicated anything. She was unbothered even during her marriage. I am not saying the male lead is great but atleast he seems like a human with emotions unlike her. And there is no context for why she is so emotionless....
The female lead is not charming but an unbothered b word, there is a very big difference. There is no point of extending this story at all because even if you write 1000+ chapters at 1001 the male lead would still be doing everything for her and she wouldnt bat an eye even if someone killed him. I mean honestly either the start should have been written better where we do understand that she was deeply affected because of her divorce or just STOPPPPP. Even for fiction it is annoying....
