The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23 I Want to Burn It 

Lysanne finally understood why Josiah had been acting so strangely today. 

She softened her voice as she said, “But you love me, don’t you? We are going to get married in the future. The existence of that child will only disturb our happy life. If you want a child, it’s simple, right? We will have children in the future, too. Moreover, the child in my belly will also be yours. 

“Don’t think too much. She’s only been pregnant for a month. That’s not really a child yet. It’s just a fertilized egg, a cell, or even just a pool of blood…” 

“Stop talking.” 

Josiah’s mind was filled with the image of the tissue paper soaked in blood. The deep crimson color pierced his heart. 

“When will you be back? I’ll wait for you to have dinner together,” Lysanne asked. 

“I want to be alone for a while. You go ahead and eat; don’t wait for me.” 

From the obstetrics and gynecology department to the medical waste disposal center, it was about 600 feet away. 

After being a doctor for so many years, Lysander’s speed had been honed. In the past, she could run back and forth in two minutes. However, it took her more than twenty minutes to walk there today, with Daphne supporting her all the way. 

The pain in her lower abdomen was intermittent, making her break out in a cold sweat when it flare up. She had to stop and take deep breaths. 

Daphne felt uncomfortable watching. She turned her face away and secretly wiped away tears. 

“Harper,” Lysander called out. 

Daphne immediately wiped away her tears and turned back as if nothing had happened. “What’s up?” 

“Do you have a lighter?” 

“I don’t smoke. Why will I carry a lighter with me? Why do you need a lighter?” 

“I want to burn it.” Lysander looked at the tissue in her hand. “Most medical waste is crushed and buried. I don’t want it to be buried with all those smelly things.” 

Daphne nodded heavily. “I’ll go borrow one.” 

“Who are you going to borrow from?” 

“I’ll just ask around. You rest here for a while.”

have one.” 

Daphne suddenly thought of Josiah Josiah should have one. I just saw him smoking.” 

Lysander remained silent. 

“Forget it. Just pretend I didn’t say anything. 

In the end. Daphne bought a lighter from the hospital’s convenience store. 

The two found a secluded spot and burned the tissue, along with the small clump of flesh inside, into ashes. 

A gust of wind scattered the ashes into the air, which eventually dissipated into nothingness, 

Daphne sniffed as she stared blankly at the ashes being blown away, leaving only a small black mark on the cement floor where the tissue had burned. 

She turned to look at Lysander. 

Lysander had no special expression. She looked blank. 

The hospital gown seemed to be too big, making her appear fragile, as if a gust of wind could blow her 

away. 

“Lysander, if you want to cry, just cry.” 

Lysander shook her head. “Harper, let’s go.” 

“Okay, I’ll help you back to the ward to lie down.” 

“We’re not going this way.” Lysander pointed another direction. “We can go back that way too.” 

“But won’t that be a longer way around? Your body…” Daphne stopped halfway. She understood. Lysander’s meaning. 

Josiah was still over there, and Lysander didn’t want to see him again. She would rather drag her weak body through a longer route and endure great pain just to have no more intersection with him. 

Daphne couldn’t help it. Tears welled up in her eyes. 

Lysander smiled and reached out to wipe the tears from her face. “I haven’t even cried. Why are you crying?”
