The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 401
Chapter 401 Did It Hurt
Burn wounds aren’t quite the same as other sharp object wounds.
The area is large with numerous ruptures, making it more susceptible to infection than the average wound.
Josiah’s back was almost entirely a mess of raw wounds, with his upper arm and shoulder also showing varying degrees of lacerations. Some of the wounds had even spread to his collarbone area.
She gestured toward the couch. “Sit down.”
“Hmm?”
Lysander had already opened the first aid kit, searching for wound treatment supplies. “Sit down: otherwise, I can’t reach.”
Josiah obediently settled down on the couch. “Are you going to take care of my wound?”
Lysander looked up. “You think I can’t do it?”
“No, I’m just afraid the sight of the wound might frighten you.”
“I am a doctor. I’ve long been accustomed to seeing all kinds of wounds. Where is the ointment you had the service staff bring over last night?”
“I’ll grab it for you..”
Lysander gently guided him to sit back down. “Tell me where it is. I’ll go get it myself.”
“It’s on the nightstand in the bedroom.”
Lysander made a trip to his bedroom and sure enough, she found the ointment on his bedside table.
She glanced over a few types of medication, finding them to be fairly suitable for his condition.
“These are prescribed by the doctor?”
“Yeah.”
“How did you apply the ointment on your back by yourself?”
“I haven’t applied it yet, I was planning to do it today when Ms. Collins brought the doctor over.”
Lysander set the medicine aside and bent over to examine the wound on his back closely. “The area of the wound is too large. Anti–inflammatory medicine alone won’t do much good. It would be best to go to the hospital as soon as possible for an IV drip. Otherwise, if the infection doesn’t subside, it could lead to other complications.”
“Then,
I’ll tonight. After taking you to the hospital later, I need to make a trip to the office.”
Lysander uncapped the bottle of disinfectant and casually remarked, “Sure, as long as you don’t mind
Balance:
“I’m a man. It doesn’t matter to me whether or not I bear scars.”
“Suit yourself, then.” Lysander had prepared the cotton swab. “This disinfectant is rather harsh, and given the large area of your infection, a thorough disinfection is required. It’s going to hurt quite a bit, but I’ll try to be as quick as possible. Just bear with it.”

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....
