The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 522

The Charming Ex–Wife 

Chapter 522 Accompany You 

Every word from Lysander was like a small but incredibly sharp blade. 

The blades, soaked in saltwater and laced with poison, directly cut into his heart. 

Josiah would never dare to bring up that matter ordinarily. Every time he remembered her, aided by Daphne, standing frail and alone in the biting cold at the entrance of Central Hospital, clutching a bundle of bright red wrapped in tissues, he would feel as though a massive stone was pressing against his heart. 

He could barely catch his breath. 

In the past, every time he awoke from a nightmare, it was Lysander’s resolute and indifferent gaze greeted him. She would hand him that object, declaring it to be his birthday gift.

Nowadays, whenever he closed his eyes, all that echoed in his mind was the image of her standing alone in the cramped bathroom stall. On the one hand, she was determined to cut ties with the past, while on the other, she held onto a sliver of hope, constantly glancing at the bathroom door, anticipating it to burst 

open at any moment. 

She was very rational, but be that as it may, she was ultimately human, and humans were bound to have emotions. 

Obviously, she’d wonder what Josiah was doing during those four hours when she was torn between her rationality and emotion, questioning why he didn’t arrive sooner. 

Lysander was right in that she had given Josiah more than just one opportunity. 

Yet, time and again, she was met with disappointment that left her heart cold. Finally, in the confines of that cramped restroom, she swallowed a pill, and with it, her heart seemed to die, too. 

Lysander suddenly chuckled. “Do you know, Josiah, seeing you in such pain eases some of the agony own heart.” 

Josiah had been hanging his head low, and when he finally spoke, his voice was so hoarse it was almost inaudible. “I don’t know what to say right now. It seems like no words can make up for the pain you’ve endured in the past.” 

“That concept is, in itself, a false proposition. No matter how much you try to make up for it, the pain experienced in the past is undeniable. Every minute, every second of it was real and existed. It won’t simply disappear because you try to make up for it afterward.” 

“I understand.” 

Lysander slightly lowered her gaze, looking down at her own belly, gently touching it. “Honestly, I don’t even know what happened to me today. I’m a professional gynecologist, and I never used to make such. basic mistakes. It’s because the matter of the child is an unhealable wound for both of us, one that would last a lifetime. Therefore, I was hesitant to hold Ms. Lionhart’s child too much. Whenever she mumbled ‘Mommy, I felt truly awful. I feared that if I allowed myself to grow attached to her, my heart would be torn apart once more when the time came for her to be taken away by her own mother.”

Josiah’s eyes were severely red. He took off his glasses, folded them, and casually set them aside. He haphazardly wiped the moisture from his face with his hand, then took a deep breath. “Sorry, I was only thinking about how both families could assist Daphne. I completely forgot she was carrying a baby. I didn’t

Chapter 522 Accompany You. 

“Pain is pain, but I’ve learned to reconcile with it. Life is a constant process of letting go. Different people come into your life, accompany you for a while, and then part ways, a cycle that repeats over and over. Those who have left will never return. The path ahead, I must walk alone.” 

“I want to accompany you on this journey.” 

Lysander didn’t reply. 

“I realize I’m not worthy, and I know there’s no way I can ever make up for everything, but Lysander, I want to be with you for the rest of our lives. Whether we remarry or not doesn’t matter anymore. If you’re okay with it, that’s great. If not, that’s fine too. We can just keep things as they are. I’ll be there whenever you need me, and I’ll stay out of your sight when you don’t. Is that acceptable?” 

Lysander chuckled. “And what if I were to marry someone else?” 

“You won’t.” 

Lysander said coldly, “How do you know I won’t?” 

“You are innately proud. You don’t love me, and you won’t fall in love with anyone else. There’s no doubt you’ve tried before to find someone suitable‘ to share your life with, but you ran into the pitfall that is Zachary. As such, you’ll never step into marriage again. As for Adrian… From the first time you saw him, you never considered him as a potential partner, and you never will.” 

Lysander remained silent. 

Josiah said. “You told me before to leave things as they are. I wasn’t willing to accept it then. I wanted to marry you again and have children with you. However, now, I don’t ask for anything anymore. If you say it’s like this, then it’s like this. I’m fine with that. I’m not greedy, and I’m very content.” 

Lysander turned her head to look out the window. 

At the entrance of the hospital, there was never a shortage of pitiful souls. 

An elderly mother, her hair as white as snow, was pushing her handsome young son, who was paralyzed. An ordinary daughter was kneeling incessantly at the hospital entrance, pleading with the doctors to save their father, who was already covered with a white sheet. 

Everyone needed to find relief from pain, and Lysander was no different. 

Suddenly, Lysander said, “Next month, come with me to the Dawnbreak Church.” 

Josiah nodded. “All right. Is there anything I need to prepare?” 

“No need. Just lighting a candle for her will be enough.” 

“All right.” 

Silence filled the air for quite a while as both individuals needed time to soothe their emotions. 

After an indeterminate amount of time had passed, Josiah started the car. 

Lysander asked, “Where are we going?” 

Josiah took several deep breaths in succession. His voice still choked with emotion. “Central Hospital.”

Lysander chuckled. “Why would you go back? To compensate for the door you broke?” 

“Yes, that is a must.” Josiah started the car, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. “However, since it’s not pregnancy, I at least need to figure out what’s causing your vomiting. 

After all the aimless driving, the car eventually returned to Central Hospital..
