His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 1 Like Two Different People

“Lysander, Lysander…” In her ear was his slightly deep and hoarse voice, gentle and a hint of clinging. After getting married for three years, Lysander Thorne was still of the opinion that Josiah Guerra was an entirely different being when in bed. On ordinary days, Josiah was considerate and gentle, a true gentleman. But when it came to their intimate moments at night, Lysander always felt like she couldn’t keep up with his stamina. By the time it was all over, she was so sore that she couldn’t even lift her arms. And then, he grasped her arm again. Lysander couldn’t even open her eyes. She pleaded and acted coyly, “Don’t you think we should stop?

her shoulder blades, his fingers gently pressing on her sore spots. With his strong grip and great precision, a comforting sensation spread through her limbs, causing her to involuntarily let out a soft moan. “Feels good, doesn’t it?” His voice sounded in her ear, deep and hoarse, as gentle as ever. Lysander couldn’t help but blush. As an OBGYN, she actually knew more about this kind of thing than the average person. Unfortunately, she was only big on the theory side of things. When it came to handling the real thing, she considered herself a novice. Fortunately, Josiah was a gentleman, and they wouldn’t spend all their time clinging to each other like some other newlyweds, but they still treated each other with respect. In fact, Lysander was very open-minded. After all, they only met through a blind date and did not go through the process of dating before entering into marriage.

Lysander asked, “What’s wrong?” Josiah stood up. “I have something urgent to attend to. I need to go out for a bit.” “Is it something related to the company?” “Um… yeah.” His voice was weak but soon was filled with urgency. “I have to go now.” “Okay, drive—” Bam! The door slammed shut. “Drive safely,” she muttered the rest of her words. After getting married for three years, she had never seen him so anxious before. Maybe something serious happened at the company. She remembered seeing news about the recent equity mergers and acquisitions by the Guerra Group on the finance news channel a few days ago. She was a medical student and didn’t understand much about business matters, but if it was on the finance news channel, it was probably not a trivial matter. Lysander clasped her hands together and silently prayed. I hope everything goes well with Josiah and his company. But just as she was about to rest, her phone rang persistently. “Dr. Thorne, please come to the hospital immediately. There is a pregnant woman in critical condition!” After years of studying medicine, Lysander found such situations to be not uncommon. She hung up the phone and immediately changed clothes to head out. When she arrived at the hospital, her assistant, Lynn Vale, was already standing at the hospital entrance, eagerly waiting. Seeing Lysander, Lynn immediately approached her and handed her the white coat and gloves. “Dr. Thorne, I’ve been waiting for you!” Lysander was a professional when it came to work. As she quickly walked inside, she put on the white coat and

over to the chair, will you?” Lynn helped her sit on a chair, then went to get her a cup of hot water, looking at her with concern. “Dr. Thorne, you’re also pregnant. Technically, you shouldn’t be working so hard. But the patient’s condition was really tricky, and you were the only one in the hospital capable of saving her.” When Lysander heard her say the word “pregnant,” her hand trembled slightly. “How did you know?” Lynn smiled and blinked at her. “Getting pregnant is great news. Why did you hide it from
