His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 127 Taking Her Hand

This statement left Lysander silent for a while.

If truth be told, half of the reason she got married to Josiah was because of Elisa.

Elisa had a severe case of coronary heart disease.

Over three years ago, she had just started her internship at the hospital.

Like most medical students starting their hospital rotation, she was assigned to the emergency department in her first year. It was no different for her. That day, she had been on a grueling twenty–four–hour shift. Hoping for a bit of rest when the night was quieter, she had barely sat down for two minutes when Elisa was brought in by an ambulance.

There was only one cardiothoracic surgeon on duty that night, and handling an angioplasty alone was impossible. Even if other doctors could rush over, it would still take time.

Elisa’s condition was critical, and they couldn’t afford to wait.

She had to step up and perform the surgery, which lasted a full five hours. Thankfully, Elisa was saved.

When she stepped out of the operating room, she was so exhausted that her legs nearly gave out, almost causing her to lose her balance.

It was Josiah, waiting outside, who supported her. “Dr. Thorne, are you okay?”

At that moment, Lysander was already exhausted, but when she saw Josiah, she was surprised.
