His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 653

Chapter 653 Merely Answering The Call

From the moment Josiah appeared in the clinic, his gaze never left Lysander.

The young nurses had all taken notice.

“I came to see Dr. Thorne for treatment,” he said with a charming smile. He then addressed Lysander, “I was exposed to a bit of cold wind, and it seems my cold has worsened.”

The young nurses couldn’t tell he was sick but still joined their companion in their playful banter. “Well, you’ll have to seek out Dr. Thorne then. When it comes to medical matters, we nurses aren’t exactly experts, you know.”

As they spoke, the group surged forward, pushing Lysander right into the center. They all assumed that she was just too shy to step forward.

Lysander was nudged and stumbled several steps forward, nearly falling into Josiah’s arms.

Thankfully, she had been a doctor for a long time and carried an aura of authority that commanded respect. The young nurses didn’t dare to cross the line too much, and as soon as they sensed they had, they quickly let go and scrambled away, pushing and shoving each other in their haste.

Lysander steadied herself, let out a sigh, and asked Josiah, “Have you taken your medicine?”

Josiah sat casually on the chair prepared for the patient being examined, responding earnestly, “I’ve taken both the gastric and cold medicine, and I’ve also had warm water, but I still don’t feel well.”

Before leaving in the morning. Lysander had checked his temperature. Although he looked pale now, the abnormal flush from the fever had mostly faded. She asked, “Where exactly do you feel unwell? If it’s your stomach, you should go back and lie down as soon as possible.”

“It’s not just my stomach. I woke up with a splitting headache and my throat was as dry as if I’d swallowed a burning coal,” Josiah answered truthfully. After he finished helping the children with their homework, his symptoms had even worsened.

Lysander picked up on the hoarseness in his voice. She took out a flashlight and said, “Open your mouth.”

Josiah did as instructed.

Lysander studied his throat carefully and advised, “Your tonsils seem to be inflamed. In such a situation, it’s best to drink plenty of water and talk less. Do you want to get an IV drip? It might help you recover faster.”

Josiah was particularly engrossed, perfectly embodying the role of a patient seeking medical help.
