The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 425 Too Slow To Grasp The Opportunity

Susan nodded. “Yes. After all, I’m not getting any younger. That previous fire, along with a few sudden. bouts of high blood pressure, were all quite dangerous. Josiah is worried about me, so he decided to live next door from now on to take care of me. This way, he can also enjoy the meals Eleanor prepares when he comes back from work in the evening.”

“That’s very good.”

Susan said with a laugh, “I’m just worried that living so close might disturb the two from having private

time.

While they were talking. Josiah had peeled a few more shrimps, which all ended up on the plate in front of Tiffany.

He pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands, casually remarking as he did so, “It’s fine. We can always go out on dates.”

Clatter!

Embarrassed, Lysanne picked up the fruit knife from the ground. “Sorry, I didn’t have a good grip… Ah!”

She had reached for the knife in a state of panic. In an instant, her finger was sliced open, fresh blood trickling from the tip. It dropped in rhythmic plops, staining the pristine floor beneath.

Howard was somewhat worried, getting up to check on her. “Are you okay?”

Lysanne shook her head, her voice a bit hoarse as she replied, “It’s nothing, just an accident. Really, I’m

fine.

Howard frowned. “This wound is quite large…

As the host, Susan also stepped forward. “How did you cut yourself so badly? Eleanor, please bring the first aid kit quickly.”

“I’ll go right away, Madam Susan.”

Lysanne repeatedly apologized, “It’s okay, I’m fine. Don’t bother yourselves. I’ll head to the hospital to get this sorted out. Dad, Susan, and… Josiah, I’ll be leaving first.”

Howard was somewhat uneasy. “No, your wound is quite severe. We need to stop the bleeding immediately.”

“Here it is, the first aid kit!” Eleanor brought over the first aid kit. “Oh my, there’s so much blood. I don’t think a band–aid will do the trick, will it?”

Howard turned his head to look at Lysander. “Um, Lysa, could you possibly…”

Daphne firmly held onto Lysander’s hand. “Mr. Thorne, Lysander is an obstetrician, so her expertise doesn’t align with this. Maybe it would be better to send Lysanne to the hospital. After all, it’s best to leave professional matters to the professionals.”

Daphne’s intentions were clear as day, so there was nothing more Howard could say.
