The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 645 Important Guests.

“All right, thank you. I’ll come over once I’m finished with my tasks here,” said Josiah. He never intended to stay at the health center indefinitely, causing trouble for Lysander. Unable to resist Blaine’s warm invitation, he could only accept.

Blaine then asked warmly, “Don’t hesitate to ask if you need any something. What tasks do you have left?”

Josiah, planning to stay a few more days, naturally had to be honest. “The medicine previously moved to the health center is all at the front. I haven’t had time to sort it out and place it in the pharmacy, I plan to organize it with Dr. Thorne.”

He knew Lysander all too well, aware that she would never be at case just leaving the medicine piled up as

It was.

Blaine took charge of the situation with a single, decisive gesture.

“There’s no need to fret over that. You don’t have to worry. I’ll just call back the folks who helped move the medicine earlier to distribute it. When they were unloading the medicine from the vehicle, didn’t Dr. Thome already clarify which ones were anti–inflammatory medicine and which ones were cold medicine? Plus, the nurses are available as well.”

Without waiting for Lysander and Josiah to speak again, Blaine had already turned around on his own to call someone over. Despite his advanced age, his steps were remarkably steady.

For the first time, Josiah encountered a situation that even he couldn’t dissuade in time. He couldn’t help but say. “The people here are truly warm–hearted. No wonder you don’t want to leave.”

Lysander saw his surprise and asked casually, “Did you see the cured meat hanging in the dorm and the table full of ingredients?”

“Yes,” Josiah nodded. “I thought it was a local custom here, so I didn’t ask.”

Lysander sighed lightly as she began to recount the events of the morning-

“All those are gifts from the villagers, given in gratitude for our help in delivering a baby for a woman in labor last night. It was a difficult labor. The people here might have never seen the world beyond their village, leading a secluded life, yet they’re genuinely kind–hearted. If they want to thank you, they’ll treat you with all they have. Living here, you’ll truly feel at ease. Life becomes so simple,” she said.
