The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 651 Full Of Life

“The door isn’t locked,” he called out glumly. He figured that Lysander wouldn’t return so quickly.

The door creaked open slowly.

Josiah had initially assumed that the visitor would be the village chief. However, when he looked up, he found himself face–to–face with a young man wearing glasses. The stranger was probably in his early twenties, exuding a scholarly, and didn’t seem to be a local villager.

But aren’t all the support staff at the health center supposed to be women? Why is there a man?

Josiah couldn’t help but furrow his brows, his hostile gaze critically sweeping over the other party. A natural aura of authority radiated from him.

The young man was taken aback upon seeing Josiah and asked uneasily, “Isn’t Dr. Thorne supposed to be here?”

With a straightforward concise manner, Josiah answered, “She has gone to work at the health center. And you are…?”

“I see,” said the young man, regretfully adjusting the glasses perched on the bridge of his nose. Then, with a hint of nervousness, he began to introduce himself.

“I came here to help teach, but I’m just an arts student, so I can’t handle physics problems and was wondering if Dr. Thorne might be able to help… It’s okay. I’ll go to the health center and ask her instead.”

The village was teeming with children, many of whom were of schooling age. However, there was only one school in the area, where children of different grades attended classes together. On this occasion, all the children who had questions that the visiting teacher couldn’t answer had followed the young man. There were both boys and girls.

Josiah glanced at the children standing outside the door, suddenly feeling awkward about continuing to sit by the bed. He took a moment to compose himself, then, supporting himself on the table, he moved to the door and said, “She’s busy with things at the health center. Let me take a look.”

The young man still had some doubts. “Um… are you also a science–major?”

Josiah nodded in agreement.
