The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 657 Cannot Bear To See Children Suffer

Lysander gazed at the little girl, whose spirited demeanor was evident, and responded with a warm smile, “All right, we’ll meet as planned.”

After sealing her agreement with Josiah and Lysander, the little girl bounded joyfully down the village path, her footsteps echoing her cheerful mood as she made her way home.

Watching her diminishing figure, Lysander couldn’t help but reflect aloud, “Dr. Vazquez is on duty tomorrow, and I had planned to assist him. Little did I expect something else to come up so soon.”

Josiah, understanding her implied commitment to their plans for the next day, offered a subtle smile, keeping his emotions in check.

As the evening chill settled in, Josiah took it upon himself to walk Lysander home, maintaining a steady flow of conversation during the journey.

“That little girl we encountered earlier really has a knack for business. Even at such a young age, she’s already showing signs of cleverness and sweetness in her dealings. If given the right opportunities, she could certainly achieve great things. It’s just unfortunate that she’s growing up in such a secluded area, deprived of the educational opportunities that could further her potential.”

A child earning such commendation from Josiah for her entrepreneurial skills was undoubtedly. remarkable. Thinking about her potential juxtaposed with her living conditions led him to sigh deeply.

Lysander, puzzled by his familiarity, questioned, “You’ve barely been here two days, yet you speak as if you’re well–acquainted with the local educational scene?”

Josiah explained, “While I was resting in the dorm this morning, a university student who came to the village to teach were looking for you. They needed help with high school physics problems. With nothing else on my hands, I ended up giving them a bit of tutoring. It was during that time I learned about the dire state of the local school, where the lack of adequate facilities and teachers is quite apparent.”

Recalling the eager, inquisitive eyes of the children, Josiah felt a poignant tug at his heart. Without witnessing it firsthand, he might never have believed such places still existed.

“Indeed, not only are medical resources scarce here, but the educational situation is also quite dire,” Lysander noted with a sense of resignation.

She continued, “Actually, the situation has improved since I first arrived. The university student who started the teaching program came a little after me. Initially, he brought along a few classmates, but in less than a week, he was left to manage on his own. It’s unfortunate, but there’s been no one to teach the sciences regularly.”
