His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 464 What I Seek Is Your Sincerity

This was far more serious than consuming raw food,

Josiah sat up, slowly buttoning his vest. His voice had softened somewhat. “Mmm–hmm.”

Lysander sighed. “People with stomach issues should really avoid alcohol, The pain you’re feeling is highly likely from your stomach acting up.” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Bewildered, Tiffany asked, “Lysander, can you treat him?”

Lysander said, “He’ll need to see an expert for this. It’s best to consult a specialist in internal medicine.”

Tiffany blinked in surprise, asking curiously, “Lysander, how did you know that Josiah has a chronic stomach condition? Did you just diagnose it? That’s quite impressive.”

Admiration filled her gaze.

To prevent any misunderstanding, Lysander quickly waved her hands and clarified, “You’re overthinking it. I… I’ve heard about it from the elders before. My father and Madam Susan are old acquaintances.”

Tiffany believed it and said, “I see. Lysander, you’re really meticulous.”

Luckily, the one they encountered was Tiffany.

Lysander subtly let out a sigh of relief, turning to the uncooperative Josiah. She advised, “Mr. Guerra, I suggest you go to the hospital as soon as possible for a gastroscopy. After that, we can discuss the appropriate treatment based on the advice of the specialist.

Josiah’s complexion appeared even paler than before. Maintaining his composure, he said, “Forget it. I don’t have time. I have another appointment this afternoon.”

Lysander studied him for a moment before finally saying. “This is your own body. If you don’t take care of it, no one else can help you. The decision is yours.”

Tiffany couldn’t help but worry. “Josiah, you almost passed out from the pain before. What if your stomach hurts again later?”

Josiah brushed it off. “I have gastric medicine at home. I’ll just take some.”

Tiffany was concerned about his health and continued to persuade him, “It’s still early. Let me you to the hospital. We can head to the office afterward. It won’t interfere with your work.”

Josiah’s tone grew solemn. “I told you. It’s not necessary.”

Tiffany was timid, too shy to muster up the courage to persuade him any further.

Lysander turned to the flustered Tiffany and added, “Ms. Lanister, if you’re still feeling uneasy, keep an eye on him for a while longer. If his stomach pain worsens, don’t hesitate to call an ambulance.”

Despite her concern, Tiffany had no valid reason to keep them any longer. She nodded, saying, “Alright, thank you.”

“You’re welcome, Lysander said, turning toward Adrian. “Let’s head back first”

Adrian had wanted to leave for a while now, and without a word, he promptly followed her.

The two of them quickly arrived at the door, just one step away from stepping out.

“Wait a moment.”

Unexpectedly, Josiah rose from the couch, steadying himself with the help of the coffee table next to him. “Didn’t you tell me before that your relationship with Dr. Sutton is nothing more than friendship? How come you’re now able to share a candlelit dinner?”

Tiffany was utterly baffled, unable to fathom how Lysander’s affairs with her boyfriend had anything to do with Josiah.

“Josiah, isn’t Dr. Sutton Lysander’s boyfriend?”

“Since when?”

“Ah, isn’t that so? I’ve always thought…”

Upon hearing Josiah making such remarks in front of Tiffany. Lysander immediately halted, retorting without turning her head, “This is my business. Since when has it become any of yours, Mr. Guerra?”

In contrast to her, Adrian did turn his head to ask, “I’m rather curious. How did you know we were having a candlelit dinner, Mr. Guerra?”

With a snigger, Josiah said, “That’s a question you should ask Dr. Thorne.”

Adrian was filled with confusion.

When Lysander explained it to him, her tone was considerably softer. “When you were out shopping, Mr. Guerra and Ms. Lanister happened to leave together and bumped into me. That’s probably when they saw the table you had set.”

Adrian seemed thoughtful. “I see. It seems that you and Ms. Lanister have a pretty good relationship, Mr. Guerra. As soon as you finish work, Ms. Lanister comes over to keep you company.”

Josiah coldly said, “Dr. Sutton, I am currently speaking with Dr. Thorne.”

Adrian chuckled lightly, gesturing for him to go ahead.

Josiah’s lips were twitching, as if he had a lot left unsaid, yet he ultimately remained silent, simply staring at Lysander in‘ silence.

In that moment, Adrian found himself caught in the middle, left with no choice but to halt in his tracks.

Tiffany stood by the couch, utterly bewildered by the turn of events. She held her breath and dared not to speak rashly, her gaze filled with concern as she watched Josiah.

After a long while, Josiah finally spoke, his voice tinged with resentment. “Lysander, weren’t you trying to get me to agree to let Zachary continue working at Guerra Group? What, you can’t keep up the act just because I haven’t done so yet? Is your patience really that thin?”

Lysander hadn’t expected him to bring this up out of the blue. With a hint of indifference in her voice, she said, “I’ve sought you out many times, pleaded with you on numerous occasions. If you’re unwilling to hel, there’s nothing more I can do.”

“So, you’re just giving up? You wouldn’t care if Zachary continues to pester your family?”

“If you’re unwilling to help. I’ll just have to find another way.”

“What way? Seek out Adrian and hand him a hotel room card, just like you always do?”

Lysander’s expression changed instantly. “Josiah, what exactly are you trying to say?”

“I already told you that day at the billiard lounge that what I wanted isn’t….

Considering that Tiffany was still present, there were certain things that couldn’t be said too explicitly. Hence, Josiah promptly changed his tack.

He rephrased, saying, “What I want is your sincerity.”

Lysander smirked in response, too weary to engage in further conversation with him.

Josiah interpreted her silence as a tacit agreement and brought up the issue that had been troubling him for the past day. Today is the final day to make the payment at the sales office. You know very well your parents can’t afford this amount. Are you still not planning to ask me for help?”

Nearly two–thirds of the day had already passed.

This time, Adrian interjected in a calm manner, “Mr. Guerra, you don’t need to worry about this.”

Josiah gave him a cold glance, “This is between her and me. It’s none of your business.”

Unfazed, Adrian stared back at him and said, “I transferred the money to Lysander last night. The matter has been satisfactorily resolved, so I guess you could say it’s part of my business.”

Upon learning that Lysander had actually borrowed money from Adrian, Josiah incredulously asked her, “Did you really ask him for a loan?”

“I’ll repay it as soon as possible.”

“That’s not what I meant!”

Lysander took a deep breath, “Last night, I tried to call you. I actually wanted to ask if you could… But you didn’t answer, and there was an unexpected situation at home that couldn’t be delayed. I had a conversation with Dr. Sutton, he was willing to help when I was in need, for which I was extremely grateful.”

Josiah had been holding back his anger, but the fury building up within him was becoming unbearable. He felt as if he was about to explode. His lips were pressed, and after letting out a cold snort, he said in a hoarse voice, “No wonder you decided to cook today. It was all to thank him for the loan.”
