His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 721 He Really CTo Say Goodbye To Her Lysander looked extremely weak, her lips pale and cracked at the corners. Just sitting up in bed drained what little strength she had left.

Listening to Susan talk about Josiah's situation nearly made her black out right then and there.

Laura and Susan hurried over to support her, gently easing her back down.

"Don't worry, Josiah has luck on his side. Plus he has his grandma and dad looking out for him..." Susan choked up momentarily before continuing.

"Maybe it is just chaos everywhere, and he got transferred to another hospital. The fire this tburned a particularly large area, completely destroying the abandoned industrial zone. It almost reached the forest. It took a lot of effort for the fire brigade and the police to find you after they arrived." Seeing Lysander's vacant expression, as if temporarily unable to understand, Laura fought back tears and went to fetch the doctor.

Here at Central Hospital, most of the doctors in the department knew Lysander. The one treating her was no different. Seeing her awake, he breathed a sigh of relief before speaking, "Dr. Thorne, I am glad you are awake. Otherwise, I would have had to consider changing the treatment plan." Lysander managed a polite greeting and then asked, "When can I get discharged from the hospital?" The doctor was taken aback. "Even though you haven't suffered any burns, you've still inhaled a considerable amount of smoke. To be on the safe side, it would be best if you stayed in the hospital for observation for a few days. Unless there is something urgent, I would advise against leaving just yet." It was his first tencountering a patient so eager to be discharged from the ER department.

Lysander did not have the energy to explain further and simply said, "I have something very important to do." The doctor was unable to resist her insistence. Recognizing her as a colleague, the doctor agreed to her request after prescribing santibiotics.

Laura and Susan knew exactly why Lysander was so anxious and did not try to persuade her further. On the way back, they filled her in on what had happened while she was unconscious.

"Olivia took the children to the hospital first and then tried to contact the people who went with Josiah to the industrial zone to find you. But they couldn't reach anyone. By the tshe got there, the fire had already started, and they couldn't get inside. Fortunately, she called the police on the way. Those are all bodyguards from the Guerra Group and are considered quite skilled. No one expected them to get caught up like this. Now they are all blaming themselves, but there is nothing they can do. Don't worry too much about them." While worried about her son, Susan did not blanyone and instead comforted Lysander first. Lysander took a shallow breath. The smoke that filled the air stung her still healing nose and throat, causing pain even when she simply inhaled. Yet, all of this was nothing compared to the bitter taste of sorrow in her heart.

"How are the children now? And Olivia and the others who went to find me..." If she had been more vigilant, maybe none of this would have happened. Lysander couldn't help but blherself, but to prevent Susan and Laura from worrying, she clenched her teeth, not allowing a single tear to fall.

"The children are fine. They have already gone home, and Eleanor is taking care of them. You don't need to worry. Aurora got a little scared, crying no matter who held her, but fortunately, Nilou knew how to comfort her. She is fine now. Olivia is okay. She just inhaled a bit of smoke. As for the guards who went with her, they were all hospitalized yesterday afternoon. They are not seriously injured, but after being knocked out, they need to be observed. Ms. Collins has returned from the village and will take care of everything. Don't worry." Only now did Lysander realize she had been asleep for nearly a day. It had been over ten hours since the fire was extinguished.

If Josiah had simply been transferred to another hospital or separated from her in the chaos, there would have been snews. Unless he had already...

With a determined resolve, Lysander closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her gaze had regained its clarity.

"Mom, Madam Susan, you go hfirst. I need to go to the police station. I am the only one who knows exactly what happened inside the warehouse. If we want to save Josiah, I am the one who knows the situation best!" Laura remembered the police visiting the hospital yesterday. Seeing Lysander still unconscious, they mentioned they would contact her later. They had initially suggested she go hand rest, waiting for the police to cto them.

Upon seeing the determination in her daughter's eyes, she could only say, "You must take care of yourself, then." Lysander felt the weight on her shoulders and couldn't afford to stay idle. The last thing she needed right now was to be idle. Being busy would be better.

The police officer responsible for investigating the fire was just about to call the hospital again to inquire about the situation when she con her own. He immediately brought her to the interrogation room, handing her a glass of water along the way.

Lysander endured the pain in her throat when speaking, recounting the day's events in detail before finally taking a sip of water.

The officer replied sympathetically, "We already know the situation you described, but there were too many flammable materials in the warehouse. After the fire was under control, there was almost no evidence left at the scene. As for those thugs who escaped, it will take tto find them." "I understand. I have another question..." Lysander had prepared herself for the worst when she came. She just squeezed the paper cup in her hand until it deformed without even realizing it.

"Besides the ruins, did you find anything else? Like, surviving victims." Lysander found it incredibly difficult to say these words.

In just a few short months, was she going to lose another loved one so soon? Fortunately, the officer's words temporarily eased her mind.

"Ms. Thorne, you can rest assured. The industrial zone has long been abandoned, and there is usually no one there. As for the people who appeared there that day, they were all evacuated in advance, so no one died in the big fire."

This was barely good news. If no one had died, it meant Josiah was just g missing. But with such a big firem where could he have gone? Lysander En.

anxiously asked again, "Officer, do you have any news about Tiffany? I think Josiah might have been taken away by her." Apart from Tiffany's men, no one else could have done it.

The officer shook his head. "There's still no news for now, and the case of the Lanister family ly isn't underoun jurisdiction. The specific situation isn't clear yet, but the arson case is serious, and we will definitely investigate it thoroughly and not let any bad guys off the hook." At this point in the conversation, it was difficult for the office to divulge more.

Since leaving the scene of the fire, Tiffany has disappeared, and there was no evidence that she had ever at appeared in the warehouse. As for her father Dillon, although he was still in detention cooperating with the investigation, if the case did not have any progress, he would eventually have to be released. Lysander was at a loss and had to go back to wait for news.

The nightmare haunted Lysander for several days, but except for the initial one, Josiah never appeared in her dreams again, as if he had really cto bid her farewell.
