Chapter 493 Excited
The expression on Lysander’s face changed in an instant.
The events of the previous night were a bit of a blur to her.
She vaguely remembered how Josiah had driven her to the brink of insanity, causing her to push him away while crying out. When she found herself unable to push him any further, she resorted to biting him in desperation.
As for where she bit him, it was hard to tell. The room was pitch black at the time, and her mind was in such a haze that she couldn’t be sure.
However, she regretted it up until now.
She had assumed that after feeling pain, Josiah would let her go. To her surprise, he became even excited and unrestrained.
When Lysander heard the turmoil caused by this bite mark, she truly didn’t know what to say.
Before long, Josiah, who had stepped out to fetch some items from the hospital entrance, returned laden with several bags. The first thing he noticed upon entering the ward was the IV pole with an IV drip hanging from it. Only then did he turn his attention to Tiffany, who was seated by the bed.
Tiffany’s checks had a rosy blush as she said, “Jose, you’re back.”
Josiah glanced at her and asked, “Why is your face so red? You don’t have a fever, do you?”
“No, no. It’s just too hot in here.”
After asking that question, Josiah didn’t immediately expect an answer from her. Instead, he simply went about his business and set down the items he had been carrying.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
Lysander followed the sound and noticed that the IV tube had somehow backflowed with blood, its bright red color glaring.
Remembering the promise she made to Josiah when he left. Tiffany’s face turned pale with fear. “Oh my God, there’s so much blood…” she exclaimed.
As a surgeon who had operated before, Lysander had seen scenarios far more terrifying than this. Composing herself, she said, “It’s just a back flow, it’s fine. Don’t be scared.”
Josiah had already pressed the call bell. Raising his eyebrows in displeasure, he asked, “What do you mean by just a back flow?”
As they were talking, the nurse had already rushed over. Upon seeing the blood in the IV tube, she calmly flicked the tube to let the blood flow back before proceeding to remove the needle and replace it with a
new one.
“Why didn’t anyone turn it off after the IV drip was finished?”
Feeling a pang of guilt, Tiffany replied, “It’s all my fault. I completely lost track of time while chatting with

Josiah’s expression was somewhat bitter when he said, “You should go back. I’ll stay here by myself.”
Lysander gave him a pat. “Don’t be mad, Mr. Guerra. It’s just a back flow. Don’t scare Ms. Lanister.”
“And you.” Josiah turned to Lysander, clearly irritated. “What were you chatting so happily about? As a medical professional, how could you not notice the back flow?”
Lysander choked. “We… were talking about you.”
“What about me?”
Lynn quickly stood up, interrupting, “Lysa, take good care of yourself. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way.”
Lysander gave her a nod. “Thanks for the oatmeal today.”
Tiffany smiled, then quickly ran off.
Josiah showed absolutely no intention of chasing after her. He didn’t even move an inch.
Lysander asked Josiah. “Are you just going to let Tiffany go back alone?”
Josiah didn’t quite catch what she was implying. “I’m not her personal chauffeur.”
After saying that, he realized that he had been a bit too irritable just now.
He softened his voice and asked, “Does the back flow hurt?”
“No.”
After hearing her reply, Josiah felt a pang in his heart. He seemed like a different person compared to earlier, saying, “I wasn’t trying to be harsh with you earlier. I guess I was just upset because I care about
you.
Lysander could tell that he was tired judging from the way his brows were scrunched together, and she could probably guess why.
Two nights ago, he had spent the entire night fussing over her without sleeping. He probably also stayed up the whole night last night monitoring her temperature.
Even strongest person would eventually run out of energy.
Seeing that Lysander remained silent, Josiah helped her back onto the bed. He was particularly careful with her hand which had the needle in it. Then, he took out a hand warmer from his bag and placed it in her palm. “That day.. I was also provoked by the note Adrian wrote. I really didn’t plan to do anything”
At the thought of that note, Lysander frowned too.
If Adrian asks me about it after I return, what should I say? What a headache.
Lysander was too sick to argue with him. She leaned back on her hospital bed and sighed. “I never thought I’d fly all the way from Harborbrook to Apex City just to visit the hospital.”
Josiah responded, “How does it compare to the Central Hospital?”

Lysander glanced around the room and replied. “This ward is a bit outdated. It doesn’t have the modern amenities of Central Hospital, but this isn’t a main issue here. As long as it can treat patients, it’s a good hospital.”
Josiah said. “The weather here can’t compare to Harborbrook too. The air in Apex City is too dry.”
Instantly, a jolt sur
through Lysander’s heart.
“There should be a humidifier in the ward. Otherwise, it’s only a matter of time before one gets a fever.”
Lysander rubbed her nose, remaining silent.
Noticing her unnatural expression, Josiah asked, “What’s wrong?”
Lysander caught a glimpse of the bite mark on his neck.
She turned her back and said, “It’s nothing. I want to sleep now.”
Josiah helped her adjust the blanket gently as he said, “You should. I’m here watching over you. I won’t let anything bad happen again.”
Before long, the sound of her steady and prolonged breathing could be heard.
Josiah studied her for a moment, then lowered his gaze to observe the hand with the needle.
Perhaps it was due to the continuous IV drips, the veins on the back of her hand were already clearly visible. He gently placed his hand over hers while using his other hand to pull out his phone and check something.
On the first day of the summit, he had indeed made an appearance. However, if he didn’t show up afterward, despite many people somehow getting wind of the news and sending fruit baskets to the ward, it would be even harder to keep the news under wraps.
Still, there had to be an official statement.
Although Thorne Constructions and Energies had been transferred, Lysander was unable to fully take over immediately. Carol had already sent over the most recent documents from Thorne Constructions and Energies, and Josiah had no choice but to complete these additional tasks.
By the time he had meticulously attended to all these matters, it was already late at night.
In the profound silence, any sound would become more noticeable than ever before.
The phone that Lysander had placed by her pillow had barely made a buzz when it was swiftly picked up by Josiah, who was passing by. He glanced at the screen and saw that the incoming call was from Zachary.
He went straight to the stairwell with the phone.
Josiah was in a foul mood. After answering the call, he didn’t utter a word and merely held the phone silently against his ear. He was curious to see if Zachary would dare to speak nonsense to Lysander.
His response was met with a coff. Tsk.”
Zachary’s tone was as annoying as ever. He began with an air of confidence, saying, “It’s Mr. Guerra, isn’t

There was no need for Josiah to keep him hanging any longer. He asked in an icy tone, “It’s quite late now. Do you need something from Lysander?”
