His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 728 Are You Worried About Me Josiah attempted to stand, but his legs felt wobbly still. He had no choice but to brace himself against the table to move.

He let out a chuckle, suggesting, "Let's head back to the office first. There are too many prying eyes here. We can't guarantee that we won't be interrupted. I have something important to discuss with you."

Lysander managed to suppress the surge of emotions within her until she returned to Josiah's office. She then gently closed the door behind them.

She turned around to face him and questioned, "Where have you been all this while? Why did you disappear without a word? Do you have any idea how I..."

Josiah's lips curled into a smile. "How you..."

"Not me, but Madam Susan." Lysander bit her lip, striving to maintain a composed facade. "You have no idea how worried she was about you."

"And what about you?"

"I...."

"Were you worried about me?"

Lysander glanced at him, not offering a response. Instead, she asked, "Are you all right?"

"You were worried about me."

Lysander was rendered speechless.

Josiah watched her, his heart softening. Subconsciously, he reached out, intending to embrace her. But midway, he hesitated and withdrew his hand, careful not to make any contact.

His hands had accumulated numerous tiny scars, and his skin had considerably darkened. Furthermore, calluses had formed on the base of his fingers from constant friction.

Josiah gave her a once over. "You've lost weight again."

Lysander was already quite slender to begin with, and after enduring this period of hardship, she had lost even more weight. Her petite face was now dominated by a pair of large eyes, which stood out prominently.

Josiah was genuinely worried that she might be too thin for her own good. He couldn't help but ask again, "Are you alright? I intended to stay with you that day, but they returned, and the staircase collapsed from the fire..."
