His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 739

Chapter 739 I Like Anything You Gift "I went to the restroom." Josiah made up an excuse.

He was expecting her to probe further, yet she didn't. Instead, she urged him to hurry into the examination room to change his medication. When he reemerged, drenched in cold sweat, she handed him a cup of warm water, saying, "It's not hot anymore, just right for drinking."

As Lynn was pouring the water, she was completely engrossed in the joy of reuniting with Lysander, so much so that she completely forgot to control the water temperature. However, by some stroke of luck, it turned out to be just right.

Josiah tasted the water, still warm, and let out a sigh of relief.

On the way back, Lysander was the one driving. Glancing at Josiah in the passenger seat, she suddenly felt a bit unsettled. Perhaps, she thought, she should show more concern for patients in recovery.

In a rare moment of initiative, Lysander started a conversation with him. "New Year's Day is next week," she said, "Do you have any plans?"

Josiah was somewhat surprised. "Do you have any plans?"

Seeing that he didn't respond, Lysander patiently explained, "You saved me this time and previously helped Daphne and Michelle. If I don't show my gratitude, it would be rather unappreciative of me. However, I'm not good at choosing gifts, so why don't you decide for yourself what you'd like?"

Without any hesitation, Josiah replied, "If it's from you, I'd love anything."

The significance of a gift was deeply tied to the giver. If it was from Lysander, even if she picked up a leaf from the side of the road for him, he would treasure it as if it were a precious gem, preserving it as a specimen.

Lysander was somewhat worried. "How about I treat you to a meal then?"

She had used this method of expressing gratitude far too many times, to the point where she felt slightly embarrassed to even present it.

Recalling the time when she had invited Adrian to her home for a meal, Josiah felt a pang of regret. After a moment of serious contemplation, he said, "You mentioned earlier that New Year's Day is next week. Why don't you join me for the countdown? The doctor said my leg should be back to normal by then."

Celebrating the New Year together had recently become a trend among young couples. Many believed that as long as they held each other's hand at the stroke
