The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 476 Pure Rebelliousness

“She’s asleep,” Josiah replied lightly. “Focus on taking care of yourself first. Stop worrying about others all the time.”

At that point. Lysander had no energy left to worry about others.

“By the way, I want to tell you I went for a gastroscopy. They found two ulcer lesions, but the doctor said they’re not serious. I’ve already started treatment.”

Lysander gave a soft hum of acknowledgment, then snuggled deeper into the blanket.

Josiah asked, “Are you cold?”

“I’m not sure what’s going on. I was feeling quite warm just a moment ago, but now I suddenly feel cold.”

Josiah stood up, meticulously tucking her in with the blanket.

His hands were braced on either side of her as he hovered just above her. “And now?”

“That’s enough” Lysander realized that they were a bit too close for comfort and gently pushed him away. “You should get up now.”

Before she could even finish her sentence, she was abruptly cut off.

Josiah pinned her arm down through the blanket. “Don’t move. You’re cold, aren’t you? The cool air is seeping in.”

Lysander felt as though she were a mummy, tightly swaddled in the blanket, unable to move.

This sense of constraint made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

“Get up,” she said.

“Stop moving.”

“Fine, I won’t move.”

After thoroughly studying her eyes for a moment, Josiah confirmed her willingness to comply before he finally eased up on his control over her.

The next moment, Lysander was about to roll away with the blanket to escape from his control.

However, Josiah moved even faster. With a swift reach of his long arm, he pulled her back, blanket and all. He then half–covered her with his body, pressing down on her heavily. With a hint of annoyance, he asked, “Why are you running away? If you keep messing around, you’ll catch a chill again.”

Lysander attempted to struggle, but it only resulted in her being restrained even more forcefully.

She gritted her teeth. “You’re suffocating me!”

Josiah was also annoyed. “If I don’t hold you down, you’ll just keep fidgeting. Are you a worm or something? Stop squirming… just stop!”
