The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 518 Not Wanting To Break Promise

The expression on Tiffany’s face changed instantly.

However, Josiah had already left, carrying Lysander without even looking back.

Upon returning to her room, Lysander was still plagued by a severe headache.

The moment the room door swung open, she staggered to her feet, struggling to keep her balance. She pushed the bathroom door open and was immediately engulfed in another bout of violent retching.

Seeing her in such distress, Josiah immediately pulled out his phone and began to make a call.

Lysander turned on the faucet and rinsed herself off before asking him, “Who are you calling?”

911. 911.

“I don’t need an ambulance for something so minor. Let’s not waste medical resources.”

Josiah looked at her, remaining silent for several seconds.

He disagreed with what she said, but he had no choice but to follow her instructions.

Lysander walked out of the bathroom and headed to the living room, where she sat down on the couch to

rest.

Josiah pulled out a few sheets of paper and sat down next to her. He gently wiped the sweat from her forehead. “What exactly is going on? How did you suddenly become so unwell?”

Josiah said gently. “This doesn’t seem like a case of low blood sugar It’s too severe for that. Did you eat something that didn’t agree with you?”

Lysander replied irritably. “I had dinner from your hotel last night. Mr. Guerra, is the food hygiene at your hotel up to standard?”

“I’ll have the hotel’s food and beverage department conduct a self–inspection.”

Lysander waved her hand dismissively.

Based on her experience, she concluded that her illness probably wasn’t due to eating spoiled food.
