The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 543 Threaten Me

From the corner of his eye, he noticed two individuals clad in black not too far off. They had become aware of the commotion over here. One of them began to make a call on his phone.

“Hahaha! They saw it, didn’t they? Is he calling Josiah? Why are you being so stubborn? The outcome will be the same, yet you insist on enduring unnecessary hardship-”

Thud!

A muffled thud of flesh and bone exploded beside Lysander’s car.

Just moments ago, Zachary, who had been clinging onto her tightly, was suddenly sent flying by a surge of force.

The hand that had been pressing against her throat finally loosened.

Lysander bent over, seized by a violent coughing fit. The urge to vomit was overwhelming, and she couldn’t suppress it any longer. She crouched on the ground, dry heaving, her eyes filled with unshed

tears.

Someone was patting her back to help her catch her breath, his voice hoarse with worry. “Are you all right?”

Lysander took several quick breaths. “Yes.”

Zachary hadn’t planned on actually choking her to death. He had held back a bit. However, she was already feeling queasy, and then, being somewhat deprived of oxygen, all her discomfort exploded all at once. She crouched on the ground for quite some time, unable to vomit anything, but she was so uncomfortable that she was drenched in cold sweat.

Josiah dared not touch her. “Hang in there. I’ll get someone to call the doctor.”

Lysander waved her hand dismissively. “No. If my parents see this, they’ll just worry more. They’re already concerned enough about Michelle.”

“Are you okay, then?”

“Zachary didn’t go all out on me. It’s just my old ailment acting up again, making me want to vomit. A little rest should help me recover.”

“In that case, I’ll accompany you.”

After being exposed to the cold wind outside for a while, Lysander began to feel much better.

She slowly rose to her feet, her gaze falling on Zachary as he struggled to get up.

In the throes of his fury, Josiah had no control over his strength. All she saw was Zachary lying motionless on the ground, a pool of blood and several teeth scattered near his head.
