The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 586 Nothing You Must Do

Finished

Seeing him drenched in sweat, Lysander couldn’t tell for a moment if it was from the pain. She quickly checked his knee.

Josiah couldn’t bear watching any longer. He strode through the crowd of onlookers to stand before Joseph. Looking down at the extensive scrapes on his knees and arms, he said in a cold voice, “It’s just a minor injury. For a man, it’s nothing at all. Stand up and Tarr

on!”

The basketball hit the ground with a soft thud.

Lysander couldn’t stand listening anymore. “He’s in his senior year, preparing for the college entrance exam. If this affects it, who can bear the responsibility?”

Josiah threw Joseph a cold glance. “He’s a sports science student. Do you think he has suffered little bumps and bruises on the court?”

The people nearby exchanged glances, feeling that there was merit in his words.

“Ms. Thorne,” Joseph suddenly interjected, his face pale. “He’s right. I’m okay. I was just anxious to defend and lost my balance.”

Josiah panted slightly, his brows furrowed deeply. In a curt tone, he said, “If you’re fine, get up.”

“It’s better to go to the hospital for an X–ray. It’s best not to complicate things at such a crucial time as your senior year,” Lysander suggested.

Along with Joseph’s teammates, she helped him to his feet and instructed a student at the side. “Help him over there for a seat first.”

Then, she turned his gaze to Josiah seriously.

After taking a deep breath, she demanded with suppressed rage, “It was just a friendly match between high school students. Did you need to take it so seriously?”

Josiah lowered his voice and retorted, “This was a competition? Shouldn’t it be taken seriously?”

Lysander continued in dissatisfaction, “But you’re an adult and should have more restraint than him. He’s in his senior year, and an injury could jeopardize his college entrance exam. You, on the other hand, are the CEO of Guerra Group. An injury could also affect your work. The consequences would be severe for both of you, so why insist on petty rivalry?”

Josiah’s temples throbbed relentlessly, anguish washing over him. Yet, his face betrayed no sign of his inner turmoil. He merely said, “You’ve just met him. Yet, you’re already so concerned about him.”

Lysander heaved a sigh. “I’ve never played basketball, and I don’t understand the rules, but I could tell you two were obviously trying to outdo each other.”

After saying that, she turned and checked on Joseph again. “Can you walk?”

Leaning heavily on his teammate’s shoulder, Joseph replied with a pale face, “The bleeding seems to have stopped, but my right leg hurts with every step I take.”

As he spoke, he attempted to demonstrate it to Lysander. However, no sooner had he taken a step forward
