Chapter 445 Shot Himself In The Foot

Actually, even if the sliding glass door had been unlocked, with his state of mind at the time, he would have chosen to smash it anyway.

Lysander naturally continued to ask, “Is your hand okay?”

Josiah’s voice softened slightly. “It’s fine.”

His hands appeared broad and dependable, even though they were injured, they didn’t look frightening.

Lysander said seriously, “I’m really grateful for your help.”

The despair of that moment still lingered in her heart.

If Josiah hadn’t shown up, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Josiah didn’t use the excuse of not being able to sleep to brush off Lysander. He sat down on the sofa and told her the truth: “When you went out the past two days, didn’t you notice the mark next to your front door?”

“What kind of mark?”

“A circle with a check mark in the middle.”

Lysander shook her head.

“That’s a mark left by a thief checking out the place.

“What does that mark mean? My house doesn’t have anything valuable, and my daily items are pretty cheap.”

“Female, living alone,” Josiah explained. “When I saw it yesterday, I asked Harry to find out. Harry found out that places marked like this are usually targeted within three days. So tonight, I didn’t dare sleep, worried something might happen to you.

Lysander said nothing.

“Although your daily items aren’t high–end, a lone woman is physically weaker. Knowing they can’t overpower a grown man, their first reaction to a break–in is to pretend to be asleep and unaware, waiting for the thief to leave. This is actually the safest for the thief.”

Lysander felt vexed. She’d been so busy lately that she hadn’t noticed the mark outside her door.

“But this thief is probably a novice, Experienced thieves usually don’t lock the door after entering, leaving it slightly open for a quick escape. Whether he was overconfident or ignorant, he locked the door, and I couldn’t get in from outside, so I had to go through the window.”

“When the ambulance arrives, you should go to the hospital too. He’s seriously injured, but you must have some minor injuries too. Get them checked.”

Annoyed, Josiah replied, “I said I’m fine.”

The ambulance wouldn’t arrive for a while.

The atmosphere once again grew awkward.

Lysander thought of the earlier encounter at the private restaurant and took the initiative to ask, “If y move in, will Tiffany come with you?”

you

Josiah turned away, looking at her with a complicated expression. “So what? What are you trying to say?”

Lysander thought aloud. “Tiffany grew up pampered and probably hasn’t faced much danger. With all this commotion here, even you breaking the glass to come over, she must be really scared and worried about you.”

Josiah laughed in anger. “So what? Are you trying to persuade me to go back and comfort her?”

“You’re always thinking of others.” Josiah clenched his jaw, almost reopening the wound on his hand from the force. “Never for me.”

“Because you’re strong. Who would dare provoke you?” Lysander replied calmly. “Actually, just me waiting for the ambulance is enough. The thief has broken ribs. He can’t do anything.”

Her words were kind, covering all necessary considerations. She fixed her gaze on Josiah, subtly indicating that it was time for him to leave.

Josiah felt a chilling bitterness. He asked angrily, “Do you just want me to go back to Tiffany that badly?”

Lysander asked softly, “Didn’t you tell me you were serious about Tiffany this time? The wedding date is

even set

“When did I ever…” Josiah swallowed the rest of his words.

He didn’t agree outright, but he also didn’t object. He even brought up the topic of the wedding himself. It was as if he had shot himself in the foot.

Lysander remained calm. “You saved me today, and I owe you a huge favor. If you invite me to your wedding. I’ll definitely come. My income isn’t that high, so my gift won’t be as grand as those from your wealthy friends or business partners trying to curry favor with you.”

Josiah was about to explode again, this time out of sheer frustration, He abruptly stood up, seething with resentment as he bitterly said, “Fine, fine!”

Before she could say anything else, he stomped out, stepping on the thief without a pause. He slammed the door so hard it shook the entire room.

After Josiah Jeft, Lysander tightly held the lamp base, ready to strike again if the thief woke up.

Fortunately, Josiah’s blows were indeed heavy. The thief remained unconscious.

In the early hours, the sound of the ambulance echoed through the residential area.

Lysander opened the door for the paramedics, guiding them, “This person has broken ribs, and probably a concussion. You might want to contact the ER for a CT scan.

Seeing her disheveled home and injured wrist, the doctor guessed what had happened and quickly said, “You should come to the hospital with us. If you plan to report this to the police, your injuries will serve as evidence. It’s best to get an injury assessment.”

Lysander thought it over and agreed.

They were in a hurry. In order not to delay the medical staff’s time, Lysander wrapped herself in the coat Josiah left behind and took the ambulance to the hospital.

The emergency room was always the busiest at night. As soon as the thief arrived, he was whisked away for examination. Everyone else was also swamped with work.

Lysander told the accompanying nurse, “You don’t need to worry about me. I used to be a doctor and am familiar with the procedures and my condition. I can handle the rest myself.”

Recalling her behavior throughout, the nurse expressed in surprise, “Well, we’ll be going then.”

Lysander nodded.

The hospital corridors were crowded and noisy, but it gave her a sense of security. She found a place to sit and called the police.

After explaining the situation to the authorities, she saw a young woman in a white coat stop and stare at her for a moment before running over excitedly, “Dr. Thorne?”

Recognizing the familiar voice, Lysander looked up and smiled. “Lynn!”

Seeing the bruises and injuries, Lynn frowned and asked, “Dr. Thorne, what happened to you? Did you run into trouble? I almost didn’t recognize you.”

“Well, it’s a long story….

Soon, the police arrived at the hospital.

After getting a brief understanding of the situation from Lysander, they asked, “Ms. Thorne, have your injuries been treated? If they have, we need you to come to the station with us.”
