Chapter 326 Lysander Is Rescued
Bang!
Violent tremors and immense noise suddenly exploded beside Lysanderâs cars.
âLysander!â someone shouted.
Lysander wondered who it was.
Another voice pleaded, âJosiah, come out quickly. The fire is too intense. Youâll end up dying if you stay thereâ¦
âScram!â replied Josiah.
Lysander felt light as if she had merged with the surrounding mist and dust while she was being effortlessly lifted up.
When she woke up, an intense chill enveloped her entire body.
She slowly opened her eyes, surrounded by a familiar environment. The ceiling and walls were pure white, and there was a faint scent of alcohol lingering in the air.
âLysander, youâre finally awake!â Daplme lunged forward, her eyes red from crying. âYou almost scared me to death!â
Lysander opened her mouth to speak, but all that came out was a breathy whisper.
Daphne instantly held her down. âThe doctor said youâve suffered severe burns to your respiratory tract, so you canât speak. Are you thirsty? Or perhaps hungry? Iâve prepared everything for you, lookâ¦â
One by one, Daphne showed her the items she held in her hands. âThis is lukewarm water. Iâve cooled. it down for you. Itâs neither hot nor cold, and itâs good for your throat. Thereâs sugar and salt, too. The doctor said you canât eat solid food for now, but you can drink some sugar-salt water to replenish your electrolytes. Iâll prepare it for you now.â
As she spoke, she simultaneously rushed toward the door and shouted with great excitement, âLysander is awake!â
Several people burst into the ward, instantly surrounding her bed.
Upon seeing Daphne, Lysander surprisingly found herself calming down.
She looked around, her gaze cold and indifferent at the faces surrounding her.
Howardâs heart ached, Lynn was fraught with anxiety, and Priscillaâs eyes were red from crying. âLysanderâ¦â
Lysander gave a slight nod, indicating that she had heard.
Priscillaâs tears were flowing even more fiercely. âThis is all my fault! You only got targeted by that scumbag, Harry, because you were trying to help me! Iâm so sorry. Lysanderâ¦

her well. She comforted, âho could have predicted.
Luckily, Daphne had been her friend for over twenty years and understoo âNo one can be on guard forever against those who continually do wrong. Harryâs madness and his gall to commit such heinous acts? Donât blame you self too much. The incident with Lysander happened at my house. Weâre investigating who took her to the backyard. My father is on it, and weâll have answers soon.â
Priscilla said, âLysander, my dad has already sent over the best pulmonology specialist to check your throat. Make sure you rest well.â
Lysander nodded.
Her gaze slowly shifted, settling on the last two individuals.

Josiah was the first to enter, standing at the bedside closest to her. His clothes had been singed by the fire, leaving him looking rather gloomy.
Lysanne stood beside him, looking somewhat disheveled but in a much better state than Josiah However, she seemed somewhat hesitant to meet Lysanderâs gaze. âDr. Thorne, itâs a relief that youâre awake. Josiah was almost driven mad by worry.â
Lysander looked at Lysanne, her gaze filled with mockery.
Lysanne, however, acted as if she hadnât noticed and continued to speak softly on behalf of Josiah. âJosiah risked his life to save you from the fire. You were burned, but he didnât fare much better. His throat was also injured, making it difficult for him to speak.â
Lysander cast a glance at Josiah.
Indeed, his right check had suffered a burn, a mix of red swelling interspersed with charcoal black. His suit and shirt sleeves were nearly burnt away, with his entire forearm covered in burns as well.
He opened his mouth, his voice raspy. âHow do you feel?â
Lysander remained silent.
Daphne immediately said, âShe canât answer you right now, you know. You should hurry up and tend to your wounds. Itâs not good to leave them untreated
Josiah didnât leave. He just stood by the bed, watching Lysander.
