When he spoke those words, he didnât feel the slightest bit tired or strained. His gaze never wavered from Lysanderâs face, carrying with it an affection he himself hadnât even noticed.
When Lysander recalled the bumpy ride and the turns they had taken, she said in surprise. âThis is a mountainous area. We had to cross several mountains to get here, not to mention the other villages.
Howâ¦
Josiah gave a proud smile and said, âI could ask around, couldnât I? Dr. Ziegler informed me that the medical conditions in the areas requiring assistance were quite poor. So, whenever I arrived at a village, I would ask the villagers if there was a hospital around. They told me there was only a health center in this area, and thatâs how I found out you were here.â
He drove his SUV over mountains and across rugged terrain in his search. Simultaneously, he went from village to village, inquiring about the location of the local health center. Only then did he gradually manage to find Lysander.
Lysander was left speechless, taking a moment before she finally asked, âSo, how long have you been searching?â
Josiah did a quick calculation in his mind and said, âI set off after work three days ago.â
No wonder he had food prepared in the car. As it turned out, he had been living in it for three days.
Josiah was worried that Lysander might dislike him, so he took the initiative to explain. âI brought enough clothes to change into every day. When I passed a village with an available hostel yesterday, I even took a
bath.â
Lysander let out a sigh. âThatâs not what I meant. I just feel there was no real need for you to come here. Being a medical support here has its time limits, I wonât be staying here forever. After some time, Iâll
return on my own.
Josiah nodded. âI remember you always mentioned wanting to provide medical support in remote areas. I heard there was a shortage of medicine here, so I asked Lynn for a list of commonly used drugs and bought some from the pharmacy to bring along. Itâs not like I came specifically to see you but rather to contribute to our countryâs medical cause.â
âAre you sure thatâs all there is?â Lysander asked, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry. âThose medicines have practically filled our health center to the brim. However, I must say that itâs thoughtful of you to ask Lynn for a prescription. Many of these are prescriptionâonly drugs. You wouldnât be able to buy them without one.â
It had been a long time since Josiah had heard praise from her, so upon hearing it, he found himself genuinely smiling.
âI hopped from one store to another to buy these. If one ran out of supplies, Iâd just move on to the next. There were plenty of pharmacies along the way, after all. I hope these items can be of help to the people here.â
After Josiah finished speaking, Lysander calmly responded, âIn that case, allow me to thank you in advance on behalf of those who will benefit from these medicines in the future.â
âActually, both of us are contributing to society, so thereâs no need for all this courtesy.â

âYouâve changed a lot.â

In the past, Josiah would never have been so meticulous, let alone trek over mountains and valleys to spend three days in a carriage for her sake,
Josiah responded in a low voice, âActually, youâve changed a bit, too.â
way she
He felt a sense of tranquility from Lysander that he hadnât experienced before, especially in the treated him. Previously, it seemed as if she was ignoring him, but at that moment, her attitude toward him was more like that of a friend.
Lysander casually asked. âHave I?â
Josiah knew that her change was related to Maverickâs demise, but he didnât voice his speculations. He simply nodded.
However, Lysander seemed to have guessed his thoughts. Looking toward the courtyard outside the dorm. she said. âPerhaps itâs because life here truly brings peace to oneâs mind. I plan on staying here for a while longer. You still have a ton of matters to deal with at the company. Once weâre done talking, you should head back as soon as possible.
Without a second thought, Josiah said, âDonât rush to kick me out. It took me three days to find this place. At least let me rest a bit.â
Driving for such a long stretch was certainly tiring, and it was indeed dangerous to head back after only a brief rest.
Lysander paused for a moment and tried a different approach to persuade him, saying. âYouâre used to a life of luxury. Youâve never even seen an immersion heater. You wouldnât be able to handle life here. Taking a bath here is quite a hassle, and thereâs no restroom. If you need to use the toilet, youâll have to go to the pit toilet out back.â
She spoke with logic and facts, detailing all the potential inconveniences he might encounter from his decision to stay. She laid out all the possible difficulties he could face in daily life, hoping he would back
down.
After listening with a calm demeanor, Josiah let out a sigh and said, âIt couldnât be worse than the nearly three days I spent in the car. I couldnât even stretch my legs in the back seat. I had to sleep halfâsitting.â
It did indeed sound a bit miserable.
Nevertheless, Lysander cautioned, âThe hardships of living here are different from the troubles youâve encountered on the road.â
âItâs all right. Consider it as a chance given by fate for me to fully experience your life.â
Lysander remained silent.
âOrdinary couples go through the stages of meeting, knowing, and loving each other. But we skipped all that, jumping straight into an arranged marriage through a blind date. The outcome, I fear, might be tied to our lack of understanding about each otherâs lifestyles and aspirations. This time, I hope to make a change.
Josiah spoke with utmost seriousness, his expression indicating a firm resolve. It seemed he truly had no intention of changing his mind.

Lysander didnât bother persuading further, simply raising three fingers and saying. âThree days. I bet you wonât last more than three days here.â
Josiah, in high spirits, proposed, âIf I can stay for three days, could you promise not to drive me away?â
Lysander said, âWeâll discuss it when the time comes.â
In her mind, giving him three days was already a considerable favor. Originally, she had planned on giving him just one day.
The two were in the midst of a conversation when there was a knock on the dorm door.
Lysander thought the nurses had returned and hastily tried to explain the unexpected presence of Josiah. However, when she turned around and saw Blaine, she stood up and asked, âAre you here to see him?â
Josiah couldnât help but chuckle as he saw her eagerness to send him away. With a sense of amusement, he got up and followed her.
Observing the scene, Blaine thought they were a married couple, and it was a case of absence making the heart grow fonder. Seeing them deep in a joyful conversation, he cheerfully began to explain his purpose for being there.
âYes, but it isnât a big deal, really. The village doesnât have any hostels, and there are also no spare rooms in the health center. Hence, I went back and tidied up the vacant room where the kids would only stay during Christmas. Itâs quite clean and even has a double bed. Both of you can stay there together,â Blaine said.
He clearly regarded Lysander and Josiah as a real married couple, which was why he had invited them to live together.
Lysander politely declined, saying. âI appreciate your kindness, but I think Iâll pass. There are already not many doctors in the health center, and if someone were to fall ill in the middle of the night, it would be more convenient for me to rush over if I were staying in the dorm.â
This excuse was reasonable and thoughtful, taking into full account the needs of the villagers.
Blaine nodded repeatedly. âThatâs true. Dr. Thorne, youâve thought this through thoroughly.â
He looked at Josiah again, extending his invitation. âMr. Guerra, why donât you move in first? Thereâs only one room available here, and itâs just not suitable for a man. Besides, my place is quite near the health center, so you can come over anytime if you want to visit Dr. Thorne.â
