hapter 272 Tell Me
I did not react immediately. After a moment of hesitation, I realized that my hands and
feet were a bit swollen. It was not too serious, but upon closer inspection, it was still rather
noticeable.
Was this man always so observant?
He could even notice minor things like the fact that I had been hungry and cold.
Looking at him, I smiled and said, “You have a keen eye, but it’s just a minor thing, and it’s
already solved.”
I really had no intention of telling him about this, or anyone else for that matter.
After saying that, I prepared to tidy up and leave the hospital. However, Idris seemed
determined to get to the bottom of it and pressed me down on the bed, demanding, “Tell
me, who did this to you?”
Seeing his serious and stern expression, I hesitated and said, “It’s no one…”
“Tell me!”
His voice was so terrifyingly low that I was frozen, and I looked at him, slightly scared.
Seeing my reaction, he seemed a bit guilty. He lowered his head and softened his tone
after dispelling the anger on his face for a moment. Then, he said, “When did you become
so fond of keeping things to yourself? The old Yvette never wanted to suffer in silence.”
Uh, was this an assessment?

I was speechless and paused before saying, “Officer Jackson has been taking good care of
me…”
Knock, knock!
There was a knock on the door.
Idris frowned but still asked, “What’s the matter?”
Ensio entered the room, and he looked a bit pale. After glancing at me, he hesitated and
said, Mr. Young, something has happened.”
Idris did not look at him, his dark eyes fixed on my swollen fingers. He asked in a low
voice, ” Just say it. What happened?”
Ensio hesitated briefly, then said, “Something happened at Officer Jackson’s place.”
Something happened?
Idris and I looked at him at the same time, and Idris lowered his gaze slightly. “What
happened?”
Ensio paused and said, “Officer Jackson’s house caught on fire half an hour ago. His wife
was in a hurry to escape and jumped from the building.”
Officer Jackson’s wife was Renata, right?
How did…

I was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
Idris furrowed his brows slightly and asked, “How is she?”
Ensio replied, “The building wasn’t too high. When the rescue team arrived, she was still
alive. She was rushed to the hospital and is now in the emergency room.”
Idris nodded and said, “I see.”
After Ensio finished speaking, he left.
I remained silent and had a strange feeling in my heart. Renata was a police officer, right?
Why would she have chosen to escape by jumping from the building when there was a
fire?
Idris saw that I was not speaking and asked, “What are you thinking?”
I shook my head and looked at him, saying, “It’s late. You should go back. I’m fine.”
The news of our divorce had already been announced, and there was no need to pretend
to be a couple anymore. He really had no reason to stay here.
He did not budge, only saying, “I will investigate what happened at the police station.”
I was taken aback, not expecting him to hold on to this matter. I could not help but say,
“No…”
“You don’t need to investigate, Mr. Young.”
Suddenly, a pleasant voice came from outside. It was Charlie. His face was heavily
bandaged, and I was not sure if his leg was injured too. Inch was pushing him into the
room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon hearing his voice, both Idris and I turned our attention to him.
Charlie completely ignored Idris and looked at me with a gentle expression, asking, “Are
you feeling better now? Does it still hurt?”
I shook my head, looking at him. I could not help but glance a few more times at his
bandaged face, which looked somewhat comical. It was a far cry from his usual
appearance.
Noticing my gaze, he did not mind and allowed me to look. Then, he turned to Inch and
said, Give me the medicine.”
Inch nodded and took out a green bottle of medicine from his bag, handing it to him.
Charlie took the medicine and looked back at me, saying, “A girl’s hands and feet are
delicate. I specifically asked the doctor for this medicine. He said it’s the most effective for
frostbite. You should apply it morning and night, and the redness and swelling will
dissipate in a couple of days. I’ll help you apply it.”
As he said this, without waiting for my reaction, he opened the bottle and was about to
apply the medicine to me. I quickly moved away, afraid of embarrassing him, and took the
bottle from his hand, saying, “I can do it myself. Thank you.
He did not mind and just looked at me with some concern.
With several people staring at me like this, I felt particularly uncomfortable for a moment.
However, I did not know who to ask to leave, so I chose to remain silent, lowered my head,
and focused on applying the medicine.
Idris, on the other hand, suddenly turned to Charlie and asked in a cold tone, “How did you
know that her hands and feet were frostbitten?”
