His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 446 Somewhat Inconvenient Lynn trusted Lysander's words and hurriedly said. "Dr. Thorne is the victim. You can't arrest her!" "Don't worry, we're just taking Ms. Thorne back to take a statement and file a case," the police reassured her.

Lysander signaled Lynn to stay calm and added. "Okay, thank you for your hard work." Seeing Lysander's exhausted and lightly dressed state, Lynn couldn't help but worry. She quickly offered, "Wait a moment. I'll go to the duty room and get a thick coat for Dr. Thorne. It's too cold outside." Lynn quickly ran back to the duty room and brought her own coat, As she draped the coat over Lysander, she whispered, "Dr. Thorne, do you needto exaggerate your injuries a bit? I have a few colleagues in the forensic department." Lysander couldn't help but laugh. "You should get back to your duties. The obstetrics and gynecology department can't be without staff." In the police interrogation room, Lysander detailed everything from hearing the strange noises in the living room. When she got to the part where the thief tried to assault her, she becmore concise.

"The scene was chaotic. I couldn't breathe as he covered my mouth, and I was scared. I just grabbed whatever I could and hit him. By the tI cto, he was unconscious on the floor, and the glass beside him was shattered. I was afraid he'd die, so I called an ambulance." As she spoke, Lysander subconsciously clutched the front of her coat.

The female officer sympathetically handed her a cup of hot water. "Ms. Thorne, there's no need to be afraid. You're safe here." "Thank you." Lysander took a sip from the cup, feeling the warmth spread through her. As she held the paper cup, her complexion improved significantly.

The officer taking her statement reviewed the details from start to finish, then called his colleagues at the hospital to check the situation. Finally, he said seriously, "Ms. Thorne, the suspect has been identified. He has a criminal record, though it's mostly shoplifting in malls. This is his first hinvasion, likely due to inexperience. He probably didn't expect you to fight back so fiercely and end up knocking him out." A criminal record? Good. It will make proving my case simpler.

The female officer noticed her distraught state and offered comforting words, "Don't worry, he'll be heavily sentenced this time. As a young woman living alone, it's not uncommon to attract unwanted attention. When you get home, make sure to change your locks and upgrade your security windows." "Yes," Lysander murmured. “I thought I was already very careful, and I heard the neighborhood was relatively safe. I didn't expect this." The officer added, "In the future, you might want to consider leaving a pair of old men's shoes at your door. Thieves tend to avoid places where they think a man might be living" Lysander smiled wryly inside but didn't show it. She simply said, "Okay, thank you." 1/3 Chapter 446 Somewhat Inconvenient hospital's report, the suspect is severely injured. He has an open skull wound, multiple rib fractures, and at broken jaw. Honestly, it's hard to believe you caused all this alone." Understanding the medical terms, Lysander hesitated before saying, "I didn't expect things to turn out this way when I was fighting back." "Is that really so?" Lysander insisted. "I remember hitting his head during the struggle." The officer's gaze turned sharp. "Even if the head injury was caused by you, what about the fractures? Ms. Thorne, have you had any martial arts training? Tackwondo, karate, or wrestling?" Lysander knew she couldn't lie her way out. Understanding that saying too much could be problematic, she maintained silence on that issue, simply saying, "What I'm telling you is true. You can compare the DNA once the forensic samples are ready." "We don't doubt you," the officer softened his tone, though suspicion lingered. "The suspect's injuries are severe. If you have no martial arts training, it's unlikely you alone could cause such damage." The female officer assured, “Don't worry, his life is not in immediate danger. Whether your actions were justified self-defense will be determined by the investigation." Lysander sighed internally. She gathered her courage and admitted, "There was someone else who saved me. He's a friend. He fought the thief to protect me. If he hadn't shown up in time, I might have been..." The disgusting memory of the thief's stench made her take several deep breaths to steady herself.

The police asked patiently, "Your friend should still be in the area, right? Can you call him to cand make a statement?" Lysander hesitated. "It's not convenient. He has a special status and can't easily cto the police station. I'll take full responsibility for the incident. I'm willing to cover the thief's medical and any related expenses.

The officer shook his head. "You're the victim. It's not your place to compensate the suspect. If anything. he should be compensating you." Lysander insisted, "I respect the police's decisions, but I don't want my friend's life disrupted because of this. Please understand." The female police officer was about to persuade her further when a colleague entered, saying, "The victim's friend is here. Should I let them in?" Everyone looked at Lysander.

Earlier, on the way to the police station, she had called Daphne.

"Yes, that's my friend. I contacted her to cpickup," Lysander said.

Soon, a figure appeared in the interrogation room, 1, but it wasn't Daphne as expected. It was Adrian, looking anxious and rushed. A Seeing Lysander, he immediately asked, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" 2/3 23:02 Mon, 3 Jun Chapter 446 Somewhat inconvenient

Since arriving at the police station, Lysander had tidied herself up a bit. Though she still looked tired, her torn nightgown was hidden under her coat, making her appear less disheveled. She reassured him, "I'm fine." Adrian breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good." "Dr. Guerra, why are you here?"

He wiped the cold sweat from his brow, explaining somewhat incoherently. "Daphne called me. She said you were in danger and at the police station. She wanted to cherself but got caught up with something at home, so she askedto cfirst. She'll be here soon." Send Gifts 398 X
