Facade of Love (Yvette Scott and Idris Young) novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271 His Concern 

1/2 

Chapter 271 His Concern 

I had not suffered any serious injuries. I had to thank Idris for not going too far, or else I might have been seriously hurt

The doctor examined me and found nothing serious, but he said they needed to keep me under observation in the hospital. After all, a bone injury required more care, especially for a woman. It was more expensive to treat and needed to be treated carefully

I did not have any objections and agreed

Lying in the hospital bed, I felt exhausted after going hungry and cold for several days at the police station. Then, just as I had come out, I was injured by my exhusband. I was truly physically and mentally exhausted

Additionally, the doctor had given me some painkillers, and before long, I fell asleep on the hospital bed

Perhaps the hospital bed was much more comfortable than the one in the police station, but I slept deeply this time and did not even dream much

When I woke up, it was already nighttime. The pain in my waist was gone, and my brain, which had been a little groggy, had cleared up quite a bit. The ward was dimly lit, and a figure was sitting not far from me

I thought it was Uncle Marcus, so I gently shifted my body and said to the figure, Uncle Marcus?” 

He did not respond to me. Instead, he got up and walked toward me. The dim light and the fact that I was lying down made Uncle Marcusfigure seem unusually tall

I did not pay much attention to it and pinched my brow as I said, Uncle Marcus, I’m a bit hungry. Is there any food?” 

He did not reply but left the ward. Seeing this, I did not think much about it. I closed my eyes and rested for a while. Maybe it was because I had been at the police station for so long these past few days, but after getting enough sleep, I felt like getting up to get some fresh air

However, this was still a hospital. When I moved and sat up by the window, I realized that my waist had not fully recovered, but it did not affect my movement. Standing by the window and looking at the city lights outside, I could not help but take a deep breath

The door to the ward opened, and I turned around, but the lights were suddenly turned on. After being in the dark for a long time, the sudden brightness was blinding. I squinted at the door and only saw a man in a black suit. I did not pay much attention because I was hungry, and I instinctively noticed the takeout box he was carrying

Without overthinking, I took the takeout box and walked to the side, saying, Uncle Marcus, you got back so quickly. I thought it would take a while. That police station is really not a nice place. I was so hungry and cold there” 

Were they harsh to you?Suddenly, a cold, deep male voice came from behind. I had just 

taken a bite of the hot food, and before I could swallow, I was startled by the voice and choked

Cough, cough, cough!I began to cough violently, and the person behind me hurriedly 

handed me some water

I took it, took a sip, and cleared my throat

Wiping away the tears from coughing, I looked at the handsome face before me and cleared my throat before saying, What are you doing here?I had been too focused on eating earlier and had not realized that it was Idris and not Uncle Marcus who had entered

Idris did not answer my question but instead walked behind me. Seeing that I was feeling better, he finally spoke. What did the people at the police station do to you?” 

I shook my head and said, Nothing, I was just spouting nonsense. Why are you here? Where’s Uncle Marcus?That was the question I was really concerned about

Hearing me ask, he furrowed his brows slightly and said, Uncle Marcus had some family matters to attend to, so I asked him to go back.” 

I see

I responded, Thank you for taking care of me. I’m fine now. You can go back.”
