The Heart Left Behind (Cole and Yvonne) novel Chapter 150

Yvonne was utterly baffled. She felt as if Jared's eyes were following her every move.

Looking around and seeing no one familiar, she let out a sigh of relief. But every movement she made was clearly observed by Jared.

"How could I lie to you? Something came up. Talk later." Yvonne hung up the phone and walked into the ward with a cheerful stride.

…

I studied the documents Murphy handed me with an increasingly dark expression. "Just as I thought," I muttered.

The culprit had some connection to the police officer who came today.

"They have to be part of a gang, but their specific operations remain unclear," Murphy reported. "I also heard that the man has been released. I've sent our men to track him down, but we haven't located him yet."

"Even if he did manage to get out, that doesn't guarantee his survival." It was obvious that the man was just a pawn, and he highly likely couldn't escape death.

"No need to search for him. Find his family," I ordered. If he was alive, he'd show up on his own. And if he was dead, his family would surely know something useful.

Murphy picked up the documents and turned to leave. Just as he opened the door, he saw Yvonne standing outside.

"What are you doing here?" My expression darkened instantly at the sight of the unwelcome visitor.

I wasn't even bothered to put on a facade. It was a good thing Jonas was out for a follow-up check-up with Lorraine and wouldn't see her.

"I made you some food so that you could recover," Yvonne explained.

Her sudden attentiveness caught me off guard, and I asked, "Do you need something from me?"

Yvonne froze briefly as she lifted the lid of the lunch box. Then, she cast me a puzzled expression. "Why would you say that?"

"I figured you'd only be here if there's something you need."

Yvonne could hear the sarcasm in my voice, and her expression turned unpleasant. Still, she forced a smile. "I was just worried about you."
