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 need me to 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 became more 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 time I came to, 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.
