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.”

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.

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.
