Facade of Love (Yvette Scott and Idris Young)
Chapter 273

Chapter 273 Two Men Who Could Not Be Driven Away

When I heard his question, I belatedly realized that I had not told anyone about this.

Moreover, since I left the police station until now, I had been in the hospital except for the brief encounter at the police station entrance. I had not said or done anything. How did Charlie suddenly find out about my frostbite?

I looked up at Charlie, feeling puzzled.

Seeing my gaze, Charlie gave a faint smile and said, "I saw your swollen hands at the police station entrance, so I had someone inquire. I'm sorry I couldn't rescue you earlier and you had to suffer so much. I thought...

He paused, and his expression darkened slightly. He glanced sideways at Idris and continued, You have been in Lake City for many years, Mr. Young. I overestimated you. You couldn't even take care of one person."

His words carried many implications.

Idris frowned slightly, but he was not one to waste words on people. He was not aware of what happened at the police station, and if he had not accidentally noticed the swelling on my hands just now, he probably still would not know.

Ignoring Charlie's mockery, he looked at Charlie coldly and said, "It seems like I was too gentle during the day."

His words were chilling, especially considering Charlie's bandaged face and the fact that he had been wheeled in. It not only carried a threatening tone, but also a strong sense of irony. Charlie was visibly angered, and his once handsome face turned as dark as coal.

In this relatively luxurious hospital room, the atmosphere had become tense. Worried that these two might start fighting again, I quickly raised my hand and rubbed my temples. Frowning tiredly, I said, "I'm a bit tired. Both of you should go. I want to rest for a while."

"I'll stay here with you."

"You sleep. I'll stay here."

Both of them spoke simultaneously, with Charlie half a moment before Idris.

I massaged my forehead and resisted the urge to roll my eyes. These two had quite the understanding' between them.

I looked at them with a forced smile and said, "Both of you should go. I'm much better now, really." I really wanted to say that if it were not so late, I would have loved to go home.

My words seemed to fall on deaf ears as neither of them paid any attention to my suggestion. Idris had already cleaned up the empty food container he brought, throwing it in the trash, and then casually sat down on a nearby chair. He looked like he had no intention of leaving anytime soon.

As for Charlie, he did not need to find a seat. This man had his own wheelchair and casually pulled up the blanket for me, saying, "It's okay, sleep comfortably. I won't disturb you." Chapter 272 Tell Me

2/2

I was stunned for a moment, unable to react.

Idris furrowed his brows slightly and asked, "How is she?"

Ensio replied, "The building wasn't too high. When the rescue team arrived, she was still alive. She was rushed to the hospital and is now in the emergency room."

Idris nodded and said, "I see."

After Ensio finished speaking, he left.

I remained silent and had a strange feeling in my heart. Renata was a police officer, right? Why would she have chosen to escape by jumping from the building when there was a fire? Idris saw that I was not speaking and asked, "What are you thinking?"

I shook my head and looked at him, saying, "It's late. You should go back. I'm fine."

The news of our divorce had already been announced, and there was no need to pretend to be a couple anymore. He really had no reason to stay here.

He did not budge, only saying, "I will investigate what happened at the police station."

I was taken aback, not expecting him to hold on to this matter. I could not help but say, "No..."

"You don't need to investigate, Mr. Young."

Suddenly, a pleasant voice came from outside. It was Charlie. His face was heavily bandaged, and I was not sure if his leg was injured too. Inch was pushing him into the room. Upon hearing his voice, both Idris and I turned our attention to him.

Charlie completely ignored Idris and looked at me with a gentle expression, asking, "Are you feeling better now? Does it still hurt?"

I shook my head, looking at him. I could not help but glance a few more times at his bandaged face, which looked somewhat comical. It was a far cry from his usual appearance. Noticing my gaze, he did not mind and allowed me to look. Then, he turned to Inch and said, Give me the medicine."

Inch nodded and took out a green bottle of medicine from his bag, handing it to him.

Charlie took the medicine and looked back at me, saying, "A girl's hands and feet are delicate. I specifically asked the doctor for this medicine. He said it's the most effective for frostbite. You should apply it morning and night, and the redness and swelling will dissipate in a couple of days. I'll help you apply it."

As he said this, without waiting for my reaction, he opened the bottle and was about to apply the medicine to me. I quickly moved away, afraid of embarrassing him, and took the bottle from his hand, saying, "I can do it myself. Thank you."

He did not mind and just looked at me with some concern.

With several people staring at me like this, I felt particularly uncomfortable for a moment. However, I did not know who to ask to leave, so I chose to remain silent, lowered my head, and focused on applying the medicine.

Idris, on the other hand, suddenly turned to Charlie and asked in a cold tone, "How did you know that her hands and feet were frostbitten?"
