?Chapter 552:
Yvonne felt her heart jolt. She quickly got up and rushed to Jeffrey.
“Let me see your wrist.”
He instinctively pulled his hand back, hiding it.
“Don’t. Just leave it.”
“I have to check your wound,” she said firmly.
Jeffrey hesitated.
“It’s… not something you should see. It looks bad.”
“I won’t feel at ease unless I see it for myself.”
“It’s really nothing to worry about now.”

Remembering that Norton was outside, Yvonne thought of asking for his help. So she quickly dialed his number.
“Hello?” His deep voice came through the line.
Without wasting time, she asked,
“Do you know how to bandage a wound?”
“Are you injured?” His tone immediately became serious.
“No, it’s Jeffrey. I’m not good at this. Could youe in and help?”
“I’ll be right there.”
He didn’t waste words—just took action.
