Chapter 242
Ellinor looked at Haillie’s injured foot and said, “I reckon Haillie’s foot ain’t got a torn ligament, just a bone dislocated from a sprain. I know a thing or two about resetting bones, no surgery is needed. Wanna give it a shot, Haillie?”
Haillie, teary–eyed, shot back at Ellinor, “No ligament tear? Quit your nonsense. Ellinor! Could the doctor possibly be wrong? Do you want me to distrust a professional and trust you instead? That’s bankers!
Ellinor didn’t bother explaining and moved toward the foot of the bed to touch Haillie’s injured ankle
Haillie immediately yanked her leg away, not letting Ellinor get close!
The movement caused her to break out in a cold sweat from the pain, she managed to warn weakly, “Don’t touch me! Byran, stop her!”
Snapping back to reality. Byran quickly said “Quit messing around, Ellinor Haillie’s already in enough pain, don’t add to it”
Byran owed Ellinor a favor from a past incident. He understood she didn’t like Haillie, but Haillie was his sister’s best friend, he had to protect her
Ellinor looked at Byran seriously. “Mr. Howard, I ain’t joking around. I really know how to reset bones I guarantee Haillie will be up and about in a minute. Can I prove it?”
Byran was taken aback Looking into Ellinor’s clear eyes, he felt an inexplicable trust. He hesitated for a moment, turned to Haillie, and said, “Haillie, why not let Ellinor give it a shot? She might actually do it!”
Haillie was so angry she nearly fainted, “Byran! Do you think I’m not miserable enough?”
Byran looked uncomfortable, “Haillie, I think…”
Losing her patience, Ellinor pushed Byran aside. “Enough dilly–dallying! Hold her down, I’ll do it!”
Byran was pushed forward a few steps. He hesitated momentarily and then decided to throw caution to the wind!
He did as Ellinor said, holding Haillie’s upper body and legs while Ellinor quickly grabbed Haillie’s injured ankle.
Haillie’s scream was ear–piercing!
Before anyone could intervene, Ellinor twisted Haillie’s ankle a couple of times, gave it a push, and it was over.
Everyone was stunned and rushed over to check on Haillie!
Ellinor calmly retreated and began to wipe her hands with a tissue, making sure each finger was clean.
Byran anxiously asked Haillie, ‘How do you feel, Haillie? Any better?”
Haillie was on the verge of passing out from the pain, tears streaming down her face, “My foot.. I can’t feel it! Ellinor, are you happy now that I’m crippled?”
What? She can’t feel her foot?
Byran started to panic, he glared at Ellinor angrily, “Ellinor, you deceived me!”
Ellinor ignored him, throwing the used tissue into the trash. Then she pulled out a black thing from her pocket and threw it at Haillie, hitting her right on the money!
Haillie, who was sobbing, looked down and let out a yelp. She jumped off the bed and hid behind Byran, “Byran, there’s a mouse! A mouse! Shoo it away!!!”
Byran was startled too, not by the mouse but by Haillie, who suddenly jumped up.
