Ellinor looked at Haillieâs injured foot and said, âI reckon Haillieâs foot ainât 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?â
Haillie, tearyâeyed, shot back at Ellinor, âNo ligament tear? Quit your nonsense. Ellinor! Could the doctor possibly be wrong? Do you want me to distrust a professional and trust you instead? Thatâs bankers!
Ellinor didnât bother explaining and moved toward the foot of the bed to touch Haillieâs 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, âDonât touch me! Byran, stop her!â
Snapping back to reality. Byran quickly said âQuit messing around, Ellinor Haillieâs already in enough pain, donât add to itâ
Byran owed Ellinor a favor from a past incident. He understood she didnât like Haillie, but Haillie was his sisterâs best friend, he had to protect her Ellinor looked at Byran seriously. âMr. Howard, I ainât joking around. I really know how to reset bones I guarantee Haillie will be up and about in a minute. Can I prove it?â
Byran was taken aback Looking into Ellinorâs clear eyes, he felt an inexplicable trust. He hesitated for a moment, turned to Haillie, and said, âHaillie, why not let Ellinor give it a shot? She might actually do it!â
Haillie was so angry she nearly fainted, âByran! Do you think Iâm not miserable enough?â
Byran looked uncomfortable, âHaillie, I thinkâ¦â
Losing her patience, Ellinor pushed Byran aside. âEnough dillyâdallying! Hold her down, Iâll do it!â
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 Haillieâs upper body and legs while Ellinor quickly grabbed Haillieâs injured ankle.
Haillieâs scream was earâpiercing!
Before anyone could intervene, Ellinor twisted Haillieâs 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, âHow do you feel, Haillie? Any better?â
Haillie was on the verge of passing out from the pain, tears streaming down her face, âMy foot.. I canât feel it! Ellinor, are you happy now that Iâm crippled?â
What? She canât feel her foot?
Byran started to panic, he glared at Ellinor angrily, âEllinor, you deceived me!â
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, âByran, thereâs a mouse! A mouse! Shoo it away!!!â
Byran was startled too, not by the mouse but by Haillie, who suddenly jumped up.
