Chapter 200
A sudden shriek had everyone jumping out of their skins!
“What just happened?”
“What’s going on in there?”
“That sounds like Haillie”
Elinor and Belinda heard it too. They exchanged a startled look and shook their heads, indicating they had no idea what was going on.
They had just come out of there, and Haillie seemed perfectly fine when they left..
Then they all rushed into the changing room together.
Inside, Haillie sat alone on a bench, pale as a ghost, with a pained expression on her face and tiny beads of sweat on her forehead.
Seeing this, Bryan stepped forward and asked, “What’s up with you?”
Jonah also moved closer, softly asking. “What happened?“|
Haillie locked up at them, trembling as she said. “My my foot…”
What was wrong with her foot?
Everyone’s attention was drawn to Haillie’s feet. One foot was still in a shoe; the other was bare, stretched out as if enduring some severe pain!
“My foot was sweating, so I decided to change shoes before going out again. But when I was changing, something in the shoe pricked the sole of my foot, and it hurts like
hell.”
Haillie explained, struggling to keep the pain at bay
Hearing this, Bryan immediately knelt down to examine her foot. “There’s definitely something lodged in her foot! It looks like a nail! What do we do now?”
Jonah, dropping his usual casual tone, said seriously. “Don’t worry, there’s an emergency doctor at the stable. I’ll get someone to fetch him.”
Bryan comforted her, saying. “Hang in there, the stable doctor will be here soon to treat your wound”
Haillie nodded, tears streaming down her face.
Nearby, Belinda found something strange. She tugged at Elinor’s hand and whispered in her ear, “Isn’t that the boot you just tried on? How is there a nail in it?”
Elinor, looking at Haillie, squinted her eyes but said nothing.
The stable doctor arrived quickly and checked Haillie’s foot.
Then he pulled out a pair of tweezers from his medical kit, quickly removed the nail lodged in Haillie’s foot, disinfected the wound, and dressed it.
Throughout the process, Haillie was in tears, gripping Byran’s arm tightly
After everything was done, the doctor advised, “It’s all right now. The nail has been removed. Make sure not to get it wet for a few days to prevent infection.”
Haillie, who looked like she had gone through torment, weakly said to Bryan, “Bryan, it still hurts a lot. Could you ask the doctor for some painkillers?”
Looking at Haillie’s pained face, Bryan felt both sympathy and anger. He frowned at the doctor and said, “What the hell is going on here? How can there be dangerous things like nails in the changing room?”
The doctor, with an innocent look on his face, explained, “Eh, Mr. Howard, the earring isn’t ours. What hurt Haillie was a lady’s earring, and we don’t have any female staff in the stable, so there’s no way it could be ours.”
With that, the stable doctor presented the earring he had just removed to prove the stable’s innocence.
It was indeed an earring, and it even had a diamond on it!
