Chapter 25
"Yvonne! Yvonne!" Diana shouted while leaning against the gate.
"What happened to you?" Yolanda walked up when she heard Diana's pained shouts.
When Diana saw her, she rolled her eyes and scolded, "Are you blind? Can't you see that I've twisted my ankle? What are you waiting for? Come and help me up."
Yolanda helped Diana into the villa as Diana groused the entire way.
"I've had bad luck ever since you came home. I bet you're a troublemaker who won't be satisfied until our family has no peace. Why do I even keep you? When you were born, I should have strangled…"
…
"Mom! What happened to you?" Yvonne heard the commotion and rushed down from upstairs.
When she saw Diana limping into the living room while being supported by Yolanda, she quickly approached them and held Diana's other arm.
Yolanda couldn't be bothered to compete with Yvonne for any approval, so she let go and went back to her room.
"I sprained my ankle during my morning run. I didn't have my phone with me, so I forced myself to walk back."
Diana's brow was beaded with cold sweat. Her left ankle was so swollen that she couldn't even put on her slippers.
"Yvonne, bring over a liniment and apply it for me."
She dared not move right now, for every little movement would cause a piercing pain in her ankle.
Somewhat helplessly, Yvonne said, "But we don't have any liniment in our house… I'll tell the housekeeper to get some right now."
At that, she dashed into the kitchen and sent the housekeeper, who was working there, to get some liniment.
"When will the liniment arrive?" Diana would ask every minute afterward. The pain was becoming unbearable to her.
"Soon. It'll probably be here soon…" Yvonne quickly answered.
She had lived a pampered life ever since she was a child and had hardly ever been hurt. Naturally, she didn't know how to take care of someone, much less how to handle sprains.
"It hurts! It hurts so bad… I'm going to die from the pain!" Diana kept crying out.
"Should we call an ambulance?" Yvonne suggested tentatively.
"No! Don't call an ambulance!"
If Diana had to be hoisted into an ambulance in front of their neighbors for getting a sprained ankle during a run, she would be humiliated.
Yolanda came out of her room and approached Diana.
"I'll take a look at it for you."
Diana's screeches were too annoying, so Yolanda couldn't get any peace in her room.
Diana said inimically, "You? What could you even do after taking a look? Are you going to massage it? Or perhaps you know how to set bones?
"Go away. Don't come over and annoy me. Stay far away. Just looking at you agitates me."
Yolanda glanced down at Diana's left foot and said, "Your bones have dislocated. If you don't receive treatment in time, there will probably be complications."
Yolanda did not intend to scare Diana. She was telling the truth. Diana's sprain was not serious at the beginning. However, she had forced herself to walk back, which aggravated her injury. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
If she was not treated as soon as possible, her leg would probably become impaired. She would have to walk with a limp from then on.
Given Diana's personality, if her leg actually became impaired, she would make a fuss, and the family would never know peace.
Since Yolanda had decided to stay here and fulfill the original Yolanda's wish, she didn't want to watch Diana flip out every day.
"Pft! I just got a sprain. How could there be any complications? Are you cursing me, you troublemaker?"
