Chapter 18

"At present, there is severe subcutaneous hematoma. We are not sure if the bone is affected, so we need to take an X-ray."

It was 8 o'clock in the morning at the First Municipal Hospital.

Lisa sat on the examination chair, lifting one foot gently. The cuff of her jeans had been cut open, and the pale ankle formed a stark contrast with the deep purple bruise, which was shocking to the eye.

She glanced at it quickly and, under the psychological effect, felt the pain even more intensely. Especially when the doctor pressed on it firmly while speaking, tears almost welled up in her eyes.

Only then did she realize that the slight bump Jungkook had caused when they were kids was nothing at all.

The doctor quickly wrote a prescription and handed it over with a chuckle. In a very cheerful tone, he said, "It's been a while since I've seen a foot so swollen. Impressive!"

Lisa: "..."

She didn't know what was there to be happy about.

Jungkook couldn't help but laugh as he watched her annoyed expression. He reached out to take the prescription, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. But how did she injure her foot?" The doctor unscrewed the lid of the thermos cup and poured out the steaming Chinese wolfberry water, "According to the situation, it's just a sprain and shouldn't be swollen like this."

Lisa was about to stand up, but her body froze when she heard the doctor's words.

Jungkook noticed and lightly pursed his lips.

Last night, they waited until 8 o'clock, but Mingyu and the others still didn't show up. He suggested that she prop her foot on the car window to prevent further hematoma.

However, Lisa refused and wouldn't give the reason.

In the end, he guessed it right——she was afraid of the dark and windy night, fearing that something might come and bite her foot.

Jungkook couldn't help but laugh at the time, and as a result, she threw a small blanket at him and hit him a few times.

However, under Lisa's threatening gaze, he didn't mention any of this.

He just smiled lightly and said, "Maybe it's just bad luck."

"If it weren't for you scaring me with made-up stories, would my foot be swollen like this?" After leaving the consultation room, Lisa immediately let go of Jungkook. She leaned against the door frame, looked at him displeased, and said, "Are you still laughing?"

"I'm not laughing anymore," Jungkook cleared his throat, tilted his head, and chuckled one last time, "Give me your hand."

"No, I'll go by myself."

He raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure? It's three floors up."

Given her current condition, even reaching the elevator would probably be difficult.

"I'll still go by myself." Lisa emphasized each word, and indeed, she assumed an attitude of not wanting to be associated with him, hopping towards the hospital corridor.

With one foot off the ground, her posture should have looked awkward, but her posture remained straight. With each hop, her long black curly hair swayed behind her.

The radiant sunlight filtered through the windows at the end of the corridor, falling gracefully on the tips of her hair.

Even when she was hopping on one foot, she was still a beautiful little peacock.
