“Blake will be getting a cast, and there’s no need for hospitalization. After half an hour of observation, he’s free to go home.”
After lo
Joel finished speaking, he scanned the corridor to look for Yasmin. When he saw her,
he waved at her.
Yasmin pointed to herself and asked, “Are you calling me?”
“Yes.”
Giselle glanced at Yasmin as the latter approached.
Joel continued, “Blake will require bed rest once he’s home. The recovery might take two to three weeks. I’ll make regular visits for follow–up examinations and to change bandages. I trust you to look after him well.”
“Okay,” Yasmin agreed. Since she was the reason for Blake’s leg fracture, she accepted the responsibility to care for him.
However, Giselle, who stood beside her, wasn’t thrilled. As Blake’s girlfriend, she questioned why Joel entrusted this duty to Yasmin.
With Erik by her side, Giselle entered the ward to check on Blake.
Leaning on the hospital bed, his left leg immobilized in a cast, he showcased his usual striking appearance, marked by thick hair and a sharp nose. Yet, his lowered gaze conveyed a frail and chilly demeanor.
As soon as Erik entered, he apologized to Blake. “Blake, I’m sorry.”

instead.
Outside the ward, after everyone had departed, Joel whispered, “Yasmin, when you Blake fell, did he also get injured in that area?”
That area? Like the crotch?

As soon as she heard this, she broke out in a cold sweat and nervously asked, “Is something wrong?”
“It’s a bit swollen on one side,” replied Joel, still whispering. “Did you hit it when
you fell?”
“Oh no,” she thought. She was wearing a helmet and snow goggles when she fell, and that impact must have been quite severe.
Worried, she asked, “Is everything okay?”
“I don’t know for sure at the moment, but you’ll need to apply some medicine to reduce the swelling and bruising when you get back,” Joel elaborated. “I’ll go get the medicine now. You head over to Blake’s ward, and I’ll see you there.”
“Okay,” Yasmin responded.
