Chapter 298 I Twisted My Ankle
But just moments ago, Brie had run away on her own.
She hadn’t tried to save her, nor had she called anyone for help.
Right when Victoria started feeling disappointed Brie limped over to her.

“Grandma, are you really not hurt? Do you want me to go with you to the hospital and get checked?”
Victoria glanced at Brie’s foot and asked, puzzled, “What happened to your leg?”
“I ran ahead and tried to find someone who could help you. I ran too fast and twisted my ankle.” Brie bit her lip, her eyes red as she spoke.
Danica looked at Brie’s foot, scratched the back of her head, and frowned.
“Bric, your foot was totally fine just now.”
Just a minute ago, when Danica pulled Brie along, Brie had been walking perfectly straight. How did she suddenly twist her ankle?
“I’m sorry, Danica. I didn’t want you to worry, so I kept pretending my ankle was fine.”
After hearing that, Danica quickly said, “So that is why you were so slow earlier… If your ankle’s hurt, it really would just make things harder for everyone.”
Brie smiled and said, “It’s alright. Grandma’s safe and that’s all that matters. My injury is nothing.”
After that, Danica said, both admiring and feeling sorry for her, “Brie, you’re so thoughtful.” Brie added, “If twisting my ankle once could keep Grandma safe, I’d twist it a hundred times.” Hearing Brie say that, Victoria’s face filled with worry, and guilt welled up inside her.
I knew it. Brie is so kind, and she’s always so good to me. She’d never just leave me behind and run for her own life.
So it turned out it was because she hurt her ankle.
“I’m fine. Brie, is your ankle okay?”
“My ankle’s fine, too. I just need to rest tonight and it’ll be better.” Brie moved her ankle a little to show it was alright, but her face immediately showed a flash of pain.

“Really? I’m still worried. I’ll ask your mom to drive you to the hospital.” Victoria picked up
her coat.
“Grandma… Brie tugged on Victoria’s arm.
“I’m really okay. It’s just a twisted ankle. I’ll put on some ointment and I’ll be fine. It’s late, and you must be tired. You should get some rest.”
If she really went to the hospital, she’d be exposed.
Brie purposely turned to Danica.
“And besides, we have to go to the game tomorrow! We need to get to bed early, right? Danica.”
“Yeah, tomorrow’s game is pretty important for the school’s reputation. Our teacher said everyone has to go.”
Danica moved up to grab Victoria’s arm, acting spoiled. “Let’s go to bed, okay? If I sleep too late, I won’t be able to get up tomorrow.”
Victoria kept staring at Brie’s ankle, and seeing there wasn’t any swelling or redness, she figured it wasn’t serious.
“Alright, you two get some sleep. Tomorrow I’ll go to the tournament with you.”
“Okay.”
Brie and Danica answered in unison.
After all three went back to their rooms, Brie finally relaxed now that the matter was settled. She fell asleep quickly.
Danica was soon asleep as well.
Victoria drifted off quickly, too, but had a very bad dream.
In the dream, Cassia stood in front of her, her body covered in blood.
Her face was blank. Suddenly, Cassia moved in flash, like a ghost, appearing right in front
of her.
Her eyes narrowed into slits, and her lips curled, but the smile never reached her eyes.
Her expression looked like a smile, but it sent a chill down Victoria’s spine and made her hair
stand on end.
