“Your hands are so cold, and you don't have the medical knowledge like them. If you hurt Grandma
again, it
wouldn't be good.”
Louisa meant no harm with her words, but to Serena, it sounded like a scolding from her mother.
Her heart was filled with guilt and sorrow.
Arabella and the nurse gently turned Grandma on her side, "Gentlemen, please turn around.’
Kenneth, Sampson, and David immediately turned their backs.
Arabella gently lifted Grandma's nightgown, revealing a severely bruised and swollen waist.
“Bella, is this situation really serious?" Louisa couldn't help but worry.
“It's a soft tissue injury Arabella said, applying an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving cream to
Grandma's
waist. "This cream can reduce inflammation and promote healing. Because Grandma is in severe pain,
we will
give her an oral painkiller to accelerate circulation and promote the absorption of inflammatory
metabolites. It should be alleviated in about 7 to 10 days."
“That long? Isn't there a quicker way?" Serena hadn't expected the recovery time to be so long.
Arabella calmly replied, "You should be grateful she didn't break any bones, otherwise it wouldn't be
measured
in days."
Serena wanted to explain that she didn't do it on purpose, but a look from David silenced her. She
swallowed
her words.
After Arabella had disinfected all of Grandma's wounds, applied the medicine, and fed her crushed
painkillers,
she whispered, "Grandma, rest for a while.”
“Bella, stay with me." Belinda whimpered, the pain unbearable.
“I'm here, rest easy. The medicine will start working soon, and you'll feel better.” Arabella, knowing that
the touch
of her palm against the wheels caused some discomfort, didn't hold Grandma's hand, but leaned in and
spoke
softly, "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me at any time."
“It hurts so much." The pain was real for Belinda. At her age, her body was nowhere near as resilient
as it had
been in her youth.
"You fell, of course it hurts. But fortunately, there are no broken bones, just soft tissue injuries.’ Arabella
paused,
then turned to Sampson, "It would be best to have someone come and take an X-ray, just to be safe.”
“If you Say it's fine, it must be fine." Sampson trusted her medical judgement.
“Let's check anyway, for everyone's peace of mind.’ Arabella reassured, then turned back to the lady
on the bed,
"You rest now. I'll be right here."
"You better not leave.”
“Lwont.”
Drowsy from the pain, Belinda soon fell asleep.
Arabella's gaze then fell on Serena, making her feel a bit uneasy.
"I just."
“Lower your voice. Arabella reminded her, "Grandma isn't fully asleep yet.’
Serena went on to explain in a softer voice, “I saw how beautiful the snow outside was, and I wanted to
take
Grandma out to see it.’
"Don't you know that people who have just woken up should avoid the wind? Especially since Grandma
hasn't
fully recovered yet.’
As Arabella finished, a servant timidly spoke up, “I warned Serena, but she insisted. Her grandma also
indulged her."
“Why didn’t you go with them?" Sampson asked.
"Serena didn't want me to. She said she wanted to take care of her grandma alone, like Ms. Bella.”
All eyes turned to Serena again.
"I just wanted to have a moment alone with Grandma like my sister. If I had known something like this
would happen, I would never have let Grandma leave the house.”
