Chapter 132 Fracture
I couldn’t control myself and burst out laughing.
Just then, Leonard noticed me. He immediately let go of Alisa, and she almost fell.
However, her reflexes were fast, so she quickly grabbed Leonard’s neck.
Then, she opened her mouth dramatically, like she’d just seen me.
“I’m sorry, Eva. Leonard wanted to take me shopping today, but I twisted my ankle.
“Are you feeling unwell? He didn’t mean to abandon you. This is all my fault; I’m too clumsy!”
She leaned against Leonard’s shoulder unhappily. Meanwhile, Leonard rolled his eyes.
He looked at me helplessly, as if he wanted me to save him.
In the meantime, I tried to laugh as I helped Alisa up. Her ankle wasn’t even swollen at all. This left me speechless-wouldn’t it look more believable if she pretended to get a heatstroke instead? “It’s alright. You’re my cousin, so you’re like an older sister to Leonard. He won’t ignore his older sister, right?”
Since Leonard and I were the same age, Alisa was older than him.
However, she didn’t want to be reminded that she was older, and her expression turned sour.
“Eva, I skipped grades in school. Besides, I’m only two years older than you.”
“Yes, so you’re my older cousin.”
I feigned ignorance and looked at her. Ever since I started going to school, I knew how to fake innocence.
After we brought Alisa to the emergency room, the doctors couldn’t control the expressions on their faces. Yet, since they were working in a luxurious private hospital, they still maintained a professional smile.
“It’s only a slight sprain. She’ll be fine after resting at home.”
“Will I really be okay after resting at home? But, my ankle hurts a lot.”
Alisa looked at Leonard with tearful eyes.
The latter looked at his phone impatiently.
He was always like this. Whenever Leonard interacted with a woman that he disliked, he distanced himself from them.
“I may have fractured my ankle, Leonard.”
At that point, I didn’t have the energy to complain about her anymore; Leonard wasn’t even a doctor!
Meanwhile, the doctor could only write another prescription. “You should get an X-ray then.
“The family members have to pay the fees for the patient and bring her to the X-ray room.”
When the doctor tried to pass the bill to Leonard, the latter pretended to receive a call and walked out of the room.
So, the doctor looked at me. I sighed and took the prescription from him.
After looking at Alisa’s unharmed ankle, I suddenly devised a plan, Chapter 132 Fracture

“I’ll go get Leonard to bring you over.”
Once I ran outside the room, I saw the angry expression on Leonard’s face.
Then, I held my head and collapsed into his arms.
“Eva!” He looked at me anxiously while I winked at him.
Leonard instantly knew what I was trying to do. “I’ll send you home. I think your blood sugar is low again.”
This made me a little speechless. I thought he could think of a better excuse than that.
Why wouldn’t I remain in the hospital, if I had low blood sugar? Why would I have to go home?
Just then, Alisa stopped putting on an act and hurriedly rushed out of the room.
“How about me? I need to get a checkup!”
“I’ll get a cab for you later. But, I’ll have to send Eva back first.”
Leonard carried me and ran away swiftly.
On the other hand, I saw Alisa stomp her left foot angrily. She seemed to forget that her left ankle had been fractured earlier.
After boarding the car, Leonard exhaled deeply. Without a moment’s hesitation, he drove away.
Suddenly, he looked at me. “Why did you go to the hospital today?”
I paused, then hurriedly patted my bag.
“I needed to have a follow-up for my previous chemotherapy session. Aren’t I too skinny? So, Dr. Pope gave me some anti-radiation pills.”
Leonard didn’t think too much about that. “I’ll follow you to the hospital next time. Don’t go there by yourself.”
I nodded silently in response.
“It seems that Alisa is going to make her next move. In fact, she might even try to drug me. What are you going to do?”
“I’ll wait and see how far she will go.”
As I stared at the window impassively, I thought that it was going to rain soon.
