Chapter 107 More Than Just A Sprain
Lysander felt a surge of irritation, but given it was a wedding day, she couldn’t afford to lose her temper outright. Instead, she opted to assist Priscilla first.
It seemed as though Priscilla had sprained her ankle. Despite several attempts, she couldn’t manage te get up.
Tears welled up in Priscilla’s eyes. “Lysander, my leg…I can’t put any strength into it…
“Don’t cry. Don’t be scared. I’m a doctor. I’m here.” As Lysander comforted her, she gently lifted the hem of her skirt to examine her ankle.
Sure enough, the sky-high heels, which she detested, had caused a sprain. This was no minor issue.
Priscilla’s ankle had visibly swollen, a sight that was hard to miss. When she gently touched it, all one could hear was Priscilla sharply inhaling in pain.
“Lysander, is it severe?”
Lysander slowly nodded. “We need to go to the hospital for a check-up and get an X-ray to examine the bones.
The emcee at the side also noticed something was amiss and quickly approached, asking, “What’s wrong with the bride?”
Lysander said, “She twisted her ankle. She can’t walk.”
“What are we going to do, then? We still need to make the toast later!”
Lysander suggested, “You should let the groom know that the bride’s sprain is quite severe. It might have affected her ligaments and cartilage; she needs to visit the hospital. Perhaps he could explain the situation to the guests during the toast. I’m sure everyone would understand.”
“I’m utterly mortified. Boohoo… I had stumbled twice on stage, and everyone saw my embarrassment…”
The host could only nod. “All right. It seems we have no other choice now. Priscilla, are you able to stand up?”
Priscilla shook her head.
The host said, “Just hold on a moment. Let me find your husband so he can carry you back up to the
room.”
“No, no, he’s conversing with a VIP. If we interrupt him, he’ll get upset…” Priscilla pleaded, her eyes and swollen, as she pitifully looked at Lysander. “Lysander, please help me.”

Just as Lysander was about to nod, she suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind her. “Ms. Ziegler, are you all right?”

exuding an air of refined elegance. This only made Priscilla even more nervous. “H-Hello, Mr. Guerra,” she stammered.
Immediately after, she saw Lysanne supporting her large belly, and she said, “Greetings, Mrs. Guerra.”
Harry also rushed over. He scolded with a lowered head, “Aren’t you going to get up already? Do you greet people while sitting on the ground?”
“She can’t get up,” Lysander said, “Her ankle is badly sprained. You should carry her back to the room to rest for a while
Harry was instantly displeased. “Who do you think you are? How’s this your business? Aren’t you just a temporarily hired bridesmaid? I’ve already given you the monetary gift. Why haven’t you left yet?”
Without any hesitation, Lysander shot back, “What about Priscilla if I leave? Are you just going to let her sit on stage, waiting for you to finish your conversation with the esteemed guest?”
“It’s just a sprain. How serious can it be?”
Lysander suppressed the fury in her heart. “Harry Malscy, if you truly love her, can you consider her health first? It’s not just a sprain. She’s also carrying your child!”
“She’s pregnant?”
It wasn’t Harry who said this in slight surprise but Josiah.
However, they were the only ones on the stage at the moment, and everyone could hear them.
Josiah visibly furrowed his brows, turning to ask Lysander. “Will her recent fall affect the child?“
“I don’t know,” Lysander said. “The fall was quite severe just now, and since Priscilla is still in her early months, it’s rather risky.”
“You’re an obstetrician. Can you assess her current condition?”
“It’s hard to say for sure. We must get to the hospital as soon as possible. Only a detailed examination can determine the situation.”
Without wasting any time, Josiah pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “Ms. Collins, drive to the hotel entrance and make it quick!”
Lysanne tugged at him, shaking her head insistently. Josiah, this is someone else’s family matter. We shouldn’t get involved.”
