Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Chapter 165

Grace came sprinting up, panic etched across her face, as she called out, “Mr. Curtis, Suzan’s hurt!”

Upon hearing someone was injured, Leanne didn’t hesitate. Her long strides closed the distance as she rushed toward the scene. The instincts of a physician, honed through years of medical school and practice, were ingrained in her very marrow.

Impartial in the face of injury, she would’ve assisted anyone in need – even Curtis, had he been the one wounded.

All those nights spent poring over textbooks, and not once had they suggested turning a blind eye to those in distress.

Pushing past the crowd, Leanne rounded the bend to find Suzan propped up on a large rock, her face contorted with pain.

“What happened?” Leanne inquired..

Suzan bit her lip in agony. “I missed a step and took a tumble. I’m fine, really. You guys should all go on; dawn’s breaking soon.”

Her light-colored jeans were torn, revealing a bleeding wound at her ankle.

Leanne, with her gloved hands, gently lifted Suzan’s ankle to inspect it more closely. “Can you move your foot? Is there pain anywhere else?” she asked.

“It might be sprained; my ankle’s throbbing. Not sure if I can walk on it,” Suzan winced.

Leanne, silent, turned to Curtis to ask for her backpack containing her emergency medical

kit.
