New beginning: Billionaire love story

Chapter 177 Hospital

Claire sat on the hospital bed, her sprained ankle elevated on a pillow. Adrian was by her side, looking concerned. The doctor had just finished examining her ankle thoroughly to ensure there were no broken bones. Satisfied with his findings, he began wrapping Claire's foot with a bandage.

"You'll be fine in a few days," the doctor said, securing the bandage. "But in the meantime, you need to avoid wearing heels."

Claire's eyes widened slightly. "I can't! Heels are a part of me."

Adrian chuckled softly. "It's only for a few days, Claire."

Claire pouted and sighed. "Fine. A day without heels it's like a day of not working."

The doctor continued, "Also, try not to move around too much and apply ice to reduce the swelling."

Adrian nodded. "Got it. Thank you, doctor."

The doctor gave a small nod and left the room, leaving Claire and Adrian alone.

Adrian turned to Claire. "How's your ankle feeling now? Still hurting?"

Claire moved her ankle slightly, wincing a little. "It still hurts, but it's much better than earlier."

"Good to hear," Adrian said, relieved. "Let's get you down from here."

Adrian carefully helped Claire down from the bed. He held her heels in one hand and supported her with the other. Claire balanced on her good foot, grateful for Adrian's help.

"You really should listen to the doctor, you know," Adrian said gently.

"I know, I know," Claire replied, rolling her eyes playfully. "But you know how much I love my heels."

Adrian smiled. "You'll survive a few days without them. Think of it as a mini-vacation for your feet."

Claire laughed. "I suppose that's one way to look at it."

Adrian looked down at the heels in his hand. "You know, I've always wondered how you manage to walk in these things."

Claire smirked. "It's a skill, Adrian. One you wouldn't understand."

"Just don't wear these to often. It can injured you."

Claire, he breathed a sigh of relief, placed both his hands on her shoulders, and asked, "Are you okay?" Claire smiled and said, "I'm fine."
