"Lydia, are you okay?" Hertha rushed over, supporting Lydia with concern. She observed Lydia's face, noticing a black eye that made her look like a one-eyed panda. Hertha couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

Lydia turned around, puzzled, "What's so funny?"

“Nothing, just that you've turned into a national treasure, quite amusing." Hertha didn't hide her amusement.

Realizing what Hertha meant, Lydia touched her bruised eye, wincing at the sudden pang of pain: "Ouch..." Lydia sucked in a breath through her teeth.

"How bad is it? Should we head to the hospital?" Thalassa, pushing Lysander along, asked with concern.

"Hey, what's the hospital for? It's just a scratch. I'll just apply some traditional medicine when we get back, it'll be fine by tomorrow. Don't forget, I'm practically a doctor now," Lydia boasted, trying to downplay the injury with a bravado smile.

"That's true." Thalassa remembered Lydia was learning medical skills from Dr. Funke, so a minor injury like this was nothing to her.
