Chapter 85

Chapter 85 The next day , it was no surprise that Leia fell ill again .

At breakfast , the Anderson family all cast disapproving glances at Eli .

It was pretty clear that Leias sudden sickness was a result of the tension caused by him the night before .

Eli , look at what youve done ! Leia was already fragile , and you went and provoked her like that .

Now shes sick again .

Are you happy now ? Kimberly scolded , her eyes full of reproach .

Vincent , though less vocal , also frowned .

Eli , what was with you yesterday ? But surprisingly , Damon , usually the most protective of Leia , remained calm .

He merely shot Eli a cold glance , saying nothing .

Eli , feeling the pressure from his family , scowled .

Whats the big deal ? I just said a few words to her .

I didnt even yell at her .

How is it my fault that shes sick ? Kimberly was about to say more when Noelle , sensing the tension , put down her fork and spoke up , Mom , how about I go check on Leia ? Ive learned some medical techniques , maybe I can help .

Kimberly eyed Noelle with some doubt .

Noelle , are you sure you can handle it ? Yesterday , Noelle had eased Vincents headache with just a massage , and that had left Kimberly feeling rather impressed .

But on second thought , it seemed unrealistic .

Noelle was only eighteen how much could she have possibly learned in such a short time ? Medical school took years to complete , and even a decent doctor was in their thirties or forties .

Noelle could hardly compare to a professional , could she ? But Noelle , ever confident , patted her chest and reassured her mother , Dont worry , Mom .

Ive got this .

Kimberly still wasnt completely convinced , but then Vincent , to everyones surprise , backed Noelle up .

Let Noelle try .

After she helped me last night , I havent had any headaches since .

She might really know something .
