Outside in the corridor, Matthew dialed Stella. “How are things on your end?” he asked.
The sound of a door closing echoed faintly from Stella’s side of the line.
“I brought Miley back home. She didn’t utter a word and just headed straight to her bed once in her room.”
“Alright.” Matthew glanced towards the exam room. “Soothe her. It’s all a big misunderstanding. After that, I’ll have Neville say sorry.”
“A misunderstanding?” Stella was taken aback, struggling to believe it. She had witnessed the closeness between Susie and Neville with her own eyes, and Neville’s failure to provide a clear explanation.
How could this possibly be a misunderstanding?
“Yes.” Pausing for a moment, Matthew shared the details with Stella.
“I’m here at the hospital with Neville to get his leg checked.”
Stella let out a relieved exhale upon learning the truth.
As long as Neville hadn’t betrayed Miley, that was what mattered.
“Then you stay with him. We’ll discuss this later.” Realizing it was all a misunderstanding, Stella’s attitude towards Neville softened, showing none of her earlier resentment or distaste.
As Matthew ended the call, Neville emerged from the consultation room.
Matthew pocketed his phone and inquired, “How did it go?”
Neville wore a troubled expression, his lips moved, but he remained silent.
Concerned about Neville’s well-being, Matthew turned to the doctor and inquired, “Is he seriously injured?”

“We need to conduct an X-ray to assess his condition and ensure accurate diagnosis.” The doctor furrowed his brow. “However, why did he procrastinate seeking treatment for such a severe injury?”
“What exactly is the condition of his injury?” Matthew asked.

The doctor adjusted his glasses’ frame and explained, “Based on the initial examination, he experiences numbness on the inner side of his right thigh, and walking exacerbates the pain. He is relying on his left foot for support. Moreover, over eight hours have passed since he sustained the injury. Determining the exact severity of the injury is challenging. Let’s proceed with the X-ray first and then plan for subsequent treatment.”
Matthew hadn’t anticipated the severity of the situation. He nodded and instructed someone to accompany Neville for the X-ray procedure.
Only after the completion of the X-ray did they ascertain that Neville had suffered a severe injury to the femoral nerves in his thigh.
The doctor promptly issued a hospitalization notice and devised a treatment plan for Neville. “The condition is quite severe. We must proceed with surgery to address it.”
Matthew frowned. “Will he be fine after the operation?”
Examining the X-ray image, the doctor reassured, “The chances of recovery are high. Try not to worry too much.”
Hearing this, Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.
