"Ah!"
In her haste, coupled with the deep anger in her heart, Lily Turner's unfortunate foot twisted, causing her to suddenly lose her balance and fall onto the floor.
Seeing this scene, Easton Holmes, who was leaning against the door frame, quickly put away his amused expression. With a swift movement, he straightened up and took large strides towards Lily, who was on the floor. When he reached her side, he stopped, looking down at her from his height, "Are you okay?"
As he asked, his eyes were observing her foot, seeing her rubbing her ankle with her hand. Because she had her head lowered, he couldn't see her expression at that moment.
After a long while, she still hadn't responded to him, not even raising her head.
"Hey! I'm talking to you. Are you okay?"
Easton Holmes lifted his foot and nudged Lily Turner's other foot, but the result was the same. She still didn't respond to him, continuing to keep her head down and rubbing her ankle.
Ugh! What on earth is wrong with this woman? Could it be that the injury to her foot is serious?
Lily Turner's ongoing disregard made Easton Holmes a bit restless; he squatted down to examine the foot she was rubbing with her hand, "Let me see your..."
The moment he reached out, she turned around to face the other way, giving him an indifferent back.
"Let me take a look." Easton Holmes used both hands to turn Lily Turner, who had her back to him, around, forcibly pulling away the hand she had on her ankle. As soon as her hand was moved, the redness and swelling on her ankle suddenly came into view. He tilted his head, dissatisfied, and looked at her, "If you're hurt, then..."
He suddenly saw a tear-streaked face. He hated it when women cried in front of him. If she were one of his female soldiers, he would've yelled at them to go stand in reflection a long time ago.
But facing her like this, he was a bit at a loss, and the words he spoke turned very soft, even somewhat cautious, "Does it hurt? I'll take you to the hospital right away."
Saying that, he reached out to lift her to take her to the hospital.
"I don't want to go to the hospital."
Lily Turner reached out to push away Easton Holmes, who was about to lift her. With so many paparazzi outside now, she didn't want to go out and have them take random pictures, especially in her current disheveled state. Those two backstabbers would laugh at her to death if they saw her.
Although Easton Holmes didn't know exactly what was going on, seeing Lily Turner like this, he guessed that she might be afraid of being seen by those entertainment reporters outside. He didn't insist on taking her to the hospital. He took out his phone from his pocket, found the number he wanted in his contacts, and immediately dialed it.
"Hello! Leader!" As soon as the call connected, a young woman's voice immediately came through the phone.
"Bring the medical kit to Jingyuan Residential Area right away. I'll send you the exact address shortly."
"Yes!"
The person on the other end responded crisply, and Easton Holmes did not hesitate at all, decisively hanging up the phone. He sent the exact address where he was located via text message to the woman he had just called.
Easton Holmes didn't deliberately avoid Lily Turner when he made the call. Lily was sitting right beside him, having heard the entire conversation clearly. She guessed what he was doing by calling someone over; she just couldn't believe it was real.
Wait a minute! What did the woman on the phone just call him? Leader?! Isn't he the head of the Dark Empire? How did he become a leader now?
"Let me help you sit over there. A doctor will be here soon." As she lowered her head in puzzlement, he suddenly reached out to help her.
