“Your ankle is still injured, and you went out. You must be feeling very ufortable now,” Makhi seemed to know what she was going to say and spoke persuasively, “If you keep pushing yourself without resting properly, it will be even harder to recoverter.”


    Ranita sighed.


    She still had work to do, and she really needed to quickly heal her ankle injury.


    “I went out for a run, and my ankle is indeed hurting badly.” Ranita paused and looked at Makhi gratefully. “Could you please take me back?”


    “We were college ssmates back in the day, helping each other is only natural.”


    Ranita was already feeling tired, and when she tried to stand up on one foot, she lost her bnce. Fortunately, Makhi quickly grabbed her arm. “How about taking a rest before going back up?”


    “I’m fine… hiss…” Ranita had been enduring the pain while worrying about Eve earlier, but now that she rxed a bit, even the slightest movement made her gasp.


    Her face turned pale, and Makhi worriedly said, “How about I take you to the hospital?”


    “No, it’s not necessary. The doctor already said it’s just a sprain and not a bone injury! Going to the hospital would probably just result in the same medication.” Ranita’s reasoning made sense, and Makhi furrowed his brows, walked up to her, and crouched down slightly. “I’m sweaty, but if you don’t mind, I can carry you up.”


    Ranita didn’t mind.


    However, she felt like it would be too much of a bother to have someone carry her.


    “Mr. Terry… I can walk… I don’t want to trouble you.”


    “Alright, I’ll support you back then.”


    Makhi helped her back home. There was a night light left on in the room, and Ayaan was already asleep. The nanny saw her return and quickly packed her things to leave.


    Makhi didn’t close the door and kept his distance. “How’s your foot?”


    “I just need to rest for a while, and then I’ll apply the ointment. Thank you for bringing me back.”


    “By the way, I remember the doctor prescribed a bottle of medicinal wine for promoting blood cirction and relieving stasis. If you want, I can wait for you and give you a massageter. Consider it going the extra mile.”


    Ranita didn’t want to trouble Makhi too much.


    But now, she didn’t have anyone around who could lend a hand…


    “Ranita, don’t feel burdened. I’m your senior, and we’re also partners.” Makhi smiled. “If you have any friends who can help or…”


    Olivia was even more severely injured, and Eve was drunk.


    “Then I’ll trouble you, Mr. Terry.”


    Ranita quickly freshened up, changed into clean home clothes, but her movements were a bit slow due to her leg. However, Makhi was patient and showed no signs of annoyance.


    After applying the ointment with the medicinal wine, Makhi helped her. “This ointment works quite well. If you get a good night’s sleep, you’ll feel much better tomorrow.”Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    With the ointment applied to her ankle, it felt much better.


    Ranita gratefully said, “Thank you, Mr. Terry.”


    “You’re wee. I’ll take my leave then!”


    Ranita hopped on one foot to see Makhi off, but just as she was about to speak, she saw Brendon standing at the door, with a cold expression that made him seem unapproachable.


    Makhi wanted to say something, but Ranita immediately pulled him back. “Take care.”


    Makhi understood that there were some things that outsiders couldn’t say.


    Once Makhi left, Ranita looked at Brendon with indifference.


    One inside the door, the other outside.


    “Why are you here?” Brendon asked. He had been standing at the door for five minutes, and although the door was open, seeing them getting along harmoniously still made him feel uneasy.


    “I injured my foot, and he helped me apply the ointment.” Ranita honestly exined, and then sneered softly, “You knew about it when we were at the hospital, didn’t you?”
