HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 1089

The medical staff immediately knelt beside Josh and carefully began examining his hand. Eli remained beside him, not even realizing that her own hand had been clenched since she saw Josh fall. She could only watch every movement of the medical staff, hoping the injury was not as serious as it appeared.

“Try moving your hand.”

Josh followed the instruction. He could still move several of his fingers, but when he tried to move his wrist, his expression immediately changed. The pain that appeared made him wince unconsciously.

Eli saw it. “It hurts, doesn’t it?”

“A little.”

“A little?” Eli stared at him in disbelief. “Your face even turned pale, Josh!”

Josh tried to smile. “I can still bear it.”

The medical staff examined his wrist again before finally shaking their head slowly. “It looks like you’ve sprained your wrist. We need to take you to the medical room for further examination.”

Josh immediately shook his head. “There’s no need.”

Eli turned to him.

The medical staff did not seem surprised by his answer. “You need to be examined further to make sure there are no other injuries.”

“I can still play.”

“No.” The answer was firm.

Josh frowned. “I can still use this hand.”

“For now, maybe. But that doesn’t mean you can continue the game. If it is sprained and you keep using it, the condition could get worse.”

Josh fell silent.

His gaze shifted to the court. The game was not over yet. Miller was in a difficult situation, and Raven clearly would not let this opportunity pass. As captain, Josh knew his team needed him.

“I can’t just leave the game.”

Eli immediately gave him a sharp look.

She had actually expected Josh to say something like that. From the beginning, she knew how important this game was to Josh. He had trained hard to bring Miller University to the semifinals, and as captain, Josh must have felt a great responsibility toward his entire team.

However, seeing the condition of his hand now, Eli could not let him continue to push himself.

“Why can’t you?” Eli asked curtly.
