The doctor massaged Kisa's ankle with his unique technique, and Kisa almost cried out in pain.
Jensen looked on, anxious. He wanted to ask the doctor to be gentler, but was afraid that it would be ineffective. Kisa was sweating from the pain as if she had gone through a torture.
"The fluid in your ankle has to be pushed out of your ankle. When the swelling subsides, I will have to see if your bones are also injured," the doctor said, turning around to dispense the prescription.
Jensen took a tissue to wipe the sweat from Kisa's forehead. "Are you okay?" Jensen sounded anxious.
Kisa nodded. "I'm still holding up."
Jensen stroked her head, feeling sorry for her. "You must be more careful next time. Don't be so restless."
Kisa looked nonplussed. 'He thought I was as restless as a child, so I fell?' Just as she was about to say something, a teasing half laugh came from the doorway.
"I thought you were here to see me. It turns out that you hurt your foot, too. Mia was leaning against the door with her cane, a pair of slanted eyes drifting back and forth over Kisa's foot.
"We did come to..."
"Why are you down on the floor?" Jensen asked, frowning at her before Kisa could finish her sentence.
Mia smiled self-deprecatingly. "I saw you coming to the hospital from the window a long time ago, but I didn't see you coming to see me. I didn't know that you came to the hospital because of her."
Kisa wanted to explain something, but the doctor had already finished writing the prescription and handed it to Jensen. "Apply it externally, three times a day, and keep an eye on her. Don't let her walk around."
Jensen nodded, thanked him, and pushed Kisa out the door.
Jensen frowned in displeasure. "No smoking in the ward. You may smoke outside."
"Heh, do you sound like you are talking to an injured person? I saw you were very gentle with Kisa."
"Don't get me wrong. He is just taking care of me like a brother to a sister." Kisa did not know how to explain, so she found a random thing to say.
Mia covered her mouth and snickered. "You want to be a sister, but someone doesn't want to be a brother."
Kisa subconsciously looked at Jensen; his expression did not look too good. She lowered her eyes and secretly gripped the armrest of her wheelchair. 'Perhaps I shouldn't have come to see Mia today, or more precisely, I shouldn't have come to see Mia with Jensen.'
Mia did not smoke, and she looked upset and her eyes drifted back toward Kisa's injured foot.
