Chapter 517

Carlene looked at lan, feeling somewhat touched. She knew in her heart that he still cared about her.

“lan, you still care about me.”

lan sat on the sofa without responding.

After Phelps had finished checking Carlene’s finger, he was about to leave, but Carlene held out her other hand.

“I think this hand feels off too.”

Although Phelps didn’t understand, he knew that Carlene was intentionally trying to keep him there.

But why?

Phelps subconsciously glanced at lan.

lan, however, did not look at him. He seemed a bit absent–minded.

Phelps had heard from Tyler last night that lan was flirting with someone else:

But now, seeing how lan treated Carlene, he didn’t seem to care about other people’s opinions. The flirting was

probably just Tyler’s nonsense.

Phelps patiently checked Carlene’s other hand again, then looked at her with a smile.

“Ms. Shepard, can I leave now?”

The whole process took forty minutes. Carlene’s lips curled up.

“Dinner’s ready. Wanna stick around for a bite?”

Phelps shook his head and glanced at his watch. “Nah, I’ve got stuff to deal with.”

Carlene didn’t try to find other excuses to keep Phelps any longer, due to the time they had already spent.

Meanwhile, Phelps received three calls from Abner, all asking him to come treat him.

After leaving the Shepard family, Phelps went straight to the hospital.

On the other side, Maja’s forehead was drenched with sweat, and her lips were pale. She kept asking if her hand

could recover.

The doctor looked at her uncertainly. If he told her she couldn’t recover, she might have a breakdown. But

considering the state of her hand, full recovery would be difficult. “Ms. Pennyfeather, I can’t be sure.”

Upon hearing this, Maja could only hold back her tears.

Carol wanted to comfort her, but Maja said, “Carol, I want to rest a bit. You can go back first.”

Carol didn’t know what to say. She silently stayed with her for half an hour before leaving.

Maja kept thinking about what the doctor had said, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Just then, the door to the room was pushed open, and Phelps, in his white coat, walked in.

Maja quickly wiped away her tears.

Phelps sat down, quickly glanced at the medical record, and then started examining Maja’s hand.

“How did you get hurt?”

Maja’s voice was hoarse. “Will my hand recover?”

Phelps looked at her. “Could you accept it if we had to amputate your finger?”

Hearing this, Maja’s eyes fell. Her other hand gripped the sheet tightly, and her chest heaved, but she couldn’t say

a word.

Phelps continued the careful examination. His voice was steady. “That was the worst–case scenario. I will treat it

again. Your soft tissue condition is good. As long as the follow–up care is proper, there won’t be any after–effects.

But the next examination may hurt a bit. I’ll try to be gentle..

The doctor had already examined it once and done preliminary treatment, but because of the delay, the finger was

now swollen with blood, and a fe–examination would definitely hurt more.

Maja nodded and leaned back on the bed, closing her eyes.

“Luckily, the damage is not comprehensive. If both the skin and soft tissues were damaged, we would have to

amputate. Your finger bone is still intact, but the skin is thin, which makes it look worse than most injuries. There’s

also the dislocation.”

Sweat poured down Maja’s face, but she didn’t say a word, which surprised Phelps.

The examination and treatment took twenty minutes, and the wound was treated again.

Maja looked at her hand and asked, “Will it really recover?”

Phelps was already standing up, checking the sheet in his hand.

“Yes, you’ll need to stay in the hospital for a few days. I need to check on you regularly. Oh, I forgot to introduce

myself. I’m Phelps. I work at this hospital. Once your hand gets a bit better, you can be discharged. This is a special

request from the Miller family.”

So he was Phelps.

Maja felt somewhat relieved. “As long as it can recover, that’s good.”

Phelps looked at her. “If you feel pain, I can give you an anesthetic.”

“No need.”

Hearing that it could recover, Maja’s eyes brightened considerably. She leaned back on the bed and said no more.

Phelps had a bunch of paperwork to deal with, so he didn’t chat more.

Maja hadn’t had breakfast since morning, and now Carol was back, bringing her breakfast and a small table to put

in front of her.

Maja’s left hand could still move, she could drink soup herself with a spoon.

Carol said, “This must be Carlene’s doing How could it be such a coincidence that she got injured too?”

With Carol’s personality, she would love to go straight to Carlene and confront her.

She looked at Maja, but Maja’s attitude was always calm. She closed her eyes and seemed to be thinking about

something
