After all, a fracture wasn't something you could ignore by simply toughing it out.
"...You can't even walk properly. What can you do?"
Old Madam Xiao spoke sharply.
But every word was true.
The onlookers all nodded.
"Exactly."
"Go on."
"If it's nothing serious, it won't cost much."
"Just let the doctor take a look and see if your ankle is broken..."
"Even if it's only a sprain, have the doctor prescribe something. It'll help you recover faster."
The old woman seemed a little persuaded.
She pressed her lips together.
Then she thought of a problem...
A very important problem.
How could she go by herself...
"Give me your family's phone number."
Madam Xiao took out her phone.
She looked up at the old woman sitting in the chair, intending to contact her family for her.
After all, the old woman had hurt her foot.
Whatever the injury was, she couldn't go to the hospital or get home by herself.
The old woman shook her head.
Huh?
Madam Xiao was slightly taken aback.
She'd thought she and the old woman had reached an understanding.
The old woman had seemed persuaded just moments ago, ready to give up on refusing to go to the hospital...
So why...
Were they back where they'd started?
Madam Xiao was baffled...
After a brief pause, Old Madam Xiao's expression changed.
"You—"
Old Madam Xiao looked a little helpless and slightly annoyed.
Why had she changed her mind so quickly?
That was an awfully quick change of heart...
"Hadn't we just agreed?"
The onlookers, who had been about to disperse, stopped.
They looked at the old woman.
"They're only trying to help you."
Why couldn't she appreciate people's good intentions?
What a responsible business.
Wouldn't they be delighted if
