“Argh!” Linda yelped out in pain. “Dr. Stafford, it hurts!”

“Relax,” said Seth. He touched her ankle a few times, and after ascertaining her condition, he said, “Your joint just dislocated. You didn’t hurt your bone. Don’t worry. I’ll help you put it back in place. You’ll be fine soon!”

“Huh? You—”

Before Linda could say anything, Seth grabbed her ankle and twisted it.

She felt that there was a fire burning her ankle. She bit her lips tightly, and her face turned pale. Droplets of cold sweat were oozing out of her forehead. Seth grabbed her ankle and twisted it a few times again, and she could only put it up with the pain.

The way she endured the pain aroused Seth’s curiosity about this woman.

“You really are a tough woman.” Seth chuckled. “When I was treating my patients in the past, and if they were young girls, the entire emergency room would be filled with their screams.”

Linda’s lips were turning purple because she was biting them so tightly. She released them slowly, took a deep breath to calm herself down, and said, “It’s getting darker. There are a lot of wild animals here, so do you expect me to scream and attract those wolves?”

Seth looked at her and smiled.

She tried to move her ankle. Although it was still very painful, it was a lot better than earlier. Seth helped her to her feet.

She grabbed her hiking stick with one hand while holding his arm with another. Then, both of them slowly limped down the mountain.

“I don’t have my instruments with me, so I can only give you some basic treatment,” said Seth. “Your ankle is swollen, so remember to put some ice on it when you get home. Also, don’t do any strenuous exercise for a few days so that the joint doesn’t get dislocated again.”
