Chapter 130 Orthopedic Correction
Katherine looked at Sophie's injured foot and said, "In my opinion, Ms. Jones, this foot injury isn't a ligament tear, just a sprain that caused a bone dislocation. And I happen to know a bit about orthopedic correction. No surgery, no operation, and your foot can be as good as new. Ms. Jones, do you want to give it a try?"
Sophie, sobbing, looked at Katherine. "Not a ligament tear? Katherine, stop talking nonsense! Are you saying that the doctor has made a mistake? You want me not to believe the doctor and trust you, an amateur? This is ridiculous!"
Katherine didn't explain much, took a few steps towards the end of the bed, and reached out to touch Sophie's injured ankle.
Sophie immediately moved her leg, along with her foot, away to prevent Katherine from touching her!
This movement caused her to break out in a cold sweat from the pain, and she weakly warned, "Don't touch me! Sunny, stop her!"
Sunny snapped out of it and quickly came over to stop Katherine. "Katherine, stop it. Sophie is already miserable like this; isn't that enough for you?"
Katherine had saved him before, and he still owed her a favor. He could understand Katherine's dislike for Sophie, but Sophie was Scarlett's best friend, and Sunny had to protect her for Scarlett's sake.
Katherine looked at Sunny seriously. "Mr. Mitchell, I'm not joking. I really know orthopedic correction. In one minute, I can have Sophie up and running! Give me a chance to make it up to her?"
Sunny was stunned when he met Katherine's clear eyes. He couldn't explain the feeling, but he was inexplicably willing to believe her. After hesitating for a moment, he turned to Sophie and suggested, "Sophie, why don't you let Katherine try? Maybe she really can help!"
Sophie was almost faint with anger. "Sunny! Do you think I'm not miserable enough already?"
Sunny looked troubled. "Sophie, I think..."
Katherine's patience was running out. She raised her hand and pushed Sunny. "Stop wasting time! You hold her down, and I'll do it!"
Sunny was pushed forward a couple of steps, hesitated for a second, and then decided to go for it!
Following Katherine's instructions, Sunny held down Sophie's upper body and legs while Katherine quickly grabbed Sophie's injured ankle.
Then, Sophie's piercing scream broke the silence, incredibly ear-piercing!
Before anyone could stop her, Katherine twisted Sophie's ankle a couple of times and gave it a hard push, finishing the job.
Everyone was shocked and rushed over to check on Sophie!
Katherine calmly stepped aside, took a tissue, and meticulously wiped her hands, cleaning each finger.
Sunny anxiously supported Sophie and urgently asked, "Sophie, how do you feel? Is it any better?"
Sophie, who had almost fainted from the pain, came to her senses, tears streaming down her face, "I... I can't feel my foot! Katherine, do you have to cripple me to be satisfied?"
What? No feeling?
Sunny panicked and glared at Katherine with anger. "Katherine, you lied to me!"
Katherine ignored him, threw the tissue she had just used into the trash, and then took out a black object from her pocket, tossing it accurately onto Sophie!
The crying Sophie was hit by the object and stunned for a moment. She looked down carefully, screamed in terror, and immediately jumped off the bed, hiding behind Sunny. "Sunny, there's a mouse! A mouse! Get it out! Ah!!!"
Sunny was also startled, not by the mouse, but by Sophie suddenly jumping up.
He walked over and picked up the black object on the bed. It was a fake, realistic-looking mouse, quite disgusting!
"Sophie, it's okay, it's fake!" she said.
What kind of hobby did Katherine have, carrying something like this around?
Even when someone was hurt, she was still in the mood for pranks!
Sophie's foot had no feeling, and she still scared her with this!
Wait... Did Sophie get out of bed?
Sunny realized this and looked at Sophie in shock. "Sophie, your... your foot is okay?"
Sophie's face stiffened, and she was stunned herself. She just realized that her foot had touched the ground, and not only that, but she had also jumped up!
Oh no! When she was scared by the fake mouse, Sophie's movement jumping off the bed was too smooth. She couldn't fake it anymore.
The awkwardness and guilt on Sophie's face quickly disappeared, and she then pretended to be pleasantly surprised and smiled, "Really, my foot is really better! This is amazing."
Actually, when Katherine was manipulating her ankle, Sophie was in excruciating pain, but once Katherine was done, it really didn't hurt at all and felt very light.
But how could Sophie let Katherine get the praise from everyone? She deliberately pretended to have no feeling, never expecting Katherine to have this trick up her sleeve, scaring her with a fake mouse.
Sophie lost her composure!
Everyone looked at Katherine in amazement. Even the doctor from the ranch was full of admiration.
To restore her positive image, Sophie thought for a moment, then rushed to Katherine, hugging her excitedly and loudly thanking her, "Katherine, you really know orthopedic correction. You're amazing! Thank you so much! I don't have to worry about my foot and my dancing career anymore!"
After loudly expressing her gratitude, Sophie leaned on Katherine's shoulder and whispered fiercely, "Katherine, you won!"
Katherine smiled and whispered back in her ear, "Just average, dealing with someone like you is a piece of cake."
Sophie gritted her teeth, her fake smile for the others stiffening. "Katherine, don't get too cocky! So what if you got Alex to withdraw his investment from the Jones family? Scarlett just needs to make one call, and Alex will change his mind immediately! It's clear who holds more weight in Alex's heart!"
Katherine replied indifferently, "I know, of course, your best friend is the most important."
Sophie snorted, "As long as you know! So, stop trying to seduce Alex with your useless actions. No matter what you do, it's all in vain! Alex only has Scarlett in his heart. You can't compare to her!"
Katherine was unfazed. "Actually, Ms. Jones, you're the one taking meaningless action. I have no interest in comparing myself to the legendary Scarlett in Alex's heart. But you, to make Alex hate me, you are willing to gamble your career. Luckily, it was just a sprain. If your ligament had really torn today, wouldn't the price be too high?"
Sophie laughed. "For Scarlett's happiness, so what if I gamble my career?"
Katherine couldn't help but admire Sophie. She was despicable, but she was loyal!
She didn't know Scarlett, but she had to admit that Scarlett was lucky to have such a good friend willing to sacrifice herself.
"What are you two girls whispering about?" Hilton asked.
