However, as soon as the young girl moved, she cried out in pain, indicating she was hurt somewhere. Noticing this, Aveline hesitated to touch her further and instead asked, "Where does it hurt?" Tears welled up in the girl's eyes as she looked at her only arm and replied, "My arm... it hurts so much..." When she had fallen earlier, she instinctively tried to support herself with her arm, and a sharp pain shot through it. Aveline glanced at her arm and saw a protrusion. It was clearly a fracture! She immediately called for an ambulance.
"Don't move. I've called an ambulance; it will be here soon," Aveline reassured her gently, trying to calm her down.

Aveline stood nearby, holding the books, her brows slightly furrowed.
She glanced at the time; over an hour had passed.
But now, leaving the girl here was something she simply couldn't bring herself to do.
The girl's broken arm was her responsibility.
She had to see it through to the end.

"How is she?" Aveline asked the doctor.

Looking at the girl, Aveline's gaze softened with sympathy.
She went ahead and paid the hospitalization fee. When she returned to the ward, she saw the girl still looking at her.
Aveline gave her a gentle smile and asked, "Hey, do you know your family's phone number? Should I call your mom or dad to cover?" In situations like this, it was always better to have a parent around.

"Please don't call them... Please, don't," she pleaded.
Seeing her reaction, Aveline quickly nodded. "Alright, I won't. But what's your name?" With a trembling voice, the girl replied, "I'm Annie Hunt."
Aveline nodded. "Nice to meet you, Annie. I'm Aveline. Since you don't want your parents to come, Ptake antst care of you until your arm heals." But Annie shook her head. "No, that's not possible. I need to go to school. I still have to work."
Aveline's expression turned serious. "But your arm is fractured. You can't go to school like this. I'll talk to your teacher about getting you stoff. And you can't work either, you can't do anything with your arm like this. The only thing you need to do is focus on recovering. Don't worry about anything else."

Annie remained anxious and uneasy but didn't argue further.
Aveline continued, "Rest for now. I'll arrange for a caregiver. Someone will be with you around the clock, and I'll N cby every day." Annie gave a faint nod. As Aveline left the ward, her phone rang. It was a call from Lucas.
