Chapter 1584

The injury did look a little scary at a glance. "I applied some ointment last night. It was dark in color, which is why the injury looks a little scary." Avery returned the phone to Elliot. "It's not as painful today as it was yesterday." "It is better to be safe and go to the hospital," Elliot insisted. "It's inconvenient for you to apply the ointment yourself at home." "I don't find it inconvenient." She then offered up another random reason, "My mother said that it's bad luck to start the year with a visit to the hospital." Elliot was speechless and so was the doctor. Avery was a doctor too from what they remembered. It came as a surprise that she would say something so superstitious. A sick person ought to visit the hospital as soon as possible, regardless of the occasion. Nevertheless, Elliot did not question her. "Did you bring any medication?" he asked the doctor. The doctor immediately took out the ointment he brought. "Could you treat her swelling please," he said.
