Chapter 244
Jonah strolled over with a grin on his face, looking at the two of them
Haillie finally let go of Ellinor and turned her face towards Jonah with a smile, “Jonah, I was just
thanking Ellinor for fixing my foot I was so stoked that I just kept hugging.
her.”
As she spoke, Haillie turned to Ellinor with a pretend look of concern, “Ellinor, I didn’t scare you, did 17”
“Nope”
Ellinor was pretty chill about it, dusting off her clothes that got wrinkled during Haillie’s embrace as if
she had just had a fly land on her shoulder
Jonah shifted his gaze to Ellinor, his eyes squinting in a smile, “I can’t believe you can treat sprains at

Haillie was peeved hearing Jonah call Ellinor so casually and even compliment her. She was steaming
inside
Before Ellinor could answer, Haillie cut in, “Jonah, I’m also surprised that Ellinor knows so much at
such a young age, she must have learned it back in the sticks! Country kids know how to fend for
themselves; they’ve got some mad life skills, nothing like us who’ve been pampered from birth!”
On the surface, it sounded like she was praising Ellinor, but the underlying message was a snide
remark about her background
Haillie’s few words seemed to draw a line between Ellinor and the rest of them, alienating Ellinor,
hinting that she was not from their class!
Ellinor took the hint but just shrugged it off with a smirk.
Jonah said, “Haillie, since you’re all better, there’s no need to have the hospital send a car.
He pulled out his phone from his jacket pocket and handed it to Haillie, “The first number on the call log
is the doctor I contacted for you; now you can call him and explain.” Haillie took Jonah’s phone, paused
awkwardly, then forced a smile, “Um, okay, I guess I should call back and explain, I can’t have the
medical staff come all this way for nothing“”
After giving Haillie his phone, Jonah didn’t spare her another glance.
He turned to look at Ellinor, his already smiley eyes twinkling with admiration and curiosity.
He didn’t show a hint of prejudice or ridicule towards Ellinor after Haillie’s remarks.
Jonah naturally walked over to Ellinor and casually draped his arm around her shoulder
“Ellinor. I sprained this wrist a while ago, and it’s never been right since. Seeing as I’m good buddies
with your hubby, could you fix it for me?”

sister.
Ellinor glanced at Jonah, looked down at the arm around her shoulder, then raised an eyebrow at him,
“Are you sure you want me to treat you?”
Jonah met Ellinor’s piercing gaze, immediately withdrew his arm, and said with a smile,
“If you’re genuinely offering to help, I’d be thrilled! But if you’re looking for an excuse to teach me a
lesson, I’ll pass!”
Ellinor smirked, “You’re a smart cookie!”
Jonah chuckled, “If you keep disrespecting me like this, watch out, I might tell Theo to take you home
and spank your butt!”
At the mention of “take you home“, Ellinor thought Jonah was about to say something indescribable,
and her cheeks instantly turned red.
