Heather wondered if this was a stage she had to overcome to increase her kickboxing skills. She could not tell if this was good or bad, and she could not even walk properly.
Chump rushed over to help her and led her to sit on the sofa, saying, “Let me get the family doctor over to check on you, Ms. Riggs!”
“No, it’s fine. This isn't something the doctor can fix." Heather knew whatever was wrong with her was not a medical condition.
This was due to her learning kickboxing techniques from the secret handbook, which a doctor would not know how to treat. She needed to depend on herself to balance out the different energies in her body.
“I need to sit down and balance my inner energy. Stay here and guard me," she said sternly, crossing her legs on the sofa.
Chump nodded as he stepped forward, then remembered something and turned to ask Heather, “Should I ask them to send the car back since we’ll no longer be leaving?”
Heather finally remembered what she was supposed to do. Her dazed mind had made her forget momentarily. She thought for a moment before deciding, “No, we’ll leave as usual!”
“But you’re still…”
“Go get Hannah. Tell her to dress up and go in my place, just like we did last time,” she instructed.
Even though she wanted to see how the conflict would unfold, she was more interested in trading blows with Alexander to assess the gap between them. However, her current condition would not allow her to do so. It would be meaningless since she could not fight him, so it was best to stay back.
Moreover, she had told Ralph that she would turn up. Although she could have easily changed her mind, it was an excellent chance to allow Hannah to see him. It was to ensure that her absence did not cause any extra trouble and to see if Hannah was loyal to her.
