"Yvonne! Yvonne!" Diana shouted while leaning against the gate.
"What happened to you?" Yolanda walked up when she heard Diana's pained shouts.
When Diana saw her, she rolled her eyes and scolded, "Are you blind? Can't you see that I've twisted my ankle? What are you waiting for? Come and help me up."
Yolanda helped Diana into the villa as Diana groused the entire way.
"I've had bad luck ever since you came home. I bet you're a troublemaker who won't be satisfied until our family has no peace. Why do I even keep you? When you were born, I should have strangled…"
…
"Mom! What happened to you?" Yvonne heard the commotion and rushed down from upstairs.
When she saw Diana limping into the living room while being supported by Yolanda, she quickly approached them and held Diana's other arm.
Yolanda couldn't be bothered to compete with Yvonne for any approval, so she let go and went back to her room.
"I sprained my ankle during my morning run. I didn't have my phone with me, so I forced myself to walk back."
Diana's brow was beaded with cold sweat. Her left ankle was so swollen that she couldn't even put on her slippers.
"Yvonne, bring over a liniment and apply it for me."
She dared not move right now, for every little movement would cause a piercing pain in her ankle.
Somewhat helplessly, Yvonne said, "But we don't have any liniment in our house… I'll tell the housekeeper to get some right now."
At that, she dashed into the kitchen and sent the housekeeper, who was working there, to get some liniment.
"When will the liniment arrive?" Diana would ask every minute afterward. The pain was becoming unbearable to her.
