Sabrina turned around and she saw Isadora suddenly falling to the ground and was craddling her foot with both her hands. Malvolio immediately ran over to support Isadora. "Isadora, what's the matter? Is your foot hurting again? What's the matter, Isadora?"
Isadora cried in pain. "Malvolio, I don't know why but my foot is suddenly having terribly sharp pain."
"Sit down and let me have a look," said Malvolio. Isadora sat on the ground and Malvolio took off Isadora's shoe. Only then did he see that pus was oozing out of the sole of Isadora's foot.
"It was still fine just now. What happened?" Malvolio looked at Isadora with confusion.
Isadora hung her head and looked at the floor. She was focused on keeping her eye on Holden just now that she accidentally stepped on a sharp pebble, and that pebble happened to poked on that ulcer that she had on the sole of her foot. Therefore, the pus filled ulcer that she had for many days was cut open. The pus kept flowing out of that ulcer, Isadora sat on the ground in pain and was unable to get up at all. She already did not dare to walk with her feet anymore.
"Let's go! I'll take you to a doctor!" Malvolio could not b e bothered with Sabrina anymore at that moment. He just wanted to carry her sister on his back to have her foot checked out.
"Malvolio!" Isadora did not move. She looked helplessly at Malvolio. "Malvolio! I have been a burden to you. You have already done your best. It's not like you haven't searched for a doctor abroad for me. The problem with my foot will relapse once this time every year. I think I might as well just have this foot amputated!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Malvolio said angrily. "No matter what, you still have a foot!
Although it will develop an ulcer every year, it's still better than having no foot, right? That ship has the best doctors that Holden had brought from South City now. Let's go to them and have them check it out!"
Isadora smiled miserably again. "Malvolio, those are gynecologists. They won't be able to treat my foot."
