He walked over and picked up that black lump on the bed; it turned out it was a fake, realistic-looking rat. "Haillie, chillax! It's just a toy rat!"
What's up with Ellinor's weird hobby, carrying this thing around?
She's got the nerve to prank at a time like this!
Haillie's leg was out of commission, and she was still trying to scare her!
Wait a sec, Haillie was out of bed?
Byran caught on, surprisedly looking at Haillie, "Haillie, your leg's all good?"
Haillie's face froze, and she stood there dumbfounded. Only then did she realize she could stand; she even jumped up.
Oh crap, her quick leap off the bed after being scared by the fake rat was a dead giveaway. There's no way she can keep pretending now...
Haillie quickly covered up her embarrassment and put on a surprised face, "Oh my gosh, my leg's really better! This is so surreal..."
When Ellinor was messing with her ankle, it hurt like hell. But after Ellinor was done, her leg felt pain-free and light as a feather.
But there was no way she would let Ellinor get all the glory, so she pretended she didn't feel a thing. Little did she know Ellinor would scare her with a toy rat.
She blew her cover!
