This woman was squirming and struggling like mad throughout the whole thing.
She was so skinny and frail, yet a bunch of grown-ups had trouble restraining her.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
In the chaos, an elderly woman with swollen, red eyes was crying and apologizing to Erica.
Then, the crowd carried the woman and quickly headed towards the depths of the monastery.
Erica was still in shock.
She paused for a moment, then crouched down to ask Mary, "Did you hurt yourself when you fell?"
Mary had taken a hard fall, she must be in pain.
Knowing Mary, she would definitely say she wasn't.
But...
Seeing Erica's worried face, Mary's nose started to sting and tears fell from her eyes, "It hurts!"
"Are you in a lot of pain? Let's go to the hospital to get you checked out, just in case you broke something!"
Growing as she was, if Mary had injured her tailbone or spine, that'd be a big problem!
"It’s okay!" Mary shook her head, "It's not that bad."
"No way, we're going! My car's parked just outside, it'll be quick!" Erica said, then turned to a familiar nun, "Sister, Mary took a hard fall and I'm worried she might've broken something. I'm taking her to the hospital. If anyone asks, can you let them know?"
After saying goodbye, Erica took Mary to the hospital without hesitation.
After a few hours of hustle and bustle, they were finally done.
"Thank god your bones are fine!" Erica breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Mary, "But the doctor said you're a bit short for your age. I got you some supplements. You need to take them every day, got it?"
