Chapter 1373


    His lips had turned a pallid shade of blue from the cold, and all he wanted was to hurry back to the


    main house.


    Just then, the sky began to drop its snowy payload, a blizzard of kes whisking through the air with


    each gust of the biting wind.


    The snow fell with such intensity, as if the heavens were furiously sowing seeds in a relentless barrage.


    “Snowing, huh?” Serena couldn''t believe their luck, grasping her grandfather''s hand with a tinge of


    regret.


    "Guess we''ll have to take our walk some other time."


    Darren was of the same mind, silently relieved at the prospect of returning indoors.


    A servant not far off raised their phone, aiming to capture a snapshot or two of the scene.


    Seized by a sudden inspiration, Serena thought if she were to break into a gentle run with her


    grandfather, the visual would be absolutely charming!


    Yet, as she took her first strides, her feet d in slippers betrayed her on the slippery ground.


    Because she was holding onto her grandfather, both of therm tumbled to the ground in a heap.


    The servant, who had just captured the moment, rushed over in rm to offer assistance.


    The snowy conditions had made the ground treacherously slick, and the domestic footwear that Serena


    and Darren donned offered no traction, ensuring their spill.


    "Grandpa, are you alright?” Serena, less concerned for herself, saw her grandfather''s pained


    expression and quickly offered her support, "Let me help you up."


    “Serena, don''t move him!" The servant shouted from a distance, "Let me do it!"


    Serena felt a sting of irritation. How dare a servant stop her? Was he trying to steal the limelight?


    "Mr. Darren''s fallen and we can''t just yank him up willy-nilly. If he''s hurt, it could make things worse;’


    said the servant, crouching down to Darren and asking gently, "Sir, do you feel dizzy at all? Any


    nausea?"


    Serena was already annoyed from being shouted at, and hearing the servant ask seemingly trivial


    questions only fueled her anger.


    “What are you on about at a time like this? Grandpa''s still sitting on the cold, wet ground, and with the


    snowing down like this, if you won''t help me, at least hurry up and help him up!” Serena took the


    opportunity to settle her earlier grievance.


    But the servant didn''t arque with her, instead patiently exining, "Serena, please, I''m just trying to see


    if he''s hit his head and if he''s still lucid."


    After this, the servant turned back to Darren and asked in a soft tone, "Sir, can you move your limbs?"


    If he couldn''t move his hands or feet, it might indicate a fracture. Trying to stand up in such a case


    could lead to bone discement and cause secondary injuries.


    “lL can move. it''s just that my back hurts something fierce."


    Darren hadnded squarely on his back when he fell, and now the pain was so intense he could hardly


    move.


    Serena, still feeling guilty for a past incident that had led to her grandmother getting hurt, was now


    worried about what her uncle and aunt might say once they found out. She didn’t want to tarnish her


    image in their eyes.


    “Grandpa, let me rub it for you!"


    No sooner had Serena started to rub Darren''s back than she heard his pained cries.


    “Serena, you can''t rub it!" the servant interjected urgently, "Rubbing like that after a fall can worsen the


    injury, lead to swelling, and even misalignment."


    Serena hadn''t realized there were so manyplications to consider, "Then what are we supposed to


    do?"
