Chapter 668 The Pain Will Last for Three or Four Days
Williams quickly grabbed the phone and inquired, “What caused Diane’s sudden heart attack? We were unaware of any
preexisting heart condition... Has she undergone a medical examination? When will the results be available? Well, as long as
she’s okay...”
Eloise snatched the phone back, saying, “What is Isa up to now? Okay then, let’s not disturb her...”
After ending the call, Eloise felt a wave of weakness wash over her. “I never expected Isa to go through such a dangerous
situation last night and not inform us...”
“Isa has always shared her joys but kept her worries to herself. She’s so considerate...” Williams couldn’t help but comment.
Not too long ago, there was a news report about a helicopter pilot who had a heart attack and lost consciousness shortly after
taking off from Plumer. Fortunately, a female passenger on board managed to regain control of the aircraft. When I came across
that news, I couldn’t help but wonder how a pilot with a heart condition could operate an aircraft.”
“Diane had always been healthy, so there shouldn’t be any underlying health issues...” Eloise recalled similar news stories she
had come across.
There was a case of a Russian airline pilot who had a heart attack during a flight but successfully made an emergency landing
before passing away...
There was also the incident involving a Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight from Muscat to Dhaka, where the captain had a heart
attack mid-flight, and despite efforts to resuscitate him, he ultimately succumbed...
Even in an American airline, there was a similar incident involving a pilot
Eloise shivered in fear. “Thank goodness Isa managed to land safely and even saved Diane...”
“Isa is truly exceptional.”
Hidden nearby, Cecilia couldn’t fathom how Isabella knew to fly a plane. Anger surged through her as she clenched her fists.
Where did Isabella acquire such skills?
She seemed like she knew everything.
Could it be that Isabella was a time traveler?
“Cecilia, miss?”
At that moment, a servant arrived with breakfast for Williams, noticing Cecilia standing near the door, seemingly eavesdropping
on her parents’ conversation.
Williams and Eloise turned their heads towards the sound. Cecilia quickly composed herself. “Good morning, Dad, Mom.”
“Good morning, Cecilia,” Williams greeted her as always.
However, Eloise still appeared angry and only managed a slight acknowledgment, offering a simple “morning” without much
warmth. Cecilia felt uneasy. Eloise used to be different!
Eloise was still upset about the Scarlet incident.
Since Isabella wasn’t home these days, it presented an excellent opportunity for Cecilia to get closer to her parents!
Cecilia recalled how Isabella used to massage Eloise’s shoulders, and a sudden idea struck her. “Mom, I apologize for upsetting
you last night. I’m sure you didn’t sleep well, did you? Let me give you a massage...”
“No need.” Eloise hadn’t fully recovered from the shock of Isabella flying a plane, but a pair of delicate and gentle hands landed
on her shoulders, offering a soothing massage.
“Mom, is the pressure okay?”
“You should go have breakfast.”
“Mom, is my massage uncomfortable? I know I can’t massage as well as Isabella, but I can learn.”
Eloise didn’t expect Cecilia to overthink. “I asked you to eat first because I was worried you might be hungry after crying last
night.
“Mom, you still care about me, right? Last night, I was confused. I only thought about all the good things Scarlet did for me from
childhood to adulthood, but I forgot about the immense harm she caused Isabella...” Cecilia spoke while massaging. “I’m sorry
for acting impulsively last night and troubling you, Mom.”
“It’s good that you can see it that way.
Cecilia felt overjoyed and accidentally applied more pressure with her massage.
“Ouch...” Eloise suddenly exclaimed in pain.
Williams quickly set down his spoon and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It feels like you hit a sensitive nerve...” Eloise felt the pain and urgently gestured for Cecilia to stop.
“Is it here? Or here...” Williams lightly touched her, but Eloise cried out in pain.
The Pain Will Last for Three or Four Days
“How did this happen? Cecilia, where did you learn this massage technique?” Williams asked anxiously
“I... I’ve never learned... I was just improvising,” Cecilia panicked. “Mom, did I massage you incorrectly? Should I call a doctor
for you...”
“No need. It would be best if you had your breakfast first. Williams, please call Dr. Garcia,” Eloise responded, not expecting the
sudden pain. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stood up.
This sensation was even worse than waking up with a stiff neck...
Williams supported Eloise as they made their way out, and he placed a call to Dr. Garcia...
Cecilia didn’t anticipate that her well-intentioned actions would result in a mistake. She followed them, saying, “Mom, let me help
you... Please have a seat on the sofa for a moment. Dr. Garcia will be here soon...”
Witnessing Cecilia’s genuine concern, Eloise didn’t scold her. Instead, she comforted her, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine...”
“You didn’t even have your breakfast just now.” Cecilia expressed guiltily. “Let me pour you a glass of water...”
Cecilia hurried to fetch the water but accidentally tripped over a stool, causing the water in her hands to splash towards Eloise.
In an instant, Williams swiftly positioned himself in front of Eloise, and the glass of water splashed onto his clothes, splattering
onto Eloise’s face as well.
Cecilia didn’t anticipate making yet another mistake despite her good intentions. She quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Dad, Mom. It
was unintentional...”
Cecilia hastily grabbed some tissues, intending to wipe Eloise’s face, but her haste caused Eloise to feel pain in her shoulder
and neck with every movement. “Cecilia, Cecilia, go and have your breakfast first. I’ll take care of it myself.”
“Eloise, are you alright? Let me accompany you to change your clothes,” Williams gently pressed the damp spots on her face
and then assisted her in going upstairs.
Cecilia watched her parents leave, feeling a sense of unease in her heart.
Why couldn’t Cecilia portray herself in a favorable light before them, even when she genuinely wanted to?
Why did Isabella always receive praise no matter what she did...
Cecilia instinctively clenched her fists, longing to go upstairs but afraid her parents would find fault with her...
Only when Dr. Garcia arrived did Cecilia have a reason to accompany him upstairs and express concern for Eloise.
During Dr. Garcia’s examination, he discovered that Cecilia’s massage had caused the pain in Eloise’s shoulders and neck. He
felt somewhat at a loss for words.
“Miss Cecilia, Miss Isabella possesses medical knowledge and a specific massage technique. She knows which muscles and
nerves correspond to each position...” Dr. Garcia explained. It wasn’t merely random pressing. If something goes wrong, it’s not
as simple as a few moments of pain...
Upon hearing Dr. Garcia’s words, Cecilia felt even more uncomfortable in her heart.
On the other hand, Williams spoke affectionately, saying, “Cecilia had good intentions. Just like Isa, you wanted to do something
for us, but the method wasn’t quite right... Dr. Garcia, is Eloise going to be okay?”
“There’s no major issue, but she will experience pain for three or four days. I will give you an ointment to apply to the painful
areas thrice daily.
The Pain Will Last for Three or Four Days
After three days, the symptoms should significantly improve.”
“Alright, thank you, Dr. Garcia...”
Upon hearing that she would endure pain for three or four days, Eloise suddenly felt overwhelmed, and tears welled up in her
eyes...
