Her Graceful War Song novel Chapter 266

Sebastian was reflecting on the anguished cry Ryan had just let out. It seemed that the pain had quite an effect on Ryan’s vocal cords, but for Sebastian, the sound was like music to his ears.

Rowan was capable of performing tasks such as setting bones. However, Sebastian valued Ryan too much to leave it to anyone else. He preferred to handle it personally.

To him, this was a skill deeply ingrained in his bones. He carefully felt along Ryan’s leg, inch by inch, until he reached the misaligned section. With great precision, he adjusted the bone.

Ryan was drenched in sweat from the pain, his body trembling uncontrollably. He gripped Rafael’s wrist tightly, his nails digging in and drawing blood.

The pain from setting the bone was excruciatingly real.

The pain–relief medicine didn’t seem to help much, and he felt as though the pain was radiating throughout his entire body, even though the injury was in his leg.

Once the bone was set, Sebastian began applying the medicine. Two wooden splints were used to stabilize Ryan’s leg, and he would need to remain bedridden until the bone healed.

Sebastian’s medicated plaster, a formula he had personally developed, was highly effective. It wasn’t available at other pharmacies, and it worked well to speed up bone healing. With the added benefit of the medicinal soup, Ryan should be able to walk again in about ten days.

After securing the splints, Ryan was given another dose of painkiller, which also had calming and sleep- inducing properties to help him rest. This would hopefully ease the pain when he woke up.

Outside, those waiting heard Ryan’s agonized scream, which left everyone feeling anxious and troubled. Hearing such a cry made it clear just how intense the pain was.

Carissa paced nervously, awaiting the door to open. Diana clasped her hands together, trembling as she prayed silently.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the door opened.

Rafael stepped out first.

Carissa hurried inside to find Ryan lying on the bed, with Rowan administering acupuncture to alleviate some of the pain and help him fall asleep.

Sebastian gave a soft shushing sound, and said quietly “We should leave and let him sleep. He’s a brave and resilient child.”

Carissa was gently ushered out again. No one else could visit to avoid disturbing Ryan. If he couldn’t fall asleep, he would have to endure the pain as best he could.

Carissa noticed that Rafael’s hand was covered in blood, clearly from where Ryan’s nails had dug in.

strong. He endured it all. We didn’t use acupoint sealing for pain relief, so there’s no effect on the blood flow in his leg. Once he’s healed, he’ll be fully recovered.”
