Feeling relieved, Kenneth eased the frown on his face.

“It’s good to hear that she’s all right.” Kenneth glanced at Yara. “Yara, since your hand is hurt, there’s no need for you to go to the hospital. You should rest at home instead. Considering that you’ve been training in medicine since you were young, your hands are crucial to your future. Therefore, you have to take good care of yourself and protect your hands better.”

Despite her gloomy expression, Yara nodded with a faint smile. “I’m glad to hear that Ms. Johnson has been saved.”
