Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism
Chapter 267 Alex's Mom Is Coming Soon

With a fearless look, Alex was causing trouble nearby, attempting to snatch the pen from the medical staff's table without grasping the seriousness of the situation. The medical staff also found him annoying and promptly stowed the pen into her coat pocket.

Alex grimaced at the medical staff and dashed over to seize the pen. When he failed, he inexplicably began yelling.

"Ah-"

His sharp, awful yell made several people in the infirmary frown.

This troublemaker was rude and unreasonable. He should understand something by the age of seven or eight. How did he develop such behavior?

Faced with Alex's persistent yelling, the medical staff had no choice but to give him the pen, finally silencing him.

Outside, the nanny was on the phone, recounting the incident to her employer.

Alex's mother was in a cheerful mood while playing poker and didn't bother to deal with the incident. She remarked, "What happened? Broken bones? Hmph, she must be trying to pull a scam! It's so unlucky to have this happen during the New Year. Don't worry. Just take my son and leave."

The nanny felt troubled, explaining, "I can't, madam. They won't let me go. They're blaming Mr. Alex and insisting on letting me take responsibility."

Alex's mother frowned when she heard that. It happened that another player won the game and smiled broadly.

As she lost money again, she became angry and pushed the cards away.

What bad luck!

"They won't let you leave? Just wait there. I'm coming over right now! I'd like to see who dares to defraud me. Since they've offended me, I won't let them go!"

Grabbing her bag, she stood up, paid the money, and prepared to leave.

"Hey! Why are you leaving so soon? Not up for more games? Could it be that you can't afford to lose?" someone quipped.

"More games? Someone defrauded my son at the ski resort! I'm heading over there to see who that b*tch is!"

After making the call, the nanny returned confidently, stating, "You guys wait here. Madam will be here shortly!"

"Wait?" Zoren remarked, "We need to get to the hospital now. We won't wait for anyone."

The nanny exclaimed, "You guys can't leave! Weren't you threatening us to take responsibility? Why do you want to leave while Madam is coming? Are you scared, huh?" Violeta needed immediate hospitalization for an X-ray.

While the nanny was on the phone, Niall had already arranged for a car to come fetch them up.

They didn't have time to wait for the nanny's employer.

What if her employer didn't show up? They couldn't leave Violeta in pain here!

Liam suggested, "Niall, take Vio to the hospital first. Jasper and I will stay here."

Zoren couldn't tolerate the nanny's attitude, especially that unruly child!

He really wanted to kick Alex away!

"I'm staying too. Niall, take Vio to the hospital. I'd like to know who raised this bad-mannered brat!"

"Okay."

Niall agreed to take Violeta away first.

Zoren and two others stayed behind with the nanny and Alex.

At first, the nanny was reluctant to let them take Violeta away, claiming that they were defrauding her.

Perhaps those men looked too terrifying as if they were about to hit her. She finally gave up blocking Violeta.

"Hmph, I'm not easily scared. Do you think I'm afraid? Even if this matter is exposed, it has nothing to do with us! Since you insist on making a fuss, we won't back down either! When Madam arrives, none of you will be allowed to come to the ski resort again! We have connections!"

While smoking, Zoren chuckled at her words.

"Are you out of your mind? It's good if you have connections. Otherwise, you wouldn't be qualified to negotiate with us." Despite their rage, they wouldn't know how to hold them responsible if they were only an ordinary woman and child.

They might forgive them if they had a soft attitude, but they weren't afraid of the tough ones.

It was truly a 'blessing' for her employer to have such a haughty nanny.

However, they might have regretted their actions if they had foreseen the consequences sooner.

Violeta underwent an X-ray when she arrived at the hospital.

Thankfully, it wasn't the worst outcome.

She only had a minor fracture in her ankle that didn't require a plaster.

After the doctor skillfully realigned her bone and prescribed medication, she would be fine after resting.

However, it would take at least two months for her ankle to recuperate from a fracture.

Violeta appeared to be unable to go anywhere during this winter vacation and could only rest at home.

Elaine remarked, "Vio, it's a relief that

you don't need a plaster. It's also

nice to be at home. You can watch dramas or sleep. I've experienced a bone fracture too. Don't worry. As long as you recover well, there shouldn't be any lasting effects.

Violeta nodded. "Hmm."

She wasn't concerned about any lasting effects.

She was only a little disappointed that she might miss her audition for the Blind Detective.

She had intended to finish the New

Year celebrations and head to

attend the audition. However, this unexpected incident meant she would have to rest for a long time. Would this cause her to lose the opportunity for the role?
