No More Layovers for a Love That Won't Land novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88

Her ankle hurt, likely twisted in the fall.

Seeing Johnny’s concern, Freya felt a warmth in her heart, but also a pang of sadness.

She noticed the looks from the others around her.

She knew they probably thought she had deliberately thrown herself into Matteo’s arms.

Even now that she had injured herself, they probably thought she deserved it.

As for Matteo…

He hadn’t even bothered to steady her, let alone ask if she was okay when she fell.

The only one truly concerned for her was Johnny.

“Should I take a look at it for you?”

“No need…”

There were so many people around…

Johnny ignored her refusal. Without a second thought, he picked her up and carried her away from the crowd, setting her down and removing her high heels.

He gently lifted her leg, noticing that her ankle was indeed swollen. He instructed the waiter to call for a doctor and to buy her a pair

of flats.

Seeing how Johnny was so unreserved in caring for Freya, many people around them were taken aback. Some were even surprised

At that moment, many began to reconsider their previous assumptions. Maybe Freya hadn’t been deliberately throwing herself into

Matteo’s arms after all.

In fact, it seemed like Freya and Johnny had quite a good relationship.

Raven bit her lip and looked away, then her gaze shifted toward Matteo.

.Matteo noticed the closeness between Freya and Johnny, but he continued chatting casually with the others, seemingly indifferent to

their interaction.

Seeing his lack of reaction to their intimate exchange, Raven’s lips, which had been pursed, relaxed into a smile.

She resumed chatting with others, no longer paying attention to Freya and the situation.

Not long after, the backup doctor from the restaurant arrived. After examining Freya, the doctor prescribed some ointment for her injury. Once the doctor left, Johnny began applying the medicine.

Freya wanted to do it herself, but Johnny shot her a look, so she raised her hands in surrender and let him take over.

After applying the ointment, Johnny waited a moment before a waiter returned with a pair of flat shoes. Freya tried them on and said, “It’s fine, I can walk.”

She turned down the offer without hesitation. There was a brief silence on the other end.

“Mr. Becker?”

“Alright, I’ll send you the contact information for the repair shop in a moment.”

“Thank you.”

Harry hung up without saying more.

Given her current injury, Freya knew she couldn’t pick up the car herself. After a moment’s thought, she decided to ask Johnny for

help.

Johnny agreed to drive it back for her once he finished his tasks.

That evening, after ordering takeout, Freya had just finished eating when she received a call from Isabella, asking when she would

be home.

Freya replied directly, “I sprained my foot and can’t walk well. I’m resting outside, so I won’t be going home. You should rest early.”

Isabella was immediately concerned, “What? Mom, your foot is injured? Is it serious? Does it hurt?”

“It hurts, but it’s not severe. It’ll get better in a few days.”
