Theo took Byran's phone without a second thought and walked out to answer it.
Ellinor tilted her head slightly, watching Theo retreating.
Jonah, who had just stepped out to contact the hospital, slowly walked back in to inform everyone.
"Don't worry, folks. The hospital has already sent an ambulance. Haillie will be receiving treatment shortly."
Byran looked at Haillie with a worried look. "Haillie, did you hear that? Your foot will be treated soon. Everything's going to be okay."
However, Haillie didn't respond.
The on-site doctor pinched Haillie's philtrum to revive her slightly.
Although Haillie woke up, she still appeared weak and hopeless. She said weakly, "My foot is ruined. Why are you even bothering to save me? I'd rather die."
Hearing this, Byran was very concerned. "Haillie, you can't think like that. You and my sister are close friends. If you give up, it'll hurt her too."
Hearing Byran mention his sister, Haillie let out a self-deprecating sigh. "Only Patricia would care about me."
Byran insisted, "Haillie, we all care about you. Isn't that right, Jonah?"
Jonah gave a slight nod, chuckling, "Yeah, Haillie. Keep your chin up, get treated, then find the best physiotherapist when you're healed. We believe you can still be the best ballerina."
Haillie's face brightened with hope as she finally felt comforted. She said gratefully, "I knew Theo still cared about me! Collin, thank him for me. Tell him that we, the Knotts family, won't let him down in next quarter's financial report!"
"All right, I'll relay your message."
After carrying out Mr. Blanchet's orders, Collin turned around, scanning the room. His eyes finally landed on Ellinor standing in the most inconspicuous corner. He respectfully said,"Ellinor, let's go. Mr. Blanchet asked me to take you and Ms. Wesley home first."
Ellinor looked at Collin and asked calmly, "What about him?"
"Mr. Blanchet is still on the phone. Someone asked for his help, so he needs to stay here with Haillie until her injuries are properly treated. He said there's no need for you to wait for him."
Was he still on the phone with Patricia, huh?
