Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 575

The housemaid in the distance saw it happening and, scared half to death, ran to help while shouting for others.

Rosemary was in the middle of a video conference on her phone when she heard a frantic knocking at her door.

May was pounding on the door, "Ms. Rose, Old Mrs. Griffith fell, she’s bleeding! Ms. Rose!!"

Rosemary immediately ended her meeting, opened the door, and as she walked with May, she asked,

"What happened?"

"Serena was pushing her around the garden, but it’s icy out there, too slippery, and the wheelchair skidded."

Rosemary instantly quickened her pace.

The household staff helped Belinda change out of her wet clothes, while Belinda whimpered in pain.

The caregiver rushed to get the first-aid kit, wanting to disinfect and treat Old Mrs. Griffith’s wounds.

As soon as Rosemary walked in, she heard Serena sobbing.

"I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I didn’t take good care of Grandma, I caused her to get hurt. I’m terrible!"

Louisa saw Serena’s clothes soaked with snow, and before she could say anything, Rosemary arrived.

"Rose, quickly check on your grandma. May should have told you the details," Louisa anxiously asked.

Rosemary calmly replied, "May wasn’t there. She wouldn’t know as much as the people directly involved."

What she meant was, she would have Serena herself describe what happened.

Serena’s tears welled up in her eyes, and after a few seconds, she cried again,

"Rosemary, let me explain. I really didn’t mean to."

"Stop crying, Rose is treating her." Sampson patted Serena on the shoulder.

"Go change your clothes first."

"I’m okay, it doesn’t matter. What’s important is Grandma." Serena’s tears still hung on her face, looking pitiful.

Her clothes were cold, her hair was wet, and her body was trembling from the chill.

Rosemary checked the wound on her grandmother’s forehead. Fortunately, it was not severe—no stitches were needed. She simply disinfected the wound and applied medicine, then checked her grandmother’s bones, asking whether this hurt or that hurt.

"How is it, Rose?" Kenneth was somewhat anxious.

"Nothing serious, right?"

"No broken bones." Rosemary then asked the maid,

"Did you notice any other wounds when changing her clothes?"

"There were quite a few." The maid timidly glanced at Serena, then continued,

"The old lady fell face first to the ground and rolled over twice, hitting a decorative rock. So her knees, calves, hands, and other areas are all injured. Here, here, and this spot are also bruised."

Although these were minor injuries, for an elderly person, it was enough to cause pain for several days.

It was fortunate that the slope where she fell was not very long, or the consequences would’ve been unimaginable.

"Grandma, does it hurt here?" Rosemary gently touched her waist.

"It hurts, it hurts so much." Belinda’s tears involuntarily flowed out.

Everyone’s hearts were once again hanging in the balance, fearing that the fall might have caused some serious damage to her waist. They nervously watched Rosemary and the old lady.

"Does it hurt here?" Rosemary touched the left side of her waist.

"It hurts so much." Belinda’s face contorted in pain.

"And what about here?" Rosemary touched her right side.

"It’s unbearable." Belinda, blinking back tears, seemed to be in terrible pain.

"I’ll help you turn over, gently, to have a look."

Belinda was in so much pain she couldn’t move. The caregiver stepped forward to help, but Serena quickly stood up,

"Let me do it! Let me do something for Grandma."

"Your hands are so cold, and you don’t have the medical knowledge like them. If you hurt Grandma again, it wouldn’t be good."

Louisa meant no harm with her words, but to Serena, it sounded like a scolding from her mother. Her heart was filled with guilt and sorrow.

Rosemary and the nurse gently turned Grandma on her side,

"Gentlemen, please turn around."

Kenneth, Sampson, and David immediately turned their backs.

Rosemary gently lifted Grandma’s nightgown, revealing a severely bruised and swollen waist.

"Rose, is this situation really serious?" Louisa couldn’t help but worry.

"It’s a soft tissue injury," Rosemary said, applying an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving cream to Grandma’s waist.

"This cream can reduce inflammation and promote healing. Because Grandma is in severe pain, we will give her an oral painkiller to accelerate circulation and promote the absorption of inflammatory metabolites. It should be alleviated in about 7 to 10 days."

"That long? Isn’t there a quicker way?" Serena hadn’t expected the recovery time to be so long.

Rosemary calmly replied,

"You should be grateful she didn’t break any bones. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be measured in days."

Serena wanted to explain that she didn’t do it on purpose, but a look from David silenced her. She swallowed her words.

After Rosemary had disinfected all of Grandma’s wounds, applied the medicine, and fed her crushed painkillers, she whispered,

"Grandma, rest for a while."

"Rose, stay with me," Belinda whimpered, the pain unbearable.

"I’m here, rest easy. The medicine will start working soon, and you’ll feel better." Rosemary, knowing that the touch of her palm against the wheels caused some discomfort, didn’t hold Grandma’s hand, but leaned in and spoke softly,

"If you feel uncomfortable, tell me at any time."

"It hurts so much." The pain was real for Belinda. At her age, her body was nowhere near as resilient as it had been in her youth.

"You fell, of course it hurts. But fortunately, there are no broken bones, just soft tissue injuries." Rosemary paused, then turned to Sampson,

"It would be best to have someone come and take an X-ray, just to be safe."

"If you say it’s fine, it must be fine." Sampson trusted her medical judgment.

"Let’s check anyway, for everyone’s peace of mind." Rosemary reassured, then turned back to the lady on the bed,

"You rest now. I’ll be right here."

"You better not leave."

"I won’t."

Drowsy from the pain, Belinda soon fell asleep.

Rosemary’s gaze then fell on Serena, making her feel a bit uneasy.

"I just—"

"Lower your voice," Rosemary reminded her.

"Grandma isn’t fully asleep yet."

Serena went on to explain in a softer voice,

"I saw how beautiful the snow outside was, and I wanted to take Grandma out to see it."

"Don’t you know that people who have just woken up should avoid the wind? Especially since Grandma hasn’t fully recovered yet?"

As Rosemary finished, a servant timidly spoke up,

"I warned Serena, but she insisted. Her grandma also indulged her."

"Why didn’t you go with them?" Sampson asked.

"Serena didn’t want me to. She said she wanted to take care of her grandma alone, like Ms. Rose."

All eyes turned to Serena again.

"I just wanted to have a moment alone with Grandma like my sister. If I had known something like this would happen, I would never have let Grandma leave the house."
