As the saying went, it took a hundred days to recover from a bone injury.

And after a hundred days, the international exercise would have been over long ago.

Moreover, there were many nerve endings in people’s fingers. No one could guarantee Oscar’ssituation after surgery.

Therefore, after some discussion, they thought they could only use the most traditional method, theorthopedic massage to treat Oscar.

The nurse was slightly stunned when she saw Rachel.

Sensing the nurse’s gaze, Rachel turned to look at her and asked, “Is there any problem?”

When the nurse was caught off guard by Rachel’s pure black and white almond-shaped eyes, her heartbeat fast suddenly and her cheeks turned unnaturally blush.

She lowered her head in a panic to hide the shyness in her eyes.

The hospital received a special patient last night. The doctors all said they had no way to cure him.

However, at this moment, Captain Karen said that he had a solution and found an orthopedic massage

expert.

When people heard the word ‘expert’, they would subconsciously associate it with the image ofsomeone over 60 years old with white hair.

But who would have thought that this expert would be an extremely eye-catching woman?

After hesitating for a moment, the nurse explained in a low voice, “I didn’t expect you to be like this.”Rachel raised her eyebrows. Without a word, she pushed open the door of the ward and walked in. Theman’s back was straight and his back was facing the door. He stood in front of the window, thinkingabout something.

From where Rachel stood, it was not difficult for her to see that the man’s right shoulder was drooping.Compared to his left shoulder, his right shoulder was at a different height.

“Mr. Scott, we’ll start treating you now. Please lie back on the bed and cooperate with us,” the youngnurse said gently.

However, Oscar didn’t move as if he did not hear her.

Just as the nurse was about to say something again, Rachel raised her hand and interrupted her. “Ifyou don’t want to lie back on the bed, you can sit on the sofa.”

Her cold tone was like the cold breeze after the rain, making one’s heart tremble slightly.

Oscar’s body trembled slightly. He turned around stiffly. The moment he saw Rachel, he was stunnedon the spot.

His eyes twin kled with a complicated expression, with excitement and joy inside them.

Rachel did not notice the expression on his face. Instead, she walked forward to check on his injuries.

Her fair-skinned fingers pressed on his shoulder with just the right amount of strength. At the sametime, she reached out her other hand to massage his right arm. She massaged it a little and frowned.imperceptibly. “You’ll feel a little pain. Bear with it.”

With a clear cracking sound, Oscar’s shoulder blade returned to its usual height, but his collarbone….

Rachel stretched her palm and massaged his shoulder blade slowly.

The fracture at the collarbone was not something she could improve through the orthopedic massage.

It needed to be secured with steel nails.

However, this would not affect his subsequent movements much.

Just as she took back her hand, Oscar grabbed her wrist.

The temperature on his palm and the soft touch feeling reminded Oscar that everything in front of himwas not an illusion. It had really happened.

After so many years, he finally saw her again!

Compared to the youth in his memory, she was a little more cold and noble. She was like a white roseblooming alone on a lonely night. She could be watched but could not be desecrated.

“Does it hurt?” Rachel looked at Oscar calmly.

Oscar nodded, then quickly shook his head. It made him look like a fool.

The nurse at the side saw the sweat on his forehead and subconsciously thought that he was feelingunwell. She rushed forward to check.

Seeing his ears red, the nurse instantly came to a realization.

So he was shy.

Oscar was an influential figure in the entire military region. Not only did he have excellent trainingresults, but his performance in actual combat was also outstanding.

However, reality proved that no matter how outstanding a person was, they would be shy when theysaw an outstanding beauty.

However, Oscar knew very well that he was not shy, but excited.

He would never forget the shootout he had suffered when he was studying abroad that year.

He could not forget the feeling of a stray bullet entering his abdomen, nor could he forget that she hadrushed in front of him without being afraid of the danger, calmly and decisively pulling him back fromthe edge of death.

At that time, she was wearing a camouflage uniform and had short hair that reached her ears. She was

young

but she did not lose the innate valiant.

After getting out of danger, he tried to replace out more about her. He wanted to thank her for saving hislife. but he couldn’t replace anything.

He had revisited the old place countless times, trying to see that figure again, but she was like agoddess who had descended from the sky when his life was in danger. There had been no news of hersince then as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth.

All these years, he had never forgotten her.

He did not expect to see her there again!

“Your collarbone needs to be fixed with steel nails. Everything else is fine.” As she spoke, Rachel tookback

her hand.

But Oscar’s palm held her wrist tightly.

Rachel frowned slightly and impatience appeared in her eyes. “Let go!”

Realizing that he was being rude, Oscar quickly took his hand back and said, “I’m sorry. I was justexcited. I didn’t mean any harm.”

Rachel did not say anything and prepared to turn around to leave.

“You really don’t remember me?” Oscar hurriedly asked as he watched her leave.

Rachel stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.

Oscar continued, “It’s me. We met in Phareborough five years ago. You saved me back then.”

Rachel looked at him calmly and responded indifferently.

Then, she took her gaze back and turned to walk out.

Chapter 567

The moment she stepped out of the ward door, she was immediately surrounded.

“How’s he?”

“Will it affect his exercise later?”

Questions popped up one after another.

Rachel looked at everyone indifferently and said indifferently. “There’s no problem with his shoulderblade and wrist. His collarbone needs to be fixed with steel nails, but it’s not a big problem.”

Hearing this, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Oscar was a key sharpshooter they had been training for the past two years. If anything happened tohim at this time, they would have to bear the consequences. Fortunately, he was fine.

The expert of modern medicine at the side sneered. “That’s easy to say. It takes a hundred days torecover from a bone injury. If orthopedic massage is really so magical, then why do we still needmodern medicine?”

It sounded like a casual complaint, but his words were filled with prejudice against orthopedic massage.

Rachel narrowed her eyes and glanced at that person. “Since modern medicine is irreplaceable, whydid they go through so much trouble to ask me to come here? Could it be that they did this toembarrass you on purpose?”

That person’s expression suddenly changed. “You’re just in blind luck. It’s not something you can beproud of!”

“Blind luck also requires ability.” An old and deep voice sounded from the other end of the corridor.

Everyone looked over and saw Boyce sitting in a wheelchair. Their expression turned solemn as theycalled out respectfully, “Mr. Hernandez.”

Boyce’s peaceful gaze swept across the people in front of him. After pausing his gaze on Rachel for amoment, he turned to look at the expert of modern medicine. “Orthopedic massage is a skill left behindby our ancestors. It’s not much worse than modern medicine.”
