Chapter 571: Grace likes Charlotte

Charlotte was in so much pain that she couldn't even speak. She just instinctively pointed at her ankle, which was starting to reddish and swell slowly.

Justin Battleson's face darkened slightly. He freed up one hand to gently touch Charlotte's ankle.

The cool touch against her blazingly painful ankle caused Charlotte to reflexively withdraw her foot, which lead to another bout of pain.

"Don't move," Justin Battleson instructed, looking at her ankle in the light from a street lamp. It was slightly red and swollen, and his gaze deepened. "It's okay, some medicated wine should help."

He looked at her and softly asked, "Can you stand?"

Upon hearing this, Charlotte hesitated for a moment. However, seconds later, she nodded firmly and answered, "I can."

Once Charlotte finished speaking, Justin understood and aided her to stand. Charlotte bore the pain and leaned heavily on Justin, then limped to sit down on a cool bench under the apartment building.
