"Your leg is fine," Jason said with a smile as he examined her. "It's swollen because the rock you fell on hit a nerve, causing the surrounding muscles to swell. And as for the bruises, they are superficial …" He paused, letting his gaze flick briefly toward Jacob, "and already well taken care of. They will heal before you even notice."
Jacob caught the suggestive tone in Jason's voice but gave no reaction. He simply stood there, hands tucked into his pockets, his expression still cold and unreadable.
Gianna rolled her eyes. "They will definitely heal, but I am sure they will leave a scar for life. Isn't that enough reason to file a complaint against him?"
If Jacob had shown even an ounce of sympathy, she wouldn't have been so persistent —wouldn't have gone this far in threatening legal action. But his unwavering coldness only provoked her further. She wasn't the type to back down easily. He had challenged her pride —and she intended to return the favor.
