"Not lightly injured, Ruth. You won't be able to walk for the next couple of days and will need someone to take care of you!"
Ruth's eyes lit up, Johan Niles sure knew the right thing to say!
"Major, I don't have any family or friends here. You take care of me!"
"I don't have the time!"
Lucas Chambers rejected her without a second thought. He was under crazy pressure with his superiors pressing him; he couldn't possibly take care of a little girl.
He got up to leave, and Ruth suddenly lunged forward to hug his leg, "Ouch, my foot hurts so much!"
"Aren't there doctors? There's no use finding me!"
"Doctors can't take care of my daily life!"
Ruth clung to Lucas Chambers' leg, refusing to let go, while desperately signaling to Johan Niles.
Johan Niles couldn't be happier that Ruth was pestering Lucas and immediately chimed in, "Her foot is sprained. You'd better apply ice at home and don't let her walk for the next few days. Carry her, it'll be fine!"
