201 Chapter 201: You Have Magic Hands (1/2)
Kylie took her father's chart off of the door and quickly scanned it. If Laurence was out of danger, she saw no reason to stay. What she saw, though, gave her a bit of a start. Laurence's blood was Type AB, which was very rare. Thus it was also very expensive.
Khloe looked at Kylie and said, ”You should know that, once daddy is a little better, I am going to go to the police and have you charged with attempted manslaughter. I still think you should kill yourself but, if that doesn't suit you, you might want to drain your accounts and split.”
Kylie chuckled and said, ”Dear sister, you are just too funny. You didn't use your brain,”
”You...You will pay for this!” Khloe screamed, but Kylie had left her already.

As soon as Kylie entered the house, she smelled a pleasant odor. She called out to Lucy and asked what the smell was. Instead of yelling, Lucy met her in the living room and explained that Stephen and Cecil were cooking. Lucy looked Kylie over and asked her what was wrong with her leg.
”It is nothing,” she replied, ”so please don't mention anything about it to Ethan.”
Little did she know; Stephen was within earshot of where they were standing. He casually walked into the room and said, ”What's the big secret?”
”Nothing,” Kylie replied as she stepped behind the couch so that he couldn't see her leg. ”Apparently, in the future, I will have to be more conscientious about what I say and about who might be listening.”
”Don't worry,” Stephen sighed. ”Your secret is safe with me. Now show me where it hurts. Perhaps I might be able to help somehow.”
Kylie walked around the couch so that Stephen could see her ankle. He looked at her and asked her what had happened. Kylie explained how Khloe had smashed a potted plant on the ground and, like shrapnel, a large chunk had flown through the air and embedded itself into her leg. Stephen looked closer and said, ”I can treat this if you let me, and I can make it impossible for Ethan to see.”
Lucy fetched the medicine bag from the bathroom and opened it for Stephen. Before he did anything, though, he said, ”This will help a lot, but it will also hurt a lot as I treat the wound. Try not to scream, though. It will make me anxious.”
Stephen cleaned the wound first, with cotton balls, hydrogen peroxide, and then with an antiseptic cream.
Once Stephen was done treating her leg, Kylie couldn't believe what a good job he'd done. Kylie said that it barely hurt, and he had actually succeeded in making it invisible. ”You have magic hands,” she gasped. ”You should be a famous surgeon!”
”Not really,” Stephen laughed. ”This was nothing. Forget about it. Supper is done. ”Cecil and I made steak, spaghetti, Pan-fried salmon, potatoes, and shrimp. Let's eat before it gets cold.”
Ethan walked into the dining room. He bowed to kiss Kylie's forehead and said, ”Yes, let's eat.”
Kylie looked at the food and then up at Ethan. With a shy smile, she said, ”I am afraid that I will soon be fat if Stephen and Cecil continue to cook for us. Their cooking is so good that I have a very hard time stopping myself from eating.”
