Chapter 21: Getting Hurt
Even if it was to prevent women from pestering him, it should not be to the extent of practicing taekwondo, right?
“Then you’re really thinking too much. Back then, practicing this was just a hobby. Later on, because of work, I also neglected it.”
Kaiden casually fooled her. If he really wanted to tell the truth. He was afraid that he would not be able to argue with them here today.
However, his clean and neat actions just now had attracted Jazmine’s attention. At this moment, she was not even in the mood to continue running on the treadmill.
Running was so boring. Other than being able to burn fat, it did not have any other effect. If…she could learn how to fight, would she not be the only one in the world in the future with such a trait?
Jazmine fantasized about her heroic and valiant future. In an instant, the fire in her heart burned fiercely.
“You’re so good at fighting. Can you teach me a few moves?”
She clasped her hands together and looked at the man in front of her with pleading eyes.
If he dared to refuse, his life in this family would definitely be even more difficult in the future!
“You’re a girl. Why are you learning these things? Besides, you already have bodyguards to learn from when you go out. This is useless.”
Kaiden rejected without thinking.
Moreover, he did not have the habit of teaching others, let alone someone like Jazmine.
How could the delicate young miss endure the hardships of combat?
If she accidentally bumped into something, her skin would definitely be bruised and swollen. By then, she would have to dawdle and stop training for a while.
“It’s very hard to practice combat. Moreover, it’s not something that can be mastered in a short period of time. It’s inevitable to get injured during the process. Why do you have to suffer?”
“I can do it. Besides, it’s because of my special status. If I don’t know anything, what if I run into danger and there’s no one by my side? Then what should I do? Besides…”
Jazmine talked seriously. He was almost going to say that he was useless if he did not teach him.
“I don’t care. At least, we’re living under the same roof now. Just teach me a few moves. In the future, when we go out, I’ll definitely not embarrass you!”
He went up to hold Kaiden’s hand, blinked his big eyes, and looked at him pitifully.
“…”
“Okay, but I can only teach you a few beginner-level moves. As for how you can learn in the future, that’s your own business.”
Helpless, Kaiden could only agree.
“Haha, wait for me. I’ll be back soon!”
Jazmine jumped up excitedly and then ran to change into a taekwondo outfit.
When she came back again, her thin body was wrapped up like a fat dumpling. Alexandra could not help but be speechless and looked at her in surprise.
“Third sister, are you…going to war?”
Jazmine rubbed his fists and said confidently, “This way, I won’t get hurt. Come on!”
The first move was to jump into the air!
Kaiden’s heel touched the ground and his knees bent slightly. He stared at the target closely and then quickly jumped in the air and rotated 180 degrees. His right leg kicked hard onto the sandbag.
“…Wow…”
Jazmine let out a series of exclamations. Then, she walked up to the boxing ring and mimicked Kaiden’s appearance.
“Wait a moment. You should first practice the strength of your knees. If you don’t have enough strength, it’s very likely that you’ll fall.”
Thinking that she was a combat noob, Kaiden reminded her out of goodwill.
Although she usually had the habit of practicing dance, her flexibility was definitely not a problem. However, she probably did not have enough strength in her knees.
“Okay.”
Jazmine did not try to be brave. She followed Kaiden’s instructions and practiced the strength of her knees against the sandbag.
As she continued training, the feeling came to her. The more Jazmine kicked, the more excited she became. The sandbag hanging in the air swayed left and right at an increasingly greater angle.
Her soft body moved left and right along with the swaying of the sandbag. Her sharp eyes stared at the sandbag, looking for the right time. Every kick that she kicked landed accurately on the sandbag’s body.
“That’s great. I think I can already start to try that move!”
“Do you want to practice again?”
Kaiden could not help but remind Jazmine out of kindness, but Jazmine did not take it to heart.
Taking a few steps back, Jazmine looked at the 20-pound sandbag in front of him. She quickly used the momentum to run forward. Then, she leaped into the air and raised her right foot in the air.
“Be careful!”
“Ah!”
With a scream, Jazmine fell heavily to the ground.
Alexandra immediately took off the boxing gloves on her hands and ran over. Jazmine dropped from so high that it hurt from looking at her fall.
“Quick, let me see where you’re hurt?”
She gently helped Jazmine up from the ground. However, she did not dare to touch the other parts of her body rashly.
“It hurts!”
“My ankle hurts!”
Alexandra’s gaze landed on Jazmine’s ankle. However, she realized that there was already a big bump that was swollen red.
“You probably dislocated something or it might just be a big bruise. When you fell from above, your right foot landed first.”
Kaiden, who had seen through everything, looked at Jazmine’s injury. This was because she did not have enough strength to jump and did not control her balance properly. That was why she fell.
“I’ll call the family doctor over now.”
Taking out her phone, Alexandra’s first reaction was to call the family doctor over.
“I’ll do it.”
“You?” Jazmine raised her head and looked at Kaiden suspiciously.
“Don’t worry. Although I’m not a professional doctor, I’ve trained in taekwondo before. I’ve suffered from these injuries before, so I still have some knowledge of how to deal with them.” As he spoke, he took out a bottle of lukewarm oil from the medical kit and poured it into his hand.
A pale yellow liquid was poured out of the glass bottle. A pungent smell filled the air.
He rubbed his palm against the oil to spread it evenly. Then, he gently covered Jazmine’s swollen ankle with it.
“Hiss.”
Jazmine could not help but shrink a little. She leaned against her big sister’s ankle.
“It might hurt a little. I need to dissolve the bruise. Bear with it for a while!”
Glancing at Jazmine, Kaiden tried his best to ease the movement of his hands. He massaged the surroundings gently according to the method in his memory.
The oil had a burning sensation on her skin. Jazmine endured the pungent smell of medicine and the burning sensation on her skin, but her eyes could not help but be attracted by Kaiden’s serious expression.
Most importantly, after this massage, she could more at ease.
“When you’re recovering, don’t wear high heels anymore. Also, pay more attention when you walk. Right now, your ankle is still very fragile. You need to pay more attention during normal times.”
“As the ancient saying goes, the injured tendons and bones move for 100 days. Although this is only a slight dislocation, you can’t let your guard down.”
As he spoke, Kaiden took some active oil from his palm and continued to apply it to Jazmine’s ankle.
“That…thank you.”
Jazmine felt a little unnatural and her ankle could not help but tremble.
“Did I hurt you?”
Kaiden raised his head to look at Jazmine. The sudden exchange of gazes made Jazmine momentarily stunned.
“No…no, I was just a little too nervous, that’s why…”
“Oh, you don’t have to worry too much. You’ll be fine in a week or two.”
Kaiden did not think much of it and continued to lower his head to continue the massage.
