Transmigrated as the Villain Boss's Precious Darling-Chapter 161: Clayton Xavier Shows His Skill

Jim Thorne followed Melanie to the Xavier family’s home. It was a large brick house with a tiled roof, its walls painted a stark white. It even had glass windows—a rarity in the countryside at the time. The Xavier family’s house was built so well it wouldn’t look dated even decades from now.

It had been constructed with high-quality materials before the Liberation; the cement, rebar, and other components were all top-notch. The flooring was also ingeniously designed. While it looked ordinary on the surface, there was more to it than met the eye.

The first floor of the Xavier family’s house never felt damp, even during the rainy season; the floor remained dry. It was cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This was because the space beneath the floor had been hollowed out and layered with special moisture-proofing materials. Only an extremely wealthy family would install such a labor-intensive and expensive floor, but the results were truly excellent. You wouldn’t catch a cold even if you slept on the floor in winter.

Verna Golding was in the courtyard airing out quilts when she was startled by Jim Thorne, who rushed in frantically. She only breathed a sigh of relief when Melanie ran in, panting, right after him. Verna recognized Melanie.

"Verna, please, ask the old madam to take a look at the little girl’s hand! I don’t know if it’s broken."

"Ma’am, please help. My little sister is dying from the pain."

Jim Thorne was so anxious he was on the verge of tears. His little sister had never suffered like this before. His parents had told him to look after her before school started, and now this had happened. ’If her hand is really broken, I’ll break every one of Phoenix Golding’s limbs. I won’t leave a single one.’

"Come inside, quickly. Try not to panic!"

Verna Golding shouted into the house, "Clayton, come out and take a look!"

Tang Xiaonan dazedly saw a tall, graceful young man walk out. It was Clayton Xavier, whom she had only recently met. ’Wow, the author didn’t exaggerate at all when describing the male lead. He’s so handsome—the very picture of a gentleman carved from jade.’

’But does Clayton Xavier know anything about medicine? The book never mentioned it.’

Clayton Xavier saw Jim Thorne first and paused, surprised. Then he saw the unconscious Tang Xiaonan in his arms, and his expression turned serious. He strode over to Jim Thorne. "What happened?"

"Her arm’s broken. Can you fix it?"

Jim Thorne carefully lifted Tang Xiaonan’s right hand. Her wrist was still bent at an unnatural angle.

"Let me see."

Clayton Xavier supported her wrist and gently felt it. The pain woke Tang Xiaonan up, and tears streamed down her face. "It hurts... Jim... It hurts so much..."

Jim Thorne grew frantic and yelled at Clayton Xavier, "Be gentle!"

Clayton Xavier just smiled. "It’s not broken. It’s dislocated."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn’t broken, things were fine. Dislocations were common in children and just needed to be set.

"Hey, little one, what do those words say?"

Clayton Xavier asked, pointing to a plaque on the wall. Tang Xiaonan glanced over instinctively and blurted out the words, "Treat everyone equally... OWW..." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

A sharp pain shot through her, even worse than before. Tang Xiaonan let out a miserable shriek; the pain was so intense she couldn’t even faint. Jim Thorne glared viciously at Clayton Xavier. If he weren’t holding Tang Xiaonan, he would have punched him already.

"All set."

Clayton Xavier looked at Tang Xiaonan with a pleasant smile, surprise in his eyes. ’She can actually read the characters on the plaque, and they’re traditional ones at that. This little girl is nothing like Jacqueline Spann said—dumb as a pig. She’s clearly sharp as a tack. And while she might be a bit spoiled and willful, she has a good heart. She’s a very endearing little girl.’

Tang Xiaonan was skeptical. She carefully moved her wrist. It didn’t hurt. She moved it a few more times—it was completely flexible. The pain from before felt like a dream. Tang Xiaonan’s mouth fell open in amazement. ’This is incredible! I had no idea Clayton Xavier had a skill like this!’

"It doesn’t hurt anymore! Thank you, Mr. Xavier," Tang Xiaonan said gratefully.
