Chloe darted her eyes towards Vernon instantly and shook her head.
She found it unnecessary for a busy man like Vernon to take care of an unassuming woman by doing the chores and stuff, but Vernon didn't allow her to speak any of her rejection. Instead, he discussed with the Doctor about what to do to make her hands heal faster.
Thus, Chloe could only lower her head as she felt guilty for making Vernon take care of her.

It took almost half a day until Chloe came out of the ER with her right hand covered in a cast. Vernon asked her if she wanted to be carried again, but she vehemently refused. She was already embarrassed when everyone was looking at her being carried like a baby.
Mackie jumped from the chair and approached her Mommy. She looked so worried when she saw her Mommy's right hand, "Mommy, does it hurt so much?"
Chloe smiled at Mackie, "A little, but Mommy is alright now."
