Chapter 11 Harold's mind jumped straight back to the incident on the terrace . He glared down at her from above and said , " Still putting on a show , Noelle ? I barely touched you . Don't even think about framing me again . " His words were cut off by a furious growl . " Shut up and call a doctor ! " Mitchell's bloodshot eyes locked onto Harold , icy and ferocious , his rage almost tangible . Even Harold , brash and unyielding , was silenced by that glare . He fumbled for his phone , dialing their doctor , Dr. Webster . Mitchell , his frail , disabled legs trembling against the floor, gathered Noelle into his arms with painstaking care . Harold thought , " Acting like I'm the bad guy here . Wait till Dr. Webster shows up . Let's see how Noelle keeps up this charade . " Harold was secretly looking forward to it . But to his surprise , the rest of the Martinez family came with the doctor . " Mom , Ray , Lucie , Darin ... What are you all doing here ? " Harold asked , caught off guard . " We heard Noe got hurt . Hal , did you pick on her again ? " Hester asked , her voice tinged with worry . She patted the squirming dog in her arms . " Oh , Nina , settle down , sweetie . " The little Pomeranian in Hester's arms yipped twice , its glossy black eyes fixed on Noelle with eager affection . Harold , already simmering with frustration , bristled at the accusation . " With Mitchell playing her knight , how could I dare ? " he said , his tone dripping with sarcasm . Mitchell ignored him , his gentle voice edged with urgency . " Dr . Webster , her arm's swollen . " Dr. Webster hurried over with his medical bag . The moment his fingers grazed Noelle's swollen arm , he froze . Harold raised an eyebrow , a knowing smirk crossing his face . " Noelle's always been a drama queen , making a fuss over nothing . Dr. Webster , just say it . We all know what she's like . No need to cover for her . " " It's serious , " Dr. Webster said curtly . " Ms . Noelle's arm is dislocated . " Harold's jaw dropped . " She barely fell ... How could it dislocate ? " Dr. Webster didn't respond . Instead , he turned to Noelle , his voice softening . " Ms . Noelle , brace yourself . This might hurt . " Noelle's pale face managed a faint smile . " It's fine . I'm used to it . " Even she wasn't sure if she was used to the recurring dislocations or the Martinez family's constant suspicion . Dr. Webster sighed , saying nothing more . He pressed down on her wrist to reset the joint . With a sharp crack , Noelle's face drained of what little color remained . Dr. Webster swiftly wrapped her arm in gauze for support . Only then did he address Harold's question . " For most people , a light fall wouldn't cause a dislocation . But Ms. Noelle's elbow has been dislocated multiple times . The joint capsule and ligaments are severely damaged , making it unstable . Even a slight impact can cause it to give way again . " Harold instinctively hid the hand he'd used to shove her , a flicker of guilt passing through his eyes . Hester's eyes welled with tears . " How did her arm get so badly hurt ? " Her first thought was that Noelle must've been beaten - maybe when she'd gone missing , or later , at the orphanage , But then she realized that , during Noelle's year with them , her arm had never dislocated . A chilling possibility crept into Hester's mind . " Was it the sanatorium ? " Mitchell's voice rasped , heavy with dread . Memories flooded Noelle . Her shoulders had been wrenched from sockets . She remembered the needles piercing her hands and the electric cuffents searing her temples .... Her body shook harder , beyond her control . " Noel Mitchell called , his voice thick with worry .
