It didn't necessarily have to be a problem. People ended up in slings for various reasons all the time, particularly in the Clubs. It wouldn't have been hard to brush it off as some sort of accident and have that be that.
Except ever since it had become clear that she and Edgar were destined for each other, he had been even more fiercely protective of her. It had gotten increasingly more difficult to hide her injuries from him, much though she'd improved at using makeup to cover the bruises.
Being in a sling was a lot more difficult to cover up. Had had her keeping to herself more in an attempt to avoid having people see it.
The problem was, though, is that (likely for this very reason,) they never let her hide away for very long.
