With a bang, the starting gun went off, followed by a cry of pain as Orion fell to the ground. It was clear he was hurt badly.

Nina was the first to rush over and scoop him up, her heart aching when she saw that a large patch of skin had been scraped off his knee.

"Mom, it hurts. My leg hurts so much," Orion sobbed in her arms.

"Don't worry, Orion. Mommy will take you to see the doctor," Nina said softly, quickly scanning the area. She spotted the temporary medical tent not far away and hurried over.

The teacher and other parents followed, their faces filled with concern as they saw Orion's injury. The doctor waved them aside, asking them to step back so they wouldn't upset the child further, and soon everyone moved outside. Once the medical tent quieted down, Nina anxiously asked, "Doctor, is there any damage to the bone?"

This was crucial. If his bones were injured, they would need to rush to a hospital immediately.

The doctor examined Orion again and shook his head. "No, ma'am, there's no bone damage. However, the skin on his knee is scraped, and it will take some time to heal. You must be careful to keep it dry and make sure he doesn't scratch it." Nina nodded, carefully noting the doctor's advice.
