The doctor’s hand paused in mid-air as he looked up in mild surprise, his gaze flickering from Sonia to the impassive Toby. He didn’t think he was using much force at all, so it was unlikely that Toby felt any pain. Besides, judging from the man’s lack of expression, I highly doubt he’s in pain, the doctor concluded.

As the doctor shook his head, he did not dwell further on Sonia’s remark before dismissing it as a wife’s show of concern for her husband’s well-being. Well, I guess I’ll just be as gentle as I can. After having decided on this, the doctor sighed and carried on with the massage.

 

The massage had continued for quite a while before he opened the medical kit and began to rummage through its contents, selecting the bandages for Toby’s wound.

Sonia patted Douglas on the back as she stood up. “How’s his foot, doctor? Is there a fracture or something?”

While he dabbed antiseptic onto Toby’s foot, the doctor answered dutifully, “Don’t you worry, ma’am. Your husband’s foot will be alright. There’s no damage to his bones, although he has sprained his ligament and tendon. He just needs to take it easy for about two weeks or so before he’ll make a full recovery.”

Upon hearing this, she let out a breath of relief. Then, she nodded with a smile as she answered, “That’s good to know.”

 

The guilt she had felt earlier significantly waned after she heard that Toby would recover just fine.

She knew he had only tried to save himself, but it didn’t disregard the fact that he saved her all the same, even though such a feat was more of a coincidence than anything else. She would have been indebted to him had his foot suffered any real and serious injury.

 

He, on the other hand, was regarding Sonia with a dark look when he noticed the wide grin on her face. She might as well congratulate me, he thought sullenly.

As though she sensed his gaze, Sonia turned to look at him in askance. “What is it?”
