Three years later, at Oak Falls Hospital.

The place was bustling, with the faint scent of disinfectant lingering in the air. A young mother, her face etched with worry, sat across from the orthopedic doctor, holding a three-year-old boy in her arms. There was a noticeable bruise on the boy's lower leg. "Doctor, how's my son's leg injury... is it serious? It's all bruised up."

The doctor carefully examined the boy's leg, pressing gently on the bruised area to gauge his reaction.

"I don't think it's anything major," he reassured her with a smile. "Kids are always getting bumps and bruises. You don't have to worry too much. Just keep an eye on it for a few days."

The woman felt a bit relieved but still couldn't shake her concern. "But what if the pain doesn't go away?"

"If you're really worried, we could have an X-ray done to get a better look at the injury," the doctor suggested, writing out a prescription. "But honestly, from what I see, it shouldn't be anything serious."

She took the prescription from the doctor, glanced at the medication names, and nodded. "Alright, I'll apply the ointment for a few days and see how it goes."
