"So, how are you feeling now, my darling? I hope Alex massaged some life into those lovely legs?" Ella, Alex's mom, asked during dinner that evening after they had rested.
"I feel much better. Thanks," Min-Jung said with a small smile while ignoring the second question. She had taken the soothing balm from Alex in the afternoon and had applied it to her sore muscles herself. She did feel a bit of relief even though she still wasn't moving yet.
Alex had invited a doctor to check on her, and he had said it was because she wasn't fully recovered from her accident and was stressing her legs too much.
"Your mouth," Alex said, holding a spoonful of baked beans to Min-jung's mouth. Min-jung smiled at him before opening her mouth to accept the food.
