"It hurts..." Alex's voice was hoarse from two days of silence.
Seeing this, Ava quickly called for the doctor. After a thorough examination, the doctor provided some instructions for Alex's recovery and advised rest. Ava committed these instructions to memory silently.
Alex's mind was foggy at this moment, unaware of what had happened. However, the sight of Ava by his side brought him a deep sense of comfort.
"The doctor said it's a normal reaction, but if the pain is too severe, I can call him to give you a painkiller shot," Ava said, bringing a cup of hot water and slowly feeding it to Alex.
After a while, Alex gradually regained his clarity. Remembering the events of that day, he quickly turned his gaze to Ava, his voice hoarse and broken but full of concern.
"Are you alright?"
