All of a sudden, Ariana straightened her posture, feeling a surge of nervousness as she anxiously awaited Mitchel's words.

Could something be wrong with her body? Was her leg beyond repair?

The further her thoughts ventured, the greater her distress grew. She couldn't resist posing her question, "Dr. Chadwick, is my leg beyond healing?"

Ariana's eyes widened in shock, and before she could revel in the excitement,
