Unexpected surprise

"Mother, are you alright?! Are you still feeling any pain or discomfort?"

A concerned young boy inquired after his mother, who had just received treatment from the healing mage. He couldn't shake off the worry from the kick she had taken earlier from the bandit.

"I'm fine, my dear. Mother is perfectly alright, and I don't feel any pain anymore thanks to Miss Jennie's healing magic." The mother reassured her son, gently rubbing his head and offering a warm smile.

"That's good. As long as you're okay... but father... those bastards killed father!" Tears welled up in the young boy's eyes as he recalled the brutal scene of the bandits showing no mercy in taking his father's life.

"I know, my love, I know what they did to your father..." The mother held her son tightly, mourning the loss of her husband.
