Chapter 51 Fractured Family

• Aiden sits on the sterile, paper-covered examination table, his feet dangling over the edge. I watch him with concern from the cushion chairs on the other side of the exam room.
• The doctor murmurs to himself as he carefully studies Aiden’s leg. It seems that the majority of his concern is focused on Aiden’s foot and ankle. I can see Aiden attempting to hide grimaces as each small movement aggravates his pain.
• The doctor runs what I can only imagine to be a few more routine tests. He checks for sensation, tests Aiden’s reaction time, and looks over the X-rays we took earlier in the appointment.
