A sharp, crushing pain shot through the top of Vicky's foot, making it almost unbearable.
Vicky instinctively pushed the woman in front of her away.
With considerable force, Vicky managed to knock the woman to the ground in an instant.
Just then, two elegant ladies happened to be walking by from a distance and hurried over upon witnessing the scene.
"Oh my goodness, Aria, are you okay?!"
"Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"
The two ladies stood on each side of the younger woman to help her to her feet.
A few scratches marred the younger woman's porcelain-like skin, and one of the middle-aged ladies' eyes reddened with concern.
"Aria, are you hurt? Does it hurt?"
The younger woman replied, "Mom, I'm fine. It's just a few scratches. They'll heal."
Her mother gazed at her with tender affection. "You've had health issues since you were little, and now that you've finally recovered, you go and hurt yourself. How can I feel at ease when you're out on your own?"
"Mom, I really am fine..."
The older woman interrupted her daughter's reassurance. "I told you not to come, but you insisted... It's too late now and everything is done. You won't change anything by coming here. What if you end up getting hurt again?"
