What is the ruling if a victim pardons retaliation (Qisas) for the cutting of a finger, but the injury subsequently spreads to the hand?

Book of Wounds
Primary text
If a person pardons retaliation after an initial injury (cutting of a finger) and the injury then spreads to affect the hand, and the wound subsequently heals, the ruling remains tied to the initial pardon. The text does not explicitly state the final outcome in this specific scenario but introduces it as a point of inquiry following the section on differing opinions regarding the scope of pardon.
