Lee Taylor and his wife had a troublesome marriage and often fought. When Lee began hitting his wife, she knocked him down and was about to strike him with an axe when the fight was interrupted by Lena Harrington. Lena was injured in the process of stopping Lee’s wife. Afterward, Lee promised to pay Lena for her injuries. But he made only one small payment and then refused to pay anymore. Lena sued to enforce the promise. Is there sufficient legal basis for her to recover? Explain
