Chapter 13

Amelia was just looking at the man who was sitting in the wheelchair. He was talking to the doctor. He was with his parents. She could see the love and concern in his parent’s eyes as they looked at their child.

She knew how they felt. The situation of their son must have hurt them. They could see that they didn’t mind what other people were thinking about the child. All they cared at the moment was how Levi would recover in everything that happened to him. She knew that his situation was truly depressing.

She took a deep breath before she knocked gently at the door to call the attention of the doctor. The door was slightly open, that's why the doctor was able to see her.

“Oh, Great. You are just on time, Amelia,” the doctor said as soon as she got their attention. “Come in.”

She smiled and then she went inside. Amelia could feel those eyes that were looking at her. Her heart was pounding so fast as she could feel that all the attention of the people in the room were all darted on her.

Well, she should be expecting this when she accepted the job that Doctor Sandoval offered to her. Since she wanted to have a break from the smell of the hospital. This was just one common reason why a lot of people like her thought of accepting a job being a private therapist and at the same time a nurse for paralyzed people.

It was better than being at the hospital and moving around with different people. She wanted to have this kind of job for a long time already but no opportunity had come for her and finally when it came to her, she had second doubts at first. So, she just decided based on being practical.

It was the first time that she would be a private therapist and the first patient that she was going to handle was Mr. Alvarez. He requested for a personal therapist and at the same time someone who could be his private nurse with a reasonable compensation. Since she badly needed to earn money for their future, though she had a little doubt in her heart, she accepted the job.

“Mr. Alvarez, this is the therapist that I am telling you about. This is Ms. Amelia Chavez,” the doctor introduced her to Levi.

She just saw the man nodding his head. It looked like he was not interested to know him at all.

If only Doctor Sandoval knew that she knew the patient, she was sure that the doctor would be shocked. But she couldn’t say anything because the part of her life that this person was in, was something that she thought she had already forgotten.

And, now their paths crossed again and she didn’t know what she should be thinking. Was it fate that brought him back to her to continue what they had that had been interrupted by many events?

She didn’t know the answer because she didn’t want to think about it as well. It had been a couple of years and she was even doubting if this man could still remember her.

If Levi Alvarez could still remember the memories that they had during the past three years. She didn’t want to raise her hopes up because she didn’t want to get hurt.

“Hi, Ms. Amelia. It’s nice to meet you,” Levi said and then he stretched his hand to give her a handshake.

Amelia was wearing a mask because she was coughing earlier after she ate nuts.

“I am sorry. I needed to wear a mask,” she apologized, and the man just nodded.

“Hi dear, we are Levi’s parents,” Levi’s mother said and then they had a handshake as well.

She could say that Levi’s parents were worried about him the way that they were looking at their son.

“I am glad that you accepted our offer as Levi’s personal therapist and as well as to be his private nurse,” the woman continued. “We knew that it might be impossible, but we are happy that you have accepted it.”

Amelia just smiled at the woman. Even she couldn’t believe that she had accepted it, but she needed to earn, and the compensation was good so she already grabbed it. It would be impractical to let the opportunity slip away.

“Don’t worry, Ma’am. We will do our best to make Mr. Alvarez get back to normal. I am looking forward to his fast recovery as long as he helps himself too,” she said and then she looked at Levi’s legs.

Those legs were the man’s treasure and she couldn’t imagine what exactly happened. She knew that the sadness that he was in his eyes was because of the reason that he couldn’t walk and that stopped him from reaching his dreams.

She couldn’t explain to herself but she felt like her heart was being squeezed to see the man in his current state. She felt pity on him, for what happened to him and to his fiancée. She was sorry when she learned everything that he had gone through. She watched the interview of his fiancée and she saw the scene at the conference room.

Who wouldn’t know about it? It had been all over the news as everything had been exposed to the public by his fiancée. She could already imagine the pain and the misery that he had to feel because of this incident. These all happened when they came back from the SEA games. She had stalked him since she ran away from him. She was hoping that one day, fate would be very kind to her. She was wishing that she would be encountering him again in her life and everything would be clear between the two of them.

It was her greatest dream since she ran away not only from him but for the life that she already had.

But Levi didn’t know about it.
