Chapter 105 105
"Do you feel anything?" Iren asked as he touched Liam's leg slowly and Liam sighed.
"You have been touching me for the past five minutes and I keep on telling you one thing, NO. Don't you get it?" Liam shot.
"What's going on?" Alexa ignored Liam and faced Iren. That even added to his anger as he stared at her.
"Most of his paralysis is from the chest downwards, he can't feel anything and more importantly, he lacks the will. He can only be helped if he actually wants to do this. I can't force him. It depends on the patient." Iren said and Alexa turned to Liam.
"You promised me. It's been just a week and you forgot your promise to try?" She asked.
"I'm trying, Alexandra but I can just feel." Liam shot in frustration, "You are putting so much pressure on me it feels like I'm letting you down." He said and she shook her head.
"You would never let me down, Liam. Know that. But you have to do your best. In my eyes you are still just the way you are, but like your said, in the future they would be more trouble. Don't let anyone belittle you, Liam. You have always been confident, it's what we need right now. That confidence and bravery that you are going to use to make it. Iren is here to help you and I'll be with you all the way. We are all rooting for you including the kids. They want to see you soon. They miss you badly." She said and Liam took a deep breath, his eyes looked in hers. She raised her brow ever so slightly, making him trust her more than ever before. He would heal. He had to heal.
Iren smiled at the couple and then he got back to Liam, "Try to move your toes." He said and Liam gulped down nothing, his concentration focused strongly on his toes. It has been an easy feat before but now,he was giving his whole life for those ties to move.
Alexandra nodded in support as his brows furrowed tightly in concentration. And so slightly, a twitch was noticed.
"Wha----" Iren clapped his hand in shock, seeing the tiny little movement, "Me Jordans, if only you could concentrated just like this for the next three months, I'm pretty sure you'd be on your feet again. I can say he is pretty persistent."
Alexa's eyes widened, a light which had dissappeared returning gladly to them and for that time since he woke up, Liam knew he had to make this woman happy, no matter what. She smiled at him, her lips widening till her dentition showed and he had to choice but to reflect the happiness on her face.
Some weeks later, Iren and Liam had become closer than ever expected.
"We would have to work on your balance and coordination. Also, your muscle strengthening." Iren said as he sat opposite Liam whose back was raised up to sit, resting in the wall. Alexandra walked in with a small cup.
He was slowly making little movement and it was better than no progress at all. He hadn't tried to stand yet and that sometimes frustrated him but she was here, to remind him always that he was making progress. Might not be a lot, but it was something and she was so excited for the day that something would become whole.
"Grab the cup." Iren said.
"I can't even believe this." Miller shot as he dropped the phone in anger and Antonia stared at him.
"Get Sarah and Alice here. Tell them to leave that idiot's house and come to this place. Since there was no serious injury, Reed had been released from the prison after a month. He maltreated the lady. I would do everything in my power to put him back." Miller swore.
Antonia' dropped her phone after sending Sarah a quick message and she glanced at him, "Reed is still your brother." She said calmly.
"It doesn't matter. No man in his right senses would lay his hand on his wife and on that, I'm front of a little girl. I would take care of Alice as my daughter. Tell Reed to go to hell." He snapped and Antonia shrugged.
"You always speak like you and I fight everything. I'm not Reed. I'm Antonia Jordans, your wife." She said and a smile appeared on Miller's face as he looked at the pretty woman..
"You are the only one who understands me so well, that is why I act that way. I could never get angry at you, love." He said and Antonia's face was filled with blush.
"We need to go see the children. They are all moving into Liam's house today. Liam is coming too." She said and Miller nodded, as he got up.
"Let's go." He hit his stick on the ground, clearing his throat as he walked outside.
"I can't believe we are finally packing into daddy's house." Jade said with a large smile on her face and Eugene looked at her, chuckling lightly.
"Would we see him today?" Jace asked.
"Yes. We haven't seen daddy in two months now." Jade pouted her lips sadly and Eugene sighed.
"You would see daddy today. He's coming home." Eugene said and the kids jumped up, laughing loudly, making the house resound with pure joy and gladness.
The door suddenly opened and Liam was pushed in by Alexandra, making the kids eyes widen. Alexa had already explained part of the situation to them so they hadn't been shocked to see the state of their father as he was pushed in.
"Daddy!!!!" Jade rushed towards him and hugged him tightly, making Liam smile widely. He was glad to see the kids. He'd begged Alexa numerous times but she gave him conditions to meet.
His hand went up to her hair and Jade's mouth fell open as she stared at Alexa with excitement, "Daddy can move his hand now?" She asked.
"Yes. And that is why we are back home." Alexa smiled more excitedly.
Jace just stared at them and when Liam's eyes locked with his, a tear escaped his eyes.
"Jace." Liam called slowly and the kid walked to him, hugging him tightly.
"This is why I didn't want to trust you." He muttered, "I thought you would leave us again." He whispered. Liam patted his back slowly, his eyes glassy.
"I would never leave you, Jace. I have nowhere to go, except here."
