CHAPTER 525. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. Hoping for the bestMilo sighed and forced a smile to reassure his mother. He left the hospital and went home to shower and change before going to see Niko—he didn’t want to scare him. Then he headed to Chiara’s apartment, and when he arrived, he found the little boy sitting in a chair, staring blankly with his arms crossed over his chest.But the moment he saw Milo, that posture disappeared."Daddy!" Niko shouted, running toward him. Milo opened his arms, holding him tight until the boy’s fear faded.Milo knew that, deep down, Niko harbored the fear of being abandoned. Not seeing his dad for hours had made him extra sensitive. He hugged Niko tightly, feeling the boy cling to him. They stayed like that for a long time until Milo finally pulled away to look him in the eyes."Hey, champ," he said. "You don’t have to be scared if Daddy’s not here. Don’t worry, I’ll never leave you, and I promise I’ll never stop loving you. Ever. I just had to be with Mommy
CHAPTER 526. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. NewsMilo knelt beside the hospital bed, his trembling hand gently stroking Anja’s pale face. Sadness and worry were reflected in his eyes as he looked at the woman who had stolen his heart, now lying unconscious. His voice, shaky with fear, rose in a soft, sorrowful whisper.“Baby, please, you have to wake up,” he said. “Niko and I need you. Please, wake up.” His words hung in the air, heavy with anguish, desperately hoping for a response. “I know it might seem easier to give up right now, but that’s not who you are, right? You don’t give up, baby. So please, wake up…”Tears brimmed in his eyes, reflecting his fear and confusion. Silently, Niko lay next to his mother, hugging her tenderly.“G'morning!” Niko exclaimed as if trying to wake her with that cheerful greeting. Milo felt his heart hang by a thread, unable to bear the thought of his son losing anyone else.“Niko, champ, Mom is fighting. But we have to believe she’ll get better,” Milo whispered,
CHAPTER 527. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. Here I AmAnja felt her heart race as she realized she could barely move. Her limbs felt heavy, and her weakness was undeniable."Doc, what’s going on?" Milo asked, noticing the doctor’s worried expression."I’m sorry, Anja, but I need to run a new sensitivity test to be sure. May I?" the doctor asked, pulling a pen from his coat pocket."Yes… of course…" she responded.The doctor carefully began passing the tip of the pen over Anja’s hands and feet."I need you to tell me which direction you feel the touch."Anja tried her best to answer, despite her growing anxiety. She could feel every touch, but her responses were weak, as if her senses were dulled."Anja," the doctor said gently, "it seems your nerves are functioning, but you’re experiencing significant weakness. We’ll need to run more tests to determine how serious this is, okay? The doctors will take you, and I’ll be with you in a moment."Unable to hold back her tears, Anja looked at Milo for com
CHAPTER 528. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. Perfectly capableMoments later, the doctor entered with a sheet of results and a calm expression."I’ve got good news, all good news, Anja. So please, try to stay calm," he explained. "You were in a state of hypoxia for a while during the… accident. So, it’s understandable that there are some aftereffects, but believe me, they’re not severe. The muscle weakness you’re experiencing may be reversible. In a few days, if all goes well, we’ll discharge you, and we can immediately begin treatment. The best news of all is that your recovery, entirely, depends on you. And we know you’re a fighter, so with determination, in six months, this will all be behind you."Anja nodded as a sob escaped her chest."I can handle six months," she said tearfully. "I can handle six months.""You can handle anything," Milo assured her, kissing her forehead."So let’s calm down and celebrate that you’re alive and that very soon, you’ll be fully recovered," the doctor encouraged
CHAPTER 529. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. Adult DiapersMilo lifted Anja in his arms to carry her to the car, settling her in the passenger seat before getting behind the wheel, ready to take her home. They drove in silence, but he noticed how one of Anja's fingers hovered over the window button. Milo rolled it down for her from his side, and she sighed softly as the morning breeze swept in."Thanks," she murmured, clenching her fist. "I have control of my hands, but I still don't have much strength.""You'll get it back, don't worry. Meanwhile, let’s get home and wash off this awful hospital smell," Milo smiled, but he couldn't help noticing the sadness and worry on Anja's face, like something was deeply troubling her. As he drove, he decided to muster up the courage and broach the topic."Anja, babe, how are you feeling? What's on your mind?" Milo asked gently.Anja stared out the window for a moment before replying in a shaky voice, "I can't stop thinking about what that nurse said. What if s
CHAPTER 530. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. "Yes, ma’am!"Perhaps at that moment, Anja knew that something in her life had changed forever, and it had nothing to do with her illness.The next morning, Milo woke her up early for her first physical therapy session. Anja didn’t think to complain about starting the day with him in the bathtub."Babe, are you biting me?" Milo suddenly asked, noticing her guilty expression."Umm... no, I was sucking you.""On the neck? What, are you a vampire now?""No, but I thought maybe a little hickey would keep the next distraction away," she sighed. "I still don’t know who’ll be doing my physical therapy...""Well, we’re screwed then. If you get a female therapist, you’ll faint, and if it’s a guy, I’ll faint. Come here, let me bite you, just in case."Anja burst out laughing, and that was the best sound in the world for Milo, though, to be honest, when he saw that Anja’s therapist was a massive, sexy version of Bigfoot, he nearly fainted for real.Luckily, the guy
CHAPTER 531. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. Empty HouseAnja had fully committed herself to her physical recovery process. She tirelessly dedicated hours to physical therapy sessions, working hard to strengthen her body and overcome the challenges she faced. As the days went by, she noticed significant improvements in her muscle strength and her ability to move more easily. But Bigfoot was right”her entire life couldn't revolve around this, so work at the institution absorbed her with the same intensity. Not to mention, of course, that Niko took up all her attention when he came home from preschool, and he was the best therapist in the world because keeping up with him was tough even for Milo. Three weeks later, the institution received its first child. It was a little boy, barely a year old, who had fallen victim to baby trafficking. The team of specialists immediately took care of him, giving him all the love and attention he needed until they could reunite him with his parents again. At the e
CHAPTER 532. TO BELIEVE AGAIN. Are you sure?"Is this what you want?" he asked, and Anja sighed with delight, gripping his shoulders. "Mmmmm." "You want to get dirty because no one’s home?" he laughed. Anja licked her lips before answering, her eyes shining with absolute lust. "There are few opportunities like this!" "Very true! Clothes off!" Milo exclaimed, and a second later, Anja's body trembled under his caresses. Milo undressed Anja with skilled fingers while she sighed, savoring the mix of softness and strength in his hands. Then he stripped off his own clothes while she watched, mesmerized. Milo was a work of art, with defined muscles and smooth skin. She loved everything about him, especially how dominant he felt as he guided her fingers to his erection, groaning with pleasure at the touch of skin. Anja gently stroked his member, wondering how all of that could disappear inside her. Milo pulled her to the edge of the desk to kiss her breasts eagerly. A moan escaped Anja
