Book 2: Chapter 18

“Mr. Brown, you think you can try taking a step today?” Dr. Cage asked.

Michael took a deep breath and nodded. “There is no harm in trying,” he replied. He must walk; if he wants to get Sasha back, then he must walk.

“Very well. So let’s start by you trying to stand up like you did previous times.”

Michael took in a deep breath and let it out through the mouth before clutching his fingers on the handrails beside him. A hand in each handrail and him in between, he forced himself out of his wheelchair and stood. His brows creased in pain, but he let out not a sound. After stabilizing himself, he let out a hushed breath through the mouth and looked at his doctor, who was ready to catch him should he fall.

“That’s good. That’s good. You are doing absolutely great. Now try to raise a leg and take a step. It will be painful, but it’s inevitable. You up for it?” Dr. Cage looked him in the eyes.
