“Mando!” Genevieve exclaimed as she knelt and caught Armand’s arm.

Coldly, he roughly shoved Genevieve’s hand off. “I told you before; I don’t need it.”

She watched as he fumbled around the wheelchair, stubbornly trying to help himself into it. Alas, Armand was too heavy, and every attempt to stand ended in a painful fall. The wheelchair even fell sideways.

Several minutes later, his arms and knees were covered in bruises.

Genevieve could not imagine how he felt when he woke up in the hospital and suddenly lost his ability to stand.

Her heart ached as she watched him try again and again.
