A Caged Songbird's Escape: Into the Arms of a Predator novel Chapter 312

The middle-aged man beside her radiated a commanding presence—the kind that comes from years of power and makes people instinctively keep their distance.

From a nearby table, Aaron waved Elissa over. “Elissa, come here. Could you take a look at Mrs. Wilkinson and see if there’s any hope for her legs?”

The others in the private room exchanged hesitant glances.

After a moment’s deliberation, the middle-aged man furrowed his brow and finally spoke. “Mr. Blaine, we made a special trip today hoping you could help my wife…”

It wasn’t that they objected to letting this young woman try, but Suzanne’s condition had dragged on for so many years. They’d taken her to various specialists before, only to hear the same gentle but devastating verdict: there was nothing to be done; she’d never walk again.
