"I'm sorry to say sir, but she wouldn't be capable of walking ever again", the doctor pointed out clearly. Jenneth Hawkins was barely able to stand even before her failed bone operation.
"What do you mean?! Aren't you a professional!!", Caleb jumped to his feet in rage. He was a born actor and had hired a cheap doctor to do the operation.
To him, it wasn't a good investment to spend money on someone who was already a lost cause.
The bones in her legs were undeveloped as a child and it took her years to even learn how to stand.
Whenever she was asked, Jenneth would describe walking as tedious.
"Mother!", Fourteen-year-old Vanessa ran up to her mother's bed with teary eyes. Beside her was her father, Caleb..... who gripped his wife's fragile hands in his before laying a kiss on it.
Jenneth was still asleep after losing some blood from the operation.
