Chapter 16 - A Medical Specialist Confirms Julian’s Complete Physical Recovery
Later that afternoon, Dr. Elizabeth Vance, an independent orthopedic specialist, arrived at the penthouse for a final evaluation.
She reviewed Julian’s neurological test results while he walked across the length of the marble living room floor.
“Your motor function is operating at one hundred percent capacity, Julian; it’s truly a medical miracle,” Dr. Elizabeth noted.
“It wasn't a miracle, doctor; it was months of intense physical therapy done in absolute secrecy,” Julian corrected gently.
“Your rehabilitation discipline saved your life and your mobility,” she smiled, packing her diagnostic tools into her case.
Lily skipped into the room holding a freshly baked cookie, offering half of it proudly to the doctor.
“Can my daddy run and play with me in Central Park now?” Lily asked eagerly, looking between the adults.
“He can run a marathon if he wants to, sweetie,” Dr. Elizabeth laughed, patting the little girl’s head.
Julian smiled broadly, lifting Lily up into the air as she giggled with pure, unadulterated happiness.
