Although the company Elowen established could save the Aldridge Family from a crisis,
is, it couldn’t bring the family back to its former glory. In the end, they would need external help and Lawson Group was the best option.
Lately, Elowen had been unable to eat or sleep well due to the issues with the Aldridge Family. Upon hearing Maya’s suggestion, he quickly pushed thoughts of me aside and rubbed Maya’s head
“Then it’s all on you for this competition, I’ve seen your dance skills and you’ll definitely win the championship.”
Flustered by the praise, Maya nodded and said, “I will work hard. So, during this period, could you accompany me more for practice, Elowen? I don’t feel very motivated practicing alone.”
Without a second thought, Elowen readily agreed.
Another week passed and my second treatment finally ended. This time, Dr. Jack didn’t stimulate my legs as he did last time. Instead, he asked me to try standing up.
Following his instructions carefully, I attempted to stand up from the wheelchair. Since my legs had lost sensation for so long. controlling them became quite difficult. However, after persistent effort, I was able to reconnect with my legs and managed to take five steps on the floor without any support.
Dr. Jack told me, “Congratulations! Your legs have recovered very successfully. During this time, you can let Vero take you around to help with recovery. in five days, we will start the third treatment and by the time it ends, you should be able to run and jump.”
His words were an immense surprise to me and I was so happy that I almost jumped up. But due to my unsteady balance, I fell to the ground.
My legs hit the floor heavily, but I didn’t feel any pain, just pure happiness.
I could finally stand up
In the next five days, Vere stayed by my side, watching me walk, I didn’t want to hold her back from her work, so I suggested she go handle her tasks. However, she refused instead, she handed me a poster and said, “Callisto, you need to get better quickly. Once you’re able to run and jump. Il sign you up for this ballet competition.”
I took the poster and glanced at it. It was a ballet competition funded by Lawson Group, where the winner would become their spokesperson and also have the opportunity to collaborate with the company
I knew the influence of this company in the business world. It was no ordinary presence. Many people aspired to collaborate with them and there would undoubtedly be thousands of participants in this competition t
My legs had just recently recovered and it had been five or six years since I last danced. There was no way I could make it to the finals. To be honest, I would probably be eliminated in the first round
I didn’t want to embarrass myself, so I declined Vero’s suggestion
Vero seemed to sense my concerns and smiled, reassuring me, “I know you’re worried that your dancing skills have declined and you’re afraid you won’t measure up to others But don’t forget, everyone who has seen you dance has always said that you have extraordinary talent, a top tier talent. So I believe that even if it’s been five or six years since you last danced, a little rust is normal. But as long as you practice diligently, making it to the finals should be no problem
