Charlotte was patiently waiting for the important guests that were expected to arrive. She immediately stood up when she heard the door creak open. The smile on her face disappeared the moment she saw Antonio. Her eyes widened in shock as she glanced at him from head to toe. There was no sign of his wheelchair anywhere.
"Darling?" She called, walking away from her seat.
"Charlotte" he also called her name.
She got closer to him, touching his hand. Once again, she looked at him all over.
"You... You can walk" She faked a smile, acting surprised to see him.
"Do you believe in miracles?" He spread his hands and walked to the single chair at the end of the long table.
She bit her lower lips, which were trembling in anger. She was never expecting this. She thought Antonio was weak and dying. But, he's healthy and is suddenly able to walk.
'Has he been faking everything? Miracles? Did he think I'll believe such bullshit?'
