For 23 years, an elderly woman devoted herself to caring for her paralyzed son, until a nagging suspicion prompted her to install a hidden camera in their home. The footage she discovered left her utterly stunned…

I’m happy we’re together, even if in secret. Each encounter was a mixture of excitement and caution. They knew they had to keep the secret to avoid complications, but the bond between them grew stronger each day.

Gabriel felt motivated not only by the possibility of walking again, but also by the love growing between him and Sophia. Meanwhile, the physiotherapy sessions continued to be intense and productive. Gabriel was becoming increasingly stable in his steps, and Sophia could not help but feel proud of his progress.

The professional relationship that began with a focus on physical recovery was now imbued with deep and genuine affection. The hidden romance gave Gabriel a new perspective and renewed strength to continue his recovery journey. And although they kept their feelings a secret, the truth was that they had become an indispensable source of mutual support.

Each day brought a new challenge, but also a new opportunity for Gabriel and Sophia to strengthen their bond. The weeks passed, and the love between Gabriel and Sophia grew more and more. Gabriel knew it was time to be honest with his mother about his feelings for Sophia.

He did not want to hide something so important any longer. He decided he would do it in a way that would surprise both Catherine and Sophia. On a quiet night after dinner, Gabriel and Catherine were in the living room watching the soap opera.

Gabriel was nervous but determined. He waited until the commercial break, and then looked at his mother seriously. Mom, I need to tell you something, he began, his voice trembling slightly.

Catherine looked at him with concern. What is it, son? I… I fell in love with Sophia, Gabriel said, taking a deep breath, and I would like to ask for your blessing to date her. Catherine was silent for a moment, absorbing the news.

Her eyes filled with tears, but they were tears of joy. Oh, Gabriel, she said, her voice choked with emotion. This is wonderful.

I always wanted to see you happy and find someone special, and Sophia is an incredible person. Gabriel smiled, relieved. Thank you, mom.

It means a lot to me to have your support. The next day, Gabriel decided it was time to make the formal proposal to Sophia. He invited her to dinner at his house, saying he wanted to spend more time together outside the clinic.

Sophia accepted the invitation, happy to spend a pleasant evening with Gabriel and Catherine. After dinner, while everyone was sitting in the living room, Gabriel felt that the moment was perfect. He looked at Sophia, who was laughing at a story Catherine was telling, and felt a wave of love and courage.

Sophia, he began, interrupting the conversation with a serious tone, I have something important to ask you. Sophia turned to him, curious. What is it, Gabriel? He took a deep breath, and with his eyes fixed on hers, said, You brought light into my life in a way I never imagined possible.

I want to be with you, not just as a patient and therapist, but as a partner. Will you be my girlfriend? Sophia, surprised and moved, smiled as her eyes filled with tears. Yes, Gabriel, I also want to be with you…
