Chapter 29

Rey combed her fingers through Vladimir's hair and he coughed, glaring at the bottle of liquid food. He hated it but he was getting better and he wished he could speed up the process.

His surgery was successful but he still didn't have any appetite. His blonde hair was growing out again and he wasn't looking so pale anymore.

"Stop acting like a damn baby" Rey hissed and he looked away with a frown.

"You wouldn't be saying that if you had a catheter up your privates" he mumbled under his breath and Rey rolled her eyes. She was happy he was getting better. She only hoped he would stay that way.

"No more cancer sticks, okay?" She whispered softly, rubbing her thumb over his brow. Vlad nodded eagerly with a promise in his eyes. He wanted to change. He was given another chance at life with her and in the next few weeks, they would be in their dream home.
