Alex continued to hug Bella as if his life depended on it. He even forgot that they were in the hospital and they were there to have breakfast. His strength was crumbling down with the recent incidents. Only Bella was the one who was supporting her and giving her the courage to stand up. He had never thought that Bella, who did not understand human relations at all, would say something so profound.
"I will Bella, I will make sre to progress more and more. I will make progress if not for anyone then for you." he promised and made sure in his heart that he would do so.
"I know that Alex. I know. You will soon be able to progress a lot and will be a great person." she replied as he continued to hug her.
She moved her hands to his hairs and slowly carried him. He took a few breaths and finally calmed down. She gave him an encouraging smile which he returned back with a small one.
