Chapter Two; Finding Strength. As the days passed and John's physical wounds began to heal, he knew deep down that he had reached a turning point. He was soon discharged from the hospital, and a discharge plan was drawn up for him, with weekly visits from a physiotherapist to help with his recovery. However, he remained confined to his wheelchair, unable to move without the help of his wife Sarah. It was a sunny day, and he was home alone when he heard a knock on the door. It was his personal assistant Ted. Ted had been working closely with John since Anthony, his wife's father, handed over their small business to him, which had grown massively over time to compete with some of the larger companies in the city.
