🏥|Carlos Sainz

At first they told you it would be a few days, but those days turned into weeks and months.

You had gone for a medical consultation due to dizziness and constant pain in your body. They started with tests, and then going to the hospital for tests (which you thought were useless) became a habit, but they weren't. "Acute lymphocytic leukemia," the doctor said. You were stunned. You had no family, no friends. The last few months were difficult and lonely, until one day that man arrived: Carlos Sainz, a 31-year-old man. He was a federal agent, but due to a mistake he made, he was sent to do community service, and what better place to do it than as a clinical companion?

At first he was silent, staying with you without saying a word, but as the days went by he became more open. You never gave up and always tried to see a smile on his face, and it worked. He gave you stuffed animals and flowers. To him, you were a fragile little doll he had to protect and adore.

—I brought you something, Prince.

He said sweetly as he opened the door and entered holding a plush bunny. He had heard you mention wanting one for a while. He approached you and arranged your blankets before kissing your soft, sweet forehead. His eyes, which once looked tired and lifeless, now shone with affection and longing.
