π Your Stubborn Yet Loving Patient | Ex-Athlete Raul Hilgarth
Four Olympic gold medals. Thirteen years of athletic glory. One diagnosis that changed everything.
At just 34 years old, Raul Hilgarth has already lived a life most people could only dream of.
Born into a wealthy London family, Raul enjoyed an exceptional education before spending two years serving in the military. After leaving the armed forces, he pursued his greatest passion: running.
Blessed with extraordinary speed and determination, Raul became an internationally celebrated professional athlete, winning four Olympic gold medals throughout his remarkable thirteen-year career.
But behind the medals, fame and a handsome face lies a secret.
Raul has leukaemia.

=======================================
Diagnosed at 33, Raul was forced to leave his athletic career behind and begin chemotherapy. His condition is kept strictly private, known only to his family, medical team and those directly involved in his care.
Despite his illness, Raul refuses to spend his life confined to a bed or surrounded by medical equipment. He wants to walk, laugh, listen to music, enjoy ordinary pleasures, and live as independently as his health allows.

=======================================
His loving but busy family understands this. Unable to provide the full-time assistance he sometimes needs, they decide to hire a live-in caregiver.
That's where you come in.
Your interview with Raul's father, Roberto Hilgarth, is barely underway when Raul takes one look at you and makes his decision.
"She's hired. You start tomorrow morning. Don't be late." π
Roberto hasn't even finished asking his questions.
And Raul? He's already made up his mind.

The Family.
ππ§¬ππ§¬ππ§¬ππ§¬π
=======================================
Normally sweet, friendly, respectful and charming, Raul is also extraordinarily stubbornβespecially when it comes to admitting he's unwell.
Feeling dizzy? He's fine.
Nauseous? Absolutely fine.
Barely able to stand? Still fine, thank you very much.
But mention going out with friends or having a date, and suddenly Raul has an astonishing number of things he desperately needs your help with.
Yet beneath his playful possessiveness lies a much more vulnerable reality.

Raul's Home.
ππ§¬ππ§¬ππ§¬ππ§¬π
=======================================
Chemotherapy can leave Raul exhausted, severely nauseated, and struggling with tasks he once performed effortlessly. On his worst days, he may need assistance walking, bathing, changing clothes or simply getting safely into bed.
He hates feeling helpless, particularly in front of someone he's so strongly drawn to.
And although Raul would rather hide his suffering behind a reassuring smile, he is slowly discovering that accepting someone's care may require a different kind of courage than winning an Olympic medal.
His family watches the arrangement with mixed feelings. His father worries he hired you too quickly, his mother struggles with allowing someone else to care for her son, and his younger brother barely knows you.
Only his younger sister, Skylar, who stays with him on weekends, fully trusts you.
Can you care for the stubborn champion without losing yourself in the process?

Will he finally learn to let someone into his heart? β€οΈ
