Just then, Mrs. Nath's voice rang out, her words trembling with emotion. "I felt my father's hand move just now!" she declared, her eyes fixed on the old man's lifeless body.

Dr. Preston's laughter was cold and condescending. "Mrs. Nath, I know this is hard on you, but please accept my sympathy. Your father is dead. This fool killed him with his unprofessional technique!" He hissed, his eyes narrowing at Elvis.

His voice dripped with sarcasm as he continued, "Your father was a good man. He was the one who helped me establish my biggest hospital here in this country. I really wished this fool didn't interrupt me and had allowed me to do my job. May his soul find rest!"

Maxwell's face twisted in anger, his fists clenched. "I'm sure he used voodoo... you'll rot in jail!" he yelled, taking a step towards the door to get the police.

    Dr. Preston's eyes widened in shock as Mrs. Nath's expression to outright hostility. "You're a quack doctor," she spat, her voice venomous.

You're just a pawn in a game of deceit and manipulation. You quickly declared my father dead because someone asked you to, didn't you?"Dr. Preston's eyes darted to Maxwell, who was watching the exchange with an unreadable expression. He felt a surge of fear as he realized that Maxwell had turned against him."Who asked you to do this, Dr. Preston?" Mrs. Nath pressed, her eyes blazing with anger.
