After, Dr. Lucy left the room. She strode into her office, still amused by the effect of the pill. She had done some medical checks on Mr. Prescott, and his illness had vanished as if it had never been there before.Her mind raced as she stared at the pills. Then she thought about something. She left her office and then walked into one of the wards. She found a little boy, who broke his spine after an accident. She knew the report of the boy, he wouldn’t be able to walk again, and she knew the effect of the pill. She decided to try it on someone else.“Nurse, can you give me a moment? I need to check something, it’s urgent.” She said,The nurse nodded, taking a step backwards as she watched Dr. Lucy gingerly put the pills into the mouth of the boy, whose face was pale. “You are going to be fine.” She whispered.The nurse looked puzzled, “What’s that, Dr. Lucy?” It’s a magical pill, I got it from a friend. It can cure even conditions already deemed important to be treated.” She cou

Claire was caught off guard, she didn’t see that coming. But she knew she had to stand up for herself before it was too late.“What the hell are you talking about? Are you trying to accuse me? Don’t try to shift the blame, we are going to sue you if anything should happen to him.”Dr. Martin couldn’t stand the conversation, so he spoke out. “Young man, you should be worried about what you have done! Instead of apologising, you are blabbing. Do you know what would happen to you if anything should happen to Mr. Prescott?”“Nothing will happen to my father, Dr. Martin. Austin’s pill is authentic and it can cure any illness.”“I am not surprised you are defending him. This was all your plan to kill my husband, wasn’t it? Then you can snatch his remaining possessions!” Austin and Hannah frowned. She looked at her stepmother with disgust. Did you just say I want to snatch what are already his remaining possessions? Do you even have anything left? Do you even know what you are talking abou

Dr. Lucy startled, as she struggled with her words. She never imagined that someone would barge in on her at that moment.“What was that? What’s happening, Dr. Lucy?” He asked again, looking closer at the patient’s pale face.He was extremely furious when he noticed she had given him something, but what made him mad was the fact that he couldn’t tell what it was. Lucy hesitated for a moment, as she maintained her composure. “I gave him a magical pill.”“What pill,” Lucy showed the pill, and Dr. Martin looked at her with disbelief and disappointment, which was evident in his gaze. “Are you okay? Do you want to kill the patient? What kind of pill is that? Since when did you start giving magic pills to patients?”Lucy, for a moment, was lost for words; she didn’t know when she was moved to give the pill to Mr. Prescott, the deed had already been done.“It will help restore his health.” She spoke despite the fear and uncertainty that crept into her voice.Dr. Martin was agitated, “How

Austin looked at her, about to utter a word when Claire spoke out. “Dr. Lucy, I am happy you are here. Where is Dr. Martin’s?” She asked“I am sorry, Dr. Martins can’t make it. He sent me instead, he had an emergency at the hospital.” Lucy replied, her eyes were fixed on Austin.Claire’s expression changed; she had always had Dr. Martins handle her husband’s illness, but Lucy came instead. But why?“Since you are here, you will take over. I don’t want this lowlife trash to lay a hand on him. I don’t want anything to happen to my husband.” She said with her voice was dripping with menace and contempt.Lucy, for a moment, was surprised as he looked at Claire. If only she knew Austin’s worth.“Mrs. Prescott, I am sorry but I think you are harsh on him,” Lucy said with her voice barely above a whisper.Claire’s face turned dark as she glared at Lucy, “Who are you to tell me how to talk to people? You should focus on why you are here.”Lucy’s gaze darted from Austin to the old man. She kn

Austin’s expression was full of disdain. The old man was shameless and desperate about his daughter getting married to some rich family in the city.Does he think those families are richer than him?Hannah chimed in, showing her displeasure toward her father, “Austin isn’t going to accept your offer, even if he does, I will never return to the family with the intention you had for me.”“Let the young man decide.” Claire chimed in, her eyes flashing with fury and contempt.“I made it clear that I will never accept a refund, and no amount of money would make me change my mind and not even your condition.” Austin’s voice was sharp and steady.Hannah didn’t show any expression because she believed Austin wouldn’t let her go. At that moment, Claire spoke out. “Hannah, take a look at your father, he is asking for your help, but you chose not to accept. I don’t think you love or care about him cause if you do. You won’t hesitate to agree to his demands. What does this lowlife have that make

“What’s the doctor saying about your health?” Hannah asked.Mr. Prescott didn’t answer right away, he stared at his daughter.With his voice barely above a whisper, he said, “They found something. A tumour.”Silence filled the room like smoke. He chuckled dryly, not out of humour, but the kind that people use when they’re trying to stop from falling apart.“I ignored the pain for weeks. I thought it was just stress. You know, after the company collapsed. I stopped eating. I barely slept. Figured my body was reacting to the mess I made of my life.”He shifted in his chair, the weight of it all pressing on his shoulders.“But it’s not just stress. It’s cancer. Late stage, they said. Terminal. They’re giving me six months. Maybe less. I spent forty years building something, and now I’m spending my last days watching it all slip away.”He looked at you finally, eyes tired but clear. “Funny, huh? I lost my business, and now I’m losing my life. Life doesn’t take things from you gently. It r
