CHAPTER 87
“Can I go with the box too?” I asked calmly.The Vice President looked slightly surprised for a brief moment,then he nodded immediately without hesitation.“Of course,” he replied calmly. “Everything connected to the gemstone belongs to you now.”I slowly shifted my gaze toward the box,I quietly stepped closer toward it afterward before examining it more carefully.Then eventually, I looked back toward the Vice President again.“I need a favor,” I said calmly.The Vice President raised one eyebrow curiously.“What favor?”Instead of answering immediately, I simply lowered my eyes toward the gemstone and then toward the box silently.Instantly, realization crossed his face.“Oh,” he muttered softly.A faint chuckle escaped him afterward.“You want help carrying it.”I gave a slight nod.The Vice President slowly bent down and grabbed both sides carefully.The moment he attempted lifting it, even his expression changed faintly.“This thing is surprisingly heavy,” he muttered.I remaine
CHAPTER 86
I looked at the ring on my finger."It is calling to my ring."The moment those words left my mouth, the vice president stared at me.His brows slowly pulled together.For a brief moment, he looked uncertain whether I was serious.Then he glanced toward my ring."The gemstone is calling to your ring?" he repeated."Yes."The vice president laughed softly.It was not mocking.More like the polite laughter of a man trying to understand something unfamiliar."Well," he said, "I suppose I cannot argue with confidence."He folded his arms."But honestly, Leonard…"His smile remained."There are over a hundred boxes here."He gestured toward the shelves again."I believe this might take you longer to find than it would take me."I remained silent.The vice president continued speaking."You have not seen the box before."He shook his head."And I am the one who purchased it."His voice carried gentle amusement."I admire your confidence, but—"He never finished the sentence.Suddenly, my ha
CHAPTER 85
A few hours later, the vice president and I were once again returning to his suite.The same day that had nearly ended with his death had somehow brought us back together inside the same building. The poison incident still lingered heavily in my mind, though the tension that had earlier consumed the atmosphere had gradually settled into something quieter.I sat silently inside the car as we drove through the private entrance reserved for important guests.The vice president looked healthier now.The weakness that had earlier weighed down his face had mostly disappeared, and although traces of exhaustion still remained around his eyes, he carried himself with far greater strength than before.The vehicle finally slowed.Then it came to a stop.The vice president smiled and turned toward me."Shall we go in?" he asked politely.I looked at him briefly and nodded.We stepped out of the vehicle and made our way inside.As we walked through the hallway leading toward his private suite, I
CHAPTER 84
The room had finally become quiet.The chaos that had earlier consumed the vice president's ward had disappeared alongside the police officers who had escorted Sonia and Greg away. Their voices, arguments, and desperate protests had faded into the distance, leaving behind a heavy silence.I remained standing near the bed while the vice president sat upright against the pillows.The doctors had already completed their examinations and reluctantly left after confirming what they could hardly understand themselves…that he was completely stable.Now only the two of us remained.The vice president looked exhausted, though his complexion had regained its color. His breathing was steady, and the fear that had earlier clouded his face had gradually faded.For several moments, neither of us spoke.He simply looked at me.Then he released a long sigh."I owe you my life once again."His voice was quieter now.I remained silent.The vice president shook his head slowly."Honestly," he continued
CHAPTER 83
The doctor adjusted his glasses once again before looking directly at Sonia."Young lady," he said firmly, "it is not everything in this world that can be fully accounted for."His voice carried both patience and restrained annoyance, as though he were trying very hard to remain professional despite the disrespect he had just endured.Sonia folded her arms tightly across her chest.The doctor continued before she could interrupt him."Medicine is a science, yes," he said, "but even science does not claim to know everything. There are situations that challenge our understanding and force us to admit that human knowledge still has limits."As he spoke, he gestured toward the vice president, who now sat upright on the bed looking healthier than he had only moments earlier."What happened here is certainly unusual," the doctor continued, "but unusual does not automatically mean impossible."Sonia responded with a loud scoff.The doctor frowned, but instead of retreating from the confronta
CHAPTER 82
I stared at the vice president as his body twisted violently against the bed.The sight before me was chaotic and disturbing, and yet I remained calm. The cool plastic rested against my palm.Before anyone could stop me or question my actions, I stepped closer to the bed and gently lifted the vice president's head. Carefully, I brought the bottle toward his mouth and slowly tilted it.The water slid into his mouth.The effect was immediate.The very moment the water entered his system, everything changed.Only seconds earlier, the vice president had been screaming in unbearable agony, writhing violently as though his body were being torn apart from within. Yet almost instantly, he suddenly became calm.The transformation was so sudden that it seemed unreal.His body stopped twisting.The violent trembling that had seized him disappeared completely, and his strained breathing gradually steadied into a calm and natural rhythm. Even the horrifying cries that had filled the chamber mom
