I stood quietly near the entrance of the hospital ward while the atmosphere around me grew heavier with every passing second.

The doctors and nurses continued moving urgently from one side of the room to another, but despite all their efforts, I could already sense the helplessness spreading through the entire ward.

The Vice President lay motionless on the hospital bed while oxygen tubes and monitoring equipment surrounded him from every direction.

His breathing remained dangerously unstable,

    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

    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

    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

    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

    It did not take long before the sound of police sirens echoed loudly outside the hospital building.The moment the sound reached Sonia’s ears, I saw her entire body freeze instantly.Her face lost what little color it still had left, and her breathing became ragged almost immediately.Honestly, the fear in her eyes at that moment was no longer ordinary panic.It was the kind of fear people felt when reality finally crushed every remaining hope they were desperately clinging to.“Oh God…” she whispered weakly.Then suddenly, she turned quickly toward her parents before rushing toward them almost desperately.“Mom… Dad…” she stammered shakily while grabbing both of them tightly. “What am I going to do now?”Her mother immediately held her shoulders firmly.“Sonia, calm down,” she said anxiously, although her own voice was trembling too.“How can I calm down?” Sonia cried emotionally. “The police are here!”Meanwhile, Greg stood nearby looking equally terrified now.Earlier, he had still

    And honestly, everyone knew he was a fraud.The next moment, before any other person could even speak, Alfred broke out and ran.Sonia’s scream echoed violently through the hospital ward the moment the reality of the situation finally sank into her mind. Even the nurses standing near the entrance froze briefly in shock because of how loud and desperate her voice sounded.“My money!” Sonia cried hysterically while clutching both sides of her head tightly. “Four hundred million dollars! We gave that fraud four hundred million dollars!”I remained standing quietly near the side of the room while watching her completely lose control emotionally.Her voice cracked violently toward the end as panic consumed her entirely.Meanwhile, several doctors had already rushed toward the hospital corridor after Alfred Winston escaped from the ward. One of the senior doctors immediately grabbed his phone before shouting furiously toward the hospital security personnel nearby.“Seal every exit immedia
