Chapter 103
Laurent slowly sat up in bed, his eyes darting around the room with confusion as he took in the tense atmosphere. The color had returned to his cheeks, and his breathing was steady and normal. The transformation was nothing short of miraculous - one moment he had been at death's door, and now he appeared completely healthy.Emilia rushed to his side, tears of relief streaming down her face as she embraced her brother. "Laurent! Oh thank God, you're awake! I was so scared I was going to lose you!"Laurent patted her back weakly, still disoriented from his ordeal. "What happened to me? I feel strange, but... better somehow."Keith watched the reunion with cold satisfaction, his arms crossed as he stood near the window. Linda packed up her medical supplies efficiently, preparing for their departure now that their business was concluded."Keith," Emilia said suddenly, turning away from Laurent with hope shining in her eyes. "The antidote you gave Laurent - did it also heal his original si

"Our home means nothing if Laurent is dead!" Edward exploded, his voice cracking with emotion. "Don't you understand that? Without Laurent, what's the point of keeping anything?"Keith nodded approvingly. "A wise decision. But I want it in writing. Legal documents, with witnesses, so you can never twist the agreement later.""What do you mean?" Edward asked warily.Keith pulled out his phone and dialed Linda's number. "Linda? Yes, it's me. I need you to contact that lawyer we discussed... Yes, immediately... I need legal documents prepared for the Richardson family to sign."Emilia listened with growing horror as Keith continued his conversation."I want a complete transfer of ownership for the Richardson mansion," Keith said into the phone. "And a binding agreement for the return of all funds taken from my accounts... Yes, I want it ironclad. No loopholes, no escape clauses.""Keith, please," Emilia begged. "Don't do this to us."Keith held up a hand for silence as he finished his ca
CHAPTER 102 PART 1
The grandfather clock in the Richardson mansion's living room ticked away the minutes with agonizing precision.Three hours had passed since Laurent collapsed into his coma, and the atmosphere in the room had grown suffocatingly tense.The medical equipment continued its steady beeping, the only sound breaking through the heavy silence that had settled over everyone present.Edward paced back and forth across the marble floor like a caged animal, his expensive shoes clicking against the stone with each step.His face was drawn and haggard, the confident patriarch who had welcomed Keith with such arrogance now looking like a broken man wrestling with impossible choices.Emilia remained seated beside Laurent's bed, her tears long since dried up, leaving only red-rimmed eyes and streaks of mascara down her cheeks.She stared at her brother's motionless form, occasionally reaching out to touch his hand as if willing him back to consciousness.Keith stood near the window, perfectly still a
CHAPTER 101 PART 2
The police officers left, their footsteps echoing through the mansion's grand hallway. Dr. Henderson packed up his equipment quickly, clearly eager to escape the toxic atmosphere."I'll be filing my report about this incident," Dr. Henderson said nervously. "The medical board will need to investigate what happened here.""Don't bother," Dr. Matthews said dismissively. "There's nothing to investigate. The patient had an unexplained reaction to a routine procedure. It happens sometimes."Dr. Matthews gathered his own equipment, his movements brisk and professional. "Mr. Richardson, I suggest you focus on finding a long-term care facility for your son. He's going to need specialized attention.""You're all abandoning us," Emilia whispered, watching the doctors prepare to leave."We're not abandoning you," Dr. Matthews replied coldly. "We're simply acknowledging our limitations. Modern medicine can't cure everything, young lady."Within minutes, both doctors had left, taking most of their
CHAPTER 101 PART 1
Keith maintained his composed posture as the police officers continued their questioning, his calm demeanor a stark contrast to the Richardson family's increasing desperation.The room felt charged with tension, everyone waiting for someone to provide answers that made sense.Officer Bradley looked between Keith and the Richardson family with growing confusion."Mr. Cross, you're saying you had absolutely no hand in Laurent's current condition?""None whatsoever," Keith replied steadily."I was coerced into coming here today, threatened with continued theft from my bank accounts if I refused to donate blood. I gave Laurent the same blood I've been giving him for years."Edward's face was flushed with frustration as he stepped forward, gesturing wildly."Officer, that makes no sense! If Keith's blood has been compatible with my son for years, what could possibly cause these complications now?""I don't know," Keith replied with a slight shrug. "Medical mysteries happen all the time.""
CHAPTER 100 PART 2
The call ended, and Emilia turned to glare at Keith with triumphant satisfaction. "You think you're so smart? Let's see how smart you are when you're sitting in a jail cell."Keith's expression didn't change. "And what exactly are you going to tell them?""The truth!" Emilia declared. "That you poisoned my brother!""Did I?" Keith asked mildly. "Because I distinctly remember being forced to come here under threat of financial ruin. I remember being coerced into donating blood to Laurent against my will. I remember being blackmailed and humiliated by your family."Edward looked up from his chair, hope flickering in his eyes. "The police will make you talk. They'll force you to give us the antidote.""Will they?" Keith asked. "On what grounds? What crime have I committed?""Poisoning!" Emilia shrieked."Prove it," Keith said calmly.For the next two hours, the mansion was filled with tense waiting. Edward paced back and forth like a caged animal, checking on Laurent every few minutes. E
