The room fell into stunned silence after witnessing Elizabeth’s miraculous revival.
Alex reached into his coat pocket and retrieved a small, unremarkable pill, placing it gently between Elizabeth’s lips.
With practiced care, he helped her swallow.
Charles looked like a man who had just watched his entire world crumble.
He had orchestrated every possible detail to hasten his grandmother’s demise
and claim the inheritance his father had long denied him.
Yet here was Alex, undoing all of his schemes in an instant.
In a surge of desperation, Charles leveled a furious glare at Dr. Yorck.
Frightened, the doctor realized that if he failed to act, his life would be forfeit.
Slowly, Yorick forced himself upright, eyes alight with rage. He snatched a surgical knife from the nearby tray a Alex.
“Die, you devil!” Yorick shrieked, his face contorted in rage.
“You’ve made a deal with the devil to raise the dead-no human could do what you just did p>
A wave of shocked gasps swept through the room.
Charles’s lips curved into a momentary smile, convinced the knife would sink into Alex’s stomach.
But it didn’t. The knife ripped through Alex’s shirt and stopped cold against his skin.
Yorick stared in disbelief. “What are you p>
Alex’s cold smile never wavered. “Your worst nightmare p>
and charged at
Two of Jasmine’s bodyguards rushed forward, wrenching Yorick’s arms behind
him. One delivered a punishing blow to his jaw.
“How dare you attack Mr. Alex!” the guard bellowed.
Yorick flailed, shrieking in panic, blood dribbling from his mouth.
“No! It was an accident-I tripped! I didn’t p>
-“His pleas were drowned out by the onslaught of fists.
“Stop!” Yorick screamed. “It wasn’t my idea p>
He tried to look to Charles for help, but Charles cut him off with a boot on his neck. The sickening crack that followed ended any further attempts at speech.
Yorick’s eyes bulged, then dimmed as he went still.
A hush fell over the room.
Charles straightened, brushing off his sleeve as though he’d simply dispatched a pest.
“How dare he try to kill the one who saved our family? Betrayal like that can’t go unpunished p>
Yorick’s lifeless eyes stared up at him, hatred frozen on his face, but Charles felt only relief.
At least now his secrets would remain buried.
Suddenly, a raspy cough rattled from the bed. Elizabeth’s eyelids fluttered open.
“She’s awake p>

Everyone froze in disbeller as the monitors reflected stable, perfet ly normal vitals.
Even the doctors stood wide-eyed,
“That’s amazing! Grandmother is awake!” Charles exclaimed.
Elizabeth’s gaze swept the room, full of confusion. “What on earth is going on p>
Alex met her gaze calmly. “Not much, ma’am. It just seems someone had a motive to see you gone someone who stood to gain a lot from your will p>
Elizabeth’s piercing eyes listed
“Charles p>
“No, Nana!” Charles exclaimed, hurrying to her bedside.
He pulled her into a tight embrace, his voice quivering with emotion. “He’s lying! I did everything I could to save you-l brought in the best doctors, but he turned out to be a fraud p>
Charles’s eyes filled with desperation. “It was all an accident, Nana I swear. I love you-you’re the only family I have left. You know that p>
Elizabeth looked uncertain, turning to Alex again. “And who are you, exactly?” Jasmine hurried to Alex’s side, looping her arm through his.
‘Nana, this is Alex-my boyfriend. You’ve been asking when I’d finally bring him to meet you. He’s the one who saved your life. What do you think about my man p>
A faint smile crossed Elizabeth’s lips as she raised a trembling hand, giving a shaky thumbs-up. “Don’t… let him slip away, young lady p>
Jasmine’s eyes glistened. “I won’t, Nana. I promise p>
She wrapped her arms around Alex, clinging to him as relief swept through her.
Alex awkwardly patted her shoulder, still unused to such displays of affection.
It was clear she wasn’t his girlfriend, but that wasn’t something he could admit in front of her grandmother.
Just then, a raw shout tore through the air.
“You snake, Charles p>
Everyone spun around.
It was Yorick-battered and bleeding but somehow upright, pointing a trembling finger at Charles.
“You paid me a million dollars to sabotage her treatment, and now you want me dead? I’ll tell everyone what you’ve done p>
Charles went ashen.
“How dare you accuse me!” he shouted, lunging forward as Yorick sprinted down the hallway.
But the fake doctor slipped past him.
Behind them, doors slammed and voices rose.
Charles’s desperate chase had begun-his darkest secrets spilling out for all to hear.
Meanwhile, in another location, Chris Roland stood in front of twenty men, all clad
in high-tech gear and elite black-ops uniforms, ready for a high-paying mission.

“Jasmine Kingston,” Chris announced coldly. “I want her dead. Ten million for anyone who takes her down. And someone named Alex-I’m offering thirty million for him p>
Suddenly, his smartwatch buzzed.
He picked it up and answered curtly, “What? Alright, I’ll handle it,
He turned back to his team, his expression grim. “One more target A man named
