The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 76

"It's working," Lyra whispered, her voice barely audible.

Her father, Joe Thompson, with some effort, managed to sit up. He swung his legs over the side of the bed.

"It's like a miracle," he murmured.

Lyra captured each precious moment on video, her mind racing with possibilities.

This was more than she had ever dared to hope for.

For the wealthy, nothing was more priceless than their health.

"Father, I'll go call Mom," Lyra said, standing up.

She quietly left the room, her heart pounding with excitement.

Meanwhile, Joe glanced at the smartphone beside his bed.

After being confined for so long, his mind was churning with thoughts. Taking a deep breath, he dialed a number he hadn't called in years.

"Alfred Kingston?" he said when the line connected.

"Joe Thompson?" Alfred's voice held a note of shock.

Joe had once been his fiercest competitor in Vancouver. "I heard you were bedridden after a stroke."

"My daughter obtained a medicine from a legendary doctor known as 'God's Hand.' I'm healed now," Joe explained, a hint of humility breaking through his usual demeanor.

Alfred knew of God's Hand. "Why are you calling me?"

"Use me," Joe said, swallowing his pride.

"I heard you've moved to Los Angeles, leaving your daughter to handle Vancouver. If there's any role I can fill, let me help. I have nothing else to do."

Everyone in Vancouver knew that Alfred and Joe were sworn enemies, as incompatible as fire and water.

For Joe to ask to work for him-it was a staggering gesture, setting aside a lifetime of rivalry.
