They made it to one of the biggest hotels in Vancouver in record time, with Lyra setting a brisk pace and offering no explanation.

"Mr. Alex, I'm glad you could make it!" Joe said, standing up the moment Alex and Lyra stepped inside.

The old man's voice still carried warmth despite his recent brush with death. "How're you feeling, Mr. Thompson?" Alex asked.

"Can't complain," Joe replied with a grateful nod. "I owe it all to you. Frankly, I wouldn't be breathing if not for that pill you gave me."

"It was nothing," Alex said humbly. He still remembered Lyra telling him how desperately her father had needed the

She motioned to the muscular man.
