Chajes wore an over-the-top bumble expression, all but shrugging off the family's astonishment.

The room, once filled with the quiet hum of relief, was now heavy with tense curiosity.

Dr. Vincent was still reeling from the shock when he practically shouted, "Of course! It was the Miracle Pill! That's why it worked so damn fast!"

Sophia's brow furrowed. "Miracle Pill? Are we supposed to know what that is?"

Vincent's eyes glistened with something close to fanatic awe.

"They call it a miracle for a reason. It's so rare, it practically doesn't exist. Legend says it was crafted by some old sage who lived-wait for it-five hundred years!"

His words set the Lancaster family abuzz. Some whispered in disbelief; others stared, transfixed

"And the person who got it from," Vincent added, voice low and dramatic, "claimed she nearly sold her soul just to lay hands on one."

A collective gasp rippled through the family.

A pill so powerful it could haul someone back from death's door? It sounded like the stuff of fever dreams.

"I even heard a single dose can go for over a hundred million dollars." Vincent's voice cracked under the weight of that staggering figure.

That revelation practically knocked the wind out of the room.

No one spoke, but the looks on their faces spoke volumes.

Then Jack broke the silence with an unfeeling snort. "What a damn waste," he muttered, every syllable dripping

contempt.

"All that money spent on an old man who won't be around much longer? Think of what we could've done for our kids our grandkids-if we'd sold it! But hey, guess we just toss money down the drain now, right?"

His words rang like a death knell.

A grim truth sank in. The hushed glances the Lancaster family exchanged turned pointed and suspicious.

It was as if, in unison, they shifted their hostility toward Alex, painting him as the villain who'd just squandered the family's golden ticket.

Vincent seized the moment, glaring at Alex with renewed confidence. "So that's how you pulled off your little magic trick. You took credit for something the Miracle Pill did. You're not a genius doctor-you're a con man."
