"W-what? What did you say?"

The one who blurted in surprise wasn't Carmen nor Heather. Instead, it was the doctor.

She stared at Alex in distaste when she heard what he said..

Alex turned to the doctor and repeated himself, "I said I can fix his spine."

The doctor spat, "Who the hell do you think you are? Do you even know what a spine is? Do you realize how vital the spine is for the human body? Every doctor in the industry, no, in the world has trouble understanding and curing it. Have you considered how the patient's family would feel when you say irresponsible white lies like that?"

The doctor's questions shot out like bullets out of a machine gun, endless and fatal.

"That's my son-in-law, Alex. He's but a conman, doctor, so please don't take him seriously," explained Carmen when she saw the doctor being that angry. Carmen was holding her pain in as she spoke, though. Heather looked displeased as well. She complained, "Alex, please stop making a scene, okay? I don't care if you lie to others, but are you really going to lie to your own family as well?"

"You think I'm lying? Okay, fine, then you lot can prepare yourselves to tend to a paralyzed man for the rest of your lives," said Alex angrily as he scoffed.

At that, Alex took Stanley out of the hospital.

"Daddy, will uncle die?" asked Stanley suddenly when he was in the car.

Lucas was a great uncle to Stanley when the former was in a good mood, and he often bought toys for Stanley.

Lucas would only growl at Stanley when the former was in a bad mood.

Kids like Stanley didn't really keep track of all the times when others were mean to him, but he always took note to remember it well when others were nice to him. "No," answered Alex while shaking his head.

He wouldn't actually let Lucas turn paralyzed. He wasn't going to abandon Lucas even after Heather and the others made it clear that they didn't trust him. Still, he wouldn't be tending to the matter personally as well. He would ask Tyrael to step up.

The injury

Lucas' spine was medically impossible to cure, but it was just a matter of feeding Lucas a Pill of Vitality to Alex.

The Pill of Vitality could revive a person's Energy Field and prompt their bones to recover, so naturally, it could reconnect the spine as well.

That was how powerful the Pill of Vitality was, and that was also why modern medicine could not decipher the mystical properties of the Pill of Vitality.

Alex planned on replaceing Tyrael and giving him a Pill of Vitality. After that, Tyrael would, as requested by Alex, give Lucas the pill.

"Lucas got into a car accident, Granny, and I hear he's in a terrible condition. He might be paralyzed from the neck down," reported Jacob to Demi as soon as he received the news late that night. "How did he get into a car accident? And why was he hurt so badly?" asked Demi, who was shocked. She was about to sleep at the time but had since lost all mood.

Demi didn't favor Lucas or Heather. In fact, she didn't like then that much, but they were her grandchildren, so her heart was still broken.

"I heard that he and his friends went out for a drink. His friend drove while being drunk and went over the speed limit in the city area. They hit a small truck. His friend had his seatbelt on, so he only had some. minor injuries, but Lucas didn't strap in, so his spine got damaged. Likely, his life is over," replied Jacob, whose eyes shone with a hint of glee over Lucas' misfortune.

Heather had taken over Jennings Corporation over the past couple of months, and she promoted Lucas as the head of his department. Jacob, who used to the head of the corporation, had since been demoted to a middle manager, so he had been holding a grudge for a while.

His hatred for Heather and her family ran deep. He hoped they would all just drop dead.

When he heard about Lucas' accident, he had laughed aloud before he went to report the matter.

"How... how did this happen? Being paralyzed from the neck down meant that he is practically crippled. What will he do? Won't that basically turn him into a living dead?" said Demi sorrowfully.

"Yeah, he will live a life worse than death," commented Jacob as he suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"Mom, this may be an opportunity for us," said Jacob's father, Brian, as he walked in.
