I looked over at Grant.
He wasn’t dying naturally.
Someone was trapping him inside his own body, suffocating him in slow motion. And the nephew standing to inherit millions walked in every single day to ask how much time was left.
I reached out and took Grant’s cold hand. “I’m not going to let them kill you.”
His fingers mustered a faint, trembling squeeze against my wrist.
In that quiet room, I realized I had just stepped into something far more dangerous than losing a job. But I had no idea what was waiting for me next…
Part 2
My silent war against Julian began that very night.
Every time Dr. Barragan left, I carefully monitored Grant’s vitals and subtly flushed his IV line to dilute the paralytic. I documented every dosage, noted every shift in his vitals, and took discreet photos of the unlabeled ampoules.
Without the full poison in his system, Grant’s recovery was astonishing.
