“That’s impossible,” he murmured. “My wife supervises all of Sophia’s treatment.”
Maria lowered her eyes.
“That’s exactly why I was afraid to speak before,” she admitted. “But if nothing changes, your daughter may not survive the next few months.”
Victor didn’t sleep that night.
Instead, he ordered his private security team to begin a full investigation immediately.
They reviewed security footage from inside the mansion—cameras that had rarely been checked before.
What they discovered was horrifying.
Several recordings showed Victor’s wife, Lydia, quietly entering Sophia’s room when no medical staff were present.
In multiple clips, she replaced medication bottles with nearly identical ones.
Experts later confirmed that the substituted pills contained substances that slowly worsened kidney function.
The realization hit Victor like a physical blow.
Lydia was Sophia’s stepmother—and the sole heir to a massive trust fund if anything happened to the girl.
The medications were stopped immediately.
Sophia’s treatment plan was rebuilt from the beginning.
And something remarkable began to happen.
Within three days, the girl’s condition stabilized.
