A Paralyzed Millionaire Mocked a Poor Boy’s Promise—Then His Legs Began to Burn — Part 2

Previously: When a wealthy man in a wheelchair mockingly promises a million dollars to a poor boy who claims he can heal him, a single touch changes both of their lives forever.

The sensation was unlike anything Charles had felt in a decade. It wasn't pain, but a roaring, electric heat that chased away the cold numbness that had imprisoned him for so long.

"Charles? How is this possible?" Julian stammered, his voice laced with panic.

The young boy stood his ground, looking coldly at Julian. "He is walking because his nerves were released," the boy said. "My father developed the treatment specifically for him before he died."

Charles stared at the child. "Who is your father?"

"Dr. Alan Sterling," the boy replied, pulling a worn leather journal from his jacket. "My name is Liam. My father didn't die in an accidental house fire three years ago. He was murdered because he discovered who sabotaged your car ten years ago, Charles. And it's all written in this journal."

Liam pointed directly at Julian. Panic-stricken, Julian ordered his security guards to seize the child and the journal. "He's a fraud! Grab that book now!" Julian screamed, his facade completely shattering in front of the entire restaurant.
