The glowing light slowly faded after two intense minutes of total silence.
Chloe moved her foot upward by two inches for the first time in years.
The surrounding guests began clapping their hands in utter astonishment.
Richard fell to his knees beside his daughter while holding her small hand.
Tears rolled down the wealthy father's cheeks as he looked at the young boy.
Richard: How did you do this?
Leo: My grandfather created this device twenty years ago.
Richard: Who was your grandfather?
Leo: Dr. Arthur Vance.
Richard froze instantly when he heard that familiar name spoken aloud.
Arthur Vance had been his former business partner in medical research long ago.
They had built the Montgomery Medical Company together from a small local garage.
However, corrupt corporate lawyer Donald Vance had stolen the original patents.
Donald had tricked Arthur out of his shares and bankrupted the gifted scientist.
Richard had always assumed Arthur had abandoned the project out of greed.
He never knew that Arthur had died penniless while continuing his light therapy research.
Leo reached into his coat pocket and pulled out an old envelope.
Leo: My grandfather left this letter inside his last will.
Richard: What does it say?
Leo: It proves your lawyer forged the medical patents years ago.
Richard took the yellow paper with trembling fingers.
He read through the handwritten lines signed by his old friend Arthur.
The document contained exact blueprints for the thermal nerve recovery device.
It also showed how Donald had redirected millions from the family trust fund.
Richard looked up toward the balcony where lawyer Donald was standing.
Donald turned pale and quickly walked away toward the side staircase.
Richard: Stop him right now!
Two security guards moved fast to block the exit doors near the lobby.
