The heavy doors to the intensive care room swung open quietly.
Sarah was sitting up in bed with an oxygen tube in place.
Her skin had regained its natural warmth and healthy color again.
Leo: Mom!
Leo ran into the quiet room and threw his arms around her.
Sarah held her young son tightly against her chest with tears flowing.
Sarah: Oh, my sweet boy, I am so glad to hold you.
Richard: How are you feeling right now, Sarah?
Sarah: The doctor said they neutralised the substance in my body just in time.
Leo: Dad tried to hurt you because of the insurance money papers.
Sarah looked at her brother with a deeply saddened expression.
Sarah: I knew something was wrong when he insisted on making tea.
Richard: The police have him in custody at the central police station.
Sarah: He was deeply in debt because of failed business investments overseas.
Richard: He thought he could solve his problems by taking everything you owned.
Sarah: I trusted him for years, but he only cared about wealth.
Leo reached out and squeezed his mother's warm hand tightly.
Leo: You never have to be afraid of him ever again, Mom.
Sarah: Thanks to your quick thinking, we are both safe now, Leo.
A detective knocked gently on the open door frame and stepped inside.
Detective: Mrs. Miller, we have gathered clear evidence from your home study.
Sarah: Will he be facing serious criminal charges for his actions?
Detective: Yes, he is being charged with attempted murder and fraud.
Sarah let out a long breath of relief and closed her eyes.
Sarah: Justice will finally be served for everything he did to us.
