Chapter 6 - Caleb Discovers Suspicious Records From Private Clinics
While Elena rested under heavy medical sedation, Caleb stepped out into the quiet corridor to speak with the lead trauma surgeon.
Dr. Hayes handed him a thick medical clipboard containing Elena’s toxicology and emergency admittance lab results.
“Mr. Vance, your wife’s system contained massive doses of tetrodotoxin—a paralytic agent that mimics clinical death perfectly,” the doctor explained.
“Clinical death? Someone poisoned her to make the medical examiner sign a false death certificate?” Caleb asked, his blood boiling.
“Not just poisoned; someone with high-level medical clearance monitored her vitals while she was locked inside that vault,” Dr. Hayes revealed.
Caleb scanned the notes, noticing a recurring signature from a private research clinic funded by Vanguard Pharmaceuticals.
“Vanguard... that’s my own corporate investment partner’s experimental pharmaceutical division,” Caleb realized with sudden horror.

“Whoever orchestrated this wanted her legally declared dead before anyone could audit her personal trust holdings,” the doctor warned gravely.
The realization struck Caleb like a physical blow: his inner circle had engineered his wife’s murder for financial control.
