"I feel amazing. Like I've got energy for days—how do I even put it…"
Sofia searched for the right words, eyes bright as she chased the sensation in her mind.
"It's like… something new got poured straight into me. Like someone injected me with a second life."
She swallowed, almost in disbelief.
"I haven't felt like this since before the car crash. And even then… only when I was young."
With Andres around, Sofia had kept herself on a tight leash—she'd promised Maeve she wouldn't let anything slip.
But the second her son left the room, she turned into her unfiltered, enthusiastic self, eagerly telling Maeve every little change her body had gone through this past week.
She never would've imagined the seven pills Maeve had left her last time would be this… unreal.
Miracle pills didn't even cover it.
If her legs would cooperate a little more, she half suspected she could take off and fly.
Maeve liked women like Sofia—genuine, unpretentious, emotionally intelligent. The kind who knew what to say and when to say it.
No wonder Caden White, the infamous heartbreaker, had finally hung up his playboy hat for her.
Even Maeve, as a woman, found Sofia hard to resist. For men, it had to be worse.
"Sofia," Maeve said gently, "steady your emotions. Let me check your pulse first."
She took Sofia's wrist, fingers resting lightly against her skin.
The pulse told the truth: Sofia's overall condition really had improved—dramatically.
"Did you do what I told you?" Maeve asked. "After seven days, did you have Dr. Foster run a full checkup?"
Sofia nodded so fast she nearly bounced.
"I did. And it completely shocked Dr. Foster."
"He kept asking me how it was possible. I stuck to our agreement—I didn't tell him a single word."
Sofia was naïve, not stupid.
She'd already started to suspect those seven pills carried a kind of impossible effect—something that could manufacture miracles.
And miracles were exactly the kind of thing that needed fewer witnesses, not more.
Seeing how carefully Sofia protected the secret, guilt pricked at Maeve.
