A mix of admiration and concern filled Alexander’s heart. Here was a child who had risked everything to save him. “Where are your parents, Ethan?”

Ethan’s eyes grew distant, a shadow passing over his face. “I don’t have any. Not anymore. I’ve been on my own for a while now.”

Just then, a woman, part of Alexander’s security detail, approached with an update. “Sir, we’ve reviewed the security footage. The woman matches the description given by Ethan. We’re working with authorities to track her down.”

“Thank you,” Alexander replied, feeling a sense of resolve. Whoever had tried to poison him would be brought to justice. But for now, his focus was on the boy who had become an unexpected hero.

“Ethan, let’s get you cleaned up, and I’ll introduce you to my team. I think you’ll like them.”

Ethan grinned, a genuine smile that for the first time in a long while, reached his eyes. As they left the café together, Alexander felt a renewed sense of purpose. Life had thrown a challenge his way, and in overcoming it, he had found something far more rewarding—a chance to change a life for the better.
