“STOP DRINKING THAT JUICE, YOU WILL BE BETTER” — THEY SAID

“STOP DRINKING THAT JUICE, YOU’LL BE BETTER” — DOCTOR SAYS HE CAN’T WALK ANYMORE… BUT 5-YEAR-OLD CHILD REVEALS THE SECRET THAT ALMOST KILLED HIM!
Don Miguel is a billionaire who was in a car accident six months ago. Since then, his legs have been paralyzed. His personal doctor, Dr. Sanchez, said, “There’s nothing we can do, Don Miguel. This is permanent damage. You won’t be able to walk for the rest of your life.”

Because of this, Don Miguel becomes depressed. The only one who takes care of him is his second wife, Vicky. Vicky seems kind and caring. Every morning, she herself prepares a “Special Herbal Juice” for her husband.

“Drink this, Mahal,” Vicky said sweetly. “It’s from abroad. It will boost your immunity.”

Because of his trust, Don Miguel drank it every day. But instead of getting stronger, he only got weaker and more sleepy.

In the mansion, there was a maid named Aling Nena. She had a 5-year-old son, Boknoy. Boknoy often played in the garden near Don Miguel’s room.

One afternoon, Boknoy saw Vicky in the kitchen. Vicky thought there was no one there. Boknoy saw Vicky take a small package from her bra and pour the white powder into Don Miguel’s juice. Then, she threw the package in the trash.

Being young and curious, Boknoy took the package from the trash. It had a drawing of a skull on it.

The next day, Vicky brought Don Miguel juice to the veranda again.

“Drink it, Mahal,” Vicky ordered.

Don Miguel was about to drink the juice when Boknoy suddenly ran over and knocked over the glass!

SPLASH!

The juice spilled on the floor and the expensive carpet.

“Boknoy?!” Don Miguel shouted in shock.

“You shameless child!” Vicky shouted, tugging at Boknoy’s ear. “Why did you throw away your Sir Miguel’s medicine?!”

Boknoy was crying but he turned to Don Miguel.

“Sir! Don’t drink that!” the child cried. “Stop drinking that juice, you’ll get better! Because… Ma’am Vicky is putting poison in it! The one with the skull drawing!”

Vicky turned pale. “Liar! What poison?! That’s vitamins! Miguel, don’t believe that kid! He’s just the maid’s son!”

But Don Miguel was already suspicious. He noticed a rat that came out of the pot of the plant. The rat licked the spilled juice on the floor.

In just a few seconds, the rat convulsed and died!

Don Miguel’s eyes widened. He turned to his wife angrily.

“Vitamins, huh?!” Don Miguel shouted.

Vicky was about to run but her bodyguards caught her when they heard her scream.

Don Miguel called the police and another doctor. Don Miguel’s blood was tested and it was found to be positive for Neurotoxin—a poison that gradually kills nerves and muscles, making him unable to walk. This is what Vicky mixed into the juice every day, in collusion with Dr. Sanchez, so that Don Miguel would die slowly and they could get the wealth.

Vicky and Dr. Sanchez were arrested.

When Don Miguel stopped drinking the juice, the strength in his legs gradually returned. After a few months of therapy, he was standing again.

As a thank you, Don Miguel sent Boknoy to the best school and gave Aling Nena a house and land.

“Thank you, Boknoy,” Don Miguel said as he walked towards the boy. “If it weren’t for your courage, I would be in the pit right now.”

The little boy they thought was ignorant, ended up being the billionaire’s savior.

THE END.
