Three days later a specialized medical team arrived at the Vance estate.
They began a rigorous physical therapy program inside the sunlit gym room.
Arthur worked tirelessly every single morning to rebuild his leg strength.
The toxic drugs were slowly washing out of his bloodstream each day.
Sensation began returning to his toes and ankles sooner than expected.
Lily sat on the padded bench watching her father practice his exercises.
Lily: You can do it Daddy push hard!
Arthur: I am trying my best sweet girl.
The physical therapist held Arthur by his leather support belt firmly.
Arthur gritted his teeth and pushed his feet against the floor.
A sudden wave of prickling heat shot up through his leg muscles.
He managed to lift his right heel two inches off the ground.
Therapist: That is incredible progress for just three days sir!
Arthur: I will walk without help before Lily birthday next month.
Meanwhile Captain Miller worked hard to dismantle the entire conspiracy criminal network.
Richard had admitted everything during his long police interrogation downtown.
He had paid Dr. Evans thousands of dollars each month to administer poison.
They had planned to secure full legal custody of the family trust fund.
Arthur corporate lawyers filed emergency motions to revoke Richard voting authority.
The board of directors voted unanimously to restore Arthur as chief executive.
Justice was moving swiftly to protect Arthur family and great legacy.
Every evening Arthur spent hours in therapy refining his balance control.
Lily brought her small water bowl to his room every single night.
She carefully washed his feet just like she had done before.
Lily: My special water is working so good Daddy.
Arthur: Your love is the best medicine in the whole world.
By the end of the third week Arthur stood up completely alone.
He gripped the wooden parallel bars tightly with both of his hands.
He took one slow shaky step forward across the blue mat.
Then he took a second step without losing his balance at all.
Tears of pure excitement filled his eyes as he took a third.
Arthur: Look Lily I am walking again!
Lily clapped her small hands joyfully and jumped up and down.
Lily: I knew you would do it Daddy!
