    Chapter 11


    An hourter. Lea’s <b>car </b>stopped before Lake Vi


    Due to the heavy rain, the sky <b>was </b>already <b>dark</b><b>, </b>even at seven o’clock, shrouded in twilight and gloom.


    Lea got out of the <b>car </b>and walked to the iron gate, drenched in rain, and reached out to press the doorbell.


    After a moment, the door opened, and Eddie came to the entrance holding an umbre. Seeing her appearance, he was <b>taken </b>aback and quickly held the umbre over her.


    “Mr. Alfred… in’t here. We also have to leave for some businesses. Let me take you to the hotel. He’lle for <b>you </b>when he’s done,” said Eddie.


    Lea stood still, silent.


    Eddie handed the umbre to her and soon drove the car over and invited her in.


    The car left the vi, moving forward. <b>Rain </b>droplets pattered on the leaves along the shaded road


    sed a firm resolve.


    “Eddie, stop the car.” Lea’s tone was <b>calm </b>but carried a


    Eddie pondered, “Why did this girl have the samepelling aura as Alfred?” He forced a smile. “Miss Lea, the hotel is just ahead”


    “If you <b>leave</b>, can Craig alone protect Mr. Alfred well? Lea asked.


    Eddie’s hand slipped, and the car swerved, <b>pulling </b>up at the roadside abruptly.


    <b>His </b>voice trembled. “W–what do you mean?”


    “Assassins, right?” said Lea


    “How… how <b>do </b><b>you </b>know?” asked Eddie in terror.


    “I investigated. He <b>is </b>here.” If it weren’t a matter of life and death, he wouldn’t avoid seeing her.


    “There are infrared defense devices installed <b>at </b>the <b>vi </b>gate, the kind used by some presidents in other countries,” said <b>Eddie</b>.


    In her previous life, after realizing her dire situation, she escaped and encountered the severely injured <b>Alfred </b>by the <b>roadside</b>, finding him wounded from <b>an </b>assassination attempt.


    It <b>happened </b><b>just </b>a few hourster.


    That was why <b>she </b>intentionally left the Berry family toe here.


    “Miss Lea, you… got it wrong” Eddie said, thinking to himself. ‘How could <b>a </b>liule girl like her know that?’


    “I work in artificial intelligence,” said Lea.


    Eddie fell silent upon hearing her words


    After Christian’s birthday party yesterday, they had already investigated her, and coupled with the hospital’s examination report, he knew she was telling the truth.


    “Eddie.” Lea spoke softly but firmly. “Mr. Alfred was the first person in this world to care about me.”


    Lea thought. The one who cared most about me and the one I care about the <b>mou</b>


    She added, “I won’t allow anything to happen to him”


    Eddie turned sharply to look at her. She looked even younger than her age, her small <b>face </b>swollen from wounds<b>, </b>and her wet hair clung <b>to </b>her face, appearing <b>frail </b>and disheveled. But she possessed an unbreakable determination.


    He suddenly realized that the bond between her and Alfred was far deeper and heavier than he had perceived.


    The rain outside the car grew heavier, and the sky darkened rapidly.


    Two hourster, in the vi’s study, Alfred sat in front of hisputer, <b>his </b>gaze fixed on the <b>work </b>documents on the screen, his expression focused. The blue light from the screen reflected in his jet–ck eyes, glowing lingluly.

    The room was silent, breaths audible.


    Outside the floor–to–ceiling window, raindrops pattered on the leaves, creating a disquieting rhythm.


    Shadows danced under themplight.

    He hated having his work interrupted, so he stood up in the <b>dark </b>and walked out to the living room.


    “<b>Craig</b>, check the <b>circuit </b>and restart the power,” said Alfred


    “Yes, Mr. Alfred” Craig, who <b>had </b>been ying a mobile game on the sofa, headed to the stairwell.


    Alfred stood by the <b>floor</b><b>–</b>to–ceiling window, waiting for the power to return, his silhouette outlined by the night outside the ss.


    Suddenly, a shadow fell, swallowing his reflection. He felt a chill at the back of his neck.


    “Bang” He copsed heavily to the ground.


    “Mr. Alfred, Mr. Alfred Craiz eximed.


    In the stairwell, <b>Craig </b>called out, <b>receiving </b>no response. <b>A </b>shadow pounced on him as he emerged<b>, </b>knocking him down the stairs. Followed by the sound of a body hitting the floor.

    Lea pushed open the door, <b>seeing </b>three people lying scattered on the floor. She turned and saw the man standing by the window.


    “Alfred!” As she called out, her body swayed, dizziness overtaking her, and she was about to fall.


    “Hold your breath Alfred urgently reminded her.


    The air contained a mist that could <b>cause </b>unconsciousness upon <b>inhtion</b>.


    He’s okay. Thank goodness! Lea held her breath, tears welling up as she ran toward him.


    <b>Just </b><b>as </b>she reached the window, she heard <b>a </b><b>“</b><b>bang</b>” and fell into his arms<b>, </b>clutching him tightly.

    “Lea!” Alfred cried out


    A shadow leaped in through the broken window, a <b>knife </b>glearning in the dim light, aiming straight for him


    “Mr. Alfred” Craig shouted, getting up, but his foot was grabbed by the assant he had knocked down earlier.


    Though affected by the drug, these <b>assassins </b>were no ordinary people and weren’t fully unconscious

    Lea fell to the ground, looking up to see Alfred lighting the assassin, his eyes bloodshot, face contorted, seemingly impervious to pain<b>.</b>


    She was terrified.


    This frenzied, berserk Alfred was irrational, like a killing machine.


    The two wrestled on the floor. He seized the knife from the assassin and shed at his neck, blood sttering his face.


    He suddenly copsed, convulsing


    The assassin, still alive, drew a gun <b>from </b>his waistband, aiming at him.
