    Chapter 18


    As <b>dawn </b>broke, Alfred woke up and his first task <b>was </b>to find Lea


    She wasn’t at thekeside vi, and they searched the entire city.


    A hacker found some information online that she had gone to the police station to file a repors and checked into the Sedrin Hotel, but she was


    nowhere to be found.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Alfred then brought them here.


    It was quite unbelievable.


    Lorrand had just finished tidying up his tools and looked at her


    ‘She’s


    <b>my</b>


    friend,” <b>said </b>Lorrand.


    He breathed a sigh of relief


    Lea went forward to open the door <b>and </b><b>saw </b>Eddie, <b>along </b>with a car parked outside.


    The car door opened, and Alfred stepped out.


    He had already changed into a new outfit, <b>a </b>ck silk <b>shirt </b>that was spotless<b>, </b><b>contrasting </b>sharply with his cold white skin. His hand was wrapped in bandages, which made him appear even more cold and severe.


    “Miss Lea!” Alfred asked.


    Eddie looked at Lea in front of him, dressed in arge blue surgical <b>gown </b>and wearing <b>a </b>surgical cap, looking like a doctor who <b>had </b>just finished


    He couldn’t believe this was the same person who had fought alongside them against the enemyst night, got injured<b>, </b>and then drappeared.


    Lea acknowledged with a “mm.”


    Alfred had already bent down to enter<b>, </b>surveyed the clinic, and noticed Lorrand emerging from the inner room, scrutinizing him more intently.


    Seeing him still in his surgical gown, with <b>gloves </b>stained with blood, it was evident they had just finished surgery


    “Is there a patient!” Alfred walked to Lea’s side, his hand naturally resting on the back of her head, rubbing it gently, his breathing steadying<b>, </b>and his entire demeanor softened


    Feeling the firm yet gentle pressure of his hand, with its uniquely warm palm, <b>Lea’s </b>eyes grew warm.


    She nodded <b>with </b>a “mm<b>” </b>–


    The surrounding men were startled, witnessing the normally fierce and assertive girl bing docile under the man’s touch.


    Lorrand, being experienced, immediately recognized the unusual rtionship between Lea and this man


    <b>Craig </b>looked at Eddie in surprise. “Has Mr. Alfred won over the girl?”


    Eddie remained silent


    Alfred retracted his hand and walked into the inner room, seeing Yannis lying on the bed.


    His upper body was bare, the bandaged chest still oozing blood, indicating a very dangerous <b>surgery</b>.


    Alfred turned to <b>look </b>at Lea, a hint of surprise in his eyes, followed by a proud smile.


    He was proud of himself, and Lea’s eyes also brightened.


    “I’ve already called Mr. Wessen toe and transfer the patient to your hospital for recuperation,” she said softly, her tone inquiring.


    “Very good.” Alfred was very satisfied with this arrangement.


    She introduced Lorrand to him. “Dr. Phoenix is a rare <b>cardiologist</b>. Your hospital should hire him; you won’t <b>regret </b>it


    “Mm, you won’t let me down,” Alfred said.

    She smiled with delight


    The three men around them, with empty stomachs early in the morning, suddenly felt full from the disy of affection


    Lea introduced the Andrews Group Hospital to Lorrand


    Soon, people sent by Charles arrived, bringing an ambnce


    The medical staff lifted Yannis onto the <b>ambnce</b>, and Lorrand also got on with his daughter.


    The child, having taken medicine, was much better and slept soundly <b>in </b>her father’s arms.


    Watching the ambnce drive away


    “Let’s go to my home first.” Alfred turned around, just in time to see Lea copse.


    He swiftly caught her in his arms.


    She had been seriously injuredst night, hadn’t rested, and the surgery had <b>drained </b>a lot of her energy, causing her to faint.


    He anxiously camed her into the car, Eddie closed the door and got in.


    Craig drove towards thekeside vi.


    In the car, Lea nestled softly in Alfred’s arms, her small face buried in his <b>chest</b>, behaving unusually docile and obedient.


    Eddie <b>and </b>Craig were taken aback as if the brave person who fought fearlessly against enemiesst night was just an illusion.


    Lea <b>was </b>awakened by the noise,


    She slowly opened her eyes to see a warm white ceiling, the intricate and elegant decor pleasing to the eye. The bed shey on was veryfortable, making her feel like she <b>was </b>lying <b>on </b>soft clouds.


    Her body hadn’t experienced suchfort in a long time.


    Taking a breath, she smelled a pleasant scent


    It was <b>Alfred’s </b>scent


    This <b>was </b>his bedroom.


    She hugged the nket<b>, </b>breathing in greedily, feeling inexplicably happy.


    Then she <b>got </b>out of bed, walked barefoot to the window, and pulled back the curtains.


    It was already dusk, the orange–red sunset filling the garden.


    A silver–<b>ck </b>extended Luxora car was parked in the garden, belonging to her <b>grandfather</b>. <b>Outside </b>stood the driver and <b>bodyguards</b>, all from the Berry <b>family’s </b>old <b>house</b><b>.</b>


    She heard <b>Christian’s </b>voice downstairs.


    “Alfred, although I have a life–and–death friendship with your grandfather, this is our family business, and you shouldn’t interfere.”


    Although the Berry family was the leader in Vaporleon City,pared to the Andrews family in Iverton, it was insignificant.


    However, Christian had always been strong–willed and assertive in front of everyone.


    He wanted to <b>take </b><b>Lea </b>away, but was being <b>blocked</b><b>, </b>making him very angry.


    Alfred sat on the <b>sofa </b>with his <b>legs </b><b>slightly </b>apart, in <b>a </bfortable <b>position</b>, <b>with </b>a firm yet respectful attitude.


    “Mr. Berry, I respect you as an elder and value your friendship with my grandfather, but since Lea came to me for refuge, having taken her in, I will take good care of her


    “She left home less than twenty–four <b>hours </b>ago and already faced an assassination attempt. <b>As </b>an <b>outsider</b>, I also question whether the Berry <b>family </b>is truly safe for her”


    “Moreover,” he <b>looked </b>directly at Christian, his powerful presence suppressing the elder’s momentum, “is the Berry <b>family </b><b>a </b>home for Lea?”


    Althoughst night’s assassination was targeted at him, the hacker found evidence in the Sedrin Hotel room surveince showing <b>that </b>some


    <b>2./3</b>


    Chapter 18


    assassins were also after Lea


    Christian was shocked, not expecting him to stand up for his granddaughter and interfere to this extent. Seeing his <b>firm </b>atitude, he realized he was <b>serious </b>about this.


    He was grim–faced and strong<b>–</b>willed: “The Berry family is her home: I am her grandfather. Is there anyone who can <b>protect </b>her better than me!”


    Alfred did notment, but seeing his genuine concern for his granddaughter, his tone softened.


    He said, “Lea was injuredst night, hasn’t slept, and fainted. She needs rest. Why don’t you wait until she wakes up!”


    Christian, feeling pity, suppressed his anger.


    Jeffrey said. “Mr. <b>Alfred</b>, Mr. Berry hasn’t slept <b>much </b>for two nights because of the youngdy.”


    Let’s wait? Christian stopped him.


    Thad thad thud…


    Hearing footsteps on the stairs, everyone looked up to see a walking down,


    She was wearing Alfred’s white shim, the hem reaching mid–thigh<b>, </b>her legs long <b>and </b>straight, <b>her </b><b>skin </b>porcin white, and her long hair soft and ck


    Having slept herplexion had <b>improved</b>, but she still looked a bit pale and delicate.


    With just one <b>nce</b>, Alfred’s gaze deepened, holding his breath, his heart racing.


    Breathing <b>again</b>, his eyes filled with a smile.


    This girl looked so good in his white shirt,


    “Why<b>… </b><b>why </b>are you dressed like this Christian rushed up, unsteady after days of not resting, looking angry.


    He turned to re at Alfred, as if his granddaughter had been taken advantage of


    Alfred <b>fell </b>silent.


    “Grandfather, what did you expect me to wear?” Lea <b>asked</b>.


    <b>She </b>had left the old house with nothing, her dress soaked by the rain.


    Christian <b>was </b><b>at </b><b>a </b><b>loss </b><b>for </b>words.


    He reached <b>out </b>to pull her hand. “Come home with me”


    Lea pushed his hand away<b>, </b>sat <b>down </b>on the sofa, and picked up a ss of water to drink,


    Just waking up, she was very thirsty.


    “Lea, have you lost your mind?” Christian’s temper red, nearly exploding


    Lea looked at <b>him </b>stubbornly


    He hesitated, losing his temper. “Jeffrey, give her the equity transfer documents”
