    Chapter <b>19</b>


    <b>Jeffrey </b>handed a folder to Lea.


    Lea took <b>in </b><b>and </b>read it carefully.


    “Miss Lea, Mr. Berry has also demoted the Madam, sending her to the marketing department as a manager, and he has severely punished her.” Jeffrey <b>said</b>.


    He pleaded on <b>Christian’s </b>behalf.


    Jeffrey said. “These past few days, he <b>hasn’t </b>rested well, <b>hasn’t </b>slept for two nights, and has been looking for you since yesterday afternoon. He even went to the police stationtest night. He <b>was </b>injured during his military service when he was young, and now that he’s older, he can’t endure such strain.”


    Lea put down the equity document, and looked at her grandfather with slightly red eyes, and a guilty expression: “A harmonious family prospers. I’ll go back with Grandpa.”


    Christian nodded<b>, </b>his anger dissipating


    “Grandpa, Mr. Alfred took care of me, and I have a few words to say to him.”


    He frowned, wondering what more these two had to discuss, but still took Jeffrey and left, waiting in the car.


    Lea picked up the equity document from the sofa and <b>handed </b>it to Alfred, her youthful appearance showing <b>a </b>mix of business acumen and wisdom.


    “Mr. Alfred, this is my partnership capital,” said Lea.


    Alfred looked down at her, his eyes filled with fondness, loving her earnest expression.


    He smiled as he epted the equity document: “The decision to slut down and sell the Vaporeon City Branch of Saint Andrews Hospital was made by the headquarters. I’m using my personal funds, along with yours, to buy the hospital”


    The process is already underway and should bepleted in a few days,” he <b>said</b>.


    “Mm.” Lea feltpletely assured leaving it in his hands


    What she was doing was ultimately for him.


    Alfred <b>leaned </b>in closer, his tone bing gentle, with a hint of concem “Will you be safe going backThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    “With Grandpa taking care of me, I’ll be fine. She gave him a reassuring smile.


    Matilda, <b>of </b>course, wouldn’t let her <b>off</b>, <b>but </b>she <b>had </b>to consider Christian, so she wouldn’t dare to act to tantly.


    Between <b>her</b>, Matilda<b>, </b>and Helen, it was <b>a </b><b>matter </b>of survival.


    If they managed to till her first in this life, it would be their skill, and she wouldn’t feel wronged dying


    “<b>What </b>about the people fromst night… are you safe?” She was equally worried about him.


    He nodded. “They’re foreignpetitors. After failing this time, they won’t make another move.”


    Leaving the vi, Lea got into the Luxora car, sitting <b>quietly </b>and obediently beside her grandfather. <b>She </b>looked young and <b>innocent</b>, very well- behaved


    Christian watched her with a pang of heartache. What did <b>you </b>say to that boy?”


    Although he was the <b>young </b>heir of <b>the </b>Andrews family, he <b>had </b>been 100 arrogant in <b>his </b>attitude. Even his grandfather had to be polite and humble


    in front of him.


    What surprised him even more was that their rtionship seemed quite good.


    “Nothing much just thanked him,” answered Lea


    He sighed silently, saying <b>nothing</b>.


    <b>This </b>child, <b>looking </b>obedient, but her heart <b>wasn’t </b>with hin“


    Chapter 19


    On the way back to the old house<b>, </b>they passed a pet shop, and Lea got off to buy three kittens.


    Christian disliked such pets, feeling very disdainfull, but seeing the girl holding the fluffy kittens, she appeared gentle and spirited.


    Thinking of her being mistreated and lonely at the Berry mansion, having pets for thepany seemed good, so he reluctantly epted in.


    By the time they returned <b>to </b>the Berry mansion, the sun hadpletely set, and the <b>hall </b>was lit, grand, and luxurious.


    As soon as she entered, the housekeeper, Melissa, greeted her. “So the second <b>miss </b>likes cats”


    She responded with a “man” and brought out the cars.


    Melissa <b>had </b>already prepared dinner with the servants, and Lea joined Christan for the meal.


    She ate while feeding the cats, taking some of every dish, even the healthy soup Christian was drinking, to feed the cats.


    The current her was poised and intelligent, with none of the <b>former </b>solitary and introverted demeanor, and she was good at pleasing Christian,


    It was as if she had always lived with Christian, never having been separated.


    Christian suddenly felt a sense of enjoying family happiness and liked this feeling very much, adding more affection for her.


    Lea’s bedroom was thergest room on the second floor. The bed, wardrobe, and dressing <b>table</b>, although old–fashioned, were made of pure rosewood, valuable and grand.


    She asked for <b>a </bputer, which the servants quickly set up for her.


    After dinner, she returned to her room.


    With the new medication and Lorrand’s good treatment of the wound, it was no longer a problem, only needing regr medication to <b>recover</b>.


    “Buzz buzz!” Her phone vibrated with a message on WhatsApp from Lorrand. <b>[</b>Yannis has woken up. Mr. Wessen used the new medication, and with the best medical conditions, he will recover won |


    She replied with a single <b>okay</b>.


    “Knock knock knock Hearing the knock on the dour, Lea put her phone on the bedside table: ‘Come in”


    Jeffrey entered, carrying a tray <b>and </b>cing it on the table: “Mr. Berry specially asked Melissa to prepare bird’s nest for yourte–night snack?


    “Miss Lea. Mr. Berry <b>is </b><b>old </b>and unable to do as much as before. These years, he has been exhausted with thepany affairs and hasn’t paid attention to the happenings in the mansion.


    “In the past two days, he’s been working tirelessly for you, almost falling ill, and has severely punished Matilda. He genuinely cares about you”


    “Now <b>that </b>you are living with him, no one in the Berry family will dare to neglect you. Mr. Berry wants y


    you to live here peacefully”


    Jeffrey’s face showed rare kindness, looking at her as if she were his own granddaughter.


    He was arade of Mr. Berry, a real soldier, rarely showing such a benevolent <b>side</b>.


    It turned out he was there to convey her grandfather’s message,


    “Mm” Lea nodded. “Thank you, Jeffrey Mease tell Grandpa <b>that </b>I will be obedient and work hard to ease <b>his </b>worries”


    Christian might not have demoted Matilda solely for her sake, but she indeed gained the benefit <b>she </b>wanted this time.


    Moreover, with Matilda demoted, she would lose control of thepany, suffering a significant loss of power,parable to losing 3% of the shares, which was enough for her to endure.


    “Mr. Berry will be very pleased.” Jeffrey gave a rare smile. “<b>Eat </b>yourte–night snack and <b>rest </b><b>early</b><b>.</b>


    She responded with a “mum, picking up the bowl. The bowl <b>was </b>warm, and the bird’s nest was just right.


    She took a spoonful to her mouth, and after he left, she turned and fed the bird’s nest to the kitten crouching on the desk.


    The warm yellow light illuminated her clear eyes, which sparkled sharply.
