Nixon raised his eyes. His paze <b>was </b>cruel <b>and </b>ruthless. “Notify the PR and marketing departments to handle this matter immediately.”
The secretary replied, “Yes.”
The secretary left, leaving him alone in the office. A sinister smile crept across his lips.
The marketing team would devise a perfect solution to handle the situation.
As for the hospital’s reputation, it could restore its image through a few grand charity events and substantial donations,bined with relentless positive media coverage. It would only cost some money
However, Nixon hadn’t anticipated that Riverview Hospital would be so capable of enlisting “Dr. Berry” for the surgery,
He had witnessed her <b>skill </b>during a <b>previous </b>operation at his <b>hospital</b>. With her involved, a miraculous oue was indeed possible.
This time, Nixon knew he had acted impulsively without fully understanding his opponent. Next time, he would be thoroughly prepared and strike without fail
No
matter how powerful Riverview Hospital might be<b>, </b>Vaporleon City would always be Fraley Medical’s territory.
Suddenly, his phone buzzed. Seeing <b>that </b>it was <b>Matilda </b>calling, he answered.
He assured her. “Don’t worry. I’ll handle the hospital situation. These are minor issues. I’ll let the subordinates handle them.”
Compared to his daughter’s matter, these problems were trivial and the losses could be recoupedter.
Matilda said, “Send me what I need, and I’ll get the <b>materials </b>to you immediately
“I’ll take care of it first thing, Nixon replied, his <b>voice </b>softening with affection. “Don’t worry. No matter what, I’ll solve our daughter’s issue perfectly. Our little princess, Helen, will shine like a star.”
“Let’s hope so.” Matilda’s voice sounded better on the phone, though still weary.
Meanwhile, Lea quietly returned to the director’s office, <b>leaned </b>against the desk, and sank into the chair. She was exhausted.
The surgery had been grueling and mentally draining, leaving her feeling utterly spent. After a brief rest to regain some strength, she changed out of her surgical gown and into her school uniform. She let her long hair <b>down</b><b>, </b>slung her backpack over her shoulder, and headed our the door. Turning <b>a </b>corner in the hallway, her eyes lit up.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
Alfred <b>stood </b>leaning against the wall in his ck silk shirt. His tall and elegant figure stood out. The diamond cufflinks on his sleeves gleamed in the <b>dim </b>light. He exuded an aura of nobleziness,bining elegance and sensuality
In the moment Lea stood <b>dazed</b>, Alfred straightened and nodded towards the elevator. “Let’s go cat”
Lea nodded. “Okay”
Feeling her body had been hollowed, she needed energy to replenish it. Alfred held the elevator door open for her, and they both entered.
“You just left this morning. Why are you here?” she asked.
Alfred replied, “I had some business to handle at the hospital<b>.</b>
Lea asked, “Did you get it done!”
Alfred responded, “Yes, it’s all sorted.”
They chatted as they left the hospital, and Alfred drove her away.
“What should we eat?” Lea wondered aloud, considering that he couldn’t handle spicy food. Given everything he’d done for the hospitaltely, she wanted to treat him to a good meal.
Looking down <b>at </b>her school uniform, she wished she had worn a nice dress for their outing.
Alfred said, “Matilda’s people <b>are </b>monitoring you. Eating out is inconvenient. Let’s go to my <b>ce</b>.
“Sure.” Lea replied, her tone light and her f
face brightening with a smile. She needed rest, and being with him lifted her spirits.

ter <b>a </b>moment of thought, he added. [We’ll be there in half an hour.]

However, he quickly realized that the only person Alfred brought back would be Lea
Was this their first official date!

Half an hourter, the car pulled into thekeside vi. Lea followed Alfred inside.
He set the keys down <b>and </b><b>said</b>, “You go rest for a bit, I’ll handle <b>dinner</b>.
Alfred headed into the kitchen and started working.
Opening the fridge, he saw it was stocked with ingredients, and he couldn’t help but <b>smile</b>. Eddie had indeed done a <bmendable </b>job, as Expected
Surveying the kitchen, Alfred frowned slightly, but he quicklyposed himself. He put on a deep blue apron and began preparing the meal.
Lea stood there, her emotions in <b>turmoil</b>
In her previous life, the man who had sacrificed everything for her, including his life, was now here, cooking for her. The rush of feelings overwhelmed her once more.
Suddenly, two
loud
bangs fo
from the kitchen snapped her out of her thoughts.
She heard more sounds, including running water and some ttering, indicating chaos. From the noises alone, it was clear he didn’t know how to
cook.
Putting down her backpack and taking off her school uniform jacket, Lea rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen. Til handle this”
Alfred turned around, awkwardly rubbing his nose, his cheeks turned red with embarrassment. He had never cooked before <b>but </b>had watched top chefs prepare meals since he was young, thinking it would be simple.
Lea smiled warmly, understanding his predicament.
She <b>said</b>, I’ll cook for you.”
She tied her long hair into a bun, then stepped forward to untie his apron. The strands of her hair brushed against his shirt,
Breathing deeply, Alfred inhaled her unique scent, which filled him with a longing to take in more. He bent down and ced <b>a </b>gentle <b>kiss </b>on her
hair.
Lea stood still,pliant in his embrace.
“Lea,” he said in a husky voice.
“Yes!” She looked up at him.
“just want to d
want to devour you,” Alfred said, his eyes smoldering with desire.
Understanding his meaning, her cheeks flushed.
“Alfred,” Lea said, grabbing his shirt cor and lowering her head to avoid his gaze. “I’m neen now.”
