Chapter 139

 Matilda set out from Berry Manor and headed to the detention center. When she arrived and saw Nixon, the sky was still dark. Meanwhile, Lea received a call from Jason.

 “Miss Berry, Matil is currently at the detention center meeting Nixon. Should I find out what they’re discussing“”

 Lea walked over to the window, lifted the curtain slightly, and nced outside.

 The horizon was brightening, painted with a vibrant red hue,

 It was going to be a beautiful day.

 “No need, just keep tracking her movements.”

 Matilda had received a message from Quicksilver and went straight to see Nixon. Len could guess the purpose of Matilda’s visit

 “Understood!” Jason replied.

 Lea hung up the phone and stood by the window for a while. Less than twenty minutester, Jason called again. “Matilda has left. Her car is heading toward Berry Manor”

 Currently, the Berry family, except for Lea, believed that Matilda’s connection to Fraley Hospital was merely due to her being the only heir of the Fraley family with inheritance rights

 Lea intended to avoid suspicion and use this fact to lessen the impact on her while finding a way to save the hospital.

 “I understand.” Lea ended the call and then dialed shannon.

 “Lea, you’re up early!”

 “Are you ready? When are you leaving?

 Shannon was thrilled and excited. Her luggage was packed, and she was just waiting for dawn to depart.

 After receiving the interview notice from Conrad University, Shannon had been working even harder.

 Last night, Shannon worked on the hospital’s security system until past four in the morning

 With the sky soon to brighten, she decided to stay awake and pack her bags, figuring she could sleep on the ne.

 Lea heard her excited voice and paused for a moment but quickly understood. Tm leaving on time. Change your flight and go ahead of me. Take Yannis with you, Tell him I instructed him to apany you to Iverton

 Shannon was taken aback by Lea’s instructions and almost asked if something had happened.

 However, knowing Lea’s mind and current arrangements, Shannon decided to follow her instructionspletely.

 “Okay, I’ll head our now and wait for you at the hotel with Yannis”

 Last night, they had booked a hotel near Conrad University in Iverton.

 ?? ?? ?

 “Okay” After hanging up, Lea held her phone and looked up. She saw her reflection in the ss window.

 Lea had barely slept the whole night.

 On one hand, she was waiting for news, trying to figure out Matilda’s intentions,

 On the other hand, she was dealing with the research problems that Charles and his team encountered.

 Since her rebirth, Lea’s daily sleep had been less than five hours. Her young body and strong willpower could sustain her, but the dark circles under her eyes were heavy, making her look somewhat fatigued and even slightly older.

 Lea thought about traveling with Alfred, but she didn’t want to appear unwell, so she decided to catch up on some sleep.

 Their flight was a little after ten o’clock, giving her enough time to rest,

 At Riverview Hospital, Shannon, with a backpack and a small suitcase, came out of the staff room and took the elevator to the basement.

 Shannon had previously shared a room with Donna to take care of her and to save money.

 However, Donna often berated and bossed Shannon around, instructing her to do everything. Even though Shannon had mentally prepared herself, Donna severely disrupted her life.

 Chris couldn’t stand it and arranged for Shannon to stay

 ay in the s staff dormitory under the guise of employment.

 Yannis, since saving Lea had been living and eating at the hospital. The basement had several small rooms for the security staff, and he stayed in one of them

 As Shannon reached the elevator, she saw Chris approaching

 Chris was dressed in a ck suit with a matching silk camisole underneath. Her hair was parted in the middle and tied back in a ponytail, giving her a stylish and energetic look.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

 ly too?” Shannon asked in surprise,

 “Chris, you’re up this early

 Shannon knew Chris was very busy and had a lot on her te, but she hadn’t expected Chris to be out working so early

 Moreover, Chris looked so energetic and beautiful, making Shannon admire her even more.

 “Yes, I have some matters to attend to.” Chris replied.

 Lea had purchased Frank’s medical technology patents, and Chris was going to handle the details of the handover.

 The hospital was gearing up for significant changes, and there were many tasks awaiting Chris.

 “Why are you heading out so early? Isn’t your flight at around ten?” Chris asked, scrutinizing her.

 After the SAT exam, Shannon had been staying up toote, and her eyes were swollen.

 She was practically risking her health for her future.

 chris felt a pang of sympathy, reminded of her younger self.

 “I just couldn’t sleep. Lea told me to go ahead, so I changed my flight. It’s a good time to leave now,” she replied.

 “Changed your flight?” Chris asked cautiously.

 “Yes,” she nodded.

 “What else did she say? Chris continued.

 “She told me to bring Yannis along

 “That idiot?”

 Shannon was taken aback, but she had to admit that Yannis did seem a bit clueless sometimes.

 She nodded in agreement.

 Chris pondered for a moment, then took a thick envelope from her brickcase and handed it to Shannon.

 “This is a bonus from the project. I wish you sess in your interview.” Chins smiled.

 paid yesterday?”

 Shannon stared in disbelief. “Didn’t we just get p

 10 thousand dors was a huge amount for her. It would be more than enough for her trip.

 “That was your sry for the month, paid in advance. Take it Chris insisted, pushing the money into her hands. The value of this recent project is much higher than you think. This is just a small part of it”

 Chris knew Shannon was struggling financially but never pitied her or offered private assistance. Shannon was too talented for that

 Instead, Chris gave her more opportunities at work.

 Shannon nodded, holding the envelope, feeling the weight of the thousand dors. It was heavier than its actual weight, warm, and deeply touching-

 “Thank you!” Her voice was choked with emotion.

 Chris nodded. “Good luck

 The elevator doors opened, and they both stepped in.

 Chapter 139

 Chris exited the clevator on the first floor. Meanwhile, Shannon reached the basement, dragging her suitcase down the corridor toward Yannis? small room

 Bang! Bang! Bang!

 She hadn’t even reached the door when she heard a series of intense noises.

 “Yannis!” Shannon dropped her backpack and suitcase, rushing forward and mming her body against the door

 Bang!

 She and the door crashed to the ground, and she felt like she was shattered into pieces. A wave of dizziness and darkness engulfed her vision

 Shannon heard a voice and forced herself to stay conscious. She blinked her eyes open, and her vision slowly cleared.

 In front of her stood a burly figure, wearing only tight boxers. From her angle, he looked enormous, like a towering mountain.

 “What are you doing!”

 The young man’s muscles were prominent and well–defined, though marked by numerous scars. Particrly noticeable was a long, jagged, and fresh scar on his chest, which was quite shocking.

 His entire body was drenched in sweat, glistening under the light and exuding raw po

 power.

 The scars didn’t detract from his appearance. Instead, they added an air of rugged strength and fierceness.

 This was the first time Shannon had seen a man dressed so scantily, especially one with such a physique. She was momentarily stunned.

 A drop of liquid hit her face, snapping her out of her daze. She wiped it off with her hand. It was sweat, dripping from Yannis hair like raindrops,

 Shannon struggled to get up, but the fall had been hard. Despite being young, her physical condition was poor, not built to withstand such impacts

 She barely managed to lift herself halfway before copsing back down.

 Suddenly, she felt her body carried.

 Yannis had grabbed her arm and lifted her up as if she were a small pet.

 Shannon felt a surge of humiliation

 Once she was on her feet, this feeling intensified even more,
