Chapter <b>221</b>
“Miss Berry<b>, </b>are you alright? Lorrand asked worriedly. It was rare to see such an expression on her face
Lea came back to her senses and shook her head. “I’m fine.
He looked at her with concern, then at the report in her hand.
He knew her background very well
This Joey was actually rted to her by blood. In other words, if she continued to investigate, she might be able to find her parents.
As a father, he naturally knew the importance of blood rtions and the value of kinship. This was a big deal to her. But this was her private matter, He couldn’t interfere unless she asked.
So he said. “If you need anything, just call me. I’m here.”
“Yes” Lea nodded and put the report into the shredder. “Don’t let a third party know about this.”
I know, he promised, “Tll get ready for the hospital’s opening”
“Go on” She stayed in the office alone for a while before going to the ward.
It was already dark outside. The curtains were tightly drawn, and the room was dark. The warm light at the door shone some light in, making the ward environment very suitable for patients to recuperate.
She walked lightly to the bed and looked at the person on the bed.
In her previous life, she had a son. The heavy <b>and </b>strong bond of <b>kinship </b>surged up again. Although it was not as strong as her own flesh and blood. the <b>way </b>she looked at Joey unconsciously deepened and her expression softened.
Now that she looked at him carefully, his eyshes were very long, his nose bridge was very straight, and his skin was very smooth. His entire body had a natural sense of exquisiteness, just like her.
She wondered what kind of rtionship he had with her
After an unknown period of time, the ward door was pushed open
She suddenly came <b>back </b>to her senses and saw the Alvarez couple walking in.
For the past few days, they woulde to watch over their son whenever they had the chance..
The two of them were surprised to see Lea there. She seemed that she had been there for a long time.
“Miss Berry<b>, </b>why are you here” Syndey couldn’t help but ask.
Lea said, Tm here to check on him<b>.”</b>
Their son’s background was still <b>a </b>mystery. Only Lea <b>and </b>Lorrand knew that she was rted to him by blood. There <b>was </b>no need for <b>them </b>to know about these things now. The couple was instantly filled with gratitude.
Marcus said, “Miss Berry, how is Joey <b>now</b>?”
“Don’t worry, the serum can stabilize his condition.”
Both the couple breathed a sigh of relief
Im so grateful to you. Miss Berry. I don’t know what to say Syndey approached her with tears in her eyes.
Ever since her son’s ident, she had be <b>a </b>crybaby,
“You’re wee. It’s my duty” She looked at the couple and became much gentler.
“Willow and 1 <b>are </b>ssmates and roommates. She takes good care of me. You guys can just call me Lea<b>.</b><b>”</b>
The two of them were instantly ttered. They felt that <b>their </b>spoiled daughter <b>could </b>notpare to Leo.
Not to mention anything else, just based on her medical expertise, even Marshall was willing <b>to </b>listen to her. They wondered if she was <b>a </b>rare talent.
They could tell that the people in the hospital, including Charles, were not ordinary people, but they all listened to her. They also vaguely felt that she was the boss behind this hospital.

Not to mention their daughter, they felt <b>that </b>it was usually impossible for someone like them to match up to such a person.
Sydney <b>said</b>, “Miss Berry, you’re too kind. Willow is too careless. Our family doesn’t deserve it.
Lea said, “Sydney, you’re being too serious. Willow is kind and warm–hearted. She’s a good friend that’s hard toe by. We’ve been living together in school for the past four years. Ill cherish our friendship”
The couple sized her up. Seeing that Lea was calm and sincere, their hearts were filled with gratitude.
They were not shy people, so they epted it. The way they looked at her became friendly <b>as </b>if they were looking at their own daughter.
Sydney said, “Lea, please take care of our Willow from now on. Marcus <b>and </b>I are both in neuromedical research. We have some achievements. If you need anything, just tell <b>us</b><b>. </b>If the Alvarez family can help, we will do our best
Marcus nodded <b>and </b>promised,
Lea saved Joey and was the savior of the Alvarez family.
Twill. Lea didn’t see them as outsiders.
Lea turned to look at the patient on the bed. “You guys should apany him.”
Both parties gave each other a knowing look.
The couple watched her leave and sat down by the bed.
Joey was maintained with serum, and theboratory was in full swing making strong serum. There were not many sses <b>at </b>the university, and Lea had Marshall’s help to apply for leave. She spent most of her time in the hospital.
The renovation of the hospital had basically beenpleted. They used eco–friendly and harmless materials
She cooperated with the inspection and intelligent system test. Arge amount of medical equipment and medicine were also transported to the hospital
The newly recruited staff were also undergoing induction training
There were more and more people in the hospital, and they got busy one after another. In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
“The autumn in Iverton was a rainy season. It had been sunny for half a month, and on Friday afternoon, there was suddenly a heavy rain.
After the meeting. Lea came out of the office and saw Shannon standing in the corridor. Her long hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was pale. Her face was covered in rainwater and tears. She <b>was </b>in a daze <b>as </b>if she had been frightened.
“Lea, they’re here Her voice was hoarse <b>and </b>trembling. Her entire body was trembling
Lea <b>had </b>known her for so long. Even in Vaporleon City, she had never been so afraid when she <b>was </b>captured to rece Helen for the crime of murder.
Shannon’s entire body was soaked by the rain and was dripping with water. Behind her, wherever she walked, there were also water stains.
They were in different majors. Shannon had sses this afternoon, but Lea didn’t. She knew that she had returned from school,
However, Shannon’s bag was not on her. There was nothing on her. She had braved the heavy rain and fled back here <b>in </b>a panic.
“It’s <b>okay</b>. I’m here, Lea said firmly and gently. “Go to the office and change <b>your </b>clothes first<b>.</b><b>”</b>
Otherwise, she would get sick.
Lea brought Shannon to her office. Chris had documents for her to sign and stamp, she was still waiting for her in her office.
Seeing Shannon’s appearance, she was also shocked.
However, she did not <b>say </b>anything and waited at the side.
Lea sent her to her bedroom first. In her current mood, Shannon could not take a shower. She changed wet <b>clothes </b>and came out.
Lea <b>took </b>a towel and wanted to help her wipe her dripping hair.
Shannon said, “I do it myself.”
She was not that delicate and needed someone to serve her. Moreover, after seeing Lea and returning here, she felt sale and calmed <b>down </b><b>a </b>lon.
Shannon’s body was <b>a </b>little weak <b>as </b>she sat down on the chair.

Chris poured a cup of coffee and handed it to her. “Have some drink to ward off the cold.”
She <b>took </b>it and drank it in one gulp.
<ol>
<li>p. She was still trembling.</li>
</ol>
“Who are they?” Lea asked, <b>a </b>sharp glint in her deep eyes.
Shannon looked up at them. They were the people she couldpletely rely on and trust.
“They’re… my parents? Her voice was still trembling, <b>and </b>her expression <b>was </b>filled with fear. “My… biological parents”
After school in the afternoon, she was in a hurry to rush back to the hospital to help catch up on work. She held an umbre and walked out of the school in the rain. A ck BMW SUV stopped her.
A richdy in her forties got out of the car. The servant held an umbre for her. Thedy was standing on a high spot, close to her. The rain from the umbre sshed on her face and clothes.
Shannon tried to back away, but the woman’s bodyguards blocked her way. “Shannon, hello. I’m <b>Jessie </b><b>Moore</b>, your biological mother”
Shannon’s spupils
dted as if she had been struck by lightning.
The noblewoman turned around and looked into the car. The door of the SUV was open. Inside was a frail <b>man </b>in his forties, but he looked to be in his fifties <b>or </b>sixties. His face was pale, his aura was floating, and <b>his </b>hair was white.
Shannon did not know much about medicine, yet she knew that the other party was very sick
The <b>man’s </b>eyes were naturally cold, but when he looked at her, he tried his best to look gentle and close, but no one could feel the slightest warmth. It was as if there was <b>an </b>insurmountable barrier between them
There was another person sitting beside him. It was Leona, who <b>had </b>targeted Shannon time and time <b>again</b>.
She felt ufortable under the man’s gaze <b>and </b>could not care about Shannon.
Jessie said, “He’s your father, Quintin Moore. We’re here to take you home.”
Shannon stood at the bottom and looked up at her. The rain was heavy and the umbre blocked her Jessie <b>looked </b>disdainful, just like when Leona ndered Shannon
Shannon was already resistant and did not want toe into contact with such people. Now that she heard this, she was even more repulsed There “was also deep fear in her heart.
Shannon thought of Donna Yancey
Every cell in her body resisted. She said, “You’re mistaken. Im not your child.”
With that, she turned around <b>and </b>was about to rush out.
A bodyguard stepped in front of her.
She turned around and looked at the noblewoman. The resistance and difort in her heart were about to burst out. “You really got the wrong person. Don’t get in my <b>way</b><b>.</b><b>”</b>
She clenched her hands into fists to control herself
“Shannon, you’re really Mom and Dad’s daughter Leona got out of the car and rushed to her side without even holding an umbre. She hugged her <b>arm </b>and begged. “<b>Daddy </b>is sick and needs a bone marrow transnt. Daddy needs you very much. The family needs you very much. Come home with us!”
Leona almost knelt down and begged her.
The pouring rain instantly drenched her. The servants did not even <b>have </b>time to hold <b>an </b>umbre for her.
With the example of Donna, Shannon was afraid of the concept of a mother and even a father.
They were high and mighty people who treated her like dirt. It was already uneptable for her to suddenly ept that they were her biological parents.
After hearing what Leona said, Shannon suddenly pushed her away like <b>a </b>madman and ran forward.
Leona grabbed her <b>bag </b>and it fell to the ground. Shannon waspletely unaware of it and only wanted to escape.
“Shannon, Shannon… Leona’s <b>anxious </b>cry came from behind with a pleading tone.
Jessie also ordered the servants, “Chase after her
Shannon ran forward as if she was running for her life.
The crowd at the entrance of the school was congested. There <b>was </b>already a traffic jam, and with the <b>heavy </b>rain, the cars could not drive out, <b>so </b>they did not <b>catch </b>Shanon
She hailed a taxi and rushed to the hospitalAll rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
Lea and Chris looked at each other. Lea’s expression became even colder.
“Who is it?” To be able to <b>scare </b>Shannon like this, Lea knew that those people were definitely not kind
“It’s the Moore family, Leona’s parents. After saying that, Shannon bither lips nervously,
Lea frowned and her gaze was sharp.
Leona had helped Abigail <b>target </b>them several times. She had already remembered her
Leona was different from Abigail and the others. People like Abigail still had to have some dignity. They had done a lot of superficial <b>work. </b>However, Leona’s meanness, snobbery, and viciousness came from her bones. She looked repulsive from the inside out.
Now that Lea thought about it, she felt that Leona was very simr to Donnain <b>this </b>aspect.
Lea asked, “Don’t tell me she’s Donna’s daughter. Did you two swap ces when you were born!”
“It’s possible,” Chris said, “I identally discovered that after Donna left Vaporleon City, she came to Iverton and often went to the Moore family. Unintentionally, she even discovered that Donna often went to the Moore family a lot.
Lea nced at her and thought<b>, </b>‘Good job, I will <b>increase </b>your bonus this month:
Chris smiled and thought, You can add all you want
She knew that they had just arrived at Iverton Other than being busy with school matters, they were working overtime at the hospital. Chris gave them a hule introduction. This Moore family is quite famous in Iverton. The founder of Moore Technology, Wade Moore, is the first–generationputer engineer in the country. He is a rare software development genius. In his hands, Moore Technology was once a top software technologypany in the country!
<b>She </b>said to Shannon, “He’s your great–grandfather.”
They now understood where Slunnon’sputing talent came from.
Chris knew <b>most </b>of the wealthy families in Iverton like the back of her hand.
She continued, “However, when it came to your grandfather’s generation, his aptitude was much more mediocre. Coupled with how rich he was, after your great–grandfather passed away, the <b>family </b>went downhill. When the family lineage was passed down, power struggles and internal strife were serious. Within a few years, they were overtaken by their domestic and foreignpetitors. In your grandfather’ster years, eighteen or neen <b>years </b>ago, about a year or two after you were born, thepany could no longer operate.
“Your grandfather, Heath Moore, sold thepany’s core technology. Moore Technology became an electronics processingpany and was once thergest electronics processingpany in the country. However, their electronic processing technology is also getting more and more. backward. They <b>can </b>only barely maintain it now. The market value of thepany is about 10 billion”
In her eyes, the current Moore Corporation was indeed not powerful enough.
Seeing that Shannon was <b>so </b>frightened and <b>had </b>escaped back here in the storm, Chris knew that Quintin and his wife were not kind people.
On the other hand, with a young genius like her among the Moore family descendants, the family <b>had </b>new hope. Unfortunately, Shannon was lost in the past. It was still the same situation now,
The Moore Group was not worthy of Lea’s attention
The behavior of the Moore couple had vited her taboo. She thought. What is the difference between such parents and people like Matilda <b>and</b>
Donna?
In her previous life, she had been abandoned by her biological parents. Then, she was unable to protect her child. Such things were taboo to her.
She looked at Shannon and <b>said </b>resolutely, “You’re already an adult. You don’t need a guardian anymore. Whether you acknowledge them or not is up to you. Even your <b>biological </b>parents don’t have the right to force you to transnt your bone marrow to them.”
Only then did Shannon heave <b>a </b>sigh of relief. With their support, she regained some confidence and security, “I <b>won’t </b>acknowledge them, nor will I return to the Moore family and transnt my bone marrow.

The psychological trauma left by Donna had yet to be eliminated. The Moore couple had suddenly appeared to ask her for a bone marrow transnt to save Quintin
Shannon felt that they were even worse than Donna. She would rather avoid seeing them.
Chris’s phone rang. It was a call from the security guard downstairs. “Ms. Foster, someone is here. They’re looking for Miss Yancey and Miss Berry What do you think we should do?”
The hospital had not officially opened for business yet, and the security work was not done ording <b>to </b>procedure. Furthermore, it was after work. He could not contact Shannon and Lea directly, so he could only call Chris.

tit. She hung up.
The three of them went to the window and saw two <b>ck </b>SUVS parked downstairs. One <b>was </b>a special car and the other was a bodyguard’s car. Some people were holding umbres in the rain.
The Moore family had chased Shannon to the hospital.
