<b>“</b><b>Yes</b>.
Lea intended to tell him about her surgery, but given her background, which he already knew, she couldn’t exin her medical skills.
This matter was not something she could disclose
“I’m in the operating room.”
Christian’s breath caught. “Dr. Berry is the one you arranged?””
<b>That </b>was what was said in the live broadcast
Lea nodded. “I met Dr. Berry when the hospital was first established in Vaporleon City. I’ll introduce you when there’s an opportunity.”
“Okay!” He nodded. “<b>What </b>about Yostoudian Prime Minister!”
It was precisely because of this message that Christian was so shocked that he could not fall asleep. That was why he paced around the living room.
The fact that somegne, unrted to the Berry family, suddenly intervened to help her made Christian very suspicious.
Lea exined, “Last summer, during my business trip abroad, I went with Dr. Berry to save someone. They owe our hospital a favor. Our newly developed drugs and medical equipment are ahead of the market, so they need to coborate with us”
Christian sighed deeply after hearing this. He looked at Lea with a mix <b>of </b>shock, admiration, and a hint of regret
Lea <b>was </b>an extraordinary talent. Her achievements <b>far </b>exceeded <b>his </b>understanding. He had underestimated her far too much.
“So, Mr. Berry, you don’t need to worry. Lea wall handle the hospital matters just fine,” Alfred sud, stepping forward to offerfort,
Christian shot him a re, angry both at ke for not respecting Lea and <b>at </b>Lea for being in a rtionship with him.
Given that Lea was destined for greatness, she would inevitably face the toughest challenges, like this one. Christian was deeply concerned.
Due to his <b>age</b>, Christian couldn’t be there to protect her forever. At least Alfred was there to support her, which was afort, so he felt his anger dissipate.
He sighed wistfully, looking at <b>Lea </b>with a respectful regard for her as an equal “Lea, your talent and intelligence have surpassed mine by far. I will
interfere with your matters in the future and will support you fully.”
Lea <b>was </b><b>taken </b>aback but was naturally moved. She smiled and said, “I will always be <b>your </b>granddaughter.”
Christian nodded, his eyes moist with emotion.
“<b>Grandpa</b>, you should go to bed. Expect good news from me tomorrow, Lea said, her tone light.
Originally, without asking the Yostoudian Prime Minister for help, Lea was unsure <b>what </b>the oue might be.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
<b>Now</b>, she had linle to worry about
No matter what happened next, Riverview Hospital in Iverton would surely open <b>as </b>nned.
Just as Lea finished speaking, her phone rang. It was a call from Luke.
<b>she</b>
shed <b>a </b>smile at Christian, stood up, and walked over to the window to answer the call,
“<b>Miss </b><b>Berry</b><b>, </b>someone has taken action in the ward. I’ve apprehended the person. How <b>should </b>I handle this? Luke said.
Her expression hardened, a sharp glint shing in her deep eyes <b>Send </b>him to Riverview Hospital.”
The person behind the scenes who wanted to crush Riverview Hospital would be dealt with on her own turf.
After hanging up, Lea turned to Christian and gave him a rxed smile. “That was a call from Conrad Hospital. They said the patient’s condition is
improving<b>.”</b>
“Alright, then I’ll head to bed, Christian said, not wanting Lea to worry
If he didn’t sleep soon, it would be dawn.
As Christian stood up, he nced sternly at Alfred.

“There are only two bedrooms here, and Alfred’s still here. Is he nning to wait until I fall asleep? <b>he </b>thought.
Huve to head out, Mr. Herry. Please get some rest,” Alfred said, understanding the situation, and left the room.
Christian was then able to rest easily
After Christian was settled, Lea entered her study, opened herptop, and worked for a while. When she received a message from <b>Luke</b>, she left the room and took the <b>elevator </b>down to the basement.
Upon exiting the elevator, she saw <b>Alfred </b><b>standing </b>by a pir, his <b>tall</b><b>, </b>upright figure illuminated by the dim light, casting <b>a </b>dramatic shadow acros his finely chiseled features. He looked both deeply handsome and striking.
He was waiting for her.
Alfred smiled when he <b>saw </b>her arrive.
Tea walked up to him. “Lake has brought the person here. I’ll go check on him.”
“Okay” Alfred nodded.
They walked side by side down the corridor towards the underground training room.
The basement <b>had </b><b>a </b>2,000–square–foot training area where Yannis practiced boxing and trained the hospital’s security team –
At night, many people trained there.
After Luke light people in tonight, everyone else had left.
The door was half–open, and Lea exchanged a nce with Alfred before pushing it open.
Alfred stood in the shadowy doorway, able to see inside.
“Hello, Miss Berry,” Luke said as she entered. He was sitting on a training apparatus, holding a small knife stained with blood that wasn’t hit
But he had <b>a </b><b>deep</b>, <b>long </b>cut above his eyebrow extending toward <b>his </b>temple, with multiple bloodstains and bruises on his face and handi
was evident how fierce the confrontation in James’s hospital room had been.
“Thank you!” Lea said sincerely, her tone full of gratitude.
She had offered them a better chance at life, and their loyalty deserved appreciation
Although she had saved their lives, she was genuinely grateful <b>to </b><b>those </b>who worked for her and cherished their loyalty.
Luke was taken <b>aback</b><b>, </b>a proud smile shing across his <b>face</b>.
“I’m sorry, but I couldn’t extract any results” Luke admitted, feeling ashamed.
Lea looked up, following his gaze to see the person tied to a chair nearby. He was dressed in a <b>ck </b>suit, his face pale, lips a ghostly white, with blood seeping from his hair and trickling down his cheek.
He was looking in their direction, his gaze distant but determined, despite his <b>weakness</b>.
He <b>was </b>surrounded by <b>heavy </b>training equipment, <b>creating </b>a somber atmosphere.
It was clear that Luke had <b>already </b>interrogated him extensively.
The man was <b>involved </b>in the attempt to destroy Riverview <b>Hospital</b>. Luke needed to uncover the mastermind behind it.
y, despite using every method he knew, this <b>person </b>remained silent.
Unfortunately,
He was the first one who could withstand Luke’s techniques.
When <b>Luke </b>joined the training, he had consulted several doctors at the hospital, who knew the human body and the most painful methods to employ
Luke <b>had </b>exhausted all methods.
Lea recognized the man immediately, her eyes widening momentarily before returning to calm.

“Miss Berry, rest assured. I will find a way to make him talk, Lirke said, noticing her silence. He had even considered consulting Craig for advice.
Lea’s <b>gaze </b>hardened, her eyes cold. “No need Dispose of <b>him </b>and send him to Kentside Garden, personally deliver him to ke

He instinctively looked toward the door, where Alfred’s shadone was partially visible.
Alfred stood quietly, unmoving.
Luke recalled the earlier incident w

“Be swift <b>and </b>make it <b>as </b>painless as possible,” <b>Lea </b>instructed.
Having been pampered by Alfred recently, her inner softness had increased, and she maintained a firm limit.
Rick, unlike Abigail and Helen, had no personal grudge against her, and unless absolutely necessary, she didn’t wish to cause harm
Rick was different from Abigail <b>and </b>Helen. He <b>had </b>no enmity with her, and she didn’t want to hurt anyone unless it was absolutely necessary.

Lea tensed suddenly.
Someone might be monitoring them without their knowledge..
Her past experiences left her feeling <b>highly </b>insecure, making it difficult to remain calm.
