Chapter <b>356 </b>
They <b>had </b><b>an </b>intense night. He knew that Lea was going to perform surgery on Lorenzo. So, he did not want to overexert her and let her sleep after an hour
The sky was already beginning to lighten
Alfred didn’t sleep. Instead, he watched Lea tenderly in the soft lighting through the window, <b>as </b>if she were the most precious treasure in the world
They had been living together for the past half year. Lea had matured quickly. Her features had be more defined. Her eyebrows were <b>darker</b>, her eyshes long and curled, her nose more prominent, and her lips a luscious red. She was delicate <b>and </b>strikingly beautiful, making it impossible for him to look away.
She was sleeping soundly next to him. Her <b>usual </b>sharpness softened, leaving her looking pure and beautiful.
Alfred retracted his gaze. He got up, carefully tucked the nket around her, and slipped on the robe. Then, he headed to the study
He didn’t turn on the lights, moving easily in the dark as he opened a drawer. He took out a new phone, powered it on, and dialed a number he <b>hadn’t </b>called in a long time.
“Release the information about Raven in Iverton be ordered.
<b>On </b>the other end of the line, across the ocean, the person answering the phone was nearly hysterical
“Alfred, have you lost your mind? Why would you do <b>that</b>? There’s no reason to The woman’s voice was shocked and anxious
“Cipher, this isn’t a negotiation. It’s an order. Alfred’s tone was <b>calm</b>, leaving no room for debate..
“You.. this is reckless! <b>Raven </b>could die Cipher was adamant in her refusal. If we can’t protect Raven, then what’s the point of our existence
Alfred replied. “We could take things slowly. You’ve only been involved for a few years. There’s plenty of time. The enemy will develop faster. It they infiltrate Iverton <b>and </b>gain power, do you think it will be easier to deal with them thent
Cipher fell silent for a long time.
“Alfred, what’s your reason! Tell me, please” Her some softened like an older sister trying to soothe negotiate. “Are you in lover
Alfred’s gaze turned cold and ruthless, “Cipher, do I need to find someone <b>else </b>to <b>take </b><b>over </b>your position?”
Before traveling back in time, he had been burdened by too many attachments and too many concerns. He had missed his chance with Lea, allowing Milson <b>to </b>take her away
It ultimately led to his downfall, where he failed to prisiert her and their child.
This time. Alfred <b>would </b>not allow anyone to interfere in his personal life, to affect his rtionship with Lea
Not ke, not the Andrews family, and certainly no one else.
So this was an order. If Cipher wouldn’t cooperate, she’d be reced.
On the other end of the line, Cipher held her breath. She knew Alfred was ruthless. But she hadnt expected him to be this heartless
“Fine. I’ll make the arrangements, Cipher said, left with no choice.
But she couldn’t help but ask onest question. “Alfred, is it really necessary to risk your life! Is it worth it?”
Alfred held the phone to his ear, gazing out the window, though the curtains were balf–drawn. Yet all his focus was on Lea behind him.
Her features, her breathing her presence… All of it was imprinted on his mind.
Lea was his greatest love, is girlfriend, his fiancée, the person he would spend his life with Alfred couldn’t bear her being tormented by hatred every day. He couldn’t let her push herself to dangerous extremes for revenge.
He was a man. Her enemies were his enemies. It was his responsibility to avenge their child. So he had to take action.
Alfred didn’t answer Cipher’s question and didn’t need to. His silence war the most definitive response.
“Continue investigating the Rizzo family. I want to know all their movements in Iverton. <b>And </b>keep a close eye on the Alliance as well” <b>With </b>that, he hung up
Alfred was ready to use his life <b>as </b>bait, setting a trap to catch everyone who could threaten Leaand make her suffer.
Chapter <b>356 </b>
Before the surgery, Lea got some much–needed rest. On Saturday morning, Lorenzo’s surgery proceeded as scheduled. A trending topic about “Dr. Berry suddenly <b>set </b>the inte <b>aze</b>.
<b>She </b>was performing <b>surgery </b>again, and the entire inte was watching,
As soon as the news broke, someone quickly dug up all the details about the surgery, causing <b>an </b>uproar,
“She’s <b>operating </b>on Lorenzo! The young protector of the people, Lorenzor Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
“Mr. Patton’s wrist is going to heal. Our nation’s top sniper is <bing </b><b>back</b>!”
“But didn’t top global experts <b>say </b>his hand couldn’t be fully healed?”
“Yeah, they diagnosed it already
“And it’s been so long. The window for treatment is long past. There’s no way to fix it now
“I agree, and it’s happening <b>at </b>Riverview Hospital.”
“It’s not that I don’t trust Riverview Hospital. I think it has great potential, but they <b>haven’t </b>been around long. Theyck expertise<b>.</b><b>” </b>
“But <b>it’s </b>Dr. Berry!
Dr. Berry <b>is </b>amazing, but she’s still human, not a miracle worker”
The inte was rife with debate, and both sides were arguing bercely.
As the surgery time drew near<b>, </b><b>one </b>voice broke through the noise. “Everyone, stop arguing. Riverview Hospital announced that they would be live- streaming the surgery. Just watch the results.”
They’ve tumed off thements. We re just waiting
The attention on the live str
stream surged, nearly crashing the servers with the influx of viewers.
Outside the operating room, <b>a </b>crowd had gathered, including doctors, <b>nurses</b><b>, </b>and other relevant staff from the hospital, as well as a few family members.
Among the family were the three members of the Alvarez family<b>, </b>Alex and his son. <b>Yates </b>was there, representing Lorenzo’srades
The doctors and medical staff required for the operation followed Lorrand into the operating room.
An older doctor was still sternly reminding <b>his </b>subordinates to be extra careful. “Focus and give it your all. Don’t make any mistakes. This could affect our hospital’s reputation”
He was deeply anxious. The online skepticism mirrored his <b>doubes</b>, This surgery was, in his mind, impossible
Theoretically, it shouldn’t work. In practice, it seemed even more unlikely. But “Dr. <b>Berry</b>” had <b>said </b>it could be <b>done</b>, <b>had </b>provided the n, and was now leading the surgery. Lorrand even agreed to it. So now, the surgery was happening
In truth, the older doctor wished that Dr. Berry’s surgery wasn’t being performed or Riverview Hospital, to avoid any potential negative impact.
This hospital <b>had </b>such promising prospects. With all the attention it was receiving, any mistake could hinder its growth. He felt like a worried
parent
“It can’t be that <b>bad</b><b>, </b>right? I think Dr. Berry will seed a younger doctor responded. Unlike the older doctor, he had absolute <b>faith </b>in Dr. Berry, He was convinced the surgery would be sessful.
He also saw this as a huge opportunity for their hospital to increase its influence.
“You you’re still too young,” the older doctor said, his concern <b>growing </b>even deeper upon hearing the younger one’s optimism.
