Her

As dawn broke, Alfred woke up and his first task was to find Lea 

She wasn’t at the lakeside villa, and they searched the entire city. 

A hacker found some information online that she had gone to the police station to file a repors and checked into the Sedrin Hotel, but she was 

nowhere to be found. 

Alfred then brought them here. 

It was quite unbelievable. 

Lorrand had just finished tidying up his tools and looked at her 

‘She’s 

my 

friend,” said Lorrand. 

He breathed a sigh of relief 

Lea went forward to open the door and saw Eddie, along with a car parked outside. 

The car door opened, and Alfred stepped out. 

He had already changed into a new outfit, a black silk shirt that was spotless, contrasting sharply with his cold white skin. His hand was wrapped in bandages, which made him appear even more cold and severe. 

“Miss Lea!” Alfred asked. 

Eddie looked at Lea in front of him, dressed in a large blue surgical gown and wearing a surgical cap, looking like a doctor who had just finished Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

He couldn’t believe this was the same person who had fought alongside them against the enemy last night, got injured, and then drappeared. 

Lea acknowledged with a “mm.” 

Alfred had already bent down to enter, surveyed the clinic, and noticed Lorrand emerging from the inner room, scrutinizing him more intently. 

Seeing him still in his surgical gown, with gloves stained with blood, it was evident they had just finished surgery 

“Is there a patient!” Alfred walked to Lea’s side, his hand naturally resting on the back of her head, rubbing it gently, his breathing steadying, and his entire demeanor softened 

Feeling the firm yet gentle pressure of his hand, with its uniquely warm palm, Lea’s eyes grew warm. 

She nodded with a “mm” – 

The surrounding men were startled, witnessing the normally fierce and assertive girl becoming docile under the man’s touch. 

Lorrand, being experienced, immediately recognized the unusual relationship between Lea and this man 

Craig looked at Eddie in surprise. “Has Mr. Alfred won over the girl?” 

Eddie remained silent 

Alfred retracted his hand and walked into the inner room, seeing Yannis lying on the bed. 

His upper body was bare, the bandaged chest still oozing blood, indicating a very dangerous surgery. 

Alfred turned to look at Lea, a hint of surprise in his eyes, followed by a proud smile. 

He was proud of himself, and Lea’s eyes also brightened. 

“I’ve already called Mr. Wessen to come and transfer the patient to your hospital for recuperation,” she said softly, her tone inquiring. 

“Very good.” Alfred was very satisfied with this arrangement. 

She introduced Lorrand to him. “Dr. Phoenix is a rare cardiologist. Your hospital should hire him; you won’t regret it 

“Mm, you won’t let me down,” Alfred said.

She smiled with delight 

The three men around them, with empty stomachs early in the morning, suddenly felt full from the display of affection 

Lea introduced the Andrews Group Hospital to Lorrand 

Soon, people sent by Charles arrived, bringing an ambulance 

The medical staff lifted Yannis onto the ambulance, and Lorrand also got on with his daughter. 

The child, having taken medicine, was much better and slept soundly in her father’s arms. 

Watching the ambulance drive away 

“Let’s go to my home first.” Alfred turned around, just in time to see Lea collapse. 

He swiftly caught her in his arms. 

She had been seriously injured last night, hadn’t rested, and the surgery had drained a lot of her energy, causing her to faint. 

He anxiously camed her into the car, Eddie closed the door and got in. 

Craig drove towards the lakeside villa. 

In the car, Lea nestled softly in Alfred’s arms, her small face buried in his chest, behaving unusually docile and obedient. 

Eddie and Craig were taken aback as if the brave person who fought fearlessly against enemies last night was just an illusion. 

Lea was awakened by the noise, 

She slowly opened her eyes to see a warm white ceiling, the intricate and elegant decor pleasing to the eye. The bed she lay on was very comfortable, making her feel like she was lying on soft clouds. 

Her body hadn’t experienced such comfort in a long time. 

Taking a breath, she smelled a pleasant scent 

It was Alfred’s scent 

This was his bedroom. 

She hugged the blanket, breathing in greedily, feeling inexplicably happy. 

Then she got out of bed, walked barefoot to the window, and pulled back the curtains. 

It was already dusk, the orange–red sunset filling the garden. 

A silver–black extended Luxora car was parked in the garden, belonging to her grandfather. Outside stood the driver and bodyguards, all from the Berry family’s old house. 

She heard Christian’s voice downstairs. 

“Alfred, although I have a life–and–death friendship with your grandfather, this is our family business, and you shouldn’t interfere.” 

Although the Berry family was the leader in Vaporleon City, compared to the Andrews family in Iverton, it was insignificant. 

However, Christian had always been strong–willed and assertive in front of everyone. 

He wanted to take Lea away, but was being blocked, making him very angry. 

Alfred sat on the sofa with his legs slightly apart, in a comfortable position, with a firm yet respectful attitude. 

“Mr. Berry, I respect you as an elder and value your friendship with my grandfather, but since Lea came to me for refuge, having taken her in, I will take good care of her 

“She left home less than twenty–four hours ago and already faced an assassination attempt. As an outsider, I also question whether the Berry family is truly safe for her” 

“Moreover,” he looked directly at Christian, his powerful presence suppressing the elder’s momentum, “is the Berry family a home for Lea?” 

Although last night’s assassination was targeted at him, the hacker found evidence in the Sedrin Hotel room surveillance showing that some 

2./3 

assassins were also after Lea 

Christian was shocked, not expecting him to stand up for his granddaughter and interfere to this extent. Seeing his firm atitude, he realized he was serious about this. 

He was grim–faced and strong–willed: “The Berry family is her home: I am her grandfather. Is there anyone who can protect her better than me!” 

Alfred did not comment, but seeing his genuine concern for his granddaughter, his tone softened. 

He said, “Lea was injured last night, hasn’t slept, and fainted. She needs rest. Why don’t you wait until she wakes up!” 

Christian, feeling pity, suppressed his anger. 

Jeffrey said. “Mr. Alfred, Mr. Berry hasn’t slept much for two nights because of the young lady.” 

Let’s wait? Christian stopped him. 

Thad thad thud… 

Hearing footsteps on the stairs, everyone looked up to see a walking down, 

She was wearing Alfred’s white shim, the hem reaching mid–thigh, her legs long and straight, her skin porcelain white, and her long hair soft and black 

Having slept her complexion had improved, but she still looked a bit pale and delicate. 

With just one glance, Alfred’s gaze deepened, holding his breath, his heart racing. 

Breathing again, his eyes filled with a smile. 

This girl looked so good in his white shirt, 

“Why… why are you dressed like this Christian rushed up, unsteady after days of not resting, looking angry. 

He turned to glare at Alfred, as if his granddaughter had been taken advantage of 

Alfred fell silent. 

“Grandfather, what did you expect me to wear?” Lea asked. 

She had left the old house with nothing, her dress soaked by the rain. 

Christian was at a loss for words. 

He reached out to pull her hand. “Come home with me” 

Lea pushed his hand away, sat down on the sofa, and picked up a glass of water to drink, 

Just waking up, she was very thirsty. 

“Lea, have you lost your mind?” Christian’s temper flared, nearly exploding 

Lea looked at him stubbornly 

He hesitated, losing his temper. “Jeffrey, give her the equity transfer documents”
