Chapter 25
The driver sent by Christian had waited for Lea for over half an hour outside Vaporleon High School. Seeing that everyone else had left and unable to reach her by phone, the driver reluctantly drove back
As the car was on the highway, another vehicle suddenly rushed from behind and crashed into it, sending the car off the viaduct and plunging into
The river
At the Lake Villa, Alfred reclined in a chair by the desk, the blue light from the computer screen reflecting in his eyes like ice crystals, enhancing his already handsome and noble appearance,
“It’s time to sell, offload 2%, and then buy back 5% when it hits the bottom price. He was on the phone, informing the staff at the hedge fund company
“Understood, Mr. Andrews, came the reply.
ing up. Eddie rushed in, his face dark and livid.
As soon as Alfred hung up.
Alfred asked with a frown, “What’s wrong”
“The car picking up Miss Lea was rear–ended on the highway and plunged into the river, Eddie said.
Alfred’s heart s
seized, the pain making it stop bearing for a moment
It took him five or six seconds to recover. “Investigate inmediately. Mobilize everyone to find out what happened”
With that, he strode out
“Mr. Alfred, Mr. Alfred Eddie called after him, but only saw Alfred’s car speeding out of the gate.
He immediately called the hacker, at this moment, the best way to find relevant information was through the cay’s trattic information network.
Alfred’s black Maybach sped out of the city and onto the highway, heading straight for the accident site.
Outside the car window, the city’s skyscrapers were rapidly receding

Alfred’s eyes were fixed dead ahead, his entire body tensed, veins bulging on his forehead. “Not Lea, you cannot just die like this!
The urgent ring of his phone broke his thoughts. He grabbed the steering wheel, slammed on the brakes, and the car slowed down, distancing itself from the vehicle in front
Alfred was distracted.
Had it not been for the call and his championship–level racing skills, he would have rear–ended the car just now.
Picking up his phone, he realized his palms were sweaty. “Hello?” he said,
“Mr. Alfred, we’ve found out that Lea was not in the car
Alfred slowly exhaled, finally feeling his heartbeat and breath again. “I see” His voice was hoarse.

With furrowed brows, Alfred tossed the phone aside, overlook vehicles recklessly, heading toward Fraley Hospital

The car accident was reported by traffic media and quickly spread.
It wasn’t until an hour later, when the car was pulled from the river and the owner’s information and the lifeless identity of the driver were discovered, that the relevant authorities realized this was the car and driver from the Berry family.

Calls were made to the Berry family, then to the headquarters of Berry Group, and finally to the chairman’s office. Christian nearly fainted upon hearing the news and rushed to the scene urgently.
Four hours later, at Fraley Hospital.
As the operating room doors opened, Lea walked out, followed by a group of doctors led by Nixon, their faces claied.
Only top–notch doctors were allowed in this operating room.
Today, they had participated in an unprecedented surgery, witnessing the pinnacle of brain and heart surgery, a seemingly impossible operation perfectly completed.
“Dr. Berry?” Seeing her about to leave, Nixon hurried over
Lea looked at him, her demeanor aloof and inscrutable, keeping people at a distance.
“Th.. thank you.” Nixon, usually adept at social interactions, felt pressured in her presence. “Can I have your number? We often have such high- difficulty surgeries. Hope we can cooperate long–term with you.”
In Nixon’s mind, if he could enlist her help, he could control more lives and reap greater benefits.
“Contact me the same way as this time. Lea simply replied.
Whether she would come for surgery and how to perform it, she would decide. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
He couldn’t help but be shocked, thinking this woman clearly didn’t take him or Fraley Medical seriously, but she didn’t refuse.
Then He removed his gloves and extended his hand. “I look forward to our future cooperation”
Lea nonchalantly extended her hand, still glowed, lightly shook his, and then pocketed her hands in her lab coat, heading for the elevator.
Exiting the elevator, she headed to the staff exit.
The main entrance was too crowded, and Lorrand was waiting for her outside the staff ΕΠΙΤΑΓΗ.
Just as she reached the exit, she heard voices mentioning Shannon and stopped in her tracks.
“Dr. Dunlap, please prescribe the best medicine for me. Money is not an issue. My daughter Shannon and Miss Helen are good friends. Miss Helen said she would handle the medical fees. Thank you very much.”
“Ms. Yancey, please return to your ward and rest.” The doctor’s toor was impatient.
“Okay, thank you. Please take care of my medication.
As soon as the woman left the doctor dialed a number, saying, “Miss Helen, Shannon Yancey is still in the hospital and wants best medicine. She’s perfectly okay for discharge.”
The voice on the phone was inaudible to lea
After a brief pause, the doctor responded, “Alright, I’ll keep her in the hospital until you decide it’s time for her to be discharged”
Lea frowned slightly and continued on her way.
It was already eight in the evening, pitch dark, and the city was just beginning to light up in the height of summer.
Lea had only taken a few steps outside when her footing became unsteady. The surgery was extremely taxing, leaving her physically exhausted and
terly drained.
Lorrand, waiting by the wall, rushed to her side when he saw her. “How did it got Are you alright?”
“All good,” Lea replied.
The surgery went well. During the operation, she seized the opportunity to inject a new drug into the patient’s IV, aiding his
recovery.
Lorrand let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders.
“Miss Lea” Suddenly, he glanced towards the car, signaling her with his eyes, “It’s the gentleman who went to the clinic that morning. He arrived an hour after you entered the operating room and has been waiting here”

Lea’s eyes lit up, and all her fatigue vanished. She quickly removed her gloves, sealed them in a medical sealing bag, and placed them with another sample. Then she took out another sample. One was from Helen and Nixon. The other was from her and Ewan.
“Please take them for a DNA paternity test,” she
She came here today partly to make a name for herself as “Dr. Berry” and partly to obtain Nixon’s DNA.
Lorrand was momentarily stunned, realizing why she had insisted on performing this surgery. “I will handle it as soon as possible.”
Lea nodded.
Suddenly, Lorrand’s phone vibrated, and upon checking, he read. The five million dollars surgery fee has been credited”
They had set up an account overseas for “Dr. Berry.”
Nixon was quick to pay, indicating a strong desire to collaborate with Lea
“Keep it for now,” Lea said.
“Alright!” Lorrand wore a determined expression.
Lea entrusted her bank account to him, sharing such a personal matter, a testament to her trust in him.
Lorrand swore inwardly he wouldn’t let her down
Lea quickly approached, eagerly opening the car door, and there was Alfred.
“Mr. Alfred!” Seeing him here greatly lifted Lea’s spirits.
“What brings you here?” She bent down to take the passenger seat, removing her hat
Alfred looked up to see her long, straight black hair cascading down, her face petite and rosy, her eyes like mars, and her lips like flames, overshadowing the surrounding lights.
With a deep breath. Alfred suddenly leaned in, yanking Lea into his arms and holding her tightly
