Chapter 147
“It’s my mother.” Alfred’s deep voice suppressed his extreme discomfort. “When I was three years old, my parents and I were kidnapped and the kidnappers hurt us.”
He subconsciously tightened his grip on Lea’s upper waist.
“They starved us for a long time before they extracted my mother’s blood and forced me to drink it. I…
An aura of extreme despair burst out from him. The strength in his grip almost broke Lea’s waist.
up in Lea’s “Alright, alright…” Lea endured the pain and turned around. She hugged him and touched his head. gently. Her fingers grabbed his hair tightly, strong yet gentle. Tears welled understand.”
Alfred must have been very young then, but he remembered everything so clearly.
It must have been really painful for him.

Lea recalled how she had watched her young son fall to his death in her previous life. The memory alone threatened to engulf her.
Alfred buried his face in her waist and felt the warm aura from Lea’s body before he slowly calmed
down.
He pulled away and stroked her cheek with his fingers as he looked into her eyes. Although her eyes were still red, they were clear. “Don’t worry. I’m fine. Look, with you here, I’ve made it through
two times already…”
Alfred swallowed and suppressed the rest of his words.
It would be truly terrifying when he lost all his rationality.
Even Craig and Eddie had never seen him like that before.
No one in the country had.
Lea opened her mouth but did not know what to say. She just felt suffocated.
Alfred gently kissed the corner of her red eyes. “So you are my medicine. Lea, don’t ever leave me.”
“Okay, I won’t leave you.” Of course, Lea could not bear to leave him. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
At Iverton, other than the people involved, no one knew that that had been a chilling assassination attempt at the hotel yesterday. Naturally, no one knew that this attempt had caused the fallout of a major assassin organization.

The news had reported that there had been a fire at a hotel in the middle of the night and three people had died. As such, it was an issue that caused a huge sensation when the news was released. However, it was quickly replaced by other news of celebrities or wealthy people having affairs.
Of course, this was all arranged by Eddie to attract attention away from the incident at the hotel.
The three people who died were all assassins. One of them was seriously injured and was captured alive by Craig for interrogation.
If no one pursued the matter, the news would slowly be forgotten.
Just like that, the matter was left unsettled.
The detained killer had now become a wanted criminal and was secretly sent to the Vaporleon City police.
In Vaporleon City, the crime syndicate incident had caused a sensation in the city.
At Berry Villa, Matilda had also not slept for almost the entire night. She held her phone and paced around the study.
Fraley Hospital was in trouble, so naturally, she could not sleep and had been waiting for news. from Iverton.
That night, Nixon had sent some of his men as well using all of his resources on this matter.
At this point, they had no other choice.
However, the sun was already up but Matilda had not received any news yet.
“Mrs. Berry, you haven’t slept all night. Do you want to have a rest?” Max asked.
“Shut up!” Matilda retorted in a deep voice, glaring at Max.
Her gaze was sharp and furious.
“Thinking of sleep at a time like this? The situation has evolved like this because I have useless. people around me!‘ Matilda thought.
Max shrank back timidly.
After a while, he said carefully, “Mrs. Berry, there’s news online that the police are fighting a large criminal gang. Do you need me to investigate?”
Fraley Hospital’s case was very complicated. He wanted to find out if this matter would affect them.
“How can I have the energy to care about these things now?” Matilda was angry again.
She couldn’t even care about what was in front of her.
“What’s the situation with Mr. Donovan?” Max asked.
At the mention of Nixon, Matilda lowered her voice
Nixon was the man she loved and cared for most deeply.
“Mr. Fraley had informed him to go to the hospital and has gone over personally as well. They must. be discussing countermeasures now.” Matilda answered.
After Nixon was bailed out, it was not convenient for her to see him. She could only send someone to secretly find out about his situation.
“Get the car ready. We’re going to the hospital.”
Matilda needed to see him and ask him about the assassins that had been sent to kill Lea.
Both Matilda’s father and Nixon had to discuss the hospital’s matters. She needed to know what was going on so that she could find a solution to help the hospital.
It had been several days since operations had ceased at Fraley Hospital.
Most of the glass doors and other facilities on the ground floor of the building had been destroyed, and there was trash everywhere.
The medical team had also been dissolved. Many doctors, nurses, and even security personnel left silently. There was no way for them to go through the resignation process either.
Some of them went to other hospitals for interviews but when it was revealed that they used to work for Fraley Hospital, they were rejected. Some doctors had even been forced to change career paths.
The former top hospital in Vaporleon City was in ruins from top to bottom, and from the inside
out.
Only some of the staff remained at their posts, waiting for the outcome of the case and orders from the higher–ups.
Only these were left to support the struggling hospital.
A Porsche Panamera stopped on the ground floor. The door opened and Henry got out.
He was dressed in a dark gray shirt and had gray hair. His expression was cold and he exuded the arrogance and dignity of an old nobleman.
Upon seeing him, a figure walked out from behind the pillar in front of the outpatient building.
18:37
He was wearing a white shirt, and his long hair looked messy. His tall and thin figure looked even thinner, and his back was a little hunched. He looked timid.
It was Nixon.
After his arrest, all his connections, be it the high–ranking officials whose lives he had saved or the rich people who had something on him, cut off all contact with him. No one stepped up to help
him.
This was too big of a mess for anyone to save him, even if they had influence and
These people only wanted to stay far away and not be implicated.

Looking at the current situation, even the hospital could not be protected, least of all Nixon. The Fraley family had taken the biggest hit,

over.
When Nixon saw Henry, he immediately went up to him. “Mr. Fraley…”
Henry had bailed Nixon out and was Nixon’s only hope.
If Henry was willing to save him, Nixon could still survive. As long as he was alive, there was a chance to turn things around.
If Henry did not help him, even if he was not sentenced to death, he would be sentenced to life imprisonment.
As such, Nixon had no choice but to grovel before Henry.
Henry narrowed his eyes and looked at him disdainfully. Nixon looked disheveled, like a stray puppy, or worse.
Henry had always looked down on Nixon but it was only worse now.
He regretted letting Nixon enter the Fraley Group and regretted promoting him to the head of th hospital.
However, Nixon was still useful.
“Let’s talk inside.”
The two of them entered one of the public meeting rooms in the outpatient building.
“Mr. Fraley, have a seat.
Nixon went forward and pulled out the best chair. When he saw that it was covered in dust, he immediately wiped it clean with his sleeve and straightened it so that Henry could sit.
Henry went

Nixon turned around and realized that the water disp inside had long been drained, and the cups had been shards everywhere.

Nixon was shocked. “Wait… What?”

However, Nixon was still shocked to hear Henry say
“But… I’ll be sentenced to the death penalty!”
