Nixon raised his eyes. His paze was cruel and ruthless. “Notify the PR and marketing departments to handle this matter immediately.”
The secretary replied, “Yes.”
The secretary left, leaving him alone in the office. A sinister smile crept across his lips.
The marketing team would devise a perfect solution to handle the situation.
As for the hospital’s reputation, it could restore its image through a few grand charity events and substantial donations, combined with relentless positive media coverage. It would only cost some money
However, Nixon hadn’t anticipated that Riverview Hospital would be so capable of enlisting “Dr. Berry” for the surgery,
He had witnessed her skill during a previous operation at his hospital. With her involved, a miraculous outcome was indeed possible.
This time, Nixon knew he had acted impulsively without fully understanding his opponent. Next time, he would be thoroughly prepared and strike without fail
No
matter how powerful Riverview Hospital might be, Vaporleon City would always be Fraley Medical’s territory.
Suddenly, his phone buzzed. Seeing that it was Matilda calling, he answered.
He assured her. “Don’t worry. I’ll handle the hospital situation. These are minor issues. I’ll let the subordinates handle them.”
Compared to his daughter’s matter, these problems were trivial and the losses could be recouped later.
Matilda said, “Send me what I need, and I’ll get the materials to you immediately
“I’ll take care of it first thing, Nixon replied, his voice softening with affection. “Don’t worry. No matter what, I’ll solve our daughter’s issue perfectly. Our little princess, Helen, will shine like a star.”
“Let’s hope so.” Matilda’s voice sounded better on the phone, though still weary.
Meanwhile, Lea quietly returned to the director’s office, leaned against the desk, and sank into the chair. She was exhausted.
The surgery had been grueling and mentally draining, leaving her feeling utterly spent. After a brief rest to regain some strength, she changed out of her surgical gown and into her school uniform. She let her long hair down, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and headed our the door. Turning a corner in the hallway, her eyes lit up.
Alfred stood leaning against the wall in his black silk shirt. His tall and elegant figure stood out. The diamond cufflinks on his sleeves gleamed in the dim light. He exuded an aura of noble laziness, combining elegance and sensuality
In the moment Lea stood dazed, Alfred straightened and nodded towards the elevator. “Let’s go cat”
Lea nodded. “Okay”
Feeling her body had been hollowed, she needed energy to replenish it. Alfred held the elevator door open for her, and they both entered.
“You just left this morning. Why are you here?” she asked.
Alfred replied, “I had some business to handle at the hospital.
Lea asked, “Did you get it done!”
Alfred responded, “Yes, it’s all sorted.”
They chatted as they left the hospital, and Alfred drove her away.
“What should we eat?” Lea wondered aloud, considering that he couldn’t handle spicy food. Given everything he’d done for the hospital lately, she wanted to treat him to a good meal.
Looking down at her school uniform, she wished she had worn a nice dress for their outing.
Alfred said, “Matilda’s people are monitoring you. Eating out is inconvenient. Let’s go to my place.
“Sure.” Lea replied, her tone light and her f
face brightening with a smile. She needed rest, and being with him lifted her spirits.

Half an hour later, the car pulled into the lakeside villa. Lea followed Alfred inside.
He set the keys down and said, “You go rest for a bit, I’ll handle dinner.
Alfred headed into the kitchen and started working.
Opening the fridge, he saw it was stocked with ingredients, and he couldn’t help but smile. Eddie had indeed done a commendable job, as Expected
Surveying the kitchen, Alfred frowned slightly, but he quickly composed himself. He put on a deep blue apron and began preparing the meal.
Lea stood there, her emotions in turmoil

from the kitchen snapped her out of her thoughts.
She heard more sounds, including running water and some clattering, indicating chaos. From the noises alone, it was clear he didn’t know how to
cook.
Putting down her backpack and taking off her school uniform jacket, Lea rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen. Til handle this”
Alfred turned around, awkwardly rubbing his nose, his cheeks turned red with embarrassment. He had never cooked before but had watched top chefs prepare meals since he was young, thinking it would be simple.
Lea smiled warmly, understanding his predicament.
She said, I’ll cook for you.”
She tied her long hair into a bun, then stepped forward to untie his apron. The strands of her hair brushed against his shirt,
Breathing deeply, Alfred inhaled her unique scent, which filled him with a longing to take in more. He bent down and placed a gentle kiss on her
hair.
Lea stood still, compliant in his embrace.
“Lea,” he said in a husky voice.
“Yes!” She looked up at him.

want to devour you,” Alfred said, his eyes smoldering with desire.
Understanding his meaning, her cheeks flushed.
“Alfred,” Lea said, grabbing his shirt collar and lowering her head to avoid his gaze. “I’m nineteen now.”
