“Alfred. Lea’s voice was horse as if there were sand in her throat. Last night, her voice had beendamaged by the smoke. As soon as she spoke, her eyes filled with tears. She leaned to the sideand threw herself into Alfred’s arms. He immediately held her tightly

here? What

After calming down in Alfred’s arms Lea fully woke up. “Aren’t you supposed to be back in Iverton?Why are you day and time is it now? She anxioushed to get out of bed. She still had the SAT exam.She wondered if she had missed it. Alfred pressed her back into his en 10’s June 7th, 6:30 in themorning

Lea let out a long sigh of relief, and a it smile appeared. “Luckily, I haven’t missed the exam! Shedreamed of getting into her dream university and going overton with Alfred.

Seeing this, Alfred felt a pang of sorrow and pulled Lea into a tight, comforting embrace. Worriedabout her condition, he reluctantly let go after a while. Til call Lorrand to check on you,

“No need I’m fine Lea tugged at her hospital gown. Her left wrist hurt and her right toe ached, butthe wounds had been treated. It was a normal reaction. These injuries weren’t too serious. Shecould bear this pain. Her mind, still clear from the remnants of the drugs, felt sharp and alert. Thatstuff really wakes me up. It’s truly a blessing. Just wait for my good results.”

Alfred couldnt do anything but feel sorrowful for her.

“Where’s Frank: What happened to that underground storage room? Lea asked.

The Fraley Group and the Fraley Medical were giant entities and Lea had never found anopportunity. Now, she had Frank. As long as she had this leverage, she could bring down FraleyHospital and destroy the Fraley family. And that storage room. was the evidence repository. This isa life–and–death game. I’ve survived, so this time, they won’t live, Lea thought as she smiled, herpale skin glowing with a radiant hue. Her crystal–clear eyes shimmered with a light that seemedcapable of destroying everything in its path.

Alfred’s breath hitched, determined never to let something like this happen again. “He’s alive andunder control. He stroked Lea’s hair, calming her down. “The underground storage room has beenhanded over to the military for a secret investigation. Their thoughts aligned. Knowing what Leawanted to do, Alfred had prepared everything for her.

“The military Lea was taken aback. Involving the military could affect her actions. She had finallycaught such a good opportunity.

“Don’t worry, they’re just investigating and controlling the situation. They won’t interfere with you,”Alfred comforted.

Lea’s anxious heart finally settled. She also realized that he had called in the military to rescue herand help her. She could imagine what he and everyone had gone through that night to replace andsave her. She nuzzled her chin against his chest. “Alfred, don’t worry. I won’t let something like thishappen again, I’ll arrange for more security measures to protect myself

Alfred had a lot he wanted to say, safety measures he wanted to arrange for her, but now hecouldn’t voice them. He lifted Lea’s chin, his tone both a command and a plea, “Lea, don’t leave mealone for the rest of my life.” His voice was hoarse, and he was trembling. He was terrified of losingher, of being left alone. She had no idea how scared he was.

“I won’t Lea stood on tiptor, hugging Alfred’s neck tightly, promising with all her might. “Til be withyou forever. We’ll always be together”
