After a while, Lea finally calmed down I need to see Frank before going to my exam

Alfred nodded “Don’t push yourself too hard. You can take the exam next year it needed. If youwant to go to Everton, I’ll replace a way Wherever you want to be. I’ll be there with you.

Lea pondried silently, not saying another word. She understood then what it meant to truly lovesomeone In her previous life, Milton’s love had come with conditions and expectations, which wereconstant goals to achieve and values to create. Milion was so adept at nanipulating emotions that itwas hard to notice his true intentions. “Tknow” Lea nodded.

“Let’s get you changed, Alfred sail, opening a bag and taking out some clothes. The bag had beenpacked by Jason when he retrieved Lea’s belongings from the old residence after she was rescuedand sent to the hospital. There were the clothes she

needed inside

Lea undid a couple of buttons on her hospital gown but paused, looking up at Alfred, her cheeksflushing

Alfred chuckled and ruttled her hair. Til go get breakfast ready for you” He took a step towards thedoor, then turned back and whispered in her ear with a magnetic, teasing voice, Im afraid if I watch,I won’t be able to control myself”

Lea held her breath, her face turning red down to her neck. Alfred kisard her neck lightly beforeleaving the room. She had to take a few deep breaths to steady her heartbeat before changing herclothes.

Twenty minutes later, Alfred returned with breakfast. As he opened the door, his eyes widened insurprise. Lea was wearing a long white dress that reached her ankles, covering the scars on herlegs. She wore white shoes, and over the dress, she had on a blue school jacket. The dress’spuffed sleeves peeked out from the jacket, tied with a bow, hiding the scars on her wrists. Her longhair was styled to cover the bruises on her forehead, and she had applied light makeup to concealthe lighter injuries on her face. Even her pale complexion now had a hint of color. No one wouldbelieve she had survived a life–and- death ordeal just the night before.

“I put on some makeup, Lea said, feeling uneasy under Alfred’s gaze. She had become adept atthese things. In her previous life, she had studied fashion, dressing, and makeup to fit in with highsociety, to avoid embarrassing Milton, and to

win his favor.

Alfred walked up to Lea, his eyes filled with admiration. “You look cute

They ate breakfast together before Alfred took her to see Frank. As the hospital room door opened,they both paused in

surprise

Standing in the doorway was a figure that was hard to miss, a man towering at 6 feet 4 inches witha strong build. He was around Lea’s age, his eyes red with worry as he looked at her. He was thefirst man who arrived at the underground storage room last night

“Yannis Sanders, the young man introduced himself, seeing Leas confusion.

A month ago, Yannis got dumped at Lorrand’s clinic and Lea performed heart surgery on him,saving his life. He had been brought to this hospital for the best treatment and had mostlyrecovered. Last night upon hearing from Lorrand that Lea was missing, Yanmis had startedsearching for her.

Lea remembered, Yannis was the boxer she had saved at Lorrand’s private clinic a month ago. Hehad been the first to arrive at the underground storage room last night to rescue her.

“Miss Leal”

“Miss Berry!”
