He gritted his teeth and slowly released his grip. Matilla continued tidying up the bed and called forthe doctors and nurses.

The doctor who arrived was Lorrand. He reported Ewan’s condition to Christian. “Mr. Berry’scondition has been relatively stable recently. As long as he cooperates with the treatment, it shouldremain stable. There’s no immediate need for a kidney transplant; we can wait for a suitable donor.

Matilda glanced at him a few times, her gaze cold and sharp. Lorrand had once been one of thetop doctors at Fraley Hospital. They had met several times and collaborated on a few surgeries. Hewas supposed to have vanished from the medical field, yet here he was, now the director of thishospital. Riverview SmanMed had repeatedly sabotaged Fraley, both openly and covertly, causingthem significant losses. Once she dealt with Lea and the Berry family, she would also replace a way toeliminate them.

Christian felt a wave of relief wash over him after hearing the news, Helen had already undergonekidney compatibility testing with Ewan but was not a match. As for Lea–With so many peoplenationwide waiting for kidney transplants, replaceing a suitabile match for him was not an rasy taskand would take time.

However, outwardly, Christian still maintained a stern expression. “If there’s nothing else, go back. Ifyou don’t want to resignation.”

Lorrand immediately interjected, “Mr. Berry’s condition hasn’t completely stabilized yet. He needs toremain hospitalized for treatment.

Lea stated that Ewan couldn’t be discharged yet, at least not for another two weeks. She couldn’tafford to let him out and disrupt her plans. While Matilda was indeed part of her agenda, sheneeded first to take control of Fraley Hospital to defeat her truly.

Christian still didn’t show any signs of softening. “On the seventh of next month, on Lea’snineteenth birthday, Ill transfer 5% of the shares to her. If you’re still around by then, you can bearwitness”

With several changes in share ownership, Lea held 5% of the shares. Adding these fivepercentage points, she held a higher percentage than Matilda’s 91. It enabled her to enter the boardof directors and participate in the company’s decision–making. It wasn’t just a simple transfer ofshares, it granted Lea equal authority within the company.

Matilda’s eyes narrowed as she shot him a glare. Agreeing to this was akin to helping someone whowas beyond redemption. If he were more capable, these shares should rightfully be in hispossession.

Lea glanced at Manida and then turned to Ewan, saying. The medical standards here are excellent.Dad will be discharged in good health in time for my birthday.”

Dressed in a white dress, Lea smiled innocently, her youthfulness and beauty making it hard not tobe charmed. Ewan muttered, “Okay” and nodded in agreminent.

Matilda’s lips twitched in a sneer, her gaze turning cold and fierce. She thought, Want shares of theBerry Group? Dream on I would make you spit out every shurr you owned and kick you out. Abirthday celebration 1 would ensure it was a grand and unforgettable event”

After issuing his orders. Christian stormed out of the ward, his expression furious, and Victorfollowed closely behind. Meanwhile, Lea stayed behind under the pretext of caring for him andfollowed Lorrand to fetch some medication. The couple remained alone in the ward, and the nursesavoided disturbing them.

“Get out!” With no one else around, Ewan directly berated Matilda. “Stop pretending to be theperfect wife here, It’s disgusting!”

Matilda was pouring water for him when her hand tightened around the cup, lier fingertips turningpale. She gritted her teeth and endured it. After all, she wouldn’t have to endure much longer.

Matilda turned around and handed him the water. “You’re the patient now, I won’t argue with you. Ifthere’s anything, we can talk about it when you’re discharged”

Ewan glared at her, his eyes red with anger, giving his gaze a frightening edge. After he wasdischarged, it would be time to settle things with her once and for all

After a long while, Ewan didn’t take the cup Matilda placed it on the bedside table and left the ward.He stared at the door, waiting for her to be gone entirely. He then picked up his phone and dialed anumber. His tone filled with frustration. “When will my reconls be ready?”

“Mr. Berry, we have indeed uncovered many crucial pieces of information, but there’s one criticalmatter that still needs further investigation, and it’s crucial for you. Please wait a bit longer. 111 be in

Vaporleon City in the next few days to personally deliver it to you, ensuring your satisfaction”

“Hurry up” He urged again before hanging up the phone.

Sunding on the glass corridor of the righth floor of the hospital’s main building, Lea looked downbelow. It was the early midsummer evening, and the setting sun added endless splendor to the city.

A burgundy Bentley slowly pulled out of the parking lot. Matilda didn’t accompany Christian thistime, opting for a solo trip. Watching the car disappear onto the highway, Lea headed towards theinformation technology offer at the end of the corridor.

The office, roughly 2000 square feet, was divided into four spaces: an open workspace and threeprivate offices. Over a dozen technical staff members were diligently working, the sound ofkeyboards, clicking in unison filling the air. They were deeply focused and exhibited remarkably highefficiency in their tasks.

Shannon sat at the outermost seat at the long desk closest to the entrance, still wearing herVaporleon High School uniform. While everyone else had shed their uniforms after the SAT exam,she continued to wear hers. It was her best attire, as she struggled with poverty and owed asignificant amount of debt. Fortunately, Chris had recently advanced some of her wages, helpingher repay her debts. However, Shannon still owed the hospital tens of thousands of dollars inmedical fees, and she and her mother, Donna, needed to make ends meet.

Even though the hospital hadn’s billed Shannon for Donna’s medical expenses, she still had to pay.With her new job and the relatively high salary it provided. Shannon could gradually repay thesedebts.

Across from her sat two other technicians doing the same job as her. The rest of the tram wasengaged in hospital related tasks, primarily focusing on further developing the hospital’s intelligentsystems. Another team of three was dedicated to developing the hospital’s security systems.

Lea entered and sat beside Shannon’s workstation, where the computer screen displayed theupcoming tasks. Chris pushed the door open with a squeak, and she exited the office, holding herphone. “Miss Berry, everything’s ready. Mr. Alfred just called, and they’re ready on their end, too.Once you give the word, their message will be out, Chris informed.

“Okay, Lea responded, swiveling her chair to face the window. The sun had already descendedhalfway, painting the sky with eerie clouds tinted with the hues of the setting sun.

Shannon enlarged the window on her computer screen, her pupils dilating as she examined thecontents. She then reported to Lea, “Matilda’s car has entered the underground parking garage ofFraley Hospital headquarters. Should we continue to track her?”

The entrance to the underground parking garage was surrounded by numerous surveillancedevices, making it easy to monitor externally, However, internally, the security system was high,posing a challenge. They’ve examined the building system inside and even had someonedisguised to survey it. Still, Maulda’s private elevator shafts are all blind spots, making it even morechallenging to investigate.

“No need.” Lea sud.

At this time, Matilda’s visit to Fraley Hospital wasn’t related to work matters but rather a privaterendezvous with her lover. Since Jeffrey’s death, she had been busy with funeral arrangements,trying to improve her image in front of Christian and avoiding suspicion by refraining from seeingNixon. However, now that she had sorted things out with the Berry family, she had importantmatters to discuss with him, hence the visit. These details were ones Lea preferred not to dwell onand deemed unnecessary.

She said to Chris. “Just wait a little longer. There was a hint of mischief in her eyes as she spoke.Such a grand gift needs to be presented at a more appropriate time to make it grand, sensational,and thrilling enough..
