Chapter 221

“Miss Berry, are you alright? Lorrand asked worriedly. It was rare to see such an expression on herface

Lea came back to her senses and shook her head. “I’m fine.

He looked at her with concern, then at the report in her hand.

He knew her background very well

This Joey was actually related to her by blood. In other words, if she continued to investigate, shemight be able to replace her parents.

As a father, he naturally knew the importance of blood relations and the value of kinship. This was abig deal to her. But this was her private matter, He couldn’t interfere unless she asked.

So he said. “If you need anything, just call me. I’m here.”

“Yes” Lea nodded and put the report into the shredder. “Don’t let a third party know about this.”

I know, he promised, “Tll get ready for the hospital’s opening”

“Go on” She stayed in the office alone for a while before going to the ward.

It was already dark outside. The curtains were tightly drawn, and the room was dark. The warm lightat the door shone some light in, making the ward environment very suitable for patients torecuperate.

She walked lightly to the bed and looked at the person on the bed.

In her previous life, she had a son. The heavy and strong bond of kinship surged up again.Although it was not as strong as her own flesh and blood. the way she looked at Joeyunconsciously deepened and her expression softened.

Now that she looked at him carefully, his eyelashes were very long, his nose bridge was verystraight, and his skin was very smooth. His entire body had a natural sense of exquisiteness, justlike her.

She wondered what kind of relationship he had with her

After an unknown period of time, the ward door was pushed open

She suddenly came back to her senses and saw the Alvarez couple walking in.

For the past few days, they would come to watch over their son whenever they had the chance..

The two of them were surprised to see Lea there. She seemed that she had been there for a longtime.

“Miss Berry, why are you here” Syndey couldn’t help but ask.

Lea said, Tm here to check on him.”

Their son’s background was still a mystery. Only Lea and Lorrand knew that she was related to himby blood. There was no need for them to know about these things now. The couple was instantlyfilled with gratitude.

Marcus said, “Miss Berry, how is Joey now?”

“Don’t worry, the serum can stabilize his condition.”

Both the couple breathed a sigh of relief

Im so grateful to you. Miss Berry. I don’t know what to say Syndey approached her with tears in hereyes.

Ever since her son’s accident, she had become a crybaby,

“You’re welcome. It’s my duty” She looked at the couple and became much gentler.

“Willow and 1 are classmates and roommates. She takes good care of me. You guys can just callme Lea.”

The two of them were instantly flattered. They felt that their spoiled daughter could not compare toLeo.

Not to mention anything else, just based on her medical expertise, even Marshall was willing tolisten to her. They wondered if she was a rare talent.

They could tell that the people in the hospital, including Charles, were not ordinary people, but theyall listened to her. They also vaguely felt that she was the boss behind this hospital.

Not to mention their daughter, they felt that it was usually impossible for someone like them tomatch up to such a person.

Sydney said, “Miss Berry, you’re too kind. Willow is too careless. Our family doesn’t deserve it.

Lea said, “Sydney, you’re being too serious. Willow is kind and warm–hearted. She’s a good friendthat’s hard to come by. We’ve been living together in school for the past four years. Ill cherish ourfriendship”

The couple sized her up. Seeing that Lea was calm and sincere, their hearts were filled withgratitude.

They were not shy people, so they accepted it. The way they looked at her became friendly as ifthey were looking at their own daughter.

Sydney said, “Lea, please take care of our Willow from now on. Marcus and I are both inneuromedical research. We have some achievements. If you need anything, just tell us. If theAlvarez family can help, we will do our best

Marcus nodded and promised,

Lea saved Joey and was the savior of the Alvarez family.

Twill. Lea didn’t see them as outsiders.

Lea turned to look at the patient on the bed. “You guys should accompany him.”

Both parties gave each other a knowing look.

The couple watched her leave and sat down by the bed.

Joey was maintained with serum, and the laboratory was in full swing making strong serum. Therewere not many classes at the university, and Lea had Marshall’s help to apply for leave. She spentmost of her time in the hospital.

The renovation of the hospital had basically been completed. They used eco–friendly and harmlessmaterials

She cooperated with the inspection and intelligent system test. A large amount of medicalequipment and medicine were also transported to the hospital

The newly recruited staff were also undergoing induction training

There were more and more people in the hospital, and they got busy one after another. In the blinkof an eye, a week had passed.

“The autumn in Iverton was a rainy season. It had been sunny for half a month, and on Fridayafternoon, there was suddenly a heavy rain.

After the meeting. Lea came out of the office and saw Shannon standing in the corridor. Her longhair was wet and stuck to her cheeks. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was pale. Herface was covered in rainwater and tears. She was in a daze as if she had been frightened.

“Lea, they’re here Her voice was hoarse and trembling. Her entire body was trembling

Lea had known her for so long. Even in Vaporleon City, she had never been so afraid when shewas captured to replace Helen for the crime of murder.

Shannon’s entire body was soaked by the rain and was dripping with water. Behind her, wherevershe walked, there were also water stains.

They were in different majors. Shannon had classes this afternoon, but Lea didn’t. She knew thatshe had returned from school,

However, Shannon’s bag was not on her. There was nothing on her. She had braved the heavy rainand fled back here in a panic.

“It’s okay. I’m here, Lea said firmly and gently. “Go to the office and change your clothes first.”

Otherwise, she would get sick.

Lea brought Shannon to her office. Chris had documents for her to sign and stamp, she was stillwaiting for her in her office.

Seeing Shannon’s appearance, she was also shocked.

However, she did not say anything and waited at the side.

Lea sent her to her bedroom first. In her current mood, Shannon could not take a shower. Shechanged wet clothes and came out.

Lea took a towel and wanted to help her wipe her dripping hair.

Shannon said, “I do it myself.”

She was not that delicate and needed someone to serve her. Moreover, after seeing Lea andreturning here, she felt sale and calmed down a lon.

Shannon’s body was a little weak as she sat down on the chair.

Chris poured a cup of coffee and handed it to her. “Have some drink to ward off the cold.”

She took it and drank it in one gulp.

1. p. She was still trembling.

“Who are they?” Lea asked, a sharp glint in her deep eyes.

Shannon looked up at them. They were the people she could completely rely on and trust.

“They’re… my parents? Her voice was still trembling, and her expression was filled with fear. “My…biological parents”

After school in the afternoon, she was in a hurry to rush back to the hospital to help catch up onwork. She held an umbrella and walked out of the school in the rain. A black BMW SUV stoppedher.

A rich lady in her forties got out of the car. The servant held an umbrella for her. The lady wasstanding on a high spot, close to her. The rain from the umbrella splashed on her face and clothes.

Shannon tried to back away, but the woman’s bodyguards blocked her way. “Shannon, hello. I’mJessie Moore, your biological mother”

Shannon’s spupils

dilated as if she had been struck by lightning.

The noblewoman turned around and looked into the car. The door of the SUV was open. Inside wasa frail man in his forties, but he looked to be in his fifties or sixties. His face was pale, his aura wasfloating, and his hair was white.

Shannon did not know much about medicine, yet she knew that the other party was very sick

The man’s eyes were naturally cold, but when he looked at her, he tried his best to look gentle andclose, but no one could feel the slightest warmth. It was as if there was an insurmountable barrierbetween them

There was another person sitting beside him. It was Leona, who had targeted Shannon time andtime again.

She felt uncomfortable under the man’s gaze and could not care about Shannon.

Jessie said, “He’s your father, Quintin Moore. We’re here to take you home.”

Shannon stood at the bottom and looked up at her. The rain was heavy and the umbrella blockedher Jessie looked disdainful, just like when Leona slandered Shannon

Shannon was already resistant and did not want to come into contact with such people. Now thatshe heard this, she was even more repulsed There “was also deep fear in her heart.

Shannon thought of Donna Yancey

Every cell in her body resisted. She said, “You’re mistaken. Im not your child.”

With that, she turned around and was about to rush out.

A bodyguard stepped in front of her.

She turned around and looked at the noblewoman. The resistance and discomfort in her heart wereabout to burst out. “You really got the wrong person. Don’t get in my way.”

She clenched her hands into fists to control herself

“Shannon, you’re really Mom and Dad’s daughter Leona got out of the car and rushed to her sidewithout even holding an umbrella. She hugged her arm and begged. “Daddy is sick and needs abone marrow transplant. Daddy needs you very much. The family needs you very much. Comehome with us!”

Leona almost knelt down and begged her.

The pouring rain instantly drenched her. The servants did not even have time to hold an umbrellafor her.

With the example of Donna, Shannon was afraid of the concept of a mother and even a father.

They were high and mighty people who treated her like dirt. It was already unacceptable for her tosuddenly accept that they were her biological parents.

After hearing what Leona said, Shannon suddenly pushed her away like a madman and ranforward.

Leona grabbed her bag and it fell to the ground. Shannon was completely unaware of it and onlywanted to escape.

“Shannon, Shannon… Leona’s anxious cry came from behind with a pleading tone.

Jessie also ordered the servants, “Chase after her

Shannon ran forward as if she was running for her life.

The crowd at the entrance of the school was congested. There was already a traffic jam, and withthe heavy rain, the cars could not drive out, so they did not catch Shanon

She hailed a taxi and rushed to the hospital

Lea and Chris looked at each other. Lea’s expression became even colder.

“Who is it?” To be able to scare Shannon like this, Lea knew that those people were definitely notkind

“It’s the Moore family, Leona’s parents. After saying that, Shannon bither lips nervously,

Lea frowned and her gaze was sharp.

Leona had helped Abigail target them several times. She had already remembered her

Leona was different from Abigail and the others. People like Abigail still had to have some dignity.They had done a lot of superficial work. However, Leona’s meanness, snobbery, and viciousnesscame from her bones. She looked repulsive from the inside out.

Now that Lea thought about it, she felt that Leona was very similar to Donnain this aspect.

Lea asked, “Don’t tell me she’s Donna’s daughter. Did you two swap places when you were born!”

“It’s possible,” Chris said, “I accidentally discovered that after Donna left Vaporleon City, she cameto Iverton and often went to the Moore family. Unintentionally, she even discovered that Donnaoften went to the Moore family a lot.

Lea glanced at her and thought, ‘Good job, I will increase your bonus this month:

Chris smiled and thought, You can add all you want

She knew that they had just arrived at Iverton Other than being busy with school matters, they wereworking overtime at the hospital. Chris gave them a hule introduction. This Moore family is quitefamous in Iverton. The founder of Moore Technology, Wade Moore, is the first–generation computerengineer in the country. He is a rare software development genius. In his hands, Moore Technologywas once a top software technology company in the country!

She said to Shannon, “He’s your great–grandfather.”

They now understood where Slunnon’s computing talent came from.

Chris knew most of the wealthy families in Iverton like the back of her hand.

She continued, “However, when it came to your grandfather’s generation, his aptitude was muchmore mediocre. Coupled with how rich he was, after your great–grandfather passed away, thefamily went downhill. When the family lineage was passed down, power struggles and internal strife

were serious. Within a few years, they were overtaken by their domestic and foreign competitors. Inyour grandfather’s later years, eighteen or nineteen years ago, about a year or two after you wereborn, the company could no longer operate.

“Your grandfather, Heath Moore, sold the company’s core technology. Moore Technology becamean electronics processing company and was once the largest electronics processing company inthe country. However, their electronic processing technology is also getting more and more.backward. They can only barely maintain it now. The market value of the company is about 10billion”

In her eyes, the current Moore Corporation was indeed not powerful enough.

Seeing that Shannon was so frightened and had escaped back here in the storm, Chris knew thatQuintin and his wife were not kind people.

On the other hand, with a young genius like her among the Moore family descendants, the familyhad new hope. Unfortunately, Shannon was lost in the past. It was still the same situation now,

The Moore Group was not worthy of Lea’s attention

The behavior of the Moore couple had violated her taboo. She thought. What is the differencebetween such parents and people like Matilda and

Donna?

In her previous life, she had been abandoned by her biological parents. Then, she was unable toprotect her child. Such things were taboo to her.

She looked at Shannon and said resolutely, “You’re already an adult. You don’t need a guardiananymore. Whether you acknowledge them or not is up to you. Even your biological parents don’thave the right to force you to transplant your bone marrow to them.”

Only then did Shannon heave a sigh of relief. With their support, she regained some confidence andsecurity, “I won’t acknowledge them, nor will I return to the Moore family and transplant my bonemarrow.

The psychological trauma left by Donna had yet to be eliminated. The Moore couple had suddenlyappeared to ask her for a bone marrow transplant to save Quintin

Shannon felt that they were even worse than Donna. She would rather avoid seeing them.

Chris’s phone rang. It was a call from the security guard downstairs. “Ms. Foster, someone is here.They’re looking for Miss Yancey and Miss Berry What do you think we should do?”

The hospital had not officially opened for business yet, and the security work was not doneaccording to procedure. Furthermore, it was after work. He could not contact Shannon and Leadirectly, so he could only call Chris.

1 got i

tit. She hung up.

The three of them went to the window and saw two black SUVS parked downstairs. One was aspecial car and the other was a bodyguard’s car. Some people were holding umbrellas in the rain.

The Moore family had chased Shannon to the hospital.
