Chapter 278

Lorenzo froze on the spot, staring blankly at Willow on the bed. After a moment, she turned overand fell back asleep. It turned out she was dreaming.

He had planned to leave, but for some inexplicable reason, he pulled a chair over and sat besidethe bed.

It was already late. In an hour or two, the early light began to seep through the gap in the curtains.Dawn was breaking.

After watching Willow sleep for a while, Lorenzo finally

y got up and left.

As dawn approached, Shannon carried a cup of coffee to her office.

Last night, Lawrence organized some materials, and she helped with some research before goingto bed.

Knowing there would be many messages to check today, she quickly had breakfast and hurried toher office with her coffee.

Seeing someone at the office door, Shannon stopped in her tracks, and her expression turnedcold.

Jessie stood at the door, wearing a brown woolen long dress and wrapped in a thick shawl It lookedlike she had been waiting for a while

Seeing that Shannon had no intention of approaching her, Jessie had no choice but to step forward.“Shannon, you came to work so early

She had already guessed Shannon would arrive early.

Last night, she accompanied her husband to the hospital for a diagnosis. Following the procedure,they admitted him to the cardiology department, where he was assigned to the medical team led byLorrand. The efficiency was impeccable, leaving them with no complaints. Moreover, Lorrand wascurrently the most skilled doctor at the hospital.

Jessie, who had been following the news online regarding the hospital, specifically came to replaceShannon.

Not knowing Shannon’s dormitory, she inquired with the staff and was only given her office address.She assumed that Shannon would be working overtime under such circumstances as the technicaldirector.

“Is there something you need, Mrs. Moore?” Shannon’s tone was distant,

The Moore family had decided to acknowledge her as their daughter. Shannon accepted this, andshe had slightly more patience with Jessie.

Jessie said, “Your father has been admitted to VVIP608. If you have time, you could visit him. Hereally wants to see you.”

“Okay” Shannon replied blandly. She had found a way to deal with them, simply coping as long asthey did not interfere with her important

maller.

Shannon scrutinized Jessie. Seeing Jessie had nothing more to say, Shannon walked toward heroffice

Jessie called out again, “Shannon. You should resign.

Jessie had investigated the situation at the hospital. Stunnon had signed an employment contractand was a formal employee in a key position. If the hospital was in trouble, she couldn’t escaperesponsibility.

Given the hospital’s current situation, the consequences could range from imprisonment to a lifesentence or even the death penalty. The Moore family couldn’t have such a blemish.

Shannon’s anger flared, her fists clenching.

Even though the mix–up at birth was not Jessie’s fault, Jessie had done nothing for her since shelearned the truth. She had no right to interfere in her decision. But soon, Shannon’s fists relaxed.

Shannon asked, “Oh, why?”

Jessie replied, “Shannon, I’m your mother…”

a cold glare.

Jessir swallowed hard. “If you continue working here, you’ll be implicated with the hospital”

Shannon’s anger intensified. Jessie had already judged the hospital without knowing the truth.They never cared about the truth, only their

Hearing that, Shannon instinctively

Shannon asked, “Is that so! Then isn’t it dangerous for Mr. Moore to come here for treatment?”

Jessie said, “Shannon, your father is different. He.. The hospital scandal didn’t concern him.

That’s strange. You question the hospital yet trust its medical skills. Mrs. Moore, how do youmanage that?” Shannon stared at Jessic

ssie felt a shock in her chest as if struck heavily. She was momentarily speechless.

Please leave. I have work to do.” Shannon moved past her and headed to her office.

Shannon!” Jessie called out, but security was approaching from the end of the corridor, She hadjust reached the office door.

irs. Moore, is there a problem?” the security guard asked sternly

No… She understood Shannon’s stance. Continuing the conversation was pointless

Essie couldn’t understand why Shannon didn’t listen to her. Frustrated, she felt uncomfortable.

hannon entered her office, placed her coffee on the table, and checked for information online.Nothing had come in from Lea, so she didn’t need

investigate further.

Sloticing Jessic had left, Shannon felt relieved. The security guard had been assigned by thehospital to protect her from the Moore family’s

nerference.

d to visit Lorrand

Checking her watch, she decided to

In the director’s office, Lorrand had just organized Quintin’s medical records.

Lea had already informed Lorrand about using the smart pacemaker on Quintin to promote itsmarket entry, requiring Lorrand to collaborate with the research team. He hadn’t slept all night andwas planning to catch up on rest.

Then, he heard someone knocking on his door. “Come in,” he called out

Shannon entered and saw his bloodshot eyes, feeling a twinge of guilt.

There shouldn’t be any major issues if there was no news about Yannis She thought she shouldn’ttake up more of Lorrand’s time, but she couldn’t help coming.

“Yannis is fine, Lorrand said directly.

He was experienced and could read Shannon’s thoughts. He had been wondering how to conveythe news to her, but she had come on her own.

Lorrand said, “It was a normal injury from a boxing match. Although it is serious, he has takenmedicine, and being in detention will allow him to rest well. You know his physical condition. He willrecover quickly.”

He was trying to comfort her. Realistically, recovery wouldn’t be so quick. It wouldn’t be fatal, butonly a boxing champion’s willpower could endure

Shannon sighed in relief and said, “Thank you. I’ll get back to work.”

She left the office, feeling much lighter.

Lorrand locked Quintin’s records in a drawer and headed to his dorm for some rest.

In the lab’s specialized testing section, daylight filtered through the curtains. Lea, dressed in a labcoat, hat, and mask, placed a blood sample into the machine and moved to the computer as itdisplayed a series of data.

She moved the cursor in scan the data, exhaled, and printed the results

After working most of the night, she finally analyzed the components of Tyrant Dragon’s blood.

Luckily, the hospital had the latest smart testing instruments, which Lea had designed for internalexperiments. Otherwise, such detailed chemical components wouldn’t have been detected.

She straightened up, and someone hugged her from behind, their warm chest pressing against herback. The familiar scent told her it was Alfred Her tired, cold body immediately warmed up.

He said, “Honey, if you don’t go to sleep soon, I won’t let you continue on your own?

With his endearing terni, Lea leaned back into him.

His chan rested on her shoulder, and he held her tightly

Alfred asked, “Shall I send someone to eliminate those who covet our hospital?

His eyes were filled with a destructive glint.

Chapter 278.

At midnight, he had finished his tasks and called Jason to check on Lea. He learned about thenight’s events.

He investigated further and found her in the lab. Knowing her habits, he waited outside until shefinished her work.

Now that dawn had arrived and she seemed to be wrapping up, he couldn’t wait any longer andcame in to hold her tightly.
