Eddie came to the door and said to Lea, “Miss Berry, go and rest. I’ll keep watch over Mr. Andrews.”

Lea had an interview at Conrad University tomorrow, which was no different from the SAT exam.

This incident had already affected her too much.

Alfred was hoping that she would be able to attend university in Iverton, so Lea could not let anything get in their way.

“It’s fine. I’m prepared for the interview tomorrow. I’m a doctor. It’s more useful for me to stay here.” At this time, Lea did not want to leave Alfred.

“All of you, go and rest.” She was gentle and her tone was peaceful, but she would not take no for an

answer.

Eddie had no choice but to leave. Craig also left with his bodyguards.

The hotel was using high–end IT technology and equipment as part of its security. There was not need for them to stay on guard for 24 hours.

After everyone left, only Lea and Alfred were left in the room.

Alfred was lying on the bed, still unconscious.

Lea sat on the edge of the bed and watched him in silence.

The lights in the distance shone over. It was dim and blurry, and his facial features seemed a little blurred to her.

The image of Alfred seeing her covered in blood and rushing up to her without hesitation, as well as the way he kissed her, surfaced in her mind again.

In a daze, she felt as if her past and present lives were intertwining with each other.

The Alfred on the bed seemed to be the man from her previous life who had sacrificed everything for her, including his life.

Lea couldn’t help but reach out and touch his face.

His skin was cool and soft, but there seemed to be an electric current seeping into her fingertips. Her heart began to race.

Her fingertips slowly caressed the bridge of his nose

‘It’s different. Lea thought.

From what she remembered, the Alfred from her previous life was more calm and steady.

However, looking at him now, he was so young. His facial features, which were still youthful, seemed even more three–dimensional and deep. Iis aura was also relatively sharp.

Her fingertips reached his lips and pressed gently against them. The feeling of him kissing her surfaced again, and she couldn’t help but bite her lower lip.

Lea leaned forward and gently pressed her lips against his.

After a light kiss, she got up, picked up her notebook, and went to the table. She opened it and started an online search.

Originally, Lea would not have needed to rush to deal with these things, but these people had hurt her Alfred.

Four hours later, at seven o’clock, the sun had already risen and the sky was completely bright. After all, it was summer in Iverton.

Craig knocked lightly on the door, entered, and handed a sheet of printed information to Lea.

“The assassins who tried to kill you have been found. If we continue to investigate, we can replace out who paid them.”

Last night, they had arrived just as the assassins had.

downstairs

Yannis had stopped the assassin and given Shannon and Lea time to get Craig and his men had followed.

They’d killed one and captured another.

Craig had spent the entire night interrogating the assassin they had caught, and this is what he had found.

I’ll keep digging. When the time comes, we’ll get them all.” Craig assured her.

Anyone who dared to hurt Alfred would be killed.

“No need, I’ve already taken care of it,” said Lea. She turned the laptop around so that the screen was now facing Craig.

Craig leaned closer to take a look.

There were three open windows on the computer.

The first window was the list of popular search rankings on the Internet.

The second window was an email inbox. The email had already been sent, and the recipient of the

When Alfred opened his eyes and saw her like this, he was once again stunned.

“Alfred, you… you’re awake!” Lea knew that he would be fine but she was really happy to see him

awake now.

Alfred did not answer. He just stared at her and smiled, his eyes bright and shining.

“What… are you looking at?” Lea asked.

“Your lips… Alfred muttered.

Lea raised her hand to touch her lips and hissed.

Her lips had been bitten by him, and now there was a scar. It wasn’t too obvious, but if one looked closely, they would be able to tell.

Moreover, Alfred was the one who bit her, so of course he knew about it.

Her cheeks were already flushed. “I should get ready for my exam.”

As soon as she turned around, Alfred grabbed Lea and pulled her back. Lea fell onto the bed.

The two of them were so close that they could hear each other’s breaths.

“Lea, let’s get married soon.”

Lea’s pupils contracted as she stared at him in a daze.

Seeing his sincere desire, she agreed. “After I settle these trivial matters, we’ll do it once the time is right.”

After all, in her previous life, Lea would do anything Alfred asked.

Alfred smiled happily, revealing his white teeth. It was very dazzling.

“I’ve destroyed that assassin organization and taken revenge for you,” Lea said. Alfred was sitting up on the bed, leaning back, while she sat on the edge of the bed. She leaned forward slightly, looking domineering yet loving at the same time.

Alfred was stunned for a moment before he smiled. “Lea, I like it when you do these things for me.”

She paused to look at him.

“It’s a sign that you love me.” Alfred continued.

Lea blushed, but she looked at him firmly, like an affirmation.

He sat up

and held her small face in his hands. He looked at her carefully. “You didn’t sleep all

night?”

“It’s fine

Lea said nonchalantly. “I’m prepared for the interview. I’ll catch up on my sleep later.”

“My heart aches.” His long fingers caressed the bags under her eyes.

“It’s all right. I’ll be fine.” She held his hand, her fingertips stroking his palm soothingly.

Π

Her other hand gently touched the back of his head. There was a medium–sized bump. “Does it still hurt?”

Her tone was filled with heartache.

“It did, but now it doesn’t anymore.” Alfred smiled.

Lea stared at him for a moment before asking. “Your blood phobia…

As soon as she asked, the smile on Alfred’s face faded.

Lea held his hand tightly. “I’m not trying to pry into your secrets and privacy.”

As long as he was Alfred, it was enough for Lea.

“I just don’t want you eyes carefully. Her expression was

to have a weakness. She looked into his gentle and calm, with a maturity that surpassed her current age. “You’re from the Andrews family. With such an identity, you’re bound to be in a dangerous situation.”

Thinking of how Alfred had died in his past life, her heart clenched.

“I don’t want you to get hurt, and I don’t want to lose you. Even if such a condition cannot be completely cured, it can be managed medically. It will be helpful to you.”

Lea felt that if Alfred didn’t manage his condition, it would be easy for him to be in danger, like what had happened last night.

Alfred was silent. His hand gradually trembled as he withdrew his hand.

Lea’s heart sank. She felt extremely upset, controlling her grip and letting him go gently.

Then, she said calmly, “I’ll call Eddie to come and take care of you. I have to get ready to go to the

school.”

She stood up and just as she turned around to take a step, Alfred hugged her waist from behind.

Alfred knelt on the bed and pressed his face against her soft lower back. “If you want to know, I’ll tell you.”
