Chapter 356

They had an intense night. He knew that Lea was going to perform surgery on Lorenzo. So, he did not want to overexert her and let her sleep after an hour

The sky was already beginning to lighten

Alfred didn’t sleep. Instead, he watched Lea tenderly in the soft light coming through the window, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world

They had been living together for the past half year. Lea had matured quickly. Her features had become more defined. Her eyebrows were darker, her eyelashes long and curled, her nose more prominent, and her lips a luscious red. She was delicate and strikingly beautiful, making it impossible for him to look away.

She was sleeping soundly next to him. Her usual sharpness softened, leaving her looking pure and beautiful.

Alfred retracted his gaze. He got up, carefully tucked the blanket around her, and slipped on the robe. Then, he headed to the study

He didn’t turn on the lights, moving easily in the dark as he opened a drawer. He took out a new phone, powered it on, and dialed a number he hadn’t called in a long time.

“Release the information about Raven in Iverton be ordered.

On the other end of the line, across the ocean, the person answering the phone was nearly hysterical

“Alfred, have you lost your mind? Why would you do that? There’s no reason to The woman’s voice was shocked and anxious

“Cipher, this isn’t a negotiation. It’s an order. Alfred’s tone was calm, leaving no room for debate..

“You.. this is reckless! Raven could die Cipher was adamant in her refusal. If we can’t protect Raven, then what’s the point of our existence

Alfred replied. “We could take things slowly. You’ve only been involved for a few years. There’s plenty of time. The enemy will develop faster. It they infiltrate Iverton and gain power, do you think it will be easier to deal with them thent

Cipher fell silent for a long time.

“Alfred, what’s your reason! Tell me, please” Her some softened like an older sister trying to soothe negotiate. “Are you in lover

Alfred’s gaze turned cold and ruthless, “Cipher, do I need to replace someone else to take over your position?”

Before traveling back in time, he had been burdened by too many attachments and too many concerns. He had missed his chance with Lea, allowing Milson to take her away

It ultimately led to his downfall, where he failed to prisiert her and their child.

This time. Alfred would not allow anyone to interfere in his personal life, to affect his relationship with Lea

Not Blake, not the Andrews family, and certainly no one else.

So this was an order. If Cipher wouldn’t cooperate, she’d be replaced.

On the other end of the line, Cipher held her breath. She knew Alfred was ruthless. But she hadnt expected him to be this heartless

“Fine. I’ll make the arrangements, Cipher said, left with no choice.

But she couldn’t help but ask one last question. “Alfred, is it really necessary to risk your life! Is it worth it?”

Alfred held the phone to his ear, gazing out the window, though the curtains were balf–drawn. Yet all his focus was on Lea behind him.

Her features, her breathing her presence… All of it was imprinted on his mind.

Lea was his greatest love, is girlfriend, his fiancée, the person he would spend his life with Alfred couldn’t bear her being tormented by hatred every day. He couldn’t let her push herself to dangerous extremes for revenge.

He was a man. Her enemies were his enemies. It was his responsibility to avenge their child. So he had to take action.

Alfred didn’t answer Cipher’s question and didn’t need to. His silence war the most definitive response.

“Continue investigating the Rizzo family. I want to know all their movements in Iverton. And keep a close eye on the Alliance as well” With that, he hung up

Alfred was ready to use his life as bait, setting a trap to catch everyone who could threaten Leaand make her suffer.

Chapter 356

Before the surgery, Lea got some much–needed rest. On Saturday morning, Lorenzo’s surgery proceeded as scheduled. A trending topic about “Dr. Berry suddenly set the internet ablaze.

She was performing surgery again, and the entire internet was watching,

As soon as the news broke, someone quickly dug up all the details about the surgery, causing an uproar,

“She’s operating on Lorenzo! The young protector of the people, Lorenzor

“Mr. Patton’s wrist is going to heal. Our nation’s top sniper is coming back!”

“But didn’t top global experts say his hand couldn’t be fully healed?”

“Yeah, they diagnosed it already

“And it’s been so long. The window for treatment is long past. There’s no way to fix it now

“I agree, and it’s happening at Riverview Hospital.”

“It’s not that I don’t trust Riverview Hospital. I think it has great potential, but they haven’t been around long. They lack expertise.”

“But it’s Dr. Berry!

Dr. Berry is amazing, but she’s still human, not a miracle worker”

The internet was rife with debate, and both sides were arguing bercely.

As the surgery time drew near, one voice broke through the noise. “Everyone, stop arguing. Riverview Hospital announced that they would be live- streaming the surgery. Just watch the results.”

They’ve tumed off the comments. We re just waiting

The attention on the live str

stream surged, nearly crashing the servers with the influx of viewers.

Outside the operating room, a crowd had gathered, including doctors, nurses, and other relevant staff from the hospital, as well as a few family members.

Among the family were the three members of the Alvarez family, Alex and his son. Yates was there, representing Lorenzo’s comrades

The doctors and medical staff required for the operation followed Lorrand into the operating room.

An older doctor was still sternly reminding his subordinates to be extra careful. “Focus and give it your all. Don’t make any mistakes. This could affect our hospital’s reputation”

He was deeply anxious. The online skepticism mirrored his doubes, This surgery was, in his mind, impossible

Theoretically, it shouldn’t work. In practice, it seemed even more unlikely. But “Dr. Berry” had said it could be done, had provided the plan, and was now leading the surgery. Lorrand even agreed to it. So now, the surgery was happening

In truth, the older doctor wished that Dr. Berry’s surgery wasn’t being performed or Riverview Hospital, to avoid any potential negative impact.

This hospital had such promising prospects. With all the attention it was receiving, any mistake could hinder its growth. He felt like a worried

parent

“It can’t be that bad, right? I think Dr. Berry will succeed a younger doctor responded. Unlike the older doctor, he had absolute faith in Dr. Berry, He was convinced the surgery would be successful.

He also saw this as a huge opportunity for their hospital to increase its influence.

“You you’re still too young,” the older doctor said, his concern growing even deeper upon hearing the younger one’s optimism.
