Chapter 242
Chris had the capability to handle the current issues at the hospital.
This was why Alfred had entrusted Lea to her. Chris could not let him down.
Lea nodded, getting into the car with Jason and Luke as it drove toward Conrad Hospital.
Chris and the others also got into their car and headed back to the hospital.
While on the road, Lea sent the lawyer’s information to Shannon, asking her to investigate him.
Simultaneously, she asked Marshall for more detailed injury reports to study potential surgical plans.
Halfway there, Shannon’s message arrived
The lawyer was named James Watkins, aged forty–seven, and the owner of Fairness & Justice Law Offices. He had been practicing for nearly thirty years and was renowned for his fairness and kindness, especially in Iverton.
However, his clients were mostly the poor, elderly, sick, or disabled. Because of this, he and his firm were also not wealthy.
A year ago, he established Fairness & Justice Law Offices independently,
Further down in the information were his personal details. He was divorced and had a nineteen– year–old son named Steve Warkins, who was a freshman at Comad University’s law school,
Lea’s e
eyes widened
Steve was her lawyer in her previous life.
As a researcher with numerous innovations and patents, she needed a dedicated attorney.
She had met Steve when she was twenty–four, which was four years later. He had just graduated and was taking on a case against the Andrews Group for monopoly practices.
At that time, the Andrews Group was at its peak, and anyone who dared oppose them usually couldn’t survive or was ready to fight them to the bitter end.
Steve had taken on the giant, aiming to secure a fairer and more beneficial market for other businesses and the public.
Lea had initially thought he was just a hot–headed idealist.
Now, it seemed Steve’s principles were inherited from his father.
When the car reached the entrance of Conrad Hospital, she got out. Marshall, who had been waiting at the door, came forward immediately. looking past her to see if anyone else was getting out of the car. When he realized Dr. Berry wasn’t there, he couldn’t hide his disappointment.
“Let’s s to the operating room, Lea said decisively
“Okay” Marshall responded.
He had brought her here, and now all he could do was rely on her and trust her,
Marshall led the way, but as soon as they entered the main entrance, they were blocked
“Lea!” Leona exclaimed, looking at her in surprise.
It had only been two days since Leona last saw her during the short holiday, but the Lea standing before her seemed like a completely different
person
Gone was the low–profile, demure schoolgirl with a bare face. In her place was a professionally dressed woman with elegant, yet simple makeup, exuding a captivating confidence and charm while retaining a touch of innocent allure.
This new version of Lea was radiant and dazzling, a stark contrast to Leona who lacked such brilliance.
A wave of jealous anger surged within Leona, making her want to extinguish Lea’s glow.
“The Riverview Hospital is under investigation for various violations, endangering lives for profit. Shouldn’t you be detained by the police for “questioning? What are you doing here?” Leona’s voice was loud enough to draw the attention of everyone around.
The outpatient hall was filled with patients and their accompanying family members.
The scandal involving Riverview Hospital was widely known, and these patients had all been paying close attention. Upon hearing that the owner had arrived, they quickly gathered around, their anger palpable.
Lea gave Leona a sharp look and continued walking inside.
“Leal” Leona blocked her path again. “You have your ambitions and dreams of wealth, aiming to be worthy of the Andrews family, willing to do anything for success. But 1 beg you. Leave Shannon out of it…”
Her voice broke, and her eyes reddened with emotion. “Shannon grew up with her adoptive mother, hasn’t seen much of the world, and is very naive. She just started her freshman year, and now she’s working tirelessly at your hospital. She’s too young to bear such a burden.”
“Because of this, she hasn’t even come home,” Leona continued, clutching Quintin and Jessic. “Our family is still waiting for Shannon to come back and reunite with us.”
“Lea, 1 beg you, let Shannon come home,” she pleaded desperately, her voice breaking the hearts of those listening.
The crowd began to murmur in understanding
“So, Riverview Hospital forces people to work for them. They exploit naive young people and do such heinous things behind the scenes.
“They separate families, preventing them from being together.
“Unforgivable!”
“Such a person should be reported to the police immediately and arrested.”
Someone pointed at Lea, constantly accusing her.
“She’s got a nice appearance, but her ambitions and methods are too terrifying”
“If she wanted money, with her looks, she could become a top star in the entertainment industry and wouldn’t lack money. Why is she still trying to make money through unethical means?”
Leona felt bitter when she heard these people accusing her of being good–looking.
Ever since Leona found out that she was Donna’s biological daughter and looked like her, her distorted view of appearance had intensified, and she wished to eliminate Lea immediately.
The people around were still criticizing and discussing.
“Didn’t you just hear! It’s to be worthy of the Andrews family”
“Oh. I remember now. It’s the woman that the eldest grandson of the Andrews family, Milton, confessed to on TV!
“I see!”
With such a lowly background, she could never be worthy of the Andrews family no matter how much money she makes.
“She must be joking.”
The people’s eyes toward Lea became very distorted,
“Get out of the way!”
Lea paid no attention to these strange voices. She was rushing to save James. Every second delayed, his life was in greater danger.
Her momentum was so strong that she was scared and took two steps back, unconsciously making way.
Jessie stepped forward, planning to take the opportunity to take Shannon back to the Moore family. Shannon’s bone marrow would be useful
sooner or later.
Quintin saw the situation and acquiesced.
Originally, they did not want to be involved with Shannon at this time, but taking her home at this moment was beneficial, so he also stood by.
“You are mistaken, Marshall quickly stepped forward to explain. “Miss Berry knows Dr. Berry. She came here to have Dr. Berry operate on a dying patient for us. It’s Dr. Berry who performed surgery live in May in Vaporleon Riverview Hospital. Dr. Berry can reverse the life and death of a parient through surgery!”
9:40 AM c
Most of the people around had not paid attention to that surgery, and some had not heard of Dr. Berry
But Marshall was a top–ranking doctor in Ivenon, the dean of the medical school at Conrad University, and everyone trusted his words. Hearing that the doctor can reverse life and death, they also believed in
Quintin and Jessie were also shocked.
They didn’t expect that Lea knew such a miracle doctor.
After Dr. Berry became famous due to that surgery, the Moore family tried to contact him but failed to reach him.
“Impossible!” Leona angrily denied it. “It’s fake. Lea was using Dr. Berry’s reputation to deceive people. Someone like her could never know such a
miracle doctor.
“Mr. Wiley,” she said to Marshall. “Don’t be deceived by her and delay the patient’s treatment,”
Marshall’s expression was stern. “Miss Moore, the patient’s skull is cracked, and his internal organs are shattered. He is now lying on the operating table, waiting for Dr. Berry to save his life. I don’t care about any grudges you have with Ms. Berry, but please don’t provoke trouble at this time and jeopardize the patient’s life.”
The people around immediately cast strange glances at her.
Is this young girl such a person” they wondered.
Leona’s expression was horrified, and seeing the people looking at her, her face turned pale again.
“Luke, clear the way Lea directly ordered
Luke stepped forward, stretched out his arm, and directly pushed Quintin, Jessie, and the people in front of him aside.
With their status and position, they have never been treated like this before. They were about to get angry, but their bodies floated and stood far away.
The crowd looked at the young bodyguard in black with surprise. In his twenties, with a small head, a relatively short stature, and a good head–body ratio, he exuded a young man’s tenacity and sharpness, making people involuntarily avoid him. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Lea, you say you know Dr. Berry, How can you prove
it? Leona blocked again
In that case, she couldn’t let them go save people so quickly.
As long as that patient dies, I can prove that she is using Dr. Berry’s reputation to deceive people. She thought
BANGI
As soon as she finished speaking, she was kicked and flew out.
With another bang, she hit the table, and the work tools and documents fell over.
She fell to the ground, too painful to even shout.
