Chapter 330

“Alright. I’ll talk to them personally.” Jonah pondered for a moment and asked, “How’s Yannis’s condition? Will he make a complete recovery?”

Lea replied, “He will.”

Jonah took a deep breath, and then the corners of his mouth curled up into a dashing smile. He looked at Lea with a look of admiration.

The Riverview Hospital’s staff’s medical skills were impressive.

They parted ways after that. Lea looked at the time. It was almost noon. She prepared to return to her dormitory.

When she arrived at the elevator, she waited for a while. When the elevator door opened, she saw Steve pushing James’s wheelchair with a nurse accompanying them. Shannon was also with them.

After the commotion at Conrad Hospital, Steve transferred James here for treatment.

The medicine that James used was originally from here. It was easier for him to be treated here. Steve was now working part–time in the hospital and was an intern in the legal department. This made it convenient for him to take care of James.

Shannon knew about his situation and would come to help whenever she had the time.

They exited the elevator.

“Lea!” Shannon saw that Lea had completely recovered, and had even gained some weight.

After the incident, Lea looked different. She was calmer and more imposing than before.

“Miss Berry.” Steve greeted her humbly and respectfully, his eyes full of admiration.

He knew that she was “Dr. Berry“. She had saved James’s life. In Steve’s eyes, Lea was no longer just his genius classmate, but a figure who deserved his respect.

Steve said, “Dad, this is Lea. She’s-”

“Miss Berry!” James, who was in the wheelchair, interrupted Steve and greeted Lea loudly. He looked at Lea with bright eyes filled with admiration and

respect.

He had been recuperating recently. Although he could not move most of his body yet, his brain was active and he had not been idle. He understood the current situation.

Lea and Riverview Hospital had always been in the headlines. He knew much about her.

Chapter 330

As an experienced and outstanding lawyer, James could tell Lea’s influence based on the information revealed to the public.

James said, “Your reputation… precedes you. Now that I have formally met you, you… do not disappoint.”

James’s throat and mouth were injured. His speech wasn’t clear enough, and he stumbled with his words. However, his verbal ability and temperamental charm that had been honed by years of defense in court were still present.

Steve was speechless.

James had misunderstood what he meant to say. He wanted to say that Lea was James’s savior.

Lea’s–identity as “Dr. Berry” was still a secret, so Steve could not reveal it.

If Steve did not mention it outright, James wouldn’t even consider the possibility at all.

“Mr. Watkins,” Lea greeted James with a smile.

Chris had told Lea that she wanted to nurture Steve in service of the hospital. Lea had the same idea.

James’s injuries would take more than half a year to fully recover. His medical fees would cost at least 200,000 dollars, and it was charged at their hospital according to the lowest rates.

It would cost Steve a lot of money to treat James’s illness.

of that, James’s firm had some disputes and debts.

James and Steve were in dire need of help.

Lea had also heard that Steve was helping Shannon in matters in school.

Steve could be considered one of Lea’s own people now. She had always respected and valued her ‘own people.

She hoped that James and Steve would be of great help to the hospital in the future.

James was stunned. He turned to look at Steve. He figured Lea had addressed him affectionately because she was friends with Steve.

James nodded in acknowledgement, feeling a little proud and warm. He knew that a friend like Lea would be very useful to them.

Lea said to James, “You can recuperate in the hospital. If you need anything, feel free to tell Mr. Phoenix. If you’re bored, you can help out in our legal department. Our hospital has a lot of legal matters to attend to. We’re short of manpower now.”

James’s eyes widened. He was both stunned and flattered.

There was no way James would just recuperate in peace. He had to handle the law firm because he couldn’t let Steve take responsibility over matters there. He also had to earn money to pay for his medical expenses: Steve was only a freshman, and James wanted him to focus on his studies.

Steve was still young and should be focusing on learning. Only by laying a good foundation could he reach for greater heights in the future.

James replied, “It’s a deal. I’m a man who can’t stay idle. Adequate work and rest is better for the body, right?”

Lea smiled and nodded.

Steve looked at James and then at Lea. He pursed his lips and did not say anything.

Lea said to Shannon, “Lend me your lesson notes later.”

Today was Friday, and Lea would return to school the following Monday. She was planning to catch up on the classes she missed.

Although Lea and Shannon were not in the same major, they took some classes together.

Shannon said, “Okay. I’ll pass them to you later.”

Steve helped James back to the ward, and Shannon and the nurse followed them.

Lea watched them enter the elevator but did not follow them in. The door closed, and the elevator descended.

She waited for a while, and sure enough, Steve came back to look for her.

Steve asked, “Lea, why are you helping us to such an extent?”

Lea looked at him. Her heart and soul were much bigger than his. Like an elder, she said, “I do have ‘a motive for helping you.”

Steve jerked and looked at her in shock. He quickly lowered his head slightly and avoided her gaze. Lea was too beautiful. Her eyes were bright and mesmerizing. When she said such words, Steve’s heart inexplicably began to palpitate, and his face turned red.

Lea explained, “Chris told me that you’re very talented in legal matters. James is also an excellent and upright lawyer. We really need talents like you. If the opportunity arises, I hope we can work together in the future.”

Saving James was Lea’s duty as a doctor. After looking at James’s resume, she indeed had ulterior motives.

She wanted James to work for her.

“Is that all?” Steve was flattered.

Lea said, “Steve, our hospital is developing very quickly. Our research will mature, and our scientific results will also increase. Lawyers will be very important to us.”

Steve insisted, “There’s definitely more to it than this.”

Steve stared at Lea intensely. After pondering for a moment, Lea nodded and said, “We don’t hire people from outside. We need to cultivate our own people. We think very highly of you. And your father. Do you want to join us and achieve greatness?”

Lea was sincerely inviting this future big shot lawyer to join her team. She did not have the bearings of a boss. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“I… Of course I’m willing to join your team. I’m just afraid… I’m afraid that my ability is lacking and I’ll disappoint you…” Steve scratched the back of his head guiltily. He was not confident at all.

Lea assured him, saying, “We will cross that bridge when we get there.” She looked at him gently, her expression full of encouragement and confidence in him.

“Okay!” Steve’s tone was excited, and his heart was racing.

Ever since Steve was a child, he had wanted to be a lawyer like James. Under James’s guidance and tutelage, Steve had learned more and more about the profession. He liked it very much. It was his dream.

He would not miss such an opportunity.

He and James also needed this badly now.

Lea gave him a smile and nodded.

Coincidentally, the elevator arrived and opened with a ding. She entered the elevator.

Lea returned to the dormitory. It was almost one o’clock. As soon as she entered, the fragrance of food entered her nose. She looked up and saw a figure in the kitchen.

Alfred was wearing a white shirt, black pants, and a gray apron. He was cooking, and the hot steam surrounded him. He was handsome and had a warm, welcoming aura.

When he heard Lea return, Alfred turned around and smiled at her before turning around to continue cooking.

Lea felt that her heart was instantly filled, and the corners of her mouth curled into a sweet smile.
