Her Revenge Returns (Lea and Alfred)

Chapter 282

Chapter 282

Christian leaned down, squinting his eyes at her.

A 6.50–foot–wide custom mattress lay on the floor, along with a warm pink blanket, pillow, and matching eye mask. Lea looked sleepy.

It was as if she was on vacation rather than being detained, No, she was here to sleep, and she had a good sleep

Leaning closer, he asked softly, “Did you create gene drugs?”

Lowering her voice, she replied, “Maybe I work on it in the future.”

“Hmph, I thought you really had that kind of ability. I was hoping you’d make something for me to extend my life a bit With age, many would want some miraculous drug to live a few more years.

Despite his words, Christian let out a sigh of relief and sat cross–İ

s–legged in front of her.

Lea wasn’t raised under his watchful eye, and the things she developed were beyond his imagination. He didn’t understand her or her research. Until a moment ago, he had lingering doubts about this incident.

Those around Yannis, including the hospital security, were not ordinary people.

Christian leaned in closer, speaking quietly. “I know someone from the Patton family.

“What?” She also leaned in, asking softly.

This was a detention room, supposedly secure. However, she trusted nothing in such a place, nor did Christian.

After being blindfolded and taken here last night, she used her strong sensory and calculation abilities to deduce that they were north of Iverton’s countryside, about a two–hour drive from the city. It was a remote, secret detention facility belonging to an internal agency

from the Patton family,” he said.

Her eyes widened.

“Alex Patton The top figure in Iverton’s military world.

Lea nodded, indicating she had heard of him.

While investigating Joey’s case, she had come across Alex’s name while looking into Lorenzo.

He was Lorenzo’s grandfather, seventy–five years old, five years younger than Blake, and a figure of the same rank.

Lea asked, “Are you close with him?”

Christian pursed his lips. “He was my superior for a month. We didn’t have direct contact, but if I tell him, he will remember me. After all, only two or three people from back then are still alive.”

Lea went speechless.

Lea turned to look at the door behind her. The detention room was about 215 square feet and made of the sturdiest steel materials. The walls were dark gray, with only one exit. The room was square and enclosed, creating a stilling atmosphere.

Christian, a battle–hardened man, wasn’t affected by such a place. However, his young granddaughter…

Christian looked at her resolutely. “I’ll go find him.”

He wouldn’t let her stay in this place, where the weak–minded could quickly become ill.

Lea shook her head. “This place is quiet and perfect for sleeping Compared to the asylum in her previous life, this was paradise. She endured a year in that asylum. In comparison, this was truly a good place to sleep.

She added, “I haven’t had a good sleep in days. I plan to sleep for three to live more days. The lab has a lot of work that needs to be done

She didn’t

want to get involved with someone like Alex just yet. She needed to build her own power, starting with Lorenza

Plus, approaching someone like Alex through her g

grandfather would be passive and reliant on favors. It wouldn’t help her leverage those connection effectively.

Christian stared at her in disbelief. “You don’t trust your grandfather?” He was confident he could get her our

“I have my plans,” she said, changing the subject. “Did he arrange for you to come in? She meant Alfred.

When she mentioned Alfred, her tone, expression, and gaze were different. They were gentle, slightly sweet, and inadvertently revealed deep affection

Christian nodded. The Herry family’s influence was in Vaporleon City, not Iverton. Without Alfred’s help, he wouldn’t have found this place.

Christian said, “I called him, and he picked me up at the airport and drove me here. He… Alfred was just outside.

Christian swallowed, moistening his throat, and sat closer. “He said he won’t come to see you. You understand, right?”

Lea nodded. They had discussed this.

The fact that they dared to arrest her from Riverview Hospital suggested they must not know about her relationship with Alfred. Otherwise, no one would dare treat Alfred’s woman this way

Moreover, Blake opposed their relationship and would undoubtedly try to harm her whenever he had the chance. He had intervened before. This time, he definitely wouldn’t let this good opportunity pass. Thus, Alfred wouldn’t openly intervene in this matter.

Lea had told him not to interfere and she could handle it. Sull, he sent her grandfather in

Although she was prepared to stay here alone for a while and face these situations, seeing her beloved family member suddenly softened her. She looked up at the iron door

Through this cold, solid prison, Lea could feel that the person she loved the most was somewhere nearby, watching over her, missing her.

Outside, at a weed covered intersection, a black SUV was parked. The special window glass blocked all outside views, making it impossible to see inside. In the driver’s seat sat a driver in a black uniform, wearing a matching black hat, with a straight nose.

He looked up. His eyes were piercing like an eagle’s under the brim of his hat. They were in a pristine forest, a national park people rarely visited, The late autumn forest was vividly colorful

It was two in the afternoon, and beans of sunlight shone through the trees.

His gaze moved to the two–story concrete and steel building. It looked unremarkable outside, but he knew it had several spacious underground levels to detain high–profile individuals. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

The woman he loved most was inside. Thinking of Lea, Alfred’s eyes softened with affection.

Although she had told him not to intervene or visit, he couldn’t leave her alone. Of all the hospital staff arrested, only she had been brought here.

So when Christian mentioned visiting his granddaughter, Alfred arranged everything under Dwayne’s name. He even disguised himself as the driver to be closer to her.

Soon, his eyes turned cold again. Those who dared to make Lea suffer would face his wrath once he found out who was behind it.

Lea withdrew her gaze, her affection fading. “Grandpa, go back to Vaporleon City.”

“No.” Christian turned his head away, angry

“With you working on and off like this, Berry Group will collapse. I won’t be taking over your mess.

Christian was at a loss for words.

Lea added, “If the year–end bonuses are too small, the older employees might only grumble since they can’t easily switch jobs. But the young are different. If they don’t see hope, they’ll lose confidence in the company and look for other opportunities during the holiday break.”

Christian stayed silent.

“I don’t have such worries. A few pharmaceutical sales orders alone brought in more than 200 million dollars. “Mind your own business, old man”

With that, Lea covered her mouth, let out a long yawn, and pulled down her eye mask. She turned to face the wall, waved at Christian, and continued her sleep.

She figured it would be a few days before anyone came to see her.
