After a while, Lea finally calmed down I need to see Frank before going to my exam
Alfred nodded “Don’t push yourself too hard. You can take the exam next year it needed. If you want to go to Everton, I’ll find a way Wherever you want to be. I’ll be there with you.
Lea pondried silently, not saying another word. She understood then what it meant to truly love someone In her previous life, Milton’s love had come with conditions and expectations, which were constant goals to achieve and values to create. Milion was so adept at nanipulating emotions that it was hard to notice his true intentions. “Tknow” Lea nodded.
“Let’s get you changed, Alfred sail, opening a bag and taking out some clothes. The bag had been packed by Jason when he retrieved Lea’s belongings from the old residence after she was rescued and sent to the hospital. There were the clothes she
needed inside
Lea undid a couple of buttons on her hospital gown but paused, looking up at Alfred, her cheeks flushing
Alfred chuckled and ruttled her hair. Til go get breakfast ready for you” He took a step towards the door, then turned back and whispered in her ear with a magnetic, teasing voice, Im afraid if I watch, I won’t be able to control myself”
Lea held her breath, her face turning red down to her neck. Alfred kisard her neck lightly before leaving the room. She had to take a few deep breaths to steady her heartbeat before changing her clothes.
Twenty minutes later, Alfred returned with breakfast. As he opened the door, his eyes widened in surprise. Lea was wearing a long white dress that reached her ankles, covering the scars on her legs. She wore white shoes, and over the dress, she had on a blue school jacket. The dress’s puffed sleeves peeked out from the jacket, tied with a bow, hiding the scars on her wrists. Her long hair was styled to cover the bruises on her forehead, and she had applied light makeup to conceal the lighter injuries on her face. Even her pale complexion now had a hint of color. No one would believe she had survived a life–and- death ordeal just the night before.
“I put on some makeup, Lea said, feeling uneasy under Alfred’s gaze. She had become adept at these things. In her previous life, she had studied fashion, dressing, and makeup to fit in with high society, to avoid embarrassing Milton, and to
win his favor.
Alfred walked up to Lea, his eyes filled with admiration. “You look cute
They ate breakfast together before Alfred took her to see Frank. As the hospital room door opened, they both paused in
surprise
Standing in the doorway was a figure that was hard to miss, a man towering at 6 feet 4 inches with a strong build. He was around Lea’s age, his eyes red with worry as he looked at her. He was the first man who arrived at the underground storage room last night
“Yannis Sanders, the young man introduced himself, seeing Leas confusion.
A month ago, Yannis got dumped at Lorrand’s clinic and Lea performed heart surgery on him, saving his life. He had been brought to this hospital for the best treatment and had mostly recovered. Last night upon hearing from Lorrand that Lea was missing, Yanmis had started searching for her.
Lea remembered, Yannis was the boxer she had saved at Lorrand’s private clinic a month ago. He had been the first to arrive at the underground storage room last night to rescue her.
“Miss Leal”
“Miss Berry!”
