Her Revenge Returns (Lea and Alfred) novel Chapter 80

COMMENT 

Chapter 80 

Max immediately panicked and bowed his head in apology. If he weren’t driving, he would have looked at Matilda while apologizing. 

“Mr. Berry woke up so suddenly, I was with him the entire time, and when I tried to find a chance to inform you, my phone went missing. Max explained hurriedly. “Those bodyguards didn’t get to come along… I had no opportunity to notify them.” 

The bodyguards followed orders strictly. Since Max was accompanying Christian as part of their plan, they hadn’t contacted her directly or taken any action. 

Matilda was furious. “Max, if you d 

don’t start proving your worth and showing that you can still be useful, you might as well disappear forever!” 

Max replied hurriedly. “I will make amends! I promise!” 

Back at the mansion, the sudden departure of M 

Melissa left many affairs needing attention, so Jeffrey was busy dealing with them. 

Christian instructed Victor on a few matters and let him back to the company to handle business since his current health wouldn’t allow him to manage anything himself for the next few days. 

The hall, now empty except for the grandfather and granddaughter, felt eerily quiet and cold 

Lea grabbed her backpack from the dining room and headed towards the door. She had a displeased expression 

“Stop!” Christian’s voice halted her just as she reached the main entrance. “Where are you going! Your face is still injured!” 

Lea turned to look at him. Her face showed a disdainful smile, and her gaze was indiferent. 

She said, “I can go anywhere, just not stay here with someone who’s always in danger. I value my lifer 

Christian’s blood pressure spiked, his vision went dark, and he almost collapsed. He hadn’t died from the poison, but now his granddaughter was about to kill him with anger 

“Lea” he managed to say, catching his breath and trying to steady his blood pressure. “Don’t talk to me with that attitude. You’re out of line… Lea walked back towards him, her fingers hooked through the straps of her backpack, laughing coldly and arrogantly. “Did I say anything wrong! Do you think Melissa is the real culprit?” 

She added, “You don’t think so either, do you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have just kicked her out without pursuing any further responsibility. Do you know why everyone was shocked to see you when you suddenly returned?” 

She continued, “It’s because the test results showed you had a severe cerebral thrombosis and were not expected to wake up anytime soon. Even if you did, you’d be paralyzed, mute, or blind. The antidote saved your life,” 

Lea’s expression grew serious, her eyes sharp. “Do you know where the antidote came from? I arranged for the hospital to develop that antidote ten days ago.” 

If it weren’t for Alfred’s help, ensuring Christian was not taken away by Fraley Medical and was transferred to Fraley Hospital instead, his fate would have mirrored the previous life. 

Despite Lea’s efforts to save Christian, he ended the matter so lightly by just expelling an innocent servant. It was disappointing and made her fear for her own safety. 

Christian was completely stunned by her words. “What.. what do you mean? You arranged for the hospital to develop the antidore?” 

Lea replied. “Do you remember those cats? The chemical substances were found in their bodies. 

Christian was shocked. Lea had bought the cats on her first trip to the mansion with him. Ever since then, she would take food from her plate to feed the cat, even pouring some of his water into a dish for the cats. 

When the cats eventually fell ill, she took them away, saying she had given them to someone else 

All this time, even though Lea hadn’t lived in the mansion, she had been silently and meticulously watching over him 

Christian looked at her anew, as if seeing lier for the first time. 

“It didn’t matter if you knew about the antidote. Acting rashly would only alert the real culprit, Lea explained, seeing through his thoughts. 

She continued, “In this world, only you care about my life. I still rely on you to survive, so I regard your life as important as mine? 

Chapter 80. 

Christian was overwhelmed with emotions. Lea’s aloof demeanor seemed cold–hearted, yet her words were sincere 

Lea said. “Although the reaction of cats to this chemical is different from humans and not easily noticeable, it still has harmful effects. If Melissa were the one poisoning, she wouldn’t have watched me feed the cats and even helped me. It wasn’t her” 

She added, “The person poisoning you is still in this house. If they fail once, they’ll try a second, a third… A direct attack is easy to avoid, but a hidden one is hard to defend against. Take care.” 

With a cold smile, Lea slung her backpack over her shoulder and turned to leave. 

Christian watched her back. She was rebellious and stubborn, like a defiant child, yet exuded a solitary mistrust that pained him. 

“Leal Lea “he called out, trying to stand and chase after her, but his body wavered. 

Lea ignored his calls and walked out of the large iron gate. Her ride had arrived, Jason was there to pick her up. 

“Mr. Berry…” Hearing his call, Jeffrey rushed over from the back garden. 

Seeing Christian breathing heavily, his chest heaving, and his face flushed, Jeffrey hurried to support him. He shouted, “Someone, come quickly!” 

A servant brought a cup of hot water. Jeffrey took it and offered it to Christian. “Mr. Berry, drink some water first.” 

Christian’s trembling hand reached for the cup but stopped mid–air as Lea’s words echoed in his mind. “The person poisoning you is still in this house 

Jeffrey called out, “Mr. Berry** 

With a steadying effort, Christian took the cup, drank a sip, and gradually calmed his breathing. 

Jeffrey asked, “Are you alright? Should we return to the hospital?” 

Christian replied, “No need.” 

He had already been given the antidote at the hospital, and another dose would soon be administered to clear any residual poison. 

After Christian finished the water, Jeffrey placed the cup on the coffee table and sat beside Christian. “Mr. Berry, did you have a fight with Miss Lear” 

Christian remained silent, his expression composed. 

“Don’t blame her. After everything that happened anyone would be scared, let alone a child. Even an adult would be frightened,” Jeffrey said. Matilda was too bold. She even dared to hit Lea in the mansion. One could imagine what Matilda might do if she took Les back 

Jeffrey added, “She was overly emotional and needed comfort. Once she calms down, she’ll be as caring for you as before” 

Christian’s 

anger 

flared. “You know nothing, you don’t understand her at all!”
