Chapter 95
Lea had just left the classroom when Chris called “Miss Berry, everything is ready here. The ribbon– cutting will be in forty minutes.”
After a period of preparation, Riverview Hospital’s headquarters was fully renovated and ready. Today was the grand opening and ribbon–cutting ceremony, marking its official start of operations.
Lea replied, “Okay.”
Hanging up the phone, she had a relaxed smile. This was the only thing in recent days worth celebrating.
As Lea left the school gates, she saw Jason’s car parked by the roadside. He had been responsible for driving her to and from school recently.
She walked over and opened the passenger door. Then, her eyes lit up with surprise and joy. “Alfred.”
Alfred, dressed in a custom–made black suit with his hair styled, looked distinguished and regal. He was like a god from mythology. Just seeing him like this made her heart flutter.
Alfred smiled slightly and gestured. “Get in
The car drove forward, and in half an hour, they arrived at the city center, at the headquarters of Riverview SmartMed.
From a distance, she could see the sign on the twenty–eight–story building. Vaporleon City Riverview Hospital”
The bold, powerful letters exuded grandeur. The newly renovated hospital had several neatly arranged buildings, a well–planned park, beautiful. landscaping, and a vibrant atmosphere.
The exterior alone was impressive and modern, leaving a great impression.
The ribbon–cutting ceremony had been specially arranged. A red carpet stretched from the road entrance to the outpatient hall, lined with flowers and banners.
The banners read, “Riverview SmartMed. Focusing on the future of smart healthcare.”
“Serving patients with the most advanced medical technology”
“Patients always come first.”
“Caring for life, pursuing excellence, practicing medicine with virtue.
“Dr. Berry, the miraculous healer, creating life miracles!”
There were many more striking decorations.
The area outside the hospital was packed with people, buzzing with excitement. The car circled the square, heading towards the parking lot.
Peering out the window in surprise, Lea asked. “Why are there so many people?”
She thought it was just a regular hospital opening and didn’t expect such a crowd..
Alfred turned to look at her, pride evident in his eyes. “Dr. Berry gave our hospital a great gili.
Lea paused, then understood. Donna’s live–streamed surgery had taken the medical world by storm.
The hospital’s opening needed promotion, and revealing that “Dr. Berry” was collaborating with the hospital for high–difficulty surgeries garnered massive attention. Medical professionals, patients, and citizens were all focused on the opening
Patients from the former Andrews Hospital had also transferred here. Both patients and their families had a good impression of the hospital and strongly supported it
Alfred said, “All those flowers and banners were sent by people like doctors, patients, even colleagues, And there are many gifts too.
The car stopped opposite the main square, where the ribbon–cutting spot could be seen. Alfred parked so she could get a good view.
Lea was shocked to receive gifts.

With the window down, under the bright sun, the grand scene and waves of cheers reached her. She couldn’t help but smile, 1 involuntarily
Having her own foundation and strength gave her confidence and joy.
She even felt a bit excited about going to Iverton to face those formidable opponents.
Alfred turned to look at Lea in her school uniform, whose confident and elegant demeanor radiated from within like a blooming flower. He couldn’t help but smile too, filled with joy and pride.
He asked. “Do you want to attend the ribbon–cutting? There’s a stylist and a dress ready
Although he knew Lea, as the major shareholder and boss, wouldn’t personally attend the ribbon– cutting, he had still asked Chris to prepare.
“A dress too?” Lea looked surprised.
Alfred nodded. “Yes”
Tll pass.” She felt a bit disappointed inside.
This hospital was not only her career and leverage but also her dream deep down. She wanted to advance the medical field and benefit humanity.
So. Lea was excited and passionate inside. But a week ago, when Chris asked her, she had already declined.
Matilda’s people were watching her closely, so she couldn’t openly step out.
She had to remain hidden to maintain her advantage. She turned to Alfred. The disappointment in her heart dissipated, replaced by satisfaction. “Alfred, having you by my side is enough,” she said, her eyes moist with emotion as she tried to control her feelings.
Alfred had initially wanted to say that she could participate if she wanted and that he could protect her. But now, he responded with a sofi “Okay” His eyes were filled with tenderness.
“This way,” he said, driving the car around before entering the underground parking lot. They got out and took the elevator to the top floor of the outpatient building, where they could overlook the entire ribbon–cutting ceremony.
The hospital had invited important figures from medical institutions, as well as the mayor-
Such a large hospital arriving in this city was a significant boost to healthcare, public welfare, and the city’s economic development. The authorities were very supportive and helped with the promotion.
The guest of honor for the ribbon–cutting was Julius Decker, an esteemed biomedical professor who was eighty years old and still leading a team in medical research. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
He had come to Vaporleon City to learn about the surgical techniques Dr. Berry” used on Donna.
The hospital invited him to cut the ribbon, and he gladly accepted. His presence greatly boosted the hospital’s reputation and public trust.

Soon, the ribbon was c
cut.
Then, the confetti cannon boomed, showering the crowd in golden confetti. The crowd cheered and applauded thunderously.
Watching this grand scene, Lea’s smile grew brighter, and she felt even more confident. She vowed to become stronger than those who had trampled her in her previous life
Alfred looked at her with a gentle gaze.
“This is just the beginning. One day, your Riverview Hospital will spread across the country and the world,” he said with a gentle and certain tone. “Lea, you will make this hospital the best in the world”
Lea suddenly turned to meet his gaze. In the sunlight, the light in his eyes illuminated her entire being, and her eyes gradually brightened
The dream buried deep within her heart awoke fully, spreading through her body, and making her blood boil uncontrollably.
In her previous life, she had worked hard in medical research, enduring suppression and adversity. She strived to establish herself in Iverton’s high society and wanted to be a goad Mrs. Andrews. All she hoped for was to freely pursue medicine, combat disease, and save millions of lives.
Her eyes stung with unshed tears, and her vision soon blurred with a mis
Alfred stepped forward and gently hugged her, holding her tenderly and protectively. “Lea, I will be with you, watching the hospital grow into the largest and best, walking with you every step of the way”
Lea’s voice choked with emotion as she managed to say, “Okay”
After calming down in Alfred’s embrace for a moment, her phone buzzed with a new message.
