Peter's eyes widened in astonishment.

Then, he dropped to his knees in front of Freya. "Lexi, is that really you?"

"it's me."

"Please, save my wife. I'm willing to do anything, even if it means sacrificing my own life to keep her alive."

"Don't worry, I'll do everything in my power."

She wasn't used to taking on patients easily, but Peter and Mina were the first couple she had encountered in her life.

Their love story moved her, showing her that amidst the ugliness of self-interest, true love still existed.

Freya assisted Peter in arranging a transfer to another hospital.

Upon leaving the ward, she found Bradley waiting outside.

Overwhelmed with emotion, she threw herself into his arms.

"What's the matter?"

She rarely acted coquettishly, but he was still a little flattered when she suddenly threw herself into her arms.

"Honey, if there's life, sickness, or death, I must go before you."

Seeing her beloved lying helpless on the hospital bed was truly agonizing.

"Silly girl, what if you go first? What will I do?"

Bradley gently caressed her head, whispering softly, "Be good, don't leave me. We both need to live well."

"Yes, we both need to live." Her voice choked up as she clung tightly to his shirt, gazing deeply into his eyes. "I need to take Mina back to the medical room. I want to save her."

She's a woman with a tragic fate.

She was plagued by illness since childhood and abandoned by her parents.

Freya couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship with her own troubled past.

"Okay, I'll support whatever decision you make."

Although he didn't know the specifics, he didn't pry.

He trusted that she would confide in him when ready.

Peter quickly completed the transfer procedures, and an ambulance was arranged to take Mina to Xavier's medical facility.

Mina's condition was grim. Upon Freya's return, she immediately began treatment.

Xavier found Bradley, and they chatted outside.

"Bradley, who is that woman?"

Lexi retreated years ago.

Back then, Bradley's headaches could not be controlled. They sent people to look for Lexi, but in the end, Lexi refused to treat him.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, Freya would appear in the public eye again as Lexi.

Moreover, it was to heal a dying woman.

Bradley shook his head, clueless.

All it took was him giving her a necklace and it led to a chain of events afterwards.

At that moment, Shadow approached respectfully. "Mr. Bradley, we have some results."

"Go ahead."

"Yes." Shadow briefed him on his investigation. "Peter Little was previously involved in foreign trade, and his wife, Mina Chadwick, has been his childhood sweetheart. However, she has suffered from congenital heart disease since childhood and has been given critical illness notices multiple times..."

"Get to the point."

Bradley was impatient, his tone cold and stern.

Shadow felt he had rambled on too much and went straight to the point. "That necklace was purchased by Peter from the world-renowned designer Julia and given to his wife Mina as a wedding gift. However, shortly after their marriage, Mina fell ill and was hospitalized. Peter sold all his assets to pay for her treatment, including that necklace."

"Do we have a photo of this world-renowned designer Julia?"

Bradley frowned deeply.

"No, Julia did not attend the awards ceremony when she won, and she has rarely been seen in the fashion circle in recent years. However, she has a store on South Street, and it's currently trending."

As Shadow spoke, Xavier, out of curiosity, opened the trending topic to take a look.

He was stunned at the sight.

"Bradley, look at your phone, your wife is trending."

Bradley immediately opened his phone and indeed saw Freya making headlines.

Clicking on it, he watched a video filmed outside Julia's store.

"According to my investigation, the woman causing a scene in the video is called Serena. She and Julia are archrivals, and it seems there was a conflict over plagiarism. Madam and Ms. Fisher timely appeared and successfully defended Julia's store, saving Julia's brand reputation."

Hearing this, Bradley's brows furrowed tightly.

He gazed intently at Freya in the video, exuding confidence and aloofness.

It seemed she was always the center of attention wherever she went.

"Do you know why Madam helped Julia?"

"I asked the staff at Julia's store, and they said Julia and Madam are friends."

A faint smile played on the corners of Bradley's lips.

Friends?

Then his wife sure had a wide circle of acquaintances.

She even knew the world-renowned designer.

"Bradley, take a closer look, your wife even designs wedding dresses!"

Xavier was still watching the video.

In the footage, Freya effortlessly outshone Selena with a simple white wedding dress, winning the confrontation.

The creation, bathed in sunlight, bloomed like a masterpiece.

Bradley was captivated by what he saw.

He had no idea his wife had such talent.

This woman had so many secrets. He had a feeling that every day with her would bring surprises.

"Ella can also design wedding dresses. It's truly eye-opening."

Xavier watched with amusement, completely unaware of the faint smile forming on Bradley's lips.

Julia...

Could she be the one he suspected?

…

Inside the medical room.

After Freya's rescue efforts, Mina finally regained consciousness.

She emerged exhausted, and Peter immediately approached her.

"Miss Lexi, how is my wife?"

"Mr. Little, you should call me Freya from now on. I hope you can keep my identity confidential and not reveal it to others, especially my husband." Freya removed her mask and continued, "Your wife is no longer in critical condition. You can go in and see her now."

"Freya, thank you so much. My wife and I are truly fortunate to have met you." Peter expressed his gratitude profusely.

Freya smiled faintly. "It's the duty of a doctor. It's what I should do."

Ella saw her tired appearance and stepped forward to support her. "Take a break. You look exhausted."

From retirement to the present, she hadn't wielded a scalpel in years.

Today, she had entered the operating room again to save a woman she had never met before, which surprised Ella immensely.

"Okay."

Ella helped her to sit at a room.

After bringing her a cup of warm water, she asked, "Mina's condition is not very optimistic. Are you sure you can cure her?"

Several hospitals had already issued critical illness notices. Even if Freya's medical skills were superb, could she really bring someone on the brink of death back from the edge?

It wasn't that she didn't believe in Freya's medical skills, but Mina's condition was deteriorating day by day.

Moreover, she had heart failure. Unless a suitable heart transplant could be found, otherwise…
