Chapter 438 Her Identity Needs to be Kept Secret

In the afternoon.

Freya went to the medical room to check on Mina, whose condition was improving.

Just yesterday, she had already regained consciousness.

Peter was so moved that he cried on the spot, repeatedly bowing to Freya in gratitude.

When she walked into the ward, she found Peter feeding Mina soup.

As she had just woken up, Mina's body was still extremely weak. Thus, she was only able to consume simple liquid food.

Freya looked at the two of them caring for each other and felt a pang of envy in her heart.

How many people could still have such love at that age?

She had witnessed her parents' unhappy marriage and, at one point, felt fear toward love.

The love story of Mina and Peter truly touched her heart.

After only drinking a quarter of the soup, Peter dared not feed Mina any more. Instead, he brought over a towel to wipe her mouth with.

It was only then that Freya walked in with a smile. "Time for a physical checkup."

"Okay."

Peter stepped aside.

Freya took Mina's pulse, which was significantly stronger than before.

"Although Mina has woken up, her body is still weak from the coma. She cannot speak yet. As her body gradually recovers, she will naturally be able to speak."

"Freya, my wife and I are fortunate to have met you," Peter said.

He had been suffering from an eye illness. While Freya helped treat Mina's condition, she had the other doctors look at his eyes.

These day, his vision was no longer blurry. It was as if light had returned to his world.

"This is my duty. No need to be polite."

Freya gestured for Peter to sit down and checked his eyes.

Previously, Peter's eyes were cloudy and everything seemed blurry. He also cried easily.

Those were typical symptoms of cataracts.

Freya instructed Dr. Baines to treat Peter, and his condition have noticeably improved.

"Although your eyes are recovering, you still need to rest more. Your eye condition is largely due to overwork."

"Now that Mina's condition is improving, you don't have to stay here. There will be a doctor to take care of Mina for you."

"I also want to let go, but when I return home, I can't sleep at all."

Peter sighed. "For so many years, Mina has been my companion. She is not by my side, and I am not used to it."

"Okay, how about this? I'll have Dr. Jackson arrange a room for you to rest in it from now on."

Freya knew the place Peter lived was quite far from the medical hall.

Peter's back and forth trips were indeed not ideal.

After some consideration, since there were extra rooms in the medical hall, she decided to let Peter stay there as it would also be more convenient for him to take care of Mina.

She went to talk to Xavier about this, and he made the arrangements.

"By the way, where's Ella? Why isn't she with you?"

Freya was curious to see Xavier alone in the office.

"She had something to do early this morning and went out."

Xavier looked a bit embarrassed and cleared his throat.

The night before, they had gone to see a romantic movie.

The show depicted the life of a couple from dating to the period before marriage, with many passionate scenes that make him blush and his heart beat uncontrollably.

He ended up doing something a little excessive in a moment of excitement.

When they returned home last night, he could not bear to part with her and stayed until dawn.

Ella was very shy when it comes to relationships.

In the morning, she did not speak to him at all.

Xavier was good at coaxing, but when her temper flared up, she would not even acknowledge him. Thus, she left in a hurry.

He was now very anxious about how to persuade her to come back.

Especially since he forced her to do that last night.

Freya noticed his anxiety and raised an eyebrow. "Are you two fighting?"

"Yes."

Xavier did not deny it, saying, "If you see her, say some good things about me."

"Did you bully her?"

Freya became even more curious.

Ella, who never easily showed her emotions, actually had an argument with Xavier.

It did not make sense.

They were so close and affectionate when they went to watch a movie last night.

How did they get into a fight overnight?

"Due to some things, she can't accept it for a while and needs to calm down."

Xavier's words were vague. After all, how could he bring himself to say it out loud?

Moreover, Ella and Freya's relationship was very good. If she were to know that he bullied Ella, Freya would definitely not let him off the hook.

"Okay, I'll go find her."

Freya didn't say much and turned to leave the medical hall.

She called Ella and asked her whereabouts.

"I'm at the Julia store."

"Alright. I have nothing to do, so I'll go to you."

After hanging up, Freya drove to the Julia store.

From afar, she could see that it was packed inside.

Since Selena lost the competition, customers had been boycotting Selena's brand.

In addition to Selena's high-end positioning, the prices were expensive. Thus, the threshold was also very high.

With Amy, Selena's assistant, fired during the plagiarizing incident, customers had been returning their purchases, accusing Selena of selling inferior goods and using fake materials.

The quality department had been investigated, and it was found that all of Selena's products are made using inferior materials to save costs.

Despite the production cost of certain key items being only a few hundred, they were being sold for tens of thousands.

That led to customer complaints and demands for compensation.

Selena was now embroiled in a lawsuit, and the recent closure of her store had forced her to clean up the mess.

On the other hand, Julia's store offered products at affordable prices while ensuring high quality by using premium materials.

This approach of making jewelry and clothing accessible to all consumers was gaining popularity.

Freya got out of the car and walked toward the store.

Due to the large number of customers, Ella had to help out.

Freya watched her frantically serving customers and, with a smile, also joined in to help introduce the clothes.

"Boss, why did you come here?"

Ava was startled to see her.

"Shh!" Freya made a gesture for silence. "Here, I am just an ordinary employee, not your boss."

"Yes, yes, we will keep it a secret."

Ava quickly closed her mouth. She had a strong liking for this boss.

Not only was she beautiful, but she was also very easy to get along with.

After serving the guests, everyone sat exhausted on the sofa.

Freya said to Ella, "It's not sustainable to be so busy every day. Please transfer some people from other stores to help with the work."

"Don't worry, I have informed the other stores. People will start coming over in the next few days."

"Great, everyone worked hard today. Let's have dinner together tonight."

Upon hearing this, all the employees cheered.

"Ms. Fisher, are we preparing a celebration banquet?"

Ella smiled. "Our boss heard that the recent performance has been good, so we have been instructed to treat everyone to a meal and reward them."
