Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1258

Daniel was secretly thrilled, labeling Andrew a total idiot in his mind.

He had been lenient, and yet the guy refused to back down!

Then he had ticked off Norman, known for his fiery temper. This dude was in for a ride!

"Mr. Ellington, you've seen it with your own eyes, how this guy just loves to cause trouble and pick fights, right?"

Egging on the situation, Daniel was quick to fan the flames.

Norman was seething with rage and said icily, "You don't want to apologize? Fine, we'll settle this through legal channels! Also, Dr. Charlton is one of our own. It's not your place to boss him around!"

As the director of the hospital, handling Andrew would be a piece of cake. His actions earlier were no doubt just asking for trouble.

If Norman couldn't manage this small fry, how was he supposed to command respect after a promotion?

As for the Keller family, Norman was not scared at all.

He was not out to make enemies with the Kellers!

He just needed to put Andrew in his place, and if the Kellers got involved, they would have to know their limits!

Logan might get away with hitting Daniel, but Norman, the director? He wasn't someone to be messed with…

"Man, Mr. Lloyd meant well, trying to be our voice, for all of us struggling to get medical care!"

"However, who knew it would blow up like this. I think making Dr. Charlton say sorry should cut it. Getting him fired? That's just not happening."

"Right? A doctor from a big hospital has a huge network. Us regular folks, we get the short end of the stick, what can we do?"

"We just suck it up and look the other way, right? Mr. Lloyd's got guts, he's got heart. However, sometimes, it's like he's trying to stop a train with his bare hands…"

Andrew cracked a smile. "Since I've been in Blumedale, Logan, you're the first blue blood I've actually respected!"

Logan's stance really got to Andrew.

The Kellers, it turns out, were definitely worth befriending!

"Mr. Ellington, Daniel has got to go. And that's final, no matter what you do!" Andrew glared at Norman, his stance unyielding.

Norman chuckled in irritation and said, "Really? Well, Mr. Lloyd, I'm dying to hear your plan."

Andrew's face was stone-cold. "I don't have a plan. I just know what's been going on behind the scenes. Like how Daniel's been hogging all the appointments with the dean and the other big shots."

"He's been slamming the door on regular folks, acting like their lives don't matter one bit! Meanwhile, he's been auctioning off those precious slots to the highest bidder, lining his own pockets, am I right?

"And the hospital bigwigs? They're clueless! They think everyone's getting a fair shake at an appointment!"
