Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1270

Logan left with the Keller family's people, having perfectly played the role of Andrew's enforcer. However, Chantelle remained standing in place with no intention of leaving.

Andrew raised an eyebrow. "Ms. Garcia, are you waiting for someone?"

Chantelle's face remained expressionless. "Andrew, I want to ask you a personal question."

He replied, "Go ahead."

"Francesca is your romantic interest, but what about Aspen? They're both wonderful women—how will you choose?" she asked pointedly.

Andrew thought for a moment and smiled. "Good question. I must admit, you've stumped me."

Chantelle smirked coldly as she watched Andrew, eager to see how this dog of a man would answer.

She knew that whatever his response, it would be wrong and would inevitably hurt either Francesca or Aspen.

Seeing Andrew make a mistake would bring her satisfaction. But the next moment, she heard Andrew calmly say, "Fortunately, I know the perfect answer."

He continued smoothly, "Only a fool would make a choice. As for me, I'll take both and make everyone happy. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Chantelle stared in disbelief as Andrew walked away. She called after him incredulously, "Both of them? Have you no shame? You jerk! Aren't you afraid your health will give out?"

Not choosing one or the other, but claiming both was ridiculous. Honestly, Andrew's answer completely exceeded her expectations.

…

Inside Blumedale Hospital, Norman returned to his office. Daniel had been waiting there, grinding his teeth in anger. "Is that bastard Andrew gone? Damn him for picking on me—I'll skin him alive!"

Norman had barely sat down before immediately standing up again, delivering two quick slaps across Daniel's face.

"I think you should realize what a tremendous honor that is, and don't blame anyone but yourself. What you did, just as Andrew pointed out, violated medical ethics! If someone else had exposed you, I might have been able to cover for you and protect you.

"However, Andrew isn't an ordinary person. If I indulge you and show favoritism, then I'd likely be kicked out of my position as department head too!"

Daniel's face turned ashen, his mind buzzing when he heard Andrew representing Blumedale Hospital at the Grand Medical Summit.

This was something he could not even dare to imagine. After all, such an honor was reserved only for those few doctors selected from among the thousands at Blumedale Hospital—the absolute best of the best.

He had originally thought he would escape trouble and was just waiting until he secured a minor leadership position before dealing with Andrew.

But now, all his plans had collapsed like a house of cards, and even his own uncle, the department head, was terrified.

As a mere doctor, he stood no chance.
