Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2136

When Andrew arrived at the Moonlit Apothecary, the sight before him left him stunned. The courtyard was packed with patients, shoulder to shoulder, and the line stretched all the way out to the street.

Aspen gave a wry smile. "Dr. Aicker is going to work himself into a stroke at this rate!"

Andrew agreed, since too much business was not always a good thing. After all, Cedric was getting old and could not endure such strain.

Pushing through the crowd, Andrew entered the apothecary and saw several unfamiliar faces treating patients.

"Excuse me, is Dr. Aicker here?" he asked the young woman at the front.

The woman in a white coat, Sonia Adams, did not even look up as she replied, "Dr. Aicker is upstairs! Sorry, but he's resting and won't see anyone!"

Andrew smiled, "That's fine. I can wait until he's finished resting before going up to see him."

Just then, a surprised voice rang out. "Mr. Lloyd, is that you? You've come back?"

Andrew turned to see a security guard with one eye covered by a black patch. His appearance was fierce, almost intimidating.

"And you are?" he asked uncertainly.

The guard looked hurt. "Mr. Lloyd, it's me, Phantom Eye! Don't you remember? I came to Jayrodale, you took me in, and afterward I worked as your guard!"

Only then did Andrew realize and laugh, "Of course I haven't forgotten you, Phantom Eye! But wearing that security uniform makes you blend in with everyone else!"

Phantom Eye looked even more wounded, while Aspen beside him burst into laughter.

"You know them, Phantom Eye?" Sonia asked curiously.
