Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239 The men who had previously doubted Andrew and feared he would not be able to handle Griffin now looked at him with admiration .

One of them said , As expected of Mr.

Lloyd hes truly incredible .

Dylan , feeling energized , gave orders , Our chance has come .

Mr.

Lloyd has removed Griffin , the thorn in our side .

Pass the word : while East City is in chaos , have all our men move out immediately .

Well take over the East City turf and not give Northern District any chance ! Yes , Mr.

Garner ! A chorus of approval rang out , their spirits soaring .

That night , the underground forces of North and South City clashed in fierce combat .

South City launched a major counterattack , and the Northern District was caught off guard , suffering a terrible defeat .

Many people were losing sleep , and the night was full of unrest .

Among those unable to sleep was Kane , the head of the Weller family .

Dr.

Aicker , how is my condition ? Kane asked carefully in his private study .

Kane had urgently summoned Cedric , who was checking his pulse .

Earlier that day , Andrew had told Kane that he only had three days left to live .

At first , Kane had dismissed it , but something in his chest had been pounding relentlessly , making him uneasy .

Recently , his health had been deteriorating quickly , and he could not longer ignore the signs .

Cedric paused and stated slowly , Mr.

Weller Senior , your condition is severe .

Kanes eyelids twitched .

He forced himself to stay calm and urged , Please , speak plainly .

Ive weathered many storms in my life .

Im not easily scared .

Cedric sighed .

Aicker , if this poison is so dangerous , why havent you done anything to save me ? Cedric shook his head , his face filled with regret .

I wish I could help you , but the poison has already spread throughout your organs .

Its too late to reverse it .

He added , I can only try to extend your life a little longer .

However , theres no saying how much longer you can live .

Cedric left behind a vial of life saving pills , shaking his head as he went .

Kane sat alone in the quiet room , his face ashen .

After a long pause , a dark , twisted expression took over his features .

Harvey , you bastard ! And you , Serena , you bitch ! Get in here , both of you ! Kanes anguished roar echoed through the entire Weller residence in the dead of night .
