Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 401

Chapter 401 Andrew said , Mr.

Chapman , please wait outside .

This is a treatment room , and its best not to have non medical personnel present .

He added confidently , As for Lucy , give me half an hour , and shell be perfectly fine .

Marcus was stunned by the young doctors composure and confidence .

After all , Bernard had been frantically trying to help his beloved daughter without success , yet Andrew claimed he only needed 30 minutes .

Seeing his hesitation , Francesca smiled and said , Dont worry , Mr.

Chapman .

Youre an executive at the Rhodes family corporation and one of Laurens people .

Lucy will receive the best care possible in our facility .

Marcus nodded and said , Alright , Ill wait outside for Dr.

Lloyds good news .

However , let me be clear Lucys well being is non negotiable .

Bernards face darkened considerably as he asked .

Dr.

Lloyd , are you stealing my patient ? He had hoped to establish a connection with Marcus , but those plans seemed to be falling apart , which deeply frustrated him .

Andrew frowned and replied , Dr.

Hackett , I believe saving lives is what matters most .

If you feel Im stealing your patient , you can continue the treatment Ive already identified the cause Bernards expression fluctuated between anger and uncertainty .

Malaria was not a joke .

It was extremely difficult to treat .

He snorted and stepped aside , saying , Never mind .

Since Mr.

Chapman has requested your care , I should know my place .

Andrew said nothing and began treating Lucy .

Francesca watched with contempt , thinking how calculating Bernard was the moment he heard it was malaria , with its potent ….

ly fatal complications , he immediately backed off .

She believed his excessive ambition would ultimately limit his success .

Half an hour later , Andrew emerged from the treatment room .

Marcus , who had been anxiously waiting , immediately asked , Dr.

Lloyd , how is Lucy ? Andrew smiled and replied , Why dont you go see for yourself , Mr.

Lloyd , be careful working in the same hospital as him .

Andrew smiled and responded , Thank you for the warning , Mr.

Chapman , b already harbors a deep hatred for me .

Were sworn enemies , careful or not .

but Dr.

Hackett Marcus said coldly , I despise people who cause trouble despite their lack of ability .

From now on , Dr.

Lloyd , just call me Marcus if you need anything , Ill be glad to help .

Andrew replied , Im not sure if Ill need anything from you in the future , but I do have something Id like to ask you now .

Then , Andrew showed Marcus to his office , where he asked Nyla to prepare tea for their guest .

Once settled , he carefully asked , Mr.

Chapman , as an executive at the Rhodes family corporation , you must know something about Ms.

Rhodes current situation ?
