Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 471

Chapter 471 Lauren exclaimed urgently , Dr.

Lloyd , you cant do this ! Mr.

Chapman is emotionally unstable -we should wait for the rescue team .

She did not need to elaborate further , as Andrew already understood her meaning .

She feared that if he tried to save Marcus and was not careful enough , Marcus might actually jump , and Andrew would have to bear that devastating consequence .

Andrew smiled reassuringly and said , Ms.

Rhodes , trust me .

I will bring Mr.

Chapman back safely .

Andrew , are you trying to be the hero again ? Are you looking for more trouble ? Eunice snapped angrily .

Do you understand what will happen if you fail to save Mr.

Chapman ? If I cant bring him back , Ill take full responsibility , Andrew replied coldly , which silenced everyone as they watched him slowly approach Marcus .

Breaking out in a cold sweat , Eunice turned to Lauren and said , Miss , how can you just there and let him act so recklessly? In this situation , whoever tries to save Mr.

Chapman takes on the risk of failure .

Think about it if they fail to save Mr.

Chapman , wont that person face the hatred of all employees ? They might even face criminal charges ! Lauren responded with a cold laugh , Are you finished ? If so , let me explain something to you Whats that ? Eunice asked , bewildered .

Laurens face showed contempt as she spoke calmly , In the face of saving a human life , Dr.

Lloyd has put aside his personal reputation and is moving forward despite enormous risks .

Yet you call this reckless behavior .

So , Eunice , you think being a coward , being fearful , lacking empathy and compassion is the right way to go ? She added , And you think Dr.

Lloyd , whos facing potential public criticism and bearing the pressure of becoming a target of blame while trying to save someone alone , is a foot ? Eunice was at a loss for words , Miss , I Lauren smirked and declared , A man who does what must be done despite resistance thats the kind of partner Ive been searching for my whole life ! If Mr.

Chapman does jump and we cant save him , Dr.

Lloyd and I will bear all responsibility together .

He asked , If one obstacle can bring us down , how are we supposed to handle the countless hurdles ahead ? For a moment , Marcus seemed dazed , his expression softening .

He muttered , I used to be someone who believed that too .

I once vowed to stand tall , pursue greatness , and make my life meaningful , But in the end , fate played a cruel joke on me .

Perhaps death is my only destination ! Andrew frowned slightly , realizing Marcus emotional wounds were deeper than anticipated .

He said , Mr.

Chapman , with your wisdom and perspective , surely you understand that life is a cycle of ups and downs .

We all have moments of triumph , just as we all face times of despair .

But true heroes are those who recognize lifes cruelty yet still choose to embrace and love it- dont you think so ?
