Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 555

Chapter 555 Lauren giggled and said , Dr.

Lloyd , you silly man , you can even figure out something as obvious as a girls feelings .

Im not explaining it to you see you at the medical center later .

With that , she hung up .

Andrew thought for a moment .

Why was Francesca upset ? Could it have something to do with Simon ? But that didnt seem right .

Francesca had mentioned before that Simon had come to terms with her decision and had even offered his blessings .

After mulling it over , Andrew decided to call Francesca .

Fran , Id like to thank you and Lauren for taking care of everything for the medical center .

After the opening ceremony , let me treat you to dinner .

Francescas tone tone was lackluster , almost lethargic .

Theres no need , Andrew .

I helped you willingly .

You dont have to take me out .

Andrew chuckled .

Fran , you dont sound well .

Are you feeling sick ? Francesca responded softly , her voice subdued .

Yes , Im sick very sick .

Andrew frowned .

Youre a doctor yourself .

How can you not take care of your own health ? Come to the medical center early .

Ill check you over .

Francesca sighed weakly .

Theres no need .

My illness isnt physical ; its in my heart .

So , you cant fix it .

Lets just leave it at that , Andrew .

Ill see you later .

Before Andrew could say anything else , Francesca hung up .

Andrew was puzzled .

Although Francesca still answered his questions , her tone clearly conveyed a sense of distance and hesitation , as if she was avoiding him .
