Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Norman scoffed as he demanded, "Mr. Keller, was there something wrong with my attitude just now? I truly admire Mr. Lloyd's talent for networking and finding powerful backers! But when it comes to real skill and medical expertise, am I, as a department head, not allowed to express doubts?"

Logan frowned as he said flatly, "Dr. Ellington, are you seriously pushing your luck? You don't deserve to question anything here! Let me make this clear- discussing medicine in front of Andy? You're not even fit to shine his shoes."

He continued, "Do you know Dr. Mosby Lake? Even he wouldn't dare to act so arrogantly around Andy. So, who do you think you are?"

Norman grew furious. "Mr. Keller, you—"

Logan cut him off with a cold snort. "Shut up! Let me reveal something else to you —Mr. Phelan Senior and my father were both cured by Andrew.

"Now ask yourself, what right do you have to show off your superiority complex here? What gives you the right to jump around acting like you're something special?"

Norman suddenly felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over him from head to toe. Looking at Andrew, he asked uncertainly, "Is that true?"

Andrew did not even feel like acknowledging him and refused to respond, clearly finding Norman beneath his notice.

Chantelle stepped in. "Dr. Ellington, I can testify to these matters as well. It's true, absolutely true!"

"You can question Mr. Lloyd's character if you want, but you absolutely cannot doubt his medical skills," she added, simultaneously supporting Andrew while taking a subtle jab at him.

Women had complex minds, but Andrew was not in the mood to quibble with this frigid personality.

Meanwhile, Norman completely lost his composure. He only half-believed Logan's defense of Andrew, taking his words with a grain of salt. However, Chantelle was different-she represented the governor and would not stoop so low as to deceivenoveldrama

him.

In other words, Andrew's medical skills had truly impressed the Three Titans and Five Apex Families.

It was then that Norman realized he had indeed been showing off in front of a true expert.

His face turned beet red, and he stammered for a long time, not knowing what to say. The incident where Mosby had failed miserably at the Ketter family home-not only failing to cure George but getting beaten so badly he coughed blood-had been the talk of Blumedale's medical community.

However, the person who had successfully treated George had not become

famous, so word had not spread widely.

Norman never imagined that this highly skilled person would turn out to be Andrew, whom he had looked down upon. Moreover, the guy

appeared remarkably young, el not

at

all like one of those mysterious old medical geniuses.

Could he actually be some kind of prodigy?

While Norman was lost in thought, Andrew and the others arrived at Malcolm's office in Blumedale Hospital.

Malcolm was one of Blumedale Hospital's three deputy chiefs. He was also the most renowned senior leader at Blumedale Hospital, enjoying an excellent reputation in academic circles.

Before Andrew's group could knock, two people arrived, one after the other. The first had graying hair and a naturally imposing expression.

Norman quickly smiled when he saw him and greeted respectfully, "Dr. Bozzelli, good to see you!"

Andrew raised an eyebrow, realizing this person must be one of Blumedale Hospital's directors, which meant he was a major figure in Gabo Creek's medical community.

As Andrew glanced at the second person, that individual also looked his way. The newcomer immediately let out a cold laugh and mocked, "What a coincidence. Andrew, Knever thought someone like you would have the qualifications to come to a place like this!"

Andrew smirked. "Today's really turning out to be unlucky. I just dealt with one loser, and now another one shows up!"

It was none other than Bernard Hackett from Jayrodale General Hospital.
