Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 6 Author:Only For You Last Updated:2024-10-14 10:13:00 Andrew nodded.

He was surprised by Bernards unexpected insight.

Philip, behaving like an idiot, asked his father, Dad, whats this pressure-point technique? It doesnt seem like a big deal to me.

Bernards face darkened instantly, wishing he could slap some sense into his dimwitted son.

He hissed, You fool, just shut up already! Havent you embarrassed us enough? The pressure-point technique is a legendary skill in medicine.

Its said that some reclusive ancient healers could even take or save lives instantly using this method, controlling a persons very life force with a single touch.

Lauren was quite knowledgeable and had seen it all.

Even so, she was genuinely amazed by Andrews skill from the moment he began as she realized this man, rumored to be Christinas boy toy, possessed genuine medical expertise.

She wondered why someone so talented was mistaken for a freeloader.

The treatment did not take long.

Ten minutes later, the blood transfusion was complete.

Andrew bandaged Cecelias wound and cleaned everything up meticulously, then instructed them not to disturb the childs rest before leaving the emergency room.

Lauren hurried after him, calling, Dr.

Lloyd, please wait.

Andrew turned to face her.

Is there something else? Lauren was looking slightly pale from the blood transfusion, and she said earnestly, Nothing much.

I just wanted to thank the staff at Jayrodale General Hospital properly.

If it werent for you all, Cece might have been in real trouble.

She motioned to Eunice, who promptly brought forward the prepared gifts.

The nurses and doctors who had assisted Andrew received their gifts with surprise.

They knew it was all thanks to Andrew that the Rhodes family was being so generous.

Ms.

Rhodes, youre too kind.

As doctors, were just doing our job.

Theres no need for these gifts, Philip and Bernard chimed in, approaching with self-righteous expressions.

Philip, in particular, wore a poorly concealed smug look as if he had been instrumental in saving the patient.

Laurens indifferent response cut through their pretense.

Im sorry, but I wanted to thank Dr.

Lloyd and his team.

It doesnt really have anything to do with you two.

Ignoring their frozen smiles, Lauren presented Andrew with a gold card.

Dr.

Lloyd, this is a token of appreciation from the Rhodes family, specifically for you.

Please accept it.

Before Andrew could respond, Philip rushed over, breathing heavily.

His eyes locked on the card as he asked, Ms.

Rhodes, isnt that the exclusive Black Gold Card from Rhodes Corporation? How can you give it to this loser? If youre giving it to anyone, it should be my dad or me.

My dads the deputy chief of this hospital, so if were talking about credit, it should start with him… Lauren, unable to tolerate such shamelessness any longer, coldly commanded, Someone get him out of here.

Two burly bodyguards immediately stepped forward, grabbing Philip by the hair and roughly dragging him away, ignoring his screams.

Seeing this, Bernard did not dare direct his anger at Lauren.

Instead, he turned to Andrew with a dark expression.

Dr.

Lloyd, your medical skills may be good, but remember, without the hospital, youre nothing! Andrew did not accept Laurens card.

He had never been in the habit of receiving gifts from patients, even though this card represented the prestigious Rhodes Corporation and would make countless people at Jayrodale green with envy.

Miss, is this Dr.

Lloyd playing hard to get? Eunice asked with a frown.

She had never seen anyone unmoved by a Rhodes Corporations Black Gold Card, especially one personally offered by Lauren.

Lauren shook her head thoughtfully.

I dont think so.

He genuinely doesnt want it… Though, if he were playing hard to get with me, that might not be so bad… She finished with a coy smile, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

Eunice was left speechless by Laurens remark, but she did not take her words seriously.

The Rhodes familys heiress was a rare beauty.

Few in Jayrodale could catch her eye.

Though handsome and skilled, Andrew was still just a doctor after all.

As the end of the shift approached, Andrew finished his work and left Jayrodale General Hospital.

Just as he reached the entrance, a pink Maserati pulled up beside him.

The window rolled down, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

Dr.

Lloyd, what a coincidence.

We meet again, Lauren said with a smile.

Andrew nodded politely.

Hello, Ms.

Rhodes.

Laurens smile widened.

Cece insists on thanking you in person for saving her life.

Theres a fundraising gala at South City Orphanage tonight.

Why dont you join us and keep Cece company? Andrew was about to decline, but he got into the car upon hearing it was at South City Orphanage.

In that case, thank you, Ms.

Rhodes.

I actually needed to visit South City Orphanage myself.

Lauren looked surprised.

Dr.

Lloyd, are you also a guest tonight? Andrew shook his head.

Im just a simple doctor, not important enough for an invitation.

Im just familiar with the children and staff at the orphanage, so I thought Id drop by.

Lauren didnt press further, realizing that only Jayrodales elite would attend the event at South City Orphanage.

Such a high-society gathering would likely be out of Andrews league.

Suddenly, two SUVs came racing toward them, sandwiching the Maserati.

Laurens expression changed, and she was about to accelerate when the SUV in front slammed on its brakes, forcing her to stop.

After that, about eight burly men jumped out of the vehicles.

Their leader, a man with a scarred face, leaped onto the hood of the Maserati and grinned at Lauren.

Ms.

Rhodes, please step out of the car.

Lauren remained calm and spoke coldly, Whose men are you? Have you considered the consequences of messing with the Rhodes family? The scarred man shrugged.

Its precisely because we know youre the Rhodes familys princess that were doing this.

Dont worry, Ms.

Rhodes, we wont harm you, but Im afraid you wont make it to South City Orphanage tonight.

Lauren immediately realized this was a ploy by her competitors to sabotage her.

Dr.

Lloyd, Cece, hold tight.

These bastards dont know what theyre in for.

Im calling for help right now.

Seeing Lauren reach for her phone, the scarred mans face darkened.

He waved his hand and ordered, Break open the car door.

Two men approached with sledgehammers, clearly prepared for this.

Lauren felt a surge of panic, knowing that even if she called now, her familys bodyguards would not arrive in time.

Ms.noveldrama

Rhodes, dont waste your time.

Its best if you cooperate with us, the scarred man sneered, looking smug.

At that moment, the locked Maserati door opened, and Andrew stepped out of the car.

Dr.

Lloyd, dont get out! Its dangerous! Lauren cried out, forgetting about her phone call.

The scarred man burst into laughter.

Ms.

Rhodes, your pretty boy here is useless.

Hes as timid as a mouse.

My men havent even touched him, and hes already surrendering.

What a total wimp! Lauren sighed in resignation and put down her phone.

Fine.

The Rhodes family withdraws from tonights fundraiser at the orphanage.

Just dont harm Dr.

Lloyd.

Hes an outsider and has nothing to do with our feud.

It was then that Andrew spoke up.

The child in the car is my patient, and youve already frightened her.

Now, Im giving you ten seconds to get lost.
