Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Chapter 14 Francesca glanced at Andrew from behind her desk , irritation rising at his seemingly indifferent attitude .

Dr.

Lloyd , dont you have anything to say for yourself ? Or do you admit to Dr.

Hacketts accusations and violation of hospital policy ? If so you can pack your things and leave this hospital .

I dont condone unruly behaviors here .

Andrew frowned .

Dr.

Aicker , since you called us here , I assume youre already informed of the matter .

Why ask questions you already know the answers to ? You … Francesca glared at Andrew , her temper Daring .

Bernard seized the moment and chimed in , Dr.

Aicker , look at him ! He has no humility or respect .

Hes nothing but a thug .

I suggest we fire him immediately and blacklist him from the medical profession entirely ! Andrew replied coldly , Bernard , you and Philip are the real disgrace to this profession .

How could you lie through your teeth ? Bernard turned to Francesca , pleading , Dr.

Aicker , hes still unrepentant , insulting us even now .

Please , do something ! Francesca cut him off impatiently .

Enough .

Ill handle this , Dr.

Hackett .

You can go now .

Bernard was stunned .

Aicker , what are you Francesca interrupted him , I said leave .

Ill investigate the matter and handle it accordingly.

If Dr.

Philip is falsely accused , Ill make sure the culprit faces the consequences .

Bernard had no choice but to leave .

Since he had already asked Francesca to handle Andrew , he believed she would do so out of respect for his status .
