Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Chapter 1771

As soon as they arrived at Blumedale Hospital and stepped out of the car,

Malcolm, Thomas, and Francesca were already there to greet them.

"Oh my, if it isn't Mr. Lloyd! What a rare guest! It's been ages since you last visited us here!" Malcolm laughed warmly, practically beaming.

Andrew waved his hand. "Come on, no need for all this fuss. I'm not some VIP, you and Dr. Bozzelli didn't need to come out personally."

Malcolm's expression turned serious. "Today is different from the past, Mr. Lloyd. It's only right that we come to welcome you."

Francesca stood beside them, trying to suppress a grin. She thought, 'Damn, look at my man! Walking into my workplace like he owns the place.'

Usually, she would roll her eyes, but still, this kind of attention gave her vanity a little thrill.

Only Thomas looked conflicted. He kept glancing at Andrew, wanting to say something. Eventually, he only managed a stiff, awkward welcome.

They said a lot could happen in a short time, and that was definitely true. Andrew had risen so fast in rank and influence that it was hard not to feel overshadowed just by standing near him.

Thomas certainly did. If he felt this way, one could only imagine how his student Jared felt.

Jared had once competed with Andrew for Francesca's affections out of jealousy. Upon learning that Andrew was coming to Blumedale Hospital, he did not even dare show his face.
