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 assyoure 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.

Im the deputy chief! I cant let a nobody like him trample my reputation.

Please, do something! Francesca cut him off impatiently.

Enough.

Ill handle this, Dr.

Hackett.

You can go now.

Bernard was stunned.

Dr.

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

Ill investigate the matter and handle it accordingly.

If Dr.

Philip is falsely accused, III 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.

Once Bernard had left, Francesca leaned back in her chair, her perky chest straining against her coat. Well, Dr.

Lloyd, youre certainly quite impressive! she said with a hint of sarcasm.

Andrew looked puzzled Im not sure I understand your meaning, Dr.

Aicker.

He was baffled by Francescas sudden comment, especially since he could not recall having any interaction with her before.

Francesca smirked.

Lets not play games.

We both know what Im talking about.

Andrew frowned.

Dr.

Aicker, I genuinely dont know what you mean .

But if youre referring to Philip and Bernard, my stance remains the sthey got what they deserved. Francesca slammed her hand on the desk.

Andrew, dont try to change the subject! Lauren is my best friend, and our families have been close for generations I dont care about your messy personal life, but if youre after Lauren, I wont stand for it.

Andrew was taken aback, finally understanding the source of Francescas anger.

I think youve misunderstood.

Ms.

Rhodes and I have no relationship whatsoever, he explained calmly.

Francesca scoffed.

Lauren might not see through you, but I do.

Youre deliberately trying to get her attention, arent you? Andrew remained expressionless.

Thats absurd Is it? Francesca continued.

Werent you Christina Stevens boy toy before? III admit you have scharm, and Laurens naive enough to fall for it.

But let the warn you, youre not good enough for her.

Not by a long shot.

Andrew replied firmly, Ill say it again: theres nothing between Ms.

Rhodes andAndrew used to have srespect for Francesca, acknowledging her decent medical skills despite her age. However, this exchange only proved that Francesca was nothing more than a short tempered, busty bimbo.

Francesca sneered, I know there isnt, and there never will be.

Youre not in her league.

Laurens the heiress of the Rhodes family, a true socialite.

Do you have any idea how many people in Jayrodale would kil to be with her? And you, she continued, her voice dripping with disdain, instead of focusing on your career, youre busy chasing women and trying to climb the social ladder on their coattails.

Why resort to being a kept man when youre a decent doctor? Andrew looked at Francesca gravely.

Francesca, I think youre sick.

Francesca was stunned.

What did you just call? I said youre sick.

Seriously sick, Andrew replied, his face blank.

Judging by your temper, Id say youre dealing with shormonal imbalances.

Francescas face turned beet red.

Andrew, you bastard ! Do you wantto fire you? Andrew shrugged, turning to leave.

Go ahead.

This little hospital doesnt mean much toanyway.

As he reached the door, he added, But as a doctor, I feel obligated to warn you.

That condition of yours ... If you dont treat it soon, you might never experience the joys of intimacy.

With that, Andrew slammed the door behind him, leaving a fuming Francesca .

Francescas chest heaved with anger and embarrassment.

Suddenly, a realization struck her- how did Andrew know about her deeply personal medical condition? She wondered if Lauren had betrayed her.

She was embarrassed.

After all, vaginal atresia was a rare condition that only affected a small Chapter 14.

+25 BONUS number of women.

Due to this condition, Francesca could not experience physical intimacy, which was why she remained a virgin.

She was utterly at a loss for how to treat her condition and e deliteven resigned to a life of @celibate, destined to remain untouched. Composing herself, she muttered, Andrew, I know Lauren will probably begto keep you on .

Fine, Ill let you keep your job, but stay away from her.

You two are from different worlds.

Meanwhile, Bernard was at Philips bedside as he regained consciousness.

Philip, his face contorted with rage, demanded, Dad, you have to avenge me! Make Andrew pay.

I want him to suffer just as I did! Bernard tried to calm his son.

Phil, I told you to create a little trouble so we could get rid of Andrew.

But you went too far.

What were you thinking, harassing that nurse? Philip was livid as hen ashen explained ive had my eye on Nyla for a while. I knew she had a crush on Andrew, so I thought Id use her to set him up.

Once he intervened, Id accuse him of assault, and then you couldve had him fired.

At the r mention of this, Philip got more worked up and started yelling, I didnt expect him to actually fight back.

He had seriously crossed the line by hurting my precious member and Im not letting him get away with it! Bernard frowned. You let your hormones cloud your judgment.

But dont worry, that punk wont get away with this.

Ive put pressure on Francesca .

If shes smart, shell know what to do.

Just then, Francescas assistant entered the room.

Dr.

Hackett, Im here to relay Dr.

Aickers decision.

Effective immediately, Philip is hereby fired for misconduct and violating hospital policies.

The news hit Philip and Bernard like a thunderbolt.

Suddenly, Philip let out a scream before.

passing out again.
