Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 101 The invited guests would undoubtedly receive Marks favor and shower of gratitude

Even after all his scheming, Harvey had absolutely nothing to show for it, which left him seething with frustration

What angered him most was Andrew, that loser, somehow managed to steal his spotlight.

He was supposed to be Jayrodales golden boy, the rising star of the younger generation destined for greatness.

Harvey growled through gritted teeth, Andrew, youve stolen my thunder one too many times.

Just wait Ill find a way to take you down! Burning with anger and resentment, he stormed out of the Thatcher residence.

Just then, Christina called and asked, Harvey, hows Mr.noveldrama

Thatcher doing? Harvey forced a laugh, trying to keep his voice steady as he replied, Everythings fine

now

Hes cured

Christina exclaimed in surprise, Thats wonderful news! But who managed to heal him? Was it Dr. Aicker, the one you invited? Of course, Harvey lied snoothly, not showing an ounce of shame. It was Dr.

Aicker

Who else could handle something; this complicated? Even though his pride had taken a hit, Harvey maintained his confident tone.

Naturally.

Mr.

Thatcher has already called me in for a private meeting.

Just wait for the good news, Christie.

Ill talk to you later.

Sure, go ahead.

He probably wants to thank you personally, Christina said.

By the way, I heard Andrew also showed up at the mayors mansion.

Did you see him? Harvey sneered.

Christie, dont even mention that guy.

He made a fool of himself and got kicked out by security.

Christina let out a cold laugh.

I really dont understand what goes through his head sometimes.

Anyway, Ive got to go! Meanwhile, in the main hall.

Mark was clearly moved, and he said earnestly, Mr.

Lloyd, I dont know how I can ever repay you for saving my life

Without even realizing it, he had switched to addressing Andrew formally.

Cedric chuckled.

Mr.

Thatcher, your recovery is entirely thanks to Dr.

Lloyd

I didnt lift a finger, so theres no need to thank me.

Chapter 101 Lauren smiled playfully.

Oh ? Mr.

Thatcher actually wants to thank Dr.

Lloyd ? Young lady, what are you suggesting? Mark laughed.

Are you implying that my word as the mayor of Jayrodale means nothing? Leaning affectionately on Andrew, Lauren grinned.

Well, Dr.

Lloyd doesnt care much about money.

If he needs any, I can support him just fine, so you dont need to worry about financial compensation. Andrew felt slightly awkward at how bold she was acting

To anyone watching, it would look like she was claiming him as her own.

Well then, Mr.

Lloyd, name anything within my power, and its yours, Mark offered.

After a moments thought, Andrew replied, When I treat patients outside my practice, I usually accept rare medicinal ingredients as payment.

Rare medicinal ingredients? Mark asked, intrigued.

You mean those precious substances.

that contain innate spiritual energy and are far more valuable than common herbs? Andrew nodded. Exactly

Do you happen to have any in your collection? Mark smiled broadly.

While such ingredients are incredibly rare and hard to come by, youre in luck.

I actually have a Seventh Heaven Quince in my vault! Andrews eyes lit up at this news.

The Seventh Heaven Quince was exactly one of the rare ingredients he needed.

He had not expected it to show up here of all places.
