    Youve got what you wanted .


    When are you going to treat me ? Andrew replied frankly , Just set a time .


    But I should warn you about the treatment .


    Ill need to lift your dress .


    Francesca froze .


    Lift my dress ? What do you mean ? Andrew exined calmly , Your condition isnt ordinary .


    Its more severe , which Im sure youre aware of .


    Francescas face flushed as she realized the implications , and anger .


    her gaze a mix of embarrassment Ignoring her reaction , Andrew continued , To ensure aplete cure , Ill need to perform a minimally invasive procedure on the … affected area .


    Understand ? Francesca gritted her teeth .


    Thats hardly appropriate between a man and a woman , dont you think ? Andrew frowned .


    To a medical practitioner , theres no distinction between male and female patients .


    Youre a doctor yourself .


    How can you not understand this ? Francesca was speechless , but the thought of Andrew touching her , especially in such a sensitive area , was ufortable .


    Andrews expression softened slightly .


    Dont worry .
