Chapter 603 At Moonlit Apothecary , the members of Madde Martial Academy bid farewell shortly after the Stevens family left .


    Rodney let out a long sigh of relief .


    He hadnt expected Andrew to order Natasha to give Aspen a beating .


    Seeing her get put in her ce was incredibly satisfying .


    Aspen was no longer someone Rodney could handle .


    With Gordon around , Rodney knew he wasntpletely out of danger yet .


    Watching Andrew deal with Aspen was cathartic , but if it had been him , he wouldnt have dared .


    The fear Gordon instilled in him was too great .


    For now , he would stay away from Aspen , though the grudge he held burned deeply .


    After thest guest left , Andrew , Lauren , and Francesca turned and stepped into the apothecary .


    Francesca began showing Andrew around the various functional areas of the medical center .


    Originally owned by the Weller family , the building had been one of thergest upscale clubs in Jayrodale .


    It was vast and luxurious .


    After its transformation into a medical center , it retained its grandeur while also bing practical for its new purpose .


    Lauren and Francesca had been thoughtful in their design , even including a private office and a rest area for Andrew .


    They also added a dedicated alchemy room and a leisure room filled with entertainment equipment .


    Andrew looked around , clearly impressed and satisfied .


    However , he realized he wouldnt use many of the areas , especially the leisure room .


    Entertainment didnt appeal to him much .


    The high end gym equipment might see asional use , but as a martial artist , he didnt need it .


    If he wanted to push his body to its limits , he could simply head to an underground arena .


    And if he desired a perfectly sculpted physique , he could achieve that with ease .


    As a master of medicine , Andrew could stimte specific acupuncture points ,bine them with tailored treatments , and achieve any desired physical transformation whether it was a bodybuilders muscles on a figure like a fitness model .


    Lauren , Fran , youve really put a lot of thought into this , Andrew said after the tour , as the three of them sat in the front hall .


    Lauren smiled softly , her tone tender .


    As long as you like it , Im happy to do anything for you .


    Francesca blushed slightly , turning her head to feign indifference .


    The designs , colors , andyouts were all Laurens ideas .


    If anything , you should thank her properly .


    Andrew chuckled .


    No , I should thank both of you .


    Only then did a subtle smile touch Francescas lips , though she quickly masked her joy .


    I just want you to like it , same as Lauren .


    Lauren studied Andrew for a moment and asked gently , D Lloyd , is something bothering you ? Andrew raised an eyebrow .


    Why do you ask ? Laurens voice was calm and soothing .


    You and Christina have always been entangled unfinished business between you .


    But today , your attitude changed so drastically .


    You told her to leave , and I imagine it must have been a difficult decision for you .


    Francesca added , Andrew , Christina isnt inherently a bad person .


    Shes just struggling with jealousy and resentment after seeing you doing so well while she feels left behind .


    But after what you said today , I think any 12 Chapter 603 lingering connection between you two is likely severed .


    That mustve been hard for you .


    Andrew paused briefly before breaking into a smile .


    No , youre both wrong .


    Lauren blinked , surprised .


    Wrong ? Then how do you feel , Dr.


    Lloyd ? 1 Francesca also looked at him curiously .


    Andrewughed softly .


    To be honest , I feel nothing at all no sadness , no regret .


    My heart is calm ,pletely at peace .


    I let go of Christina a long time ago .


    Through everything thats happened recently , Ivee to see her clearly .


    Shes not the person for me , and thats okay .
