Chapter 604 Andrew held Laurens delicate hand tightly and said with conviction , Now , Ive found someone I truly care about .


    Everything in the past is behind me its gone for good .


    Laurens cheeks flushed red in an instant .


    With Francesca still present , she felt shy and tried to pull her hand away .


    But Andrew tightened his grip and gave a gentle tug , pulling Lauren toward him .


    Ah ! Lauren eximed softly , falling into Andrews arms .


    Before she could react , he wrapped an arm around her slender waist , holding her close .


    A shiver ran through Laurens body like an electric current , leaving her feeling weak and her ears burning red .


    She stammered softly , Dr.


    Lloyd , y you … dont do this .


    Fran is still here .


    Let go ! Andrew chuckled .


    No , I dont want to .


    Francesca , sitting nearby , felt a pang of difort as she watched the two of them so intimately close .


    Her heart felt hollow and uneasy .


    Yet at the same time , she couldnt help but feel a wave of embarrassment .


    She noticed Andrews hand roaming slightly , exploring familiar territory on Lauren .


    Meanwhile , Laurens long legs naturally found their ce draped over Andrewsp .


    The scene was undeniably intimate and electric , enough to make Francescas face turn red and her heart race uncontrobly .


    You shameless pair ! Go ahead and enjoy yourselves .


    Im leaving ! Unable to bear the sight any longer , Francesca quickly stood up and hurried out of the medical center .


    Once outside , she pressed her flushed cheeks with her hands , feeling how warm they were .


    Are they really going to … in the medical center they just opened ? Francesca muttered as her mind wandered to less than innocent thoughts .


    Part of her wanted to turn around and sneak a peek , but she felt too embarrassed to act on it .


    She also felt a slight sting of jealousy both Lauren , her closest friend , and Andrew , the man she admired .


    If only … if only they included me , Francesca thought to herself .


    Her face burned even hotter at the ridiculous notion .


    She pped her cheeks and chided herself , Francesca Aicker , are you insane ? What are you even thinking ? No way ! Absolutely not ! she muttered , shaking her head Letting Andrew have two women to himself ? That would make him way too smug .


    Its not happening ! At that moment , her phone rang .


    It was her grandfather , Cedric Aicker .


    Grandpa , Im still at the medical center .


    Whats up ? Cedrics voice sounded unusually serious .


    Francesca ,e back to the Aicker residence .


    I have something important to discuss with you .


    Francesca didnt think much of it and replied , Alright , Ill head back now ! Inside Moonlit Apothecary , Andrew satfortably on his custom wooden chair with Lauren nestled in his arms .


    The two were sharing a passionate kiss .


    Chapter 604 Dr.


    Lloyd , wait … Wheres Fran ? Lauren murmured , her voice soft and breathless .


    Her mind was hazy , overwhelmed by the warmth and intensity of Andrews kisses .


    She felt frustrated with herself why did she always be so powerless and pliable in his presence ? Andrews hand slid over Laurens smooth legs , bing bolder with every passing moment .


    Shes gone , Andrew replied with a yful smile .


    After seeing us , she was too embarrassed to stay .


    As Andrews hand wandered further , brushing against forbidden territory , Laurens entire body tensed .


    In that instant , the world seemed to fade light , color , and sound dimmed , leaving only a nk void .


    Her instincts told her to resist , to pull away , to flee .


    But her body wouldnt obey , drained of all strength as Andrews touch struck her spot .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , youre … youre terrible ! Stop it … You cant do that to me ! Lauren pleaded softly , her voice trembling like a gentle rain ,ced with a faint nasal tone .
