Chapter 619 Michael shook his head in pity .
Man , Simon really got the short end of the stick .
Losing his pride and manhood and even wasting hisst moment on a pig .
Thats beyond agic .
I cant even wrap my head around it .
Bane remained calm , his tone indifferent .
At least hes alive .
Thats all that matters .
He narrowed his eyes and added thoughtfully , I didnt expect Andrew to pull off a move like that .
I need to meet him sooner orter to figure out his techniques .
Even I couldnt fully understand what he did .
Michael smirked .
Dont worry , Mr.
Eslinger .
Your n for Rhodes Corporation is almost finished .
Once Lauren falls , Andrew will be out of the picture there .
After that , dealing with him will be a piece of cake.
Bane hummed softly , his expression darkening .
Dealing with him isnt what intrigues me .
I want to know where he learned his medical skills and how deep his expertise runs .
Meanwhile , at the Aicker residence .
Andrew exited Francescas room , wiping the sweat from his forehead .
Francescas junior apprentice had been waiting outside the door .
Dr.
Lloyd , hows Fran doing ? the young man asked nervously .
Andrew gave him a reassuring smile .
Shes fine now .
You dont have to worry anymore .
The apprentice discreetly nced Andrew up and down .
His clothes were neat , his shoes were on , and his zipper was closed .
Contrary to the dramatic warnings Cedric had given him , it did not look like anything inappropriate had happened .
Dr.
Lloyd , Mr.
Aicker is awake .
He asked me to bring you to the living room , the man said respectfully .
His gaze , however , held a mix of curiosity and admiration , almost as if he were looking at a brother inw figure .
Andrew walked over to a nearby faucet and thoroughly washed his hands .
After drying them , he chuckled softly .
Alright .
Lead the way .
I want to check on his condition anyway .
As they made their way down the hall , Andrew reflected on Francescas condition .
The Enthralling Essence in her system had finally dissipated , leaving her out of danger .
Despite the tension , Andrew had managed to avoid a direct physical rtionship with her .
Instead , he had used an alternative method one that was not exactly ideal but had worked nheless .
Earlier that same day , Andrew had already found himself in a simr situation with Lauren at Moonlit Apothecary .
Now , here he was again , having to wet his hands to help Francesca .
There was nothing enjoyable about it if anything , the experiences had tested his willpower to its limit .
Andrew sighed inwardly .
Things with Lauren had not progressed to the point where intimacy felt natural , even though he sensed she would be open to it if he made a move .
However , he did not want to force anything that would disrespect her .
On the other hand , Francesca had thrown herself at him withplete openness and vulnerability .
Yet Andrew could not bring himself to take advantage of her in that state .
Life had a strange way ofplicating things .
He shook his head and smiled bitterly .
He could not help but think , Fate sure has a twisted sense of humor ! Cedric was seated on a sofa when Andrew entered the living room .
He immediately expressed his gratitude , saying , Dr.
Lloyd , I dont know how to thank you .
You saved everyone here .
Andrew waved it off .
Youre too kind , Mr.
Aicker .
Fran is my friend , and youre her family .
Helping you was the 1/2 Chapter 619 right thing to do .
Cedric coughed lightly and sighed .
I never imagined Simon would stoop to such a monstrous act .
I should have seen iting .
Hes lost all traces of humanity .
Dont me yourself too much , Andrew replied calmly .
Simons downfall was his own doing .
It has little to do with you .
Cedric smiled bitterly and shook his head .
Perhaps .
But it has everything to do with Fran .
Thats what I cant forgive myself for .
