Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 87 Cedric was seething with rage.

As a renowned medical expert, having his granddaughter seek treatment from an outsider felt like a direct insult to his abilities, implying he was useless

Fine then, Grandpa ! Francesca snapped, her cheeks puffing with anger.

Go ahead and cure me right now

I dont want to live with this condition anymore! Cedric immediately deflated, forcing an awkward laugh.

Fran, you know Ive been researching your condition to find a cure.

Just give me a few more years, and I promise III heal you.

Thats exactly what you said three years ago, Francesca replied, her voice heavy with sadness.

How many more years can I wait? Im already 28.

Do you want to watch me grow old with this condition? Tears welled up in Francescas eyes as her emotions got the better of her.

Cedrics expression softened as he sighed.

Youre right, sweetheart.

Its my fault.

But how can this young man accomplish what I couldnt? Francesca bit her lip and admitted, I dont know

if Andrew can cure my condition, but I want to give it a try! Cedric turned to Andrew with a stern gaze.

Are you truly capable of this? Youll find out soon enough, Andrew replied calmly.

As Cedric seemed to consider the proposition, Simon quickly intervened.

Mr.

Aicker, you cant trust this fraud ! Cedric was confused.

Fraud? Simon continued his protest, He clearly has ulterior motives for Francesca.

Think about it-treating her condition would require intimate examinations.

We cant allow that! Simons right, Cedric stated, shaking his head.

Absolutely not, Fran.

This is out of the question

Francescas voice turned cold.

Fine, Grandpa

If you wont let Andrew treat me, then you do it, right now

Cedric was left speechless, knowing his precious granddaughter was just as stubborn as he was.

Fran, you dont need this nobody, Simon declared proudly.

Give me a year to study at the Advanced Medical Institute, and III return with a cure.

Francesca looked surprised.

Simon, thats one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the country.

Would they even accept you? Simon gazed at Francesca with deep affection.

You know how I feel about you, Fran

I dont Chapter 87 know if theyll accept me, but Id risk everything for you.

Francesca blushed and remained silent as Simon took a step closer.

Weve grown up together, studied medicine together.

I might as well be honest I love you, and I wont marry anyone else.

Turning to Andrew with a cold smirk, Simon added; Whatever your intentions are with Fran, I suggest

you leave.

Were perfect for each other in terms of both medical expertise and social standing.

You might fool Fran with your schemes, but you cant fool me.

If you insist on pursuing her, youre asking for trouble!
