Chapter 1079

Author: Only For You
Elon roared at the top of his lungs. "And another thing, you lying bitch! You're pregnant, but I had to hear it for the first time in this damn room, during a standoff with Andrew?

"Not a single word these past few weeks. If today hadn't gone down the way it did, I'd still be in the dark, wouldn't I?"

Sherilyn sobbed through her tears. "Elon, please—just listen to me, okay? Just hear me out! It's not what you think! I-I just wanted to surprise you. That's why I didn't say anything!"

Andrew clicked his tongue. "Wow. What a surprise, alright. Sherilyn, I'm guessing the moment you found out you were pregnant, you realized the baby wasn't Elon's—and that's when the panic set in.

"You kept your mouth shut, hoping to cover it up. And today, in front of everyone, you got cocky and slipped up. You thought carrying a Goldings' baby gave you prestige. Instead, you just tripped over your own lie.

"But hey, no need to drag this out, Fatty. Just go to the hospital and get a paternity tes

    Everyone else was stunned, and honestly, so was Andrew. As Chantelle dragged him along, he gave her a wry smile. "What's this? You mad or something? Announcing our relationship in front of everyone like that? That's not really your style." Chantelle scoffed. "Hank's stare made my skin crawl." Andrew blinked. "So, you used me as a shield?" Chantelle gritted her teeth. "I wasn't using you as a shield. I meant it. I want to stay over at your place tonight." Andrew frowned. "Didn't we just do it last night? You're kind of on a streak lately." Chantelle nearly choked on her own breath. Her face flushed red with fury and embarrassment. "Andrew, are you even a man? How could you say that? Fine! Let's say I am insatiable. Just answer me straight—are you in or not?" Andrew did not hesitate for even a second. "I'm definitely in." If he even paused for a moment on an offer like that, he deserved to get struck by lightning. Chantelle said, "I'm leaving now. By the way, don't eve

    Hank said, "Alright, lead the way. I don't want to waste words on anything else. Frankly, none of you are qualified to know the rest." After that, he walked ahead with extreme arrogance. As he passed by Andrew, he shot him a cold glance. The look was meant to tell Andrew that he would be watching him now. Andrew remained completely calm. After all, Hank was just a rookie who came out of Special Ops. If it were not for the fact that Hank's superiors might still have some connection with him, Andrew would not mind finding a secluded place to beat him senseless. Later, the three arrived at Malcolm's office one after another. Chantelle was already seated and stood up as they entered. "Mr. Lloyd, how did it go?" Andrew smiled. "Why don't you ask Dr. Bozzelli?" Thomas immediately answered, "All the patients are fully cleared of the parasite poison! Dr. Lloyd's medical skill is nothing short of miraculous." Chantelle gave a warm, proud smile. Then, she looked at Andrew with c

    Hank's constant mockery was really starting to get on Francesca's nerves. Nonetheless, she still held back and did her best to explain. "Chief Armstrong, we've already explained this. This is the Grand Physician of Gabo Creek. He's here for the same reason you are, which is to help these patients." Malcolm had warned her that Hank came from a higher-level special unit. Hence, she should not offend him. Still, she could not stand that smug, condescending attitude. It was like everyone else in the room was beneath him. Hank casually adjusted his white gloves, taking his time as he shook his head. He said, "I was trying to be nice and save your lives. A so-called 'Grand Physician' who doesn't know his limits, meddling with things way beyond his capabilities? Tell me, is that not a death wish? "I've said my piece. So, whether you listen or not, I won't say anything more!" With that, he glanced at Andrew and actually laughed out loud with contempt. Francesca's face changed, and

    As soon as they arrived at Blumedale Hospital and stepped out of the car, Malcolm, Thomas, and Francesca were already there to greet them. "Oh my, if it isn't Mr. Lloyd! What a rare guest! It's been ages since you last visited us here!" Malcolm laughed warmly, practically beaming. Andrew waved his hand. "Come on, no need for all this fuss. I'm not some VIP, you and Dr. Bozzelli didn't need to come out personally." Malcolm's expression turned serious. "Today is different from the past, Mr. Lloyd. It's only right that we come to welcome you." Francesca stood beside them, trying to suppress a grin. She thought, 'Damn, look at my man! Walking into my workplace like he owns the place.' Usually, she would roll her eyes, but still, this kind of attention gave her vanity a little thrill. Only Thomas looked conflicted. He kept glancing at Andrew, wanting to say something. Eventually, he only managed a stiff, awkward welcome. They said a lot could happen in a short time, and that

    Just then, Chantelle walked in carrying the tea, only to freeze on the spot. Her eyes widened as she blurted out, "Holy crap!" Derek was practically draped over Andrew, his hands all over the place. Meanwhile, Andrew's shirt had been pulled open at the chest, and he kept dodging Derek's hands. "Governor McCormick… W-w-what are you two doing?!" stared, completely stunned. Derek scrambled upright and cleared his throat, his face slightly flushed. "Elle, it's not what it looks like!" Then, he laughed awkwardly. "Come on, Mr. Lloyd, let's have some tea!" His hands were shaking so badly that half the tea spilled. Derek was still shocked that Andrew bore the legendary Blood-Eyed Black Dragon mark on his chest. Even for someone like him, who had seen all sorts of powerful figures, he still felt waves of excitement coursing through him. The Blood-Eyed Black Dragon marking was the unique symbol that marked someone as a true heir of the Lloyds bloodline—one of the Dragon Princes.

    After a moment of silence, Andrew smiled calmly. "Governor McCormick, let's not beat around the bush. I think what you just said was a reminder that I've been expanding too quickly, which has made you uneasy, right?" Derek looked surprised, then let out a short laugh. "You sure don't beat around the bush. Here I was, trying to be subtle. You're right, Mr. Lloyd. I am indeed uneasy." He explained, "Gabo Creek province already has enough troublemakers. The Three Titans alone constantly exhaust me, and now there's you added to the mix. If we switched places and you were sitting in my position, how would you feel?" Andrew nodded. "I get where you're coming from. When someone below keeps expanding unchecked, the result is always the same: things spiral out of control. You're the head of this state, so naturally, that's the last thing you want. But I'll say this—you can trust me." Derek raised an eyebrow and asked, "Can you give me just one reason to trust you?" Andrew looked him i
