Chapter 1124

Author: Only For You
Andrew said indifferently, "I was just being honest. I don't see how that counts as a joke. And besides, didn't you dress up to please Mr. McCormick's eyes?"

Chantelle, who usually stayed cool as ice, immediately felt her temper flare. "You…"

Andrew could not be bothered to deal with her. Without waiting for any announcement, he pushed open Derek's office door and swaggered in.

"Uncouth brute…" Chantelle gritted her teeth and followed behind him with a scowl.

Derek's office, just like his reputation, was simple and understated. Aside from two traditional landscape paintings and a few framed family photos, Andrew did not see a single decorative item inside.

"Mr. Lloyd, you're here—please, have a seat!" Derek stood up with a warm smile the moment Andrew walked in.

Andrew chuckled. "Mr. McCormick, you're the top official in Gabo Creek Province. If you're personally welcoming me, I might start getting a big head. You go ahead and sit—I'll manage just fine."

Derek took his sea

    Rio's head was buzzing. He could not believe that his Seven-Tailed Centipede had failed. Andrew raised his foot and slammed it into Rio's chest. With a splatter, a large gush of blood burst from Rio's mouth as he flew back a few yards, crashing hard into a flower bed. This impact finally knocked some sense into him. As he struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes bulged with rage. "Andrew, this isn't over. Just you wait…" Rio let out a miserable scream through his blood-filled mouth. He never imagined his usually foolproof poison attacks would fail. Even more unbelievable was that he, Mosby's senior apprentice—skilled in both medicine and martial arts—had been reduced to such a severely injured state. The tearing pain on his face and the burning sensation in his chest with every slight breath made Rio realize how badly he was hurt. These injuries might even leave him with permanent damage. With this thought, his murderous intent toward Andrew expanded endlessly. He secr

    Rio thought killing a small fry would be simple. It would not take him more than three minutes from start to finish. However, as the fight continued, his expression gradually changed. Andrew countered each of his moves. In fact, Andrew's strength was no weaker than Rio's. Two loud bangs echoed, and the two men exchanged another palm strike, causing Rio's legs to tremble slightly as he stumbled backward, shattering floor tiles beneath him. Feeling the burning pain in his palms, Rio's face darkened considerably. "Damn it, you're at least at semi-martial king level. I never expected you to hide your true abilities so well!" He spat at Andrew with intense hatred. That earlier casual, arrogant attitude—as if Andrew was already defeated—had completely vanished without him realizing it. Andrew replied coldly, "I never concealed anything. You were just blind." Rio scoffed. "So what if your fighting skills match mine? You'll soon witness my true killing technique." He raised his

    Jared dismissed the news casually. "Fran had talent rivaling mine even as a student, so it makes sense for her to go. As for this last person, they're probably just filling a spot." Thomas laughed coldly. "This last person is hardly a space-filler! He's personally appointed by Malcolm, who has placed virtually all his hopes on this individual!" Jared was stunned. "Dr. Goddard values him that highly? Who is he?" Thomas said flatly, "His name is Andrew Lloyd." Jared snickered. "Never heard of him. Must be a nobody." Bernard, unable to resist stirring trouble, smiled meaningfully. "Jared, this Andrew is far from a nobody! The object of your affection, Francesca—her beloved happens to be this very Andrew!" Jared's expression instantly darkened, becoming filled with gloom. "He's Fran's beloved? He's not worthy! At the Grand Medical Summit, I'll show him the gap between a nobody like him and me, Jared!"."Fran is brilliant—I believe she can distinguish between precious gem and c

    In Thomas's office at Blumedale Hospital, Bernard was not the only visitor present. Thomas's prized student, Blumedale Hospital's star doctor, Jared, was also there. "Dr. Bozzelli, I heard you had a meeting with Malcolm about bringing Francesca from Jayrodale to Blumedale Hospital?" Jared asked excitedly. Thomas set down his teacup and replied indifferently, "That's correct, but what does it have to do with you?" Jared blushed and smiled awkwardly. "Well, it doesn't really concern me much. I just thought it would be nice to see my junior, Fran, again." Bernard grinned. "Jared, even if you do see Francesca again, I doubt it will matter much. She's already spoken for. I heard you've had a crush on her since your student days. Unfortunately, even someone as exceptional as yourself couldn't compete with a scoundrel." Jared's brow immediately furrowed. "Bernard, what exactly do you mean by that?" Bernard smirked and was about to elaborate further, intending to provoke Jared. T

    Logan left with the Keller family's people, having perfectly played the role of Andrew's enforcer. However, Chantelle remained standing in place with no intention of leaving. Andrew raised an eyebrow. "Ms. Garcia, are you waiting for someone?" Chantelle's face remained expressionless. "Andrew, I want to ask you a personal question." He replied, "Go ahead." "Francesca is your romantic interest, but what about Aspen? They're both wonderful women—how will you choose?" she asked pointedly. Andrew thought for a moment and smiled. "Good question. I must admit, you've stumped me." Chantelle smirked coldly as she watched Andrew, eager to see how this dog of a man would answer. She knew that whatever his response, it would be wrong and would inevitably hurt either Francesca or Aspen. Seeing Andrew make a mistake would bring her satisfaction. But the next moment, she heard Andrew calmly say, "Fortunately, I know the perfect answer." He continued smoothly, "Only a fool would mak

    In the end, Andrew successfully obtained three rare medicinal herbs from Malcolm. Getting three at once was quite a haul, and he left feeling extremely satisfied. In exchange, he had to agree to represent Blumedale Hospital at the Grand Medical Summit. He had initially wanted to hold his ground, especially since Thomas' attitude had really irritated him. However, Malcolm's generous offering was too substantial to refuse. When combined with Francesca's persistent persuasion, Andrew had no choice but to agree. After all, he had been aiming for the Grand Medical Summit's rewards all along. He did not care about titles like "Medical Master"—he was targeting high-quality, rare medicinal herbs and various other prizes. "Mr. Lloyd, let me escort you out," Norman offered as they were leaving, his attitude now incredibly warm and attentive. Logan sneered. "Dr. Ellington, you sure change your tune quickly." Norman's face reddened as he forced a laugh. "Even Dr. Goddard now values Mr

    Chantelle asked, "Is this Grand Medical Summit really worth all this trouble for Blumedale Hospital? If I remember correctly, Blumedale Hospital has always been a regular champion at the Grand Medical Summit." Malcolm's expression grew slightly serious. "Ms. Garcia, you've earned my trust, so I won't hold anything back. In previous Grand Medical Summits, Blumedale Hospital naturally had an overwhelming advantage. After all, we are the largest hospital and most authoritative medical institution in Gabo Creek province!" He continued, "But times have changed. Mosby is extremely ambitious and has always wanted to use his medical skills to challenge institutions like ours or even dominate them. His greatest ambition is to collaborate with the Advanced Medical Institute to monopolize the entire medical market in Gabo Creek province and reap enormous profits! "For this Grand Medical Summit, Mosby is undoubtedly determined to win. Because if he becomes the final victor of the Grand Medic

    Thomas' outburst frightened Francesca and Norman, causing them to quickly compose themselves. However, remained perfectly calm. "Not acceptable? Thomas, what exactly do you find unacceptable?" Thomas spoke harshly. "This man is arrogant and shows no respect for his elders! We haven't even properly assessed his medical foundation! Giving him one of Blumedale Hospital's spots would be a complete waste!" He added, "Furthermore, the Grand Medical Summit concerns Blumedale Hospital's standing in Gabo Creek province and throughout the entire Southern Holtrien medical community! So, every participant must be the elite of the elite, the genius among geniuses! I apologize, Malcolm, but I firmly reject your suggestion!" Logan raised his hand. "I support the suggestion!" Thomas frowned. "Logan, you're not part of Blumedale Hospital, nor are you our colleague. Besides, you're still junior to us, so please don't interfere." Logan backed down reluctantly, knowing that Thomas had the sam

    Thomas nodded, showing his approval of Francesca. After all, his majority-controlled Jayrodale General Hospital would not have offered her the director position otherwise. However, he still felt some guidance was necessary, so he added, "Fran, you may join me at the Grand Medical Summit! But you need to intensify your medical training in the meantime." Francesca quickly responded, "Understood, Dr. Bozzelli!" Thomas smiled briefly before unexpectedly continuing, "Also, regarding your relationship with Mr. Lloyd here, you should exercise some restraint. In my opinion, you two aren't well-suited for each other. Of course, this is merely my personal view." He added, "You're Malcolm's star pupil, destined to make a name for yourself in the medical field! Mr. Lloyd has already left our medical community and is no longer one of our colleagues. "Therefore, my suggestion is that you should cut ties completely. This isn't just beneficial for your career path, but for your life planning
