Author: Only For You
"You trying to get me whacked? Hey, I'm asking you, are you trying to get me killed here? I thought I was gonna make some easy cash with you, what's this mess you've got us into?"

As he ranted, Sergey plastered on a fake grin for the security guards walking up, looking like he had just seen a ghost.

"Hey there, fellas, no worries, we're just here to check things out! Time to go, we're heading out!"

The two guards eyed them with suspicion, and one of them snorted, "With those get-ups, you two are just street-level punks, right? Out with it, what's your game at The Sovereign Residences? Are you here to swipe something?"

Sergey, nearly out of his mind with fear, scrambled to explain, "No way, that's not what we're here for, honest!

"We were just walking by, stealing stuff? Come on, this is the fanciest part of town. We wouldn't dare pull anything here!"

A security guard swung hard, landing two solid slaps that sent Sergey, towering at six-foot-two and tipping the scales at over 600

    In the midst of an uncanny hush, the nurse, pale as a ghost with fear, snapped out of it first."How… how can you guys just hit someone? Dr. Charlton… he's one of Mr. Ellington's people, you guys are in deep trouble now!"She said to Andrew, her voice barely above a whisper.Daniel, somehow finding a burst of energy, scrambled to his feet.He shot Andrew a poisonous look and let out a furious roar before running off, hand clutched to his bleeding face, towards the hospital!Chantelle rubbed her temples. "He's probably off to find his big shot backer. Mr. Lloyd, if this keeps up, we're only going to get in deeper."Andrew replied calmly, "Then let's brace ourselves for an even wilder storm!"Chantelle was speechless.She had told him to take the win and get out of dodge, but he was actually gearing up for a bigger showdown!Logan, never one to shy away from a fight, laughed in his face. "You've got guts—I'm impressed!"The crowd around them? They were all secretly buzzing with

    'So you're stronger than me, so what? If you can't touch my turf, it's all for nothing!' Daniel thought.Chantelle shot Andrew a look and said with annoyance, "Come on, Mr. Lloyd, I'll go with you to see Mr. Goddard. You can't expect everything to always go your way, can you?"Andrew replied calmly, "Actually, you're spot on. Today, I need things to go exactly my way. So, this doctor, he's got to go!"Hmm?Chantelle's face turned stormy, Andrew was being utterly ungrateful!Daniel's smirk was icy, his eyes dripping with scorn, and he was visibly seething!"Fine, Mr. Lloyd, you want to play hardball, huh? I'm right here, let's see what you've got! Go ahead, get Ms. Garcia to kick me out. My whole family would thank you for generations. Come on, I'm giving you a shot, but do you have what it takes? Are you up for it?"Andrew's gaze was steady and calm. "We're in a hospital, and you're dressed as a doctor, remember? I won't stoop to violence in front of these kids, patients, and

    Daniel felt a chill run down his spine, mopping his brow as he asked, "Mr. Lloyd, is something wrong?"Internally, he was fuming, 'Dude, don't try to push your luck.'Andrew's face was a mask of stone as he said, "Just resign, take a good look at yourself, and then take a hike! I used to be in the medical field, and I can tell you, your attitude doesn't cut it for a doctor!"Daniel's face went white with rage, and he spat out, "Mr. Lloyd, you're crossing the line! I was being nice because of Ms. Garcia! However, if you're seriously telling me to quit my job, let me be blunt—you're being laughable!"He was on the verge of a big promotion, quitting now would be insane, right?Chantelle was frowning too!Andrew's request to see Mr. Goddard was already sorted, so what was the point of that drama?Was it fun to pick fights with a low-level doctor?Andrew's frown deepened as he reiterated, "Let me make myself clear, Dr. Charlton, your behavior is downright shameful! Being in the hosp

    Andrew pocketed his phone in the bustling lobby of the hospital.Chantelle might be icy and bossy, but when Andrew stepped up his game, she did not stand a chance against him!A bewildered young nurse muttered, "Who is this guy? He even dropped the governor's name. Did he actually call the governor?"Daniel, arms crossed, could not help but snort at the thought.Those nurses were not exactly sharp. He figured it was not worth explaining."Kid, you're laying it on thick. You're not seriously going to tell me you just dialed up the governor's office, are you?"He was not buying it, and neither were the patients milling around.Meeting a top-notch professor or the dean there was like winning the lottery, let alone getting a call through to the governor!Daniel scoffed, "What a joke, who does he think the governor is? He's the boss of Gabo Creek! If it were that easy to meet the big cheese, then why would you be here making a fool of yourself?"In his eyes, the dean was the king o

    "Dr. Charlton here at the hospital has a big shot backing him up. Honestly, stirring up trouble over this won't do you any good, no benefits at all." "Better to keep your head down and keep the peace. We ordinary people just want a quiet life!" Andrew listened to the well-meaning advice from one patient after another. He looked around: mothers clutching their children, elderly folks braving the sea of people at the hospital just to find a bed, and coal miners with simple, honest faces and brawny arms. Maybe they were hurt or had a family emergency. Their hard-earned daily wage of five or six hundred, all gone because of a hospital visit! Andrew took a deep breath, and his gaze turned fierce. He stared down Daniel, the smirking doctor, and said with a steely voice, "Getting medical care is hard, it's costly, and on top of that, we have to deal with the likes of you ruining our mood…"You've made the hospital a place more terrifying than a prison for ordinary people! All these p

    The young nurse, sweet and concerned, overheard the exchange. Her face went pale, and she tugged at Daniel's sleeve. "Dr. Charlton, we shouldn't say things like that. Let's just drop it, okay?""I'll handle this," she said, trying to smooth things over.However, Daniel just huffed, flung his sleeve back, and ignored her. He glared at Andrew with pure disdain. "I've seen plenty of lowlifes like you. You think because you're poor and sick, you can cause a scene at the hospital and get sympathy. "Well, think again. This isn't the place for your kind to throw a tantrum. Scram, or I'll have security toss you out on your ear!" Andrew's expression chilled. "I've been trying to talk sense into you, but you're not having any of it. So now you're stooping to personal attacks and threats, huh?" Daniel let out a mocking laugh. "Oh, what's wrong? Can't handle it?"Let's cut to the chase—I want you gone, and what are you gonna do about it? I'm the top doctor at Blumedale Hospital, and just

    Daniel did not even pause to think. "Sorry, buddy, our dean's booked solid! If you're here for medical advice or whatever, Mr. Goddard's tied up for the next six months!"Andrew cracked a sly grin. "Busy man, huh? Booked for half a year?"Daniel scowled, not liking Andrew's grin one bit.Like he had done with some old guy earlier, he shooed Andrew with a flick of his wrist. "Scram, it's not like just anyone can see Mr. Goddard! If we let every Tom, Dick, and Harry in, Mr. Goddard would be run ragged, wouldn't he?"Andrew chuckled. "So what you're saying is, us regular Joes can't even get a meeting with Mr. Goddard now?"Daniel pushed up his glasses with a warning edge to his voice, "Sir, if you're here for a doctor's visit, then do the right thing and go sign in and wait your turn! And if you're not, stop making a scene, will you?"He had sent that old lady on her way with just a few words before!This kid, he was right there, saw the whole thing.Daniel thought, 'You know what

    Andrew stepped out at the entrance of Mercy Hospital.He strode to the reception, ready to book a meet-up with Malcolm.An old-timer with a cane was ahead of him, begging a nurse, "Please, doctor, I've been on hold for over two months. When's my number up? When's Mr. Goddard gonna slice me open?"The nurse looked all kinds of uncomfortable. "Granny, Mr. Goddard and the big-shot professors are busy! Maybe try booking with another doctor?"The old man was shaking like a leaf, pleading, "I wouldn't bug the bigwigs if I had a choice, but only the dean and the profs can handle my op. Please, doctor, I'm begging you…"He did not get to finish. A towering doctor, Daniel Charlton, with a frosty mug walked up.The nurse piped up quickly, "Dr. Charlton, you're here!"Daniel was all ice, "Yeah, what's the deal?"The nurse gestured towards the elderly woman standing before Andrew. "This old woman had an appointment for Mr. Goddard's surgery, but she's still not on the list!"Daniel glance

    "Don't worry, you'll be kicking yourself for not taking me seriously soon enough!"Andrew rolled his eyes. "So, are we doing this or what, you eyesore? If you're not up for it, I'm out. Got bigger fish to fry!"The grin on Carl's face slowly disappeared, and his eyes squinted in warning, "Listen, kid, don't get too cocky! I'm usually a chill guy! You can diss my healing hands or say I can't throw a punch to save my life! "However, if there's one thing off-limits, it's dissing my looks! I'm telling you, I'm as dashing as Henry Cavill himself! Your snide remarks? They cut deep, man."Andrew could not help but laugh, giving Mosby's ace another once-over."You're comparing yourself to Henry Cavill?" Andrew quizzed him.Carl arched an eyebrow, "You don't agree?"Andrew shook his head, "Dude, saying you look like Napoleon Bonaparte is giving you way too much credit. I'm about to drop a truth bomb, and it ain't gonna be music to your ears!"If I were your dad, I would've shoved you r
