Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

'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 expecting mothers.

"That would just tarnish the honor of being a doctor, and I'm Andrew, I won't do that! However, just because I won't touch you doesn't mean my friends won't..."

At that moment, outside the main entrance, Logan and a whole crew from the Keller family had arrived!!

Chantelle gasped, "Andrew, you called the Kellers too?"

Derek's worst nightmare was unfolding right before his eyes!

Andrew's face was a mask of indifference, he did not even spare her a glance.

He calmly addressed the approaching Logan, "There's a piece of trash here. Take care of it, will you?"

With that, he pointed straight at Daniel.

Logan was all smiles, not even bothering to ask why. He did not need to.

Andrew had given the order without a 'please,' but to Logan, it made perfect sense.

He strolled up to Daniel, ignoring the shock that flashed across his face.

Logan's hand flew out, and with a single slap, Daniel was seeing stars, blood gushing from his mouth and nose.noveldrama

"Mr. Keller, you..."

Daniel knew who he was dealing with the head of the Keller family, the most powerful of the Five Apex Families.

Clutching his bleeding face, he let out a roar of disbelief!

Logan gave Andrew a wry smile and said, "We're in the hospital, and let's be real, hitting a doctor here is a bit of a problem for me!

"Plus, we've got some old bigwigs staying here lately! If they catch wind of this, they'll stir up trouble for my Keller family again!"

His words were laced with feigned difficulty, but Logan's actions spoke volumes.

Two more brutal slaps landed on Daniel's face and head!

In a flash, Daniel was sent sprawling, his face grotesquely twisted!

He lay on the ground, screaming in torment, but he did not dare lash out.

"If my sworn brother tells you to do something, you do it-no questions asked. Even if it means your life! You might think my Keller family is just throwing its weight around, but guess what?

"I've got the power, and I'm not afraid to use it to crush you! So, you'll just have to grin and

no

matter how much it hurtst

Logan watched Daniel writhing on the floor without a hint of sympathy.

Like a judge passing a sentence, he declared Daniel's doom.

Silence fell over the vast hospital lobby.

Some were silent out of fear, intimidated by the immense power of the Keller family of Blumedale.

However, for most onlookers, the

real shocker was Andrew's ability to summon Logan, which left them feeling like they were choking under an intense wave of awe and pressure!

Getting Chantelle to show up was no small feat already!

Then, the heir to the mighty Keller family was acting like Andrew's personal muscle!

Was Andrew some kind of hidden royalty?

While he could not personally rough up the doctor, he called in the Keller family's

heavy hitters to do the dirty work!

The hospital staff was at a total loss on how to handle him.
