Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

"You heard him. I'll send him over to apologize to you in person later. Can we put an end to this drama now?"

His voice was quieter then, and the bluster was gone.

It would not be an overstatement to say he was totally bowing down to Andrew!

Yet Andrew just shook his head, his voice icy as he said, "I don't need his apology. An apology from a doctor without morals is an insult to me! You're the director, and you think you can just brush it off as youthful ignorance?

"Heh, anyone else might have been duped by you! However, today, Mr. Ellington, you're out of luck. Because you've run into me, Andrew!"

Norman had not expected Andrew to push further and exploded, "Andrew, what do you want from me? Are you not satisfied? Do you want to hit me, the director, too?"

Andrew replied with scorn, "Sorry, but I'm a civilized person. Resorting to violence is crude, and that's not my style."

Logan looked on, his face a picture of sorrow.

What was that supposed to mean?

Was he implying that he was the uncivilized one?

"The bottom line is, Daniel has to go," Andrew insisted.

Norman's face was a mask of icy resolve. "I'm sorry, but my stance hasn't changed. You can't meddle in our hospital's business! You have no proof for the accusations you've made against Dr. Charlton. So, Mr. Lloyd, I think we've heard enough from you!"

In a flash, Andrew grabbed the registration book from the front desk and hurled it right at Norman's face.

"Looking for evidence? This book is all the evidence we need! It lists every single person who's made an appointment to see our hospital's top dogs for treatment!

"Should we track each one down and check their background? Should we confirm whether, as I've said, Daniel has been giving special treatment to the wealthy and influential, arranging meetings with the hospital's top specialists?

"And what about the regular folks, the everyday people? Did Daniel just turn a blind eye to them?"

After tracking down the old lady from earlier, Andrew led her straight to Norman and confronted him with a fierce look.

"This lady w

proof. Do you need me to

drag in a witness too?"

Norman's face turned ghostly pale, and his lips twitched, but he could not get a word out.

He shakily opened the register, but snapped it shut after a mere glimpse!

Because the register showed that Daniel had indeed taken care of those with connections!

However, he had shut the door on so many others!

That move alone could cost Daniel his job and tarnish his reputation in the field for good!

"Mr.

today, all ready to stir up

Wouble."

Norman was stumped, suspicious of Andrew's motives, and let out a mocking laugh, trying to deflect.

Andrew replied calmly, "Mr. Ellington,

not everyone operates with the same cynicism you do! I didn't need to doany homework to uncover these secrets!"

Norman bellowed, "Then how can you explain knowing our processes inside out?" Andrew pointed to his nose and announced icily, "Because I'm a doctor myself!"

Norman was speechless, looking like he had seen a ghost!

He stumbled backward, nearly losing his footing.

Ah, so he was a doctor too, one of them.

It was no wonder he could pinpoint Daniel's misdeeds so accurately!

Daniel was done for.

As for Norman, the head of this operation, it looked like he was about to take a

total nosedive in the dignity department!
