---- Chapter 3298 When Tiana and Victoria saw Andrew, they were overwhelmed with joy and burst into tears. Two years ago, they knew something terrible had happened to him. Now that he had returned safe and sound, no one was happier than they were. Tiana did not hold back at all and hugged Andrew tightly,ughing and crying at the same time. Andrew blushed slightly and said, "Mrs. Rhodes, that''s enough. Have a seat first." Tiana''s beautiful face showed no concem as she huffed, ''What are you afraid of?


    I like you, so what''s wrong with a hug?" Jameson''s face darkened, "You like anyone who''s young and handsome. Listen, Tiana, Andy''s not just anybody now, so show some restraint." Tiana sneered, but she still went back and sat down. Andrew looked at Victoria, and she looked back at him with a gentle smile on her face. Ever since her energy core was shattered, her mindset had undergone some changes. Andrew could sense that the once-proud Victoria was now much quieter, and her eyes had lost much of their brightness. Although when she saw him, she still tried to force out a smile.


    ---- "I have some good news to tell you. I can help restore your energy core now. Or rather, I can forcibly open your twin core meridians and bring your martial arts back," Andrew said with a smile. Victoria''s delicate body trembled with overwhelming excitement, but she was also somewhat fearful as she replied in a shaky voice, "Andrew, is it... is it really true?" Andrew nodded with a smile. "Yes. With my current strength, restoring you is effortless. Come on, let''s go to the meditation room. You''ll soon experience your martial arts returning." Tiana eximed with great joy, "Sure!


    Let''s go! Andy, I really didn''t dote on you for nothing." Andrew replied solemnly, "I have never forgotten the help you gave me back then." Victoria''s eyes reddened, but she held back from crying. She just looked at Andrew with tears in her eyes and nodded hard. Soon, the two entered the meditation room, and Andrew said, * You might experience some pain, but you''ll need to endure it. Victoria repeatedly mumbled, "It''s fine... It''s fine.


    I can handle it." Andrew hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile, "Also, I''ll need to touch sensitive parts of your body." ---- Victoria''s face flushed as she shot him a nce, her expression full of charm. "What are you being shy about? It''s not like you haven''t touched them before!" Andrew cleared his throat. These women really were bold by nature. Out of nowhere, Luna''s mother, Bridget, shed through his mind. It seemed her personality was different from both Tiana''s and Victoria''s. Pushing aside the distraction, Andrew''s true force began to surge from his palms.


    To prevent Victoria''s delicate body from being overwhelmed, he slowly pressed his palm against her, cing it on her soft waist and abdomen. The waist and abdomen served as the connection between the upper and lower energy cores, and from here, Andrew could use his absolute strength to help Victoria open her twin core meridians. Gradually, Victoria felt a scorching heat that steadily intensified, Under her thin clothes, sweat began to form, soaking her skin. Sweat beaded on her nose and forehead as well. Yet, none of itpared to the strange tingling deep in her chest.


    For a long time, she had been subconsciously avoiding Andrew. Especially after he left Gabo Creek and came to Chetvine, when ---- she and Tiana had gone to see him. During that time, her feelings toward Andrew had changed dramatically. Encouraged by Tiana to stop holding herself back, she had almost given in several times. She had once wanted to throw caution to the wind and let something happen between them. This younger man was no longer someone she saw as Reginald. He had his own unique charm, loyal and emotional, and treated her with meticulous care.


    Most of all, being with him made her feel rxed and restless at the same time. It was like a spark of fire that awakened and ignited the heart she had kept dormant for so many years. @
