    She mocked, You didnt even bot greet me first? Youre so unsophisticated.


    Despite her annoyance, she slid an elegant box across the table to Andrew.


    He opened it, confirming the presence of a twisted root nestled on silk, then stood to leave.


    to Wait, Francesca called out.


    Youve got what you wanted.


    When are you going to treat me ? Andrew replied frankly, Just set a time.


    But I should warn you about the treatment.


    Ill need to lift your dress.


    Francesca froze.


    Lift my dress? What do you mean? Andrew exined calmly, Your condition isnt ordinary.


    Its more severe, which Im sure youre aware of


    Francescas face flushed as she realized the implications, and anger


    her gaze a mix of embarrassment Ignoring her reaction, Andrew continued, To ensure aplete cure,


    Ill need to perform a minimally invasive procedure on the ... affected area.


    Understand? Francesca gritted her teeth.


    Thats hardly appropriate between a man and a woman, dont you think? Andrew frowned.


    To a medical practitioner, theres no distinction between male and female patients.


    Youre a doctor yourself.


    How can you not understand this ? Francesca was speechless, but the thought of Andrew touching her, especially in such a sensitive area, was ufortable.


    Andrews expression softened slightly.
