Chapter 604 Andrew held Laurens delicate hand tightly and said with conviction, Now, Ive found someone I truly care about.


    Everything in the past is behind me its gone for good.


    Laurens cheeks flushed red in an instant.


    With Francesca still present, she felt shy and tried to pull her hand away.


    But Andrew tightened his grip and gave a gentle tug, pulling Lauren toward him.


    Ah! Lauren eximed softly, falling into Andrews arms.


    Before she could react, he wrapped an arm around her slender waist, holding her close


    A shiver ran through Laurens body like an electric current, leaving her feeling weak and her ears burning red.


    She stammered softly, Dr.


    Lloyd, y you... dont do this.


    Fran is still here


    Let go ! Andrew chuckled.


    No, I dont want to


    Francesca, sitting nearby, felt a pang of difort as she watched the two of them so intimately close. Her heart felt hollow and uneasy.


    Yet at the same time, she couldnt help but feel a wave of embarrassment


    She noticed Andrews hand roaming slightly, exploring familiar territory on Lauren.


    Meanwhile, Laurens long legs naturally found their ce draped over Andrewsp


    The scene was undeniably intimate and electric, enough to make Francescas face turn red and her heart race uncontrobly.


    You shameless pair! Go ahead and enjoy yourselves.


    Im leaving ! Unable to bear the sight any longer, Francesca quickly stood up and hurried out of the medical center.


    Once outside, she pressed her flushed cheeks with her hands, feeling how warm they were.


    Are they really going to... in the medical center they just opened? Francesca muttered as her mind wandered to less than innocent thoughts


    Part of her wanted to turn around and sneak a peek, but she felt too embarrassed to act on it


    She also felt a slight sting of jealousy both Lauren, her closest friend, and Andrew, the man she admired


    If only ... if only they included me, Francesca thought to herself.


    Her face burned even hotter at the ridiculous notion.


    She pped her cheeks and chided herself, Francesca Aicker, are you insane? What are you even thinking? No way! Absolutely not! she muttered, shaking her head Letting Andrew have two women to himself? That would make him way too smug.


    Its not happening! At that moment, her phone rang.


    It was her grandfather, Cedric Aicker.


    Grandpa, Im still at the medical center.


    Whats up? Cedrics voice sounded unusually serious.


    Francesca,e back to the Aicker residence.


    I have something important to discuss with you


    Francesca didnt think much of it and replied, Alright, III head back now! Inside Moonlit Apothecary, Andrew satfortably on his custom wooden chair with Lauren nestled in his arms.


    The two were sharing a passionate kiss.


    Chapter 604 Dr.


    Lloyd, wait... Wheres Fran? Lauren murmured, her voice soft and breathless


    Her mind was hazy, overwhelmed by the warmth and intensity of Andrews kisses


    She felt frustrated with herself why did she always be so powerless and pliable in his presence? Andrews hand slid over Laurens smooth legs, bing bolder with every passing moment.


    Shes gone, Andrew replied with a yful smile


    After seeing us, she was too embarrassed to stay.


    As Andrews hand wandered further, brushing against forbidden territory, Laurens entire body tensed


    In that instant, the world seemed to fade light, color, and sound dimmed, leaving only a nk void. Her instincts told her to resist, to pull away, to flee.


    But her body wouldnt obey, drained of all strength as Andrews touch struck her spot.


    Dr.


    Lloyd, youre ... youre terrible! Stop it... You cant do that to me ! Lauren pleaded softly, her voice trembling like a gentle rain,ced with a faint nasal tone.
