For now , he would stay away from Aspen , though the grudge he held burned deeply .

After the last guest left , Andrew , Lauren , and Francesca turned and stepped into the apothecary .

Francesca began showing Andrew around the various functional areas of the medical center .

Originally owned by the Weller family , the building had been one of the largest upscale clubs in Jayrodale .

It was vast and luxurious .

After its transformation into a medical center , it retained its grandeur while also becoming practical for its new purpose .

Lauren and Francesca had been thoughtful in their design , even including a private office and a rest area for Andrew .

Francesca blushed slightly , turning her head to feign indifference .

The designs , colors , and layouts were all Laurens ideas .

If anything , you should thank her properly .

Andrew chuckled .

No , I should thank both of you .

Only then did a subtle smile touch Francescas lips , though she quickly masked her joy .

I just want you to like it , same as Lauren .

Lauren studied Andrew for a moment and asked gently , D Lloyd , is something bothering you ? Andrew raised an eyebrow .

Why do you ask ? Laurens voice was calm and soothing .

You and Christina have always been entangled unfinished business between you .

But today , your attitude changed so drastically .

You told her to leave , and I imagine it must have been a difficult decision for you .

Francesca added , Andrew , Christina isnt inherently a bad person .

But after what you said today , I think any 12 Chapter 603 lingering connection between you two is likely severed .

That mustve been hard for you .

Andrew paused briefly before breaking into a smile .

No , youre both wrong .

Lauren blinked , surprised .

Wrong ? Then how do you feel , Dr.

Lloyd ? 1 Francesca also looked at him curiously .

Andrew laughed softly .

To be honest , I feel nothing at all no sadness , no regret .
