Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

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 exclaimed 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 discomfort 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 .noveldrama

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

Meanwhile , Laurens long legs naturally found their place draped over Andrews lap .

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

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 slapped 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 , come back to the Aicker residence .

I have something important to discuss with you .

Francesca didnt think much of it and replied , Alright , Ill head back now ! Inside Moonlit Apothecary , Andrew sat comfortably 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 become so powerless and pliable in his presence ? Andrews hand slid over Laurens smooth legs , becoming bolder with every passing moment .

Shes gone , Andrew replied with a playful 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 blank 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 , laced with a faint nasal tone .
