Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1216

Barely two minutes had passed, but every single one of Genesis Dispensary's enforcers lay sprawled on the ground—some unconscious, some writhing in pain, and some not even moving.

Janice clutched the edge of her sleeve, her face pale as a sheet. She stared at Andrew in shock, as if not recognizing this man. The Andrew she knew was gentle, refined, eloquent—someone who had won her grandfather's respect the moment they met, a miracle doctor with endless skill.

However, the Andrew standing before her now was the complete opposite—ruthless, cold-blooded, and surrounded by a sea of blood from the beatings he had just handed out.

Old Hayface's legs trembled as he stared at Andrew like he had seen a ghost, thinking this was beyond insane.

Clutching his groin with shaking hands, he shrieked in pain. "Stop! Dr. Lloyd, please! Let's talk this out! I-It was all a misunderstanding!"

The pitiful scream and groveling were almost too much to believe. This was the Genesis Dispensary's head manager—the great apprentice of Mosby himself. The guy who usually acted like royalty whenever patients came by was now reduced to a sobbing mess on the ground.

Where was all that arrogance now? Where was that smug, superior air?

Andrew looked down at him with icy detachment. "Let me ask again—was it you who hit Ronan?"
