Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Author:Only For You Last Updated:2024-10-14 10:13:00 Andrews voice was calm, showing no sign of arrogance.

Meanwhile, the scarred man and his thugs were stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.

Ha! Did this pretty boy just tell me, Scarface, to get lost? Idiot, youve been watching too many superhero movies.

Trying to play the knight in shining armor, huh? Boss, why waste time talking? Lets just take him out! Another thug swung a steel pipe viciously at Andrews head.

Lauren sighed inwardly, thinking she would have to step in to protect this brave but foolish man.

Suddenly, she heard a piercing scream.

The thug who had attacked first was on the ground, clutching his stomach.

Somehow, Andrew had taken the steel pipe from him.

Then, in a blur of motion, Andrew swung the pipe.

A series of thuds followed as the attackers fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

Yet, no one could see how he moved as he was moving too fast.

Scarface roared in anger, leaping at Andrew with a vicious kick.

At the same time, Andrew tossed aside the now-bent pipe and, without even looking, launched a kick of his own.

Soon, Scarfaces cry could be heard, and his body curled as he flew backward, slamming into the SUV with a sickening thud.

Blood spewed from his mouth as he struggled to move.

He looked up at Andrew in terror, stuttering, Y-You… Andrew ignored him, turning back to Lauren as if nothing had happened.

Lets go, Ms.

Rhodes.

Laurens eyes were still wide with shock.

Andrew, who had seemed so gentle and refined, turned out to be incredibly fierce in a fight.

She thought someone like him was highly unlikely to be just a boy toy.

With his medical skills and fighting prowess, he was more like a hidden gem.

Lauren felt a rush of excitement at the thought that she had stumbled upon a real gem.

She smiled seductively as she started the car and drove toward South City.

Dr.

Lloyd, first you saved Cece, and now youve saved me.

I dont know how to thank you enough, Lauren said with a smile as she drove, her interest in Andrew growing by the minute.

Andrew replied politely, I really didnt do much.

But Ms.

Rhodes, you should be careful.

These men might be connected to the ones who poisoned Cece earlier.

Laurens expression hardened.

I have a pretty good idea whos behind this.

Theyll learn that the Rhodes family isnt to be trifled with, and Ill make sure they pay for this tenfold! From the back seat, Cecelia chimed in sweetly, Lauren, Dr.

Lloyd has helped us so many times.

Shouldnt we give him some kind of reward? Lauren nodded in agreement.

Youre right.

We should definitely thank Dr.

Lloyd properly.

Cecelias eyes twinkled mischievously.

Lauren, I have a suggestion.

Whats that? Well, since he didnt want our familys Black Gold Card, why dont you reward him… personally? Oh, you little brat! What are you saying? I ought to wash your mouth out with soap… Andrew felt uncomfortable listening to the sisters banter.

Laurens face flushed, but she maintained her composure as she turned to Andrew.

Dr.

Lloyd, please dont mind my sister.

She doesnt think before she speaks sometimes.

Andrew smiled awkwardly, trying to show understanding.
