Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 740

The elderly patients continued showering Cedric and Francesca with gratitude. In Jayrodale, the Aicker family had long earned a stellar reputation in the medical field.

When Nyla spotted Andrew walking in, her eyes lit up with excitement. "Dr. Lloyd—no, Andrew, you're here!"

Under Andrew's firm insistence, she had finally stopped addressing him so formally.

Andrew smiled. "Yeah, I'm here. How's your health? Are you feeling better?"

Nyla grinned. "Way better! I don't feel any pain at all anymore. The supplements you prescribed worked like a miracle!"

Andrew nodded. "Go grab me a chair. I'll take over for Mr. Aicker so he can rest for a bit."

Nyla waved her hands frantically. "No way! Andrew, you've already been working all day. You should be the one resting. I'll tell Mr. Aicker to take a break instead!"

Andrew shook his head. "I'm fine. Just make sure Mr. Aicker gets some rest—I'll handle the remaining patients so we can close up soon."

Seeing that Andrew would not take no for an answer, Nyla reluctantly agreed. "Alright then!"

She quickly brought over a chair and let Andrew sit down.

Andrew glanced at the 20 or so patients still waiting and smiled. "Alright, everyone, gather around. I'm Dr. Andrew Lloyd, the head of Moonlit Apothecary."

A wave of surprise spread through the crowd. They had not expected to meet the owner of Moonlit Apothecary in person. However, as soon as they saw how young Andrew was, their expressions turned hesitant. Some even exchanged doubtful glances, wondering if he was actually skilled enough to treat them.

Andrew could easily read their concerns. It was common knowledge that older doctors, with their years of experience, were naturally more trusted. Meanwhile, young doctors were often seen as inexperienced, still needing time to refine their skills.
