Logan left with the Keller familyโs people, having perfectly played the role of Andrewโs enforcer. However, Chantelle remained standing in place with no intention of leaving.
Andrew raised an eyebrow. โMs. Garcia, are you waiting for someone?โ
Chantelleโs face remained expressionless. โAndrew, I want to ask you a personal question.โ
He replied, โGo ahead.โ
โFrancesca is your romantic interest, but what about Aspen? Theyโre both wonderful womenโhow will you choose?โ she asked pointedly.
Andrew thought for a moment and smiled. โGood question, I must admit, youโve stumped me.โ
Chantelle smirked coldly as she watched Andrew, eager to see how this dog of a man would answer.
She knew that whatever his response, it would be wrong and would inevitably hurt either Francesca or Aspen.
Seeing Andrew make a mistake would bring her satisfaction. But the next moment, she heard Andrew calmly say, โ Fortunately, I know the perfect answer.โ
He continued smoothly, โOnly a fool would make a choice. As for me, Iโll take both and make everyone happy. Wouldnโt that be wonderful?โ
Chantelle stared in disbelief as Andrew walked away. She called after him incredulously, โBoth of them? Have you no shame? You jerk! Arenโt you afraid your health will give out?โ
Not choosing one or the other, but claiming both was ridiculous. Honestly, Andrewโs answer completely exceeded her expectations.
Inside Blumedale Hospital, Norman returned to his office. Daniel had been waiting there, grinding his teeth in anger. โIs that bastard Andrew gone? Damn him for picking on meโIโll skin him alive!โ
Norman had barely sat down before immediately standing up again, delivering two quick slaps across Danielโs face.
Daniel was stunned, his face a picture of misery. โUncle Norman, why are you hitting me? Shouldnโt Andrew be the one getting slapped?โ
Norman growled, โShut up, you animal. This is a hospital, donโt call me uncle. I donโt have a nephew like you! And starting now, listen carefully: your position is terminated. Pack your things and leave Blumedale Hospital immediately!โ
Daniel looked at him in disbelief. โDr. Ellington, what are you saying?โ
Norman said grimly, โIโm saying get out of Blumedale Hospital right nowโyouโre fired!โ
Daniel staggered backward, nearly falling. โUncle Norman, whatโs wrong with you? Iโm your nephewโweโre family! How can you do this to me?โ
Norman grabbed him by the collar, his expression fierce. โListen up, you little runt. Itโs precisely because Iโm your uncle that Iโm letting you off easily! Andrew has his eye on you now. If you donโt leave and this reaches the directorโs levelโฆ
โThen losing your job will be the least of your problems. With Malcolmโs temperament, you could be blacklisted from the entire Industry!โ
Danielโs face drained of color as he struggled to accept this. โWhy are you so afraid of him? What power does he have? Youโre a department head at Blumedale Hospital!โ
Looking at the collapsing Daniel, who had broken into sobs, Norman shook his head, his face expressionless. โYou donโt need to know the details. All you need to understand is that neither you nor I can afford to cross Andrew. By the way, heโs about to represent our Blumedale Hospital at the Grand Medical Summit!โ
โI think you should realize what a tremendous honor that is, and donโt blame anyone but yourself. What you did, just as Andrew pointed out, violated medical ethics! If someone else had exposed you, I might have been able to cover for you and protect you.
โHowever, Andrew isnโt an ordinary person. If I indulge you and show favoritism, then Iโd likely be kicked out of my position as department head too!โ
Danielโs face turned ashen, his mind buzzing when he heard Andrew representing Blumedale Hospital at the Grand Medical Summit.
This was something he could not even dare to imagine. After all, such an honor was reserved only for those few doctors selected from among the thousands at Blumedale Hospitalโthe absolute best of the best.
He had originally thought he would escape trouble and was just waiting until he secured a minor leadership position before dealing with Andrew.
But now, all his plans had collapsed like a house of cards, and even his own uncle, the department head, was terrified.
As a mere doctor, he stood no chance.
