Andrew looked completely innocent as he said, “It’s not like I wanted this to happen! I just wanted to make things easier for Mr. Aicker so he wouldn’t have to work so hard!”

Francesca let out a huff, flashing her sharp little canine teeth as she smirked. “At this rate, the people of Jayrodale are going to think you’re the only doctor around! They’ll forget that my grandfather is Cedric Aicker!”

Cedric scoffed, giving her a sharp look. “What nonsense are you spouting? Do you really think I care about fame and status? Dr. Lloyd’s medical skills are far beyond mine. If patients trust him more, that’s because he earned it fair and square.”

Francesca secretly stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes at Andrew. She was just talking big–deep down, she was actually proud of him.

Andrew chuckled. “Mr. Aicker, Fran, come sit down. There’s something I want to discuss with the Aicker family.”

Then, he turned to Nyla and said, “Nyla, could you bring us some tea?”

Nyla grinned. “Got it! You guys talk, I’ll go make some tea!”

Cedric and Francesca sat down, both looking at Andrew with curiosity.

“Andrew, are you thinking about some kind of business deal with the Aicker family?” Francesca asked, trying to guess his intentions.

Andrew nodded with a smile. “Sharp as ever, Fran! You got it!”

Cedric let out an awkward cough, looking a little uncomfortable. “Dr. Lloyd, don’t tell me you’re about to make the Aicker family rich again? If it’s another golden opportunity, then I’ll shamelessly grab it! I’d do anything to set aside a nice wedding gift for Fran!”

Francesca snorted, shooting him a teasing glare. “Ha! Yeah right! Just admit it, Grandpa–you just want the money for yourself! Don’t use my wedding gift as an excuse!”

Cedric’s face turned red from embarrassment as he huffed, “Nonsense! At my age, money means nothing to me! I’m only doing this for you! Everything I earn will be yours one day, anyway!”

Francesca crossed her arms and huffed, though her cheeks were still a little pink as she stole a glance at Andrew.

Andrew had grown even more impressive lately. This was not the first time he had brought wealth to the Aicker family, and she could not shake the feeling that she owed him too much. She did not like feeling as though she was beneath him.

Andrew leaned forward. “Here’s the deal–I’ve developed two groundbreaking medications. Glorious Pharmaceuticals is set to produce them, and they’ll be hitting the market soon.

“Originally, I designed these for Rhodes Corporation’s Pharmaceutical Division, but I don’t fully trust them. So I want to distribute some of the supply through your family’s network as well.”

Cedric’s expression shifted as he took a sharp breath. “Dr. Lloyd, you actually developed miracle drugs? Could I take a look at the formulas?”

Andrew did not hesitate. He smiled and handed over the documents, not intending to hide anything.

Curious, Francesca leaned in to read as well. “A Vitality Pill and a Titan Essence Pill. One strengthens the body’s energy and boosts overall health…”

Her eyes suddenly widened, and her face turned red. “Wait, this Titan Essence Pill is for… male enhancement? Andrew, what the hell? Why did you even create something like this?”

Andrew chuckled. “The Titan Essence Pill isn’t just about that. Keep reading.”

Cedric’s eyes practically sparkled as he examined the formulas, clearly thrilled. “Incredible! Simply incredible! Dr. Lloyd, these two formulas are worth a fortune! Especially the Titan Essence Pill, which is designed to enhance vitality, strengthen the kidneys, and replenish energy. This is exactly what modern people need!”

Francesca forgot about being embarrassed and nodded in agreement. “Even though I’m still far from being able to develop my own formulas, I can already tell how powerful these are. Andrew, these medicines are beyond anything modern science can achieve!”
