Chapter 225ย Nyla added, โAlso, my grandfather has a medical book heโs having trouble understanding, and heโd love for you to help him with it.โย Andrew smiled warmly. โOf course. If I have the time, Iโll be happy to visit him.โย Her pale cheeks flushed as two adorable dimples appeared, and she practically skipped away, beaming with excitement.ย Christina sat to the side, watching the exchange with a bitter feeling. โAndrew, that nurse is from Jayrodaleโs Goth family, isnโt she?โย Andrew glanced at her, puzzled. โIโm not really sure about her background.โย Christina let out a bitter laugh. โCome on, stop pretending. Itโs written all over her face. Sheโs one step away from throwing herself at you.โย She continued, โEver since you left me, your luck with women has skyrocketed. First, there was Ms. Rhodes, then Ms. Aicker, and now this little nurse. Andrew, maybe leaving me was the best decision you ever made.โย Andrewโs expression stayed calm as he met her eyes. โWhatโs your point in bringing this up? And letโs not twist the story, I didnโt leave youโyou and your ambitions pushed me away. I was nothing more than an inconvenience to you, someone you kicked aside without hesitation. You havenโt forgotten that, have you, Ms. Stevens?โย Her face flushed red, her pale lips trembling as she tried to respond. โYโYou know thatโs not what I meant.โย Andrewโs voice turned colder. โWhatever you meant doesnโt matter to me anymore.โย His bluntness and icy demeanor left Christina feeling a wave of sadness and helplessness. Tears welled up in her eyes as she bit her lip, trying to keep her composure.ย With a shaky voice, she asked, โIf you donโt care about me anymore, then why are you even here? Are you here to gloat? To laugh at my mom and brother after they were nearly beaten to death? Are you here to mock me for being such a blind, foolish woman?โย The fear, humiliation, regret, and exhaustion she had bottled up since last night finially erupted, spilling out in her words and tears.ย Andrewโs expression faltered slightly as he looked at her. He had never seen Christina cry like this before.ย The Christina he knew was strong, stubborn, and fiercely independentโsomeone who never let her pride crack in front of others.ย But now, she sat curled up on the bed, clutching herself tightly as her body shook with quiet sobs. He knew that for her to break down like this, her walls must have completely crumbled.ย Chapter 225ย Francesca stepped in at that moment, glancing at Christina with a mix of concern andย annoyance. โDr. Lloyd, why donโt you take Ms. Stevens out for some fresh air? She hasnโt slept or eaten anything since last night. If she keeps this up, her body wonโt hold up much longer.โย Christina wiped her tears with trembling fingers her voice firm despite her tiredness. โThank you for your concern, Dr. Aicker, but Iโm fine.โย Andrewโs tone was cold as he retorted, โDo you honestly think you know your condition better than a doctor? Come with me.โย Before Christina could protest further, Andrew grabbed her hand and pulled her toward his office. She struggled a few times, but when she caught his sharp, intimidating gaze, she stopped resisting.ย Andrew was no longer the accommodating, gentle man she remembered. Now, he was unyielding and, at times, even harsh.ย Yet, despite his domineering demeanor, Christina did not feel anger or resentment. If anything, his commanding presence sent a nervous flutter through her heart each time.ย Meanwhile, back in the intensive care unit.ย No sooner after Andrew and Christina left, the door swung open. A group of ten burly bodyguards, all wearing sunglasses, filed in, escorting none other than Harvey himself.ย
