Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 225 Nyla added , Also , my grandfather has a medical book hes having trouble understanding , and hed love for you to help him with it .

Andrew smiled warmly .

Of course .

If I have the time , Ill be happy to visit him .

Her pale cheeks flushed as two adorable dimples appeared , and she practically skipped away , beaming with excitement .

Christina sat to the side , watching the exchange with a bitter feeling .

Andrew , that nurse is from Jayrodales Goth family , isnt she ? Andrew glanced at her , puzzled .

Im not really sure about her background .

Christina let out a bitter laugh .

Come on , stop pretending .

Its written all over her face .

Shes one step away from throwing herself at you .

She continued , Ever 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 .

Andrews expression stayed calm as he met her eyes .

Whats your point in bringing this up ? And lets not twist the story , I didnt leave you you and your ambitions pushed me away .

I was nothing more than an inconvenience to you , someone you kicked aside without hesitation .

You havent forgotten that , have you , Ms.

Stevens ? Her face flushed red , her pale lips trembling as she tried to respond .

Y You know thats not what I meant .

Andrews voice turned colder .

Whatever you meant doesnt matter to me anymore .

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 .

With a shaky voice , she asked , If you dont 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 ? The fear , humiliation , regret , and exhaustion she had bottled up since last night finially erupted , spilling out in her words and tears .

Andrews expression faltered slightly as he looked at her .

He had never seen Christina cry like this before .

The Christina he knew was strong , stubborn , and fiercely independent someone who never let her pride crack in front of others .

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 .

Chapter 225 Francesca stepped in at that moment , glancing at Christina with a mix of concern and annoyance .

Dr.

Lloyd , why dont you take Ms.

Stevens out for some fresh air ? She hasnt slept or eaten anything since last night .

If she keeps this up , her body wont hold up much longer .

Christina wiped her tears with trembling fingers her voice firm despite her tiredness .

Thank you for your concern , Dr.

Aicker , but Im fine .

Andrews tone was cold as he retorted , Do you honestly think you know your condition better than a doctor ? Come with me .

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 .

Andrew was no longer the accommodating , gentle man she remembered .

Now , he was unyielding and , at times , even harsh .

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 .

Meanwhile , back in the intensive care unit .

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 .
