Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chaptér 403 Andrew was taken aback and said, I have no intention of interfering with the Rhodes familys marriage arrangements

I just think its unfair to force her into something she doesnt want.

Marcus smiled knowingly.

No need to explain so quickly.

I understand your feelings you want to be the hero who saves the damsel, right? But think about it: even

though youre accomplished and young as the deputy chief of Jayrodale General Hospital, the Rhodes family is in a completely different league.

Marcus continued earnestly, Your concern for Ms.

Rhodes isnt wrong, but you need to recognize the vast gap between your worlds.

Lauren is like a rare diamond, and having had her attention should be enough for a lifetime.

If you push your luck, you might end up getting seriously hurt.

Andrew could only smile wryly at Marcuss well meaning advice.

Clearly, Marcus saw him as someone trying to climb the social ladder.

While the Rhodes family had expanded to Blumedale and their prestige grew daily, Andrew was not impressed

He had seen and dealt with far more powerful dynasties, and the Rhodes were hardly intimidating His only concern was Laurens happiness and wishes.

Well, thats all I wanted to say

Remember, if you need my help with anything else, just ask, Marcus said as he stood to leave.

He added, But regarding Ms.

Rhodes, try to be realistic

Only someone from another prestigious family could be her match.

People like us will only get hurt if we reach too high.

Andrew smiled faintly and replied, I believe nothing is impossible for those who are determined.

Marcus paused, then shook his head with a knowing smile

It was clear this young man was not ready to give up, but while dreams were beautiful, reality was often cruel.

Lauren was from the Rhodes family wealthy, prestigious, and refined

Although Andrew was accomplished, he could never meet the Rhodes familys standards.

His pursuit would only lead

to humiliation and oppression from the family, After Marcus left, Andrew contemplated for a moment before deciding to call Lauren.

Dr.

Lloyd, are you missing me? Its rare for you to call first! Lauren answered with her usual fiery enthusiasm

Andrew chose his words carefully and asked, Ms Rhodes, are you facing any difficulties lately? Lauren laughed and said, Difficulties ? Please, Im the Rhodes heiress what difficulties could I have? My only problem is waiting for you to be with me.

1/2 Chapter 40 Andrew persisted, Ms.

Rhodes, Im serious

If youre in trouble, I might be able to help.

The line went quiet for a moment.

Finally, Lauren forced a laugh and said, Okay, I admit Im dealing with some minor issues. But dont worry, Dr.

Lloyd, Ill handle everything soon and see you.

Just promise youll wait for me and wont fall for anyone else, okay? Andrew was puzzled.

Are you sure you dont need my help? Lauren giggled.

Of course! If I cant handle this petty matter, then I dont deserve to be your precious girl, Dr. Lloyd! Andrew conceded.

Alright then.

Bye, Ms.

Rhodes Lauren responded with a few kisses.

When Andrew hung up after their goodbye, his frown had not eased

Just then, Francesca entered his office with an odd expression and said, Andrew, your old flame is here at the hospital.
