Meanwhile, Andrew did not waste time on the South City Orphanage project. He quickly left with Mark’s driver, immediately heading toward the Thatcher residence.
“I can’t believe it. This loser suddenly has people picking him up now?” Irene muttered under her breath with obvious jealousy.
“That was Mr. Thatcher’s driver just now, wasn’t it?” Leroy pondered aloud. “And that license plate looked like Mr. Thatcher’s personal one. I wonder why they’d pick up someone like him.”
“Nonsense! Why would Mr. Thatcher’s driver come for him?” Irene scoffed dismissively. ” He’s a nobody! And let me tell you, for someone so young, your eyesight is worse than mine!”
Christina was the only one who was genuinely stunned, as she was sure that the driver was indeed Mark’s personal driver, and that luxury car was definitely Mark’s private vehicle.
She wondered if Andrew had somehow become Mark’s honored guest, though she quickly dismissed the thought as impossible, believing there must be some other explanation. Such treatment was usually reserved for elite young talents like Harvey, who came from prestigious
families.
Soon enough, Andrew arrived at the Thatcher residence, where Lauren greeted him with a radiant smile. She had guessed correctly that the miracle doctor Cedric called in was indeed. her precious man.
“Andrew, this is the mayor’s mansion,” Harvey growled with a dark expression. “What are you doing here? Leave immediately.”
The others anxiously asked Cedric, “Dr. Aicker, where’s the miracle doctor you promised us?”
“He’s right in front of you.” Cedric snorted before approaching Andrew with a warm smile. ” Dr. Lloyd, we’ve been expecting you.”
Andrew nodded and said, “Let’s not waste time. Take me to Mr. Thatcher.”
“Of course, right this way!” Cedric responded enthusiastically.
The others stood there dumbfounded.
“Dr. Aicker, is the mentor you mentioned really Andrew?” Harvey asked in disbelief.
“Yeah, Dr. Aicker, who is this guy? We’ve never heard of him. Are you sure there hasn’t been some mistake?” the others chimed in, eyeing Andrew with suspicion and distrust.
Cedric replied proudly, “Indeed, this is the miracle doctor I invited. Everyone, please keep quiet and don’t disturb my mentor while he treats Mr. Thatcher!”
The crowd gasped. They had no choice but to believe that Cedric’s acclaimed miracle doctor was this unknown young man, though some wondered if the elderly doctor had perhaps fallen for some scam.

Harvey scoffed. “Dr. Aicker, you must be mistaken. This guy is just a junior doctor at Jayrodale General Hospital, a worthless freeloader. Having him treat Mr. Thatcher would be a complete joke.”
“Dr. Aicker, please reconsider,” someone else stepped forward to advise. “Even if this young man has some medical skills, his lack of experience makes him unqualified to treat Mr. Thatcher.”
“Silence, all of you!” Cedric thundered. “You’re nothing but a bunch of useless whiners!”
He wanted to slap some sense into those who dared question his judgment, as he had witnessed Andrew’s medical expertise and could only describe him as a true master.
“Everyone, please stop arguing,” Lauren interjected firmly. “Mr. Thatcher’s condition is critical, and I guarantee on behalf of the Rhodes family that Dr. Lloyd is the only one who can treat him.”
The crowd was shocked that even Lauren showed such faith in this young doctor, leaving them uncertain and confused. Only Bernard remained silent throughout the debate, standing quietly to the side.
