Chapter 385
The next morning, Andrew woke up in his luxurious bed at the Moonlit Sanctuary and noticed. several missed calls on his phone. When he called back, Dylan’s voice came through, weak but filled with excitement.
“Mr. Lloyd, we succeeded!” Dylan exclaimed.
Andrew remained surprisingly calm and replied with a smile, “Well then, congratulations, Dylan.”
“No, Mr. Lloyd, you deserve the most credit,” Dylan said. “These results are all thanks to you.”
Andrew responded, “It still depended on your team’s performance. The Blood Surge Pill hast quite an intense aftereffect. Rest up and recover well. When you’re back on your feet, South City will be ready for its rise.”
“Understood, Mr. Lloyd!” Dylan laughed respectfully before hanging up.
After some thought, Andrew tried calling Natasha, but her phone was turned off. He tried another number with the same result.
“Interesting,” Andrew smiled casually as he set his phone aside and went to freshen up.
While it was normal for a crime lord’s phone to be off occasionally, the timing of Natasha’s disconnection right after taking down Atlas seemed suspicious, especially cutting contact with,
him.
Andrew understood what game the widow was playing, and he hoped her scheming nature would not be her downfall.
After breakfast at home, Andrew arrived at Jayrodale General Hospital for work, where he ran into a cheerful Francesca at the entrance.
“Andrew!” the petite beauty called out happily as she approached him.
Though Francesca was only around 5’3“, anyone who did not consider her stunning would have to be blind. She had an incredible figure paired with an angelic face that turned heads wherever she went.
“Fran, you’re in good spirits today,” Andrew smiled.
Francesca said excitedly, “After our talk last night, I went back to the Aickers and told Simon everything about us. He took it hard at first but eventually calmed down and even wished us happiness!”
Andrew frowned slightly at this news, as it did not match Simon’s character to–be so gracious.
“It’s such a relief to finally break free,” Francesca continued happily. “We grew up together as
senior–junior, and he always looked after me as his junior. I never wanted things to get ugly between us and split up the Aickers, but now he’s finally let go of his obsession.”

“Congratulations, Fran!” Andrew smiled, seeing her genuine relief and joy. “You know what they say–persistence pays off. If he had kept pursuing you, who knows what might have happened?”
“That’s not true at all!” Francesca protested with a cute pout. “He was never… never the one in my heart!”
