Chapter 684 

Aspen gave a satisfied nod. That’s the spirit. That’s the Christie I know. Don’t worry. With me by your side, Stevens Corporation will rise stronger than ever.” 

Christina forced a weak smile. Yeahat this point, the only way I can reclaim my dignity is through my career. I’ll make Andrew see that I’m not a quitter. I’ll catch up to himand surpass him.” 

Aspen’s eyes gleamed with a cold, twisted amusement. In her mind, Andrew was probably already rotting six feet under, completely unaware of the foolish Christina’s selfpity

Still, she could tell that Andrew’s brutal truth had shattered Christina’s confidence. Well, killing Andrew had at least served the purpose of giving Christina a sense of closure

Meanwhile, Andrew had no idea that Christina was drowning in regret and disbelief, teetering on the edge of an emotional breakdown. Then again, why would he care? To him, whether Christina’s wellbeing was none of his concern anymore

He strolled into the Moonlit Apothecary, a bag of herbs swinging from his hand. He asked casually, Nyla, how are you feeling?” 

To his surprise, Lauren was already there, sitting beside Nyla with a concerned expression

Dr. Lloyd, I’m feeling much better now,Nyla replied with a smile. Her complexion looked noticeably healthier than before

Lauren walked up to Andrew, her eyes filled with curiosity. Dr. Lloyd, Fran told me you stormed out earlier. You didn’t go after Gordon, did you?” 

Andrew let out a cold snort. There’s no more Gordon. He’s gonefor good.” 

His words stunned the three women into silence. Lauren, Nyla, and Francesca exchanged nervous glances

Andrewdid you kill Gordon? That hunchbacked freak?Francesca asked, her voice tight with apprehension

Andrew noticed the worry on their faces. Lauren seemed calm enough, but Nyla and Francesca were visibly unsettled

He decided to ease their minds, saying with a casual shrug, No, I didn’t do it myself. I just sent Dylan and Natasha to handle it. Gordon was a dangerous lunatic, so we had him run out of Jayrodale. He won’t be coming back.” 

Lauren nodded with relief. That’s good. As long as he was still around, we were always going to be at risk.” 

Francesca exhaled heavily, clutching her chest as if trying to steady her heartbeat. Andrew, you scared me half to death. For a second, I thought you’d actually killed him. If that were the case, we’d be in big trouble with the BridgefieldsStevens family.” 

Andrew smirked to himself. Even if they were, he was not afraid of Bridgefields or any family that tried to stand in his way. As for Gordon, the man was as dead as dead could bethere was no question about it

He shifted the bag of herbs in his hand and smiled at the three women. Lauren, Fran, you two keep Nyla company for a bit. I’ll go make her some medicine.” 

Lauren beamed. Of course, Dr. Lloyd. Thanks for taking care of her!” 

Nyla flushed with embarrassment. Dr. Lloyd, II can take care of myself. I shouldn’t be troubling you with this.”

Andrew shook his head. Nyla, if you’re going to help out here at the Moonlit Apothecary, you should stop calling me Dr. Lloyd. Just call me Andrew or Andy. Dr. Lloyd sounds way too formal.” 

Nyla hesitated. Butif Ms. Rhodes can call you Dr. Lloyd, why can’t I?” 

Lauren’s eyes sparkled with amusement as she gave Nyla a teasing grin. Oh, silly girl. That’s because Andrew and I are a couple. I have special privileges, obviously.” 

Francesca scoffed and crossed her arms. Andrew, go make he medicine already. Lauren, quit rubbing it in- you’re going to make Nyla feel awkward.” 

Lauren turned to her with a playful smirk. Aw, Franare you jealous again?” 

I’m not jealous,Francesca muttered

You totally are.‘ 

I’m not!” 

Andrew knew where this was headed. The playful bickering between Lauren and Francesca was only going to get louder. Without a word, he turned and hurried into the backroom, welcoming the momentary peace

As soon as he lit the stove and set the herbs aside, his phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out and froze it was the foolish woman, Christina

Even though they still had each other’s numbers saved, neither had called the other in ages
