“All you do is study medicine, and you’re completely out of touch with everything else,” Francesca explained. “We’re just not compatible.
Cedric finally spoke up. “Simon, I agree that you and Fran aren’t a good match. However, as my senior apprentice, you’ll inherit my medical legacy, and then you can have any woman you desire.”
Simon’s face turned red with anger as he pointed at both Cedric and Francesca. He stuttered, B–But… Y–You…”
He tried to speak, but the words would not come. Suddenly, he passed out from the emotional shock.
Cedric immediately ordered his staff to carry Simon to a guest room to rest. Then, he turned to Andrew and sneered.
“Well, now you’ve seen us making a fool out of ourselves. It’s time to prove yourself by treating Fran. If you fail, you won’t be leaving here in one piece.”
Andrew could not help but laugh, which earned him a glare from Francesca. “What’s so funny?
“I’m laughing at how Simon was completely blind to your feelings, and now his love has turned to heartbreak,” Andrew replied with a smile.
Francesca’s cheeks flushed pink. “There’s nothing funny about it. I never had those feelings for Simon. Let’s just start the treatment.”

He could not understand how this young doctor from Jayrodale General Hospital had the confidence to treat her, but if Andrew failed or took advantage of the situation, he would face Cedric’s wrath.
Two hours later, the door opened. Andrew removed his blindfold and called out, “You can come in now, Mr. Aicker.”

Cedric rushed into the room. “Fran, how are you feeling?”
Francesca, now fully dressed but still blushing, whispered, “I’m fine now, Grandpa.”
“What do you mean by ‘fine“?”
“It means… I’m finally normal, like any other woman!”
Cedric’s jaw dropped in astonishment.
