Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2807

Andrew looked at her giggling and could not help feeling surprised. Valerie, who had always been loud, stubborn, and impossible to reason with, suddenly showed such tenderness and care that he froze.

He honestly did not know how to react.

If this had been any other time, her help would not have meant much. Yet now, when his injuries were this severe, he had relied entirely on her to climb all the way to Mount Lourneau. Her help felt like a lifesaving debt.

How was he supposed to repay that?

Andrew stayed quiet, but he was not clueless about why Valerie treated him this way. It was obviously because of their feelings as a man and a woman. As he thought about whether he should keep rejecting and ignoring her, he realized he just could not.

"Andrew, what are you thinking about?" Valerie asked.

When she saw him spacing out, her face suddenly turned pale. She whispered, "Don't tell me you're thinking about Luna or all your other women?"

Andrew lifted his head and looked at her without saying anything.

Valerie gritted her teeth, hurt and angry as she snapped, "If you're thinking about them, then I'll leave! But don't worry, I won't abandon you… When we get back to Chetvine, I'll have Luna come take care of you herself!"

Andrew tried to lift his hand, but he could not.

Andrew shook his head with a tired smile. "I don't want to do anything. I just wanted to wipe your tears. Valerie, there's something I've always wanted to ask you."

Valerie pursed her lips. "What do you want to ask? If it's the same old question, then forget it. I don't need to report to you, and I don't owe you any explanations."

Andrew spoke softly. "No, I just want to know why you're treating me like this. You know we've barely known each other for long. And the first time we met was at your family's big auction house, right? Things didn't go well at all. After that, when I went after Jaden, you blocked me, and I was even more…"
