Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Author:Only For You Last Updated:2024-10-14 10:13:00 Amidst the flurry of bodyguards, a young girl was rushed into the hospital on a stretcher.

By her side, a tall, stunning woman with long flowing hair and legs clad in black stockings clutched the girls hand desperately.

Her voice trembled with emotion as she spoke, Cece, please be okay.

Im right here, and I promise Ill save you, no matter what.

Despite the urgency of the situation, many onlookers immediately recognized the woman.

She was Lauren Rhodes, the heiress of the prestigious Rhodes family and widely regarded as the most beautiful woman in Jayrodale.

In the citys fashion industry, Lauren was often described as a femme fatale.

Ms.

Rhodes, please dont worry.

Our hospital will do everything in our power to save your sister, Bernard Hackett, the hospitals deputy chief, rushed to assure her.

Laurens status and the Rhodes familys influence in Jayrodale were unparalleled.

Hence, their presence demanded nothing but the utmost dedication and respect from the hospital staff.

After watching Cecelia Rhodes being wheeled into the emergency room, Lauren turned to face the assembled staff.

Tears still glistened on her flawless face, but they did nothing to lessen her elegance and commanding presence.

Dr.

Hackett, bring me your best doctor immediately.

I have only one request: save Cecelia.

We will reward you generously afterward.

Bernard nodded solemnly.

For a member of the Rhodes family, well assemble our top team.

With our chief doctor away, Ill personally lead the operation.

Then, he turned to the hospital staff and said, Ill also need our most skilled attending physician to assist me.

At these words, several doctors stepped forward, especially the male physicians, their faces alight with excitement and anticipation.

It was a golden opportunity to shine in front of Lauren, with the potential for great rewards and perhaps even the attention of Jayrodales most desirable bachelorette.

Philip was the most eager, rushing to the front and addressing Lauren directly.

Ms.

Rhodes, you can call me Dr.

Philip.

With me on the case, Ms.

Cecelia will be in safe hands.

Lauren frowned.

Dr.

Hackett, is he truly your most skilled attending physician? I insist on only the best.

I hope you understand.

Bernard hesitated, his gaze unconsciously drifting toward Andrew, who stood at the back of the crowd.

An elderly doctor with graying hair leaned in and whispered, Bernard, given the importance of the Rhodes family, I believe Andrew would be a better choice than Philip.

Another respected senior physician chimed in, Bernard, let Andrew assist you.

Everyone here can attest to his exceptional medical skills.

Bernard hesitated, fully aware that Andrews medical skills far surpassed Philips.

However, he could not bring himself to choose Andrew for one simple reason: Philip was his son.

Ms.

Rhodes, Dr.

Philip is indeed our most skilled attending physician.

You can trust him completely.

With Bernards assurance, Lauren saw no reason to argue.

Very well.

Dr.

Hackett and Dr.

Philip, Im counting on you both to work your magic.

Encouraged, Philip confidently declared, Rest assured, Ms.

Rhodes.

I wont let you or your sister down.

As he entered the emergency room, he shot a smug glance at Andrew, silently gloating that connections trumped skill in their hospital.

She had asked about Andrew on a whim, but she had not expected him to be so outstanding within the hospital, especially given his apparent youth.

After all, it was common knowledge that medical expertise typically deepened with age.

Eunices expression turned curious as she added, Theres more to Dr.

Lloyds story, Ms.

Rhodes.

Lauren smiled, intrigued.

Do tell.

Eunice eagerly obliged.

Do you remember the stunning CEO of Stevens Corporation? Her beauty is second only to yours, but just like you, shes admired by countless people.

Rumor has it shes been keeping a boy toy around, and guess who it is? Laurens eyes widened.

Youre not suggesting its Dr.

Lloyd, are you? Eunice nodded, grinning.

The very same.

But poor Dr.

Lloydword on the street is that Christina just dumped him and is now engaged to Harvey Weller.

Lauren shook her head.

Hes so young and talented.

If hed focused on his career instead of being a kept man, he might have been more appealing.

Such a shame he chose the wrong path.

Their gossip was abruptly interrupted as the emergency room doors burst open.

Two nurses rushed out, panic etched on their faces.

Its an emergency! The patients vitals are dropping rapidly.

Shes barely breathing!
