Chapter 225 Gossip Overload
The way he addressed her had changed again.
Alice couldn’t help but sigh. With the way things looked now, people might think she was starting a new business here.
“What are you doing here?”
Marvin had been hospitalized here for a fracture and had already been discharged. Coming back usually meant a check–up.
But from the looks of it, he hadn’t come from the orthopedics department.
Marvin gave an awkward smile.
“You might not know, but the psychology expert here, Dr. Brown, is

with someone.
Marvin sighed. “Boss, you have no idea. My uncle has been a weirdo since he was a kid.
“He didn’t talk much back then, but in high school, he suddenly opened up.
“But for some reason, after going abroad for college, he became quiet and withdrawn again.
“Oh, right. He had a few girlfriends after coming back, but those relationships all ended badly.
“Boss, it’s great you’re here. I was thinking you could check on my uncle.”
Alice had heard a ton of gossip. “Check what?”
“My uncle’s libido.”
Alice was stunned.
Marvin looked a bit embarrassed and said quietly, “Seriously, if all his ex–girlfriends ditched him, he’s probably bad in bed.”
As soon as he said it, he saw Andy walking over from the corner of his eye.
“Uncle Andy.”
He waved awkwardly, signaling he was here.
But after greeting, he froze.-
Because next to Andy stood a young woman.

The woman looked really angry, and Andy was gently coaxing her the whole time.
Honestly, Marvin thought that even with all the ex–girlfriends he’d had, he’d never been that patient.
Something’s up with Uncle Andy!
But this woman seems a bit familiar.
I think I’ve seen her at a few parties before.
But I can’t remember.
Maybe from a small family?
Or just someone trying to show off at events.
But what’s her deal?
He figured it was best to ask directly.
“Uncle Andy, who’s this person next to you?”
Andy’s expression looked pretty cool and calm.
But when he saw Alice and the others, he couldn’t help but frown.
Alice turned to look at Eric.
Eric walked to her side and gave her a reassuring look.
When Sandy saw them, her expression looked even worse.
“What are you doing here?”
Andy didn’t greet Alice and the others. Instead, he turned to his nephew.
Marvin looked a bit helpless.
“Your sister is looking for you. Did you think I wanted to come?”
The last time he broke his bone and came here, Andy always mocked him.
Then his own mom grounded him for days.
It was really miserable.
Now seeing his uncle just triggered a gut reaction of resistance.
Andy laughed.
“That’s my sister. What is she to you? How about I record this and play it for her?”
Marvin deflated instantly.

He wouldn’t dare,
“Fine, Uncle Andy. Stop teasing nie.”
He lowered his head.
“Do what you want–go home if you feel like it.”
He had delivered the message, thereby completing the task.
Sandy sneered.
“Dr. Brown, if you’re busy, I’ll head out first.”
She really hadn’t expected to run into Eric and Alice here.
What a pain.
But as soon as she said it, Emma and Clayton arrived.
Emma smiled and called out, “Ms. Spencer.” It successfully drew everyone’s attention.
When she saw Clayton, Sandy’s eyes lit up.
She looked at Andy beside her. “Andy, the one I told you about–it’s him.”
Andy knew Clayton but showed no special treatment.
