Big Novel

Chapter 555 Lauren giggled and said , Dr.

Lloyd , you silly man , you can even figure out something as obvious as a girls feelings .

Im not explaining it to you see you at the medical center later .

With that , she hung up .

Andrew thought for a moment .

Why was Francesca upset ? Could it have something to do with Simon ? But that didnt seem right .

Francesca had mentioned before that Simon had come to terms with her decision and had even offered his blessings .

After mulling it over , Andrew decided to call Francesca .

Fran , Id like to thank you and Lauren for taking care of everything for the medical center .

After the opening ceremony , let me treat you to dinner .

Francescas tone tone was lackluster , almost lethargic .

Theres no need , Andrew .

I helped you willingly .

You dont have to take me out .

Andrew chuckled .

Fran , you dont sound well .

Are you feeling sick ? Francesca responded softly , her voice subdued .

Yes , Im sick very sick .

Andrew frowned .

Youre a doctor yourself .

How can you not take care of your own health ? Come to the medical center early .

Ill check you over .

Francesca sighed weakly .

Theres no need .

My illness isnt physical ; its in my heart .

So , you cant fix it .

Lets just leave it at that , Andrew .

Ill see you later .

Before Andrew could say anything else , Francesca hung up .

Andrew was puzzled .

Although Francesca still answered his questions , her tone clearly conveyed a sense of distance and hesitation , as if she was avoiding him .

And her mention of her illness being in her heart rather than her body ? That sounded like a broken heart .

Silly girl , Andrew muttered with a small smile , beginning to piece together her feelings .

But he knew he had no easy solution to this .

All he could do was take it one step at a time .

After all , he couldnt start a relationship with Lauren and then turn around and add Francesca to the mix .

That would be far too much .

Moreover , Andrew couldnt quite read Francescas heart .

The two of them had always been close , existing in a delicate balance .

Yet Francesca had never truly opened her heart to him .

Despite their deep connection one that could be considered extraordinary Francesca had kept her feelings guarded .

He remembered treating Francescas condition .

Even while he was blindfolded , he could feel her voluptuous figure due to their physical proximity with each other during the treatment .

Because of her unique medical condition , Andrew had even touched areas no one else had .

In terms of closeness , they were practically beyond what most couples experienced .

But actions didnt necessarily define relationships .

Chapter 555 +25 BONUS Andrew wasnt the type to greedily claim Francesca as his without her consent .

Shaking off his thoughts , Andrew picked up his phone and dialed Natashas number .

Natasha sounded surprised .
