Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Andrew said, "Alright then, let's wait and see who comes out on top in the end!"

He ignored Michael's threats and headed upstairs to find Lauren.

The moment Lauren saw him, her face lit up with excitement. She exclaimed, "Dr. Lloyd, Shiloh's influence is even stronger than I expected! You probably haven't checked yet, but Rhodes Pharmaceutical's sales for your two signature pills have been doubling every single day since Shiloh's endorsement!"

Andrew was not surprised. The main reason was simple-the Vitality Pill and Titan Essence Pill were high-quality products. Once people understood their benefits, they naturally trusted them and bought without hesitation.

On top of that, Shiloh had always maintained a strong and positive reputation online. With her loyal fan base rallying behind her, there was no way the two pills would not go viral.

Lauren clenched her fist, brimming with energy. "At this rate, our advantage is growing by the day. As long as we have the Vitality Pill and Titan Essence Pill, we can solidify our position against the Pharmaceutical Division.

"Plus, the PR crisis that had Rhodes Corporation tied up before? Thanks to Mr. Chapman's efforts and Michael's little... distraction-public attention has finally shifted away!"

Andrew nodded. "That means it's time to confront Mrs. Rhodes. I've said it before-no one's taking that CEO position away from you."

Across the room, Shiloh had been quietly scrolling through her phone. Suddenly, she lifted her gaze and looked at Andrew. "Lauren, you told me you and Mr. Lloyd are dating, right?"

Lauren smiled, completely unfazed. "That's right. Dr. Lloyd is my man."

Shiloh tilted her head and muttered, "That's interesting... because I can strongly smell another woman on him."

Lauren blinked. "Another woman's scent?"

Her gaze instantly turned suspicious as she locked onto Andrew.

Andrew coughed lightly and, in the most straightforward way possible, admitted, "Fran couldn't sleep last night, so she came over, and we had a long chat."

Without missing a beat, Lauren pulled out a small notebook and started jotting something down.noveldrama

Andrew frowned. "What are you doing?"

Without looking up, Lauren answered, "I'm keeping track of how many times

you've slept with Fran. That way, however many times she gets, I'll definitely be getting more-because I'm the main girl, and I can't have less."

Andrew felt an immediate headache coming on. He wondered why Lauren's thought process always had to be so weird.

Hoping to escape the topic, he turned to Shiloh. "How's Moonlit Apothecary? Are you comfortable staying there?"

Shiloh tapped on her phone,

chuckling as she replayed Michael's viral video. "Not bad. I actually like the place. Plus, Cedric's there, so we chat a lot. It's nice."

Andrew raised a brow. "You just call him Cedric?"

Shiloh nodded. "Yeah. He's younger than me, so it only makes sense to call him by name."

Technically, that logic was sound, but something about it still felt off to Andrew.

Shiloh's amnesia made her way of

thinking very different from normal

people and with her ageless

syndrome, she still looked like a

young woman-completely

unaffected by time.

The mere thought of Cedric following her around, acting like an eager little intern,

made Andrew feel weird.

Lauren suddenly asked, "Dr. Lloyd, do you think there's a cure for Shiloh's amnesia and ageless syndrome?"

For Lauren, ageless syndrome was not a bad thing.

Staying youthful forever? That sounded great. However, her amnesia was a real issue.

Now that she and Shiloh had become friends, she genuinely wanted Andrew to find a way to help her.

Andrew sighed. "Both conditions are extremely difficult to treat. Unless

we come across some rare

opportunity or a once-in-a-lifetime miracle ingredient, I don't have a real solution right now."

Amnesia alone was already a complicated mess. There were countless causes- some people lost their memories due to extreme trauma, while others suffered from severe injuries.

Restoring memory often required highly specific triggers or deep psychological stimulation. To this day, even modern medicine had no guaranteed cure.
