Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1135

"So I had to take a different approach to get the medicine into his system," Andrew said calmly.

As he spoke, he picked up the large bowl of herbal decoction Chantelle had prepared and placed it over the flame. The concoction soon began to boil, releasing a rich herbal aroma as steam filled the room.

The medicated vapor slowly rose and enveloped George's entire body.

Mosby scoffed. "And here I thought it was some groundbreaking technique—turns out it's just herbal steaming! Even I can do that."

Everyone could tell he was just trying to stay relevant. Normally, his usual entourage of bootlickers would have chimed in with praise. But this time, no one said a word.

Mosby turned to look behind him, only to see that the doctors who once flocked around him were now focused entirely on Andrew, their expressions full of admiration. They had already dismissed Mosby completely as if he were no longer in the room.

"You'll need to do this treatment once every three days," Andrew instructed. "Keep it going for half a month, and the stiffness in Mr. Keller Senior's body should be resolved."

He clapped his hands and stepped back. With that, the treatment was finished.

Logan stepped forward with a serious look. "Andrew, Ms. Garcia, can I speak with you both in private?"

Andrew nodded, and the three of them headed to the Keller residence's main hall. There, Logan brought out an embroidered case containing two potent medicinal herbs that gave off a strong, pleasant fragrance.

Andrew opened the case, took one look, and chuckled. "I'll gladly accept this."

Both were premium-grade herbs, each over a century old. This was the kind of generosity only a prestigious Blumedale family could afford. Clearly, this trip had been worth it.

"Ms. Garcia," Andrew said with a teasing smile, turning to Chantelle, "let's head back and honor our little bet."

For once, Chantelle's usually cold expression turned faintly red. However, it was not from shyness—it was pure fury. This bastard really had the audacity to flirt with her like that?

Was he not afraid she would shatter both of his family jewels?

Just then, Logan called out, "Wait, Andrew, there's still something we haven't done."

Andrew raised a brow. "What now?"
