Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2476

"Luna, you've changed," Valerie commented.

The air grew tense and heavy. She let out a short, sarcastic laugh, glancing first at Andrew, then back at Luna. "You've become sentimental… emotional, even paranoid. As for the reason, only God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know…and maybe that idiot over there knows a little too."

She sneered. "Interesting. You actually dare to snap at me because of Andrew? Fine then, I'll play this little game with you… It's my favorite kind anyway."

Leaving those cryptic words behind, Valerie turned and walked out of the Medicine God's Covenant.

As she left, she tossed one last line over her shoulder. "You took my body, Andrew. If you don't take responsibility, I'll haunt you till the day I die."

Andrew opened his mouth but did not bother replying. He could tell Valerie was deliberately provoking Luna.

Even if he were not the sharpest man in the room, that much was obvious.

Sure enough, Luna's expression turned dark. "She was crying a minute ago, and now she's saying something that makes absolutely no sense. Andrew, don't lie to me. Did you find yourself another woman after coming to Chetvine? Are you and Valerie tangled up again?"

Andrew gave a bitter smile, completely at a loss for words. He could not exactly say that, yes, he had stripped Valerie naked.

Luna's eyes flickered with something like pain before she muttered, "Forget it. Leave the items here. I've already delivered the military's message. The rest is up to you, Andrew. You used to be better than this, but now all you do is waste time with dangerous women.

"Andrew, I once thought it wasn't your fault, that your charm just drew women in. I even understood it a little because your brilliance was hard to ignore. But after all these years, I thought you would've grown up. Apparently, you haven't. That so-called charm of yours still lingers, doesn't it? Seems like it's just your way of feeding that empty, lustful heart of yours."

Luna's tone grew colder with every word, and before Andrew could say anything, she turned to leave. He felt a rush of frustration rise in his chest.

"Wait. I don't agree with what you just said. What do you mean by I'm doing all this to satisfy some empty desire? There's absolutely nothing between me and Valerie, alright?"

Luna paused, her voice laced with mockery. "Whether there's something between you two or not doesn't concern me. But I saw it myself, Andrew… Valerie cried. A woman like her probably only cries once in her life. And what a coincidence, it was because of you."
