Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3230

"Madam Baxter, you don't blame me for what's happened to the Sovereign's Apothecary, do you?" Andrew asked as he and Brielle walked together through the now-empty halls.

This had once been Brielle's domain, where she had poured countless years of effort. Hence his question.

Brielle stopped before the garden where she used to reside and shook her head. "No. On the contrary, I am grateful to you. The Medicine God's Covenant not only fulfills my dream but has also given me a true home for the rest of my life."

Andrew smiled. "That's good. Soon, I believe Julius will make his move. As long as he comes to Chetvine, I'll kill him and avenge you."

Brielle's body trembled, and she said shyly, "Avenge me? So you're doing all this for me?"

Looking at this mature woman's sparkling eyes, Andrew's heart skipped a beat, and he felt awkward. "Well, it's partly for you, Madam Baxter. But Julius and I already have plenty of bad blood between us. I have to make an example of him."

Brielle smiled faintly. "Why do you seem more and more reserved around me?"

Andrew asked curiously, "Do I?"

Brielle chuckled softly. "Alright, I told you last time that it was just that one occasion. You have a sensitive position now, and many important people are around you. I know my own place and won't harbor any improper thoughts. Besides, the differences in our status and ages are too great. People would think I'm shameless."

Andrew found this amusing. "I don't think so. You really aren't old at all. In fact, you're quite charming. Many younger men adore mature, experienced women like you."
