Chapter 86 At the Aicker residence in Jayrodale , Andrew accompanied Francesca through the entrance .
He asked , Why arent we doing the treatment at the hospital ? Francescas face flushed as she replied , The hospital is too crowded , and there are too many prying eyes .
Also , Id rather keep my condition private .

Then , she turned to Andrew .
And Andrew , this is my grandfathers senior apprentice .
His medical expertise exceeds even mine .
Andrew offered a polite greeting , Nice to meet you .
Simon responded arrogantly and scoffed .
I bet youre here to become an apprentice , right ? Since Fran brought you , I might teach you a few medical techniques , but dont get your hopes up about Mr.

Im not here to become an apprentice , Andrew replied , shaking his head .
Im here to treat Francescas condition .

Why would she need treatment from you ? Simon , youve misunderstood , Francesca interjected .
Andrew really is here to treat me , not to become an apprentice .
Simon was stunned .
Fran , as the chief doctor of Jayrodale General Hospital , is there anything you cant handle yourself ? And if you couldnt , theres still me , your senior Whats this guy supposed to offer , coming .

Arent you that young man from the Stevens family residence the other day ? Had a change of heart and came to learn from me after all ? The last time , Andrew insulted Cedric by turning down his offer to apprentice , which had been a blow to Cedrics pride .
He thought Andrew was surely here to swallow his pride after realizing Cedrics reputation was no joke , Andrew felt a headache coming on .
Ill say it again Im not here to become an apprentice .
He could not help thinking that the Aickers all seemed to share the same delusional tendencies .
