“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?”
Logan grinned. “Don’t forget that we agreed to become sworn brothers. And since we’re doing this properly, we need to make the pledge and all that.”
Andrew rubbed his temple. “Do we really need to make it official? I thought you were just saying that in the heat of the moment.”
Logan’s face turned serious. “I meant every word. And since I said it, I’ll see it through. So from now on, you’re my sworn brother, Andrew. Blood doesn’t matter–what counts is the bond.”
Chantelle’s eyes widened slightly. Logan was taking this seriously, and that meant one thing: Andrew’s value had shaken even the mighty Keller family.
To put it bluntly, someone with Andrew’s level of medical mastery was worth investing in.
However, Logan was the heir to the entire Keller family. There was absolutely no reason for him to personally

form a sworn brotherhood with Andrew unless his potential was so overwhelming that the Keller family was willing to go all–in.
In the end, Andrew did not go along with any dramatic rituals or vows. He simply agreed that from now on, they would treat each other as brothers.
Then, under Logan’s warm insistence, Andrew and Chantelle finally took their leave from the Keller residence.
“I seriously don’t get you,” Chantelle said with a sigh once they were out. “Logan offered you a sworn brotherhood, and you just brushed it off?”
She shook her head in frustration. “Do you have any idea how powerful that family is?”
Andrew shrugged. “I don’t know how thick that branch was, but I know it isn’t as powerful as me.”
Chantelle snorted. “If you had truly accepted Logan as your sworn brother and spread the word through the Keller. family’s channels, then the Goldings‘ bounty on your head would’ve been withdrawn by tomorrow. All those people causing you trouble would vanish within days. You believe that?”
Andrew replied casually, “I believe it. But like I said–I don’t need it.”
Sure, the Keller family could shield him from danger, but Andrew had already accepted their medicinal gifts, so he was not about to lean on their reputation as a shield too.
There had to be a limit to taking advantage, and Andrew had never been the kind of man who overplayed his hand -at least not with people he respected.
That said, if he disliked someone? Then, he had no problem bleeding them dry.
Take Chantelle, for example.

“Ms. Garcia, kindly drive me back to my place. Then take your clothes off and let me admire the view,” Andrew said with a straight face.
