Thomas said, "But I don't approve of many aspects of your conduct. I hope you return to the right path and stop behaving in such an unorthodox manner. I'm saying all this for your own good. Do you understand?"

Andrew replied calmly, "In expertise lies mastery, Dr. Bozzelli. Beyond your seniority, receding hairline, and… generous midsection, what exactly qualifies you? Honestly, whether in medical skills or other areas, I don't see anything I need to learn from your lectures or guidance."

Logan, who had grown tired of Thomas's self-importance, chuckled. "Dr. Bozzelli, you're certainly a celebrity in Gabo Creek and Blumedale Hospital's medical community. Using your achievements to pressure others isn't exactly honorable.

"More importantly, those achievements don't give you any overwhelming advantage over Andy. Just his Moonlit Apothecary and the two breakthrough medicines he developed are accomplishments you couldn't hope to match!"

Thomas looked startled and turned to Bernard.
