Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 12

For a moment, Sasha and her parents looked at each other in silence. At last, James clenched his teeth as he rose to his feet, glaring at Matthew.

“Matthew Larson, are you happy now?!” James confronted him furiously through gritted teeth, “Are you happy to see our family finally being reduced to such a pathetic state because of you?”

Matthew remained silent with his head held low.

“Forget it! Is there any point in explaining to him now? If he has some kind of conscience, he wouldn’t have allowed things to get to this stage!” Helen flung her arms angrily at Matthew and ordered, “Now, get to the kitchen and prepare our meals!”

Matthew tightened his jaw to suppress the boiling anger within him while he made his way to the kitchen. After some time, he heard someone opening the door. He quickly went over and found his sister-in-law, Demi, was there.

Demi Cunningham was Sasha’s younger sister who did not have Sasha’s gorgeous looks. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have married a nobody like Liam Hayes.

Despite this, Demi had always looked down on Matthew, whom she would never be interested in, even if he turned out to be the only one left surviving after the entire male population on earth had died out.

After occupying himself in the kitchen, Matthew finally finished preparing the dishes which he then served on the dining table. By the time he settled everything, Sasha had yet to return home. Suddenly, Demi ordered, “Matthew, go to my sister’s room and fetch me my handphone!” She spoke as though she was giving instructions to her maid.

Without saying a word, Matthew then went to the room. Two phones were placed on the table—one belonged to Sasha and another belonged to Demi. It seemed like Sasha did not bring her phone with her when she stormed out of the house.

 

Just as he was about to leave the room with Demi’s phone, the screen of Sasha’s phone suddenly lit up to show a notification of a new message. ‘Darling, I’m glad that you finally made the decision. Meet me at Room 2018 of Hotel Marriott at 3p.m. and I’ll be waiting for you there! Muacks!’

At that moment, Matthew felt as though someone had just poured a whole bucket of water on him from the top of his head. He thought, Did Sasha finally cave in? I-Is she having an appointment with another man at a hotel?!

Standing rooted to the spot for what seemed like an eternity, Matthew’s heart felt like it was breaking apart. Had the woman he loved and trusted the most betrayed him?

He felt dizzy and he could only come to his senses after some time. Looking absent-minded, he left the room with Demi’s phone. He seemed to have lost his appetite for dinner, because all he could think about was the content of that message.

Sasha came back home at two something in the afternoon and it was then did Matthew slowly become himself again. Sasha, who constantly looked indifferent, did not speak a word to Matthew as she took her phone and backpack, ready to go out.

“Where’re you going?” Matthew asked her.

Sasha glanced at him and snapped icily, “It’s none of your business! Just put more effort in taking care of your own affairs so that people won’t call you a useless crap in the future!”

“You…” Matthew nearly blurted out a curse at her but in the end, he managed to suppress the anger in him. Perhaps, Sasha had never been in love with him. Since his marriage with her was never formed in a correct way to begin with, he should just make a clean break with her now. However, he refused to give up so easily.

Seeing Sasha as she went, for some reason he decided to follow her. Sasha indeed went to Room 2018 at Hotel Marriott. She stood in front of the room and hesitated for some time before knocking on the door. Soon, the door was opened by a man with a bulging stomach who eyed Sasha in a lewd manner when he let her in.

Matthew thought to himself, That is not Francis Cooper. Is Sasha cheating on our marriage with more than one man? His curiosity was killing him. At that moment, he really felt a driving urge to lunge forward to stop Sasha from going into the room. Yet, he decided not to do that in the end.

Although left with no hope in reviving his relationship with Sasha, Matthew did not want to turn their relationship completely sour. Perhaps, he had indeed been a hindrance to Sasha over the years, just like how James had put it before.

If that was the case, Matthew wanted them to have a friendly breakup without holding grudges against each other. After letting out a sigh, he slowly descended the stairs.

Yet, he threw one last glance at the room, feeling slightly reluctant to give up just like that. What if it’s just a misunderstanding and I’ve mistaken Sasha for what she’s not?
