Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 1572

Matthew raised a brow in amusement. "Why are you so surprised to see me?"

Edmund was silent for a moment before shaking his head to say, "Actually, no. I figured it was only a matter of time before you came to Granville. I just didn’t think we'd meet like this."

A little taken aback by the statement, Matthew asked, "Why did you think I'd come to Granville?"

Chuckling bitterly, Edmund explained, "The Albright Family is part of the Ten Greatest Families, which also makes us one of the stakeholders for Neverland Pharmaceuticals. My family was involved when Cunningham Pharmaceuticals' secret formula for the Restoration Pill was stolen, and seeing as Cunningham Pharmaceuticals depended on the Restoration Pill to thrive in the industry, it's only natural that you'd show up in Granville at some point.”

Having heard this, Matthew pointed out, "So you were kept in the loop all this while."

Edmund shrugged. "This whole thing has been planned since two months ago, but I didn't know you then. After Woodside, I made up my mind to help you, but as you know, a lot has changed in my family after we came back. Right now, I can't even help myself. I—"

He broke off as he thought about how pathetic he was, and his voice nearly cracked. He had once been the much-revered heir to the Albright Family, which seemed like a distant past now that he was disrespected and looked down on everywhere he went. He was currently devastated beyond words.

Just then, Matthew chuckled lightly. "It's not too late to help me now." "You want me to help you? How am I supposed to do that when I have nothing to offer?" Edmund asked incredulously.

Matthew said nothing as he proceeded to fix Edmund's arm. When that was done, he answered softly, "Would you like to avenge your father, Edmund?"

Upon hearing this, Edmund clenched his fists, and an icy gleam flashed in his eyes. "Of course," he said through gritted teeth. "I'd like that more than anything else, but what can I do? The one who got the ball rolling was the Damron Family in Bainbridge, and the ones who did the dirty work were none other than the Ten Greatest Families in Stonedale." Thinking about that, Edmund frowned. "I don't even know how long it will take before someone kills me off, so what can I do to avenge my father?"

Matthew smiled subtly. "All you need to do is have the drive for vengeance and I'll help you out the rest of the way. Though, I'm going to need you to do something for me. It's about the Restoration Pill."

Looking motivated for once, Edmund asked, "I'm all ears, Mr. Larson."
