Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 19

“Matthew, what’s this all about?” James couldn’t wait but ask as soon as the birthday celebration ended.

Sasha and the rest of the family too eyed Matthew with astonishment, considering that everything that had unfolded that night was too surreal. With a faint smile, Matthew revealed the truth to them, “It’s nothing much. I just managed to cure the illness of Mr. Newman’s daughter.”

“Mr. Newman’s daughter?” Helen exclaimed in surprise. “Miss Newman was knocked by a car who then turned into a vegetative patient. Ever since then, she had been in a state of coma for a year. Y-You actually cured a vegetative patient?”

At that moment, something dawned on Demi, who prompted anxiously, “Mom, do you remember that Sasha’s company once came up with a new drug that claimed to be a cure for vegetative patients? Matthew, did you use that drug on his daughter?”

“Is that true?” Helen asked curiously.

“That must be the case!” Demi continued, “Matthew is only a graduate from a technical college and he merely works as a cleaner at the hospital. How can he have such excellent medical skills? I bet he must have taken all the credit by using the drug manufactured by our family!”

“That makes sense!” Helen’s eyes lit up with excitement. If that was really the case, the credit of curing Mr. Newman’s daughter should have gone to the Cunninghams instead. With that thought in mind, Helen was once again overwhelmed with bitter resentment. Matthew had had his glorious moment that night which was supposed to belong to the Cunninghams! Helen then quickly probed, “Matthew, since you cured his daughter, how much did he pay you as a reward?”

“I received nothing!” Matthew shook his head and he did not offer an explanation about Demi’s speculation. He did not feel it was the right timing yet to tell anyone about his family heirloom—the jade pendant—so as not to put himself in danger.

“You didn’t receive any reward? Who are you trying to bluff?” Glaring at Matthew, Helen threatened, “Do you want to have it all to yourself? Matthew Larson, I’m telling you, you wouldn’t be able to cure Mr. Newman’s daughter at all without the drug manufactured by our Cunningham Group! All the glory was supposed to belong to our family and it shouldn’t have gone to you!”

Feeling helpless, Matthew emphasized, “I really received no reward but Mr. Newman did promise to do me a favor, and he helped me to prepare the birthday celebration tonight!”

“Say what?!” Helen nearly freaked out when she snapped, “You just let him prepare this birthday celebration for you without asking for a dime from him? Matthew, there must be something wrong with your mind!”

James too asked in his exasperation, “Matthew, do you have any idea what sort of man Mr. Newman is? He could easily reward you with two to three hundred million if you just ask for it! Did you just request for this birthday celebration?”

“Poor people indeed come with poor mindsets. You aren’t ambitious at all!” Demi commented disdainfully. “You don’t even know how to utilize an opportunity to succeed!”

Matthew turned to face Sasha and whispered to her, “I think I used it well!”

Sasha blushed slightly with sweetness overloading her heart. Although they had lost the opportunity to strike the jackpot, at least she could be sure that Matthew really loved her. Sometimes, what women truly desired was just something simple.

“Dumb*ss!” Helen cursed. Suddenly, she seized the box held in Matthew’s hands. “Let me see what Mr. Newman has given you as a gift!”

Helen’s eyes widened in shock at once when she saw what was inside the box. It was the keys of a brand new BMW.

“Mr. Newman has gifted you a BMW!” Helen’s voice quivered with excitement, knowing that it came with a heavy price tag.

Their family did not own a car and everytime they needed transport, they had no choice but to borrow one from Demi’s husband, Liam.

“What’s there to get so excited for?” James’s anger had yet to subside as he snapped. “He could have gotten at least a hundred million but now, all he gets is a car. Is that something worth celebrating?”

Helen, whose face turned bleak at once, criticized Matthew, “Tsk, you’re such a failure!”

“Forget it, at least we now have a car.” Demi took the keys over and asked with a smile, “Mom and Dad, the car is too good to be driven by Matthew. Can I have it?”
