Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 2038

After some persuasion, Roxanne reluctantly agreed, though she was clearly unhappy about it. With Matthew present, she couldn't very well lose her temper. It was important to maintain her feminine image, so she glanced gratefully at Eleanor. Tritus also realized that he couldn't directly confront Matthew with Roxanne around, as it would only make her angrier. So, he had to take a more patient approach.

"Mr. Larson, I'm sorry. Sometimes when I care too much about someone, I become over-anxious."

After a false apology to Matthew, Tritus quickly extended an invitation. "Roxanne, haven't you been wanting to treat Mr. Larson to a meal? It's already too late to go anywhere else, so why don't you dine here with us? What do you think, Mr. Larson?"

His tone carried a hint of menace, but Matthew shrugged off the veiled threat. In Bainbridge, even the most arrogant person wouldn't dare to mobilize a large number of people. Moreover, they were currently preparing for the Holy Doctor Competition, and any potential threat to public security would be severely punished. No matter how powerful the family was, it was nothing compared to the country's dignity.

"I don't mind, but I'm curious. Wasn't Miss Bane wanting to treat me to a meal just something between me and her?" Matthew walked over with a mocking expression. "Mr. Tritus, are you monitoring Miss Bane every day, or did someone tell you about this?"

As soon as those words came out, Tritus was speechless. Meanwhile, Roxanne was already flustered by the confession from Tritus she had heard earlier. With Matthew's remarks, she suddenly understood. How could Tritus know about her improving health and her dinner invitation to Matthew? Someone must have leaked the information.

She turned her head and glanced at Eleanor, who immediately looked awkward and lowered her head. Eleanor was cursing Matthew in her heart, Damn you and your devious intention of trying to drive a wedge between Roxanne and me. She didn't feel an ounce of guilt for her actions.
