Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 266

Early the next morning, Liam and Demi returned home just as James and Helen were about to pay a visit to Matthew.

In fact, Liam and Demi had been staying with them all the while, but they dared not go back home the previous night for fear of the possibility of being punished.

The sight of the both of them made Helen’s expression turn icy. “Why are the two of you here? Don’t you two know that Matthew is not happy with you? Did you guys come here on purpose to make him angry?”

Liam lamented deep down inside. Indeed, money makes all the difference! Prior to this, James and Helen were always annoyed to see Matthew; but now, they are asking us to avoid him so that he won’t be angry because of our presence!

“Mom, we are here because we know that Matthew has left for work. Remember that jacket you fancied last time? We happened to have some spare time, so Demi and I went and bought it for you. Dad, we bought you that pair of leather shoes you’ve been eyeing too.”

With a wide grin, Liam handed the gifts to them.

It was only then did the tension in Helen’s face ease up a little. “Liam, to be honest, it’s not quite appropriate for you to keep heading back home, seeing how you used to be very harsh on Matthew. Also, how could you refuse to honor your word after losing the bet with Sasha?”

Demi said anxiously, “Mom, didn’t Liam kneel down and apologize to him already? What else do you guys want him to do?”

James muttered, “Hmph, since he did bet with Sasha, he should have accepted his defeat more gracefully! A man is only as good as his word. Since he promised to kneel down if he lost the bet, I am not impressed by how he hesitated and was reluctant to get down onto his knees in the end!”

Demi looked indignant, and was just about to refute when Liam stopped her. “Dad is right. A man has to honor his promise, in any case. Dad, please don’t worry because I’ll take note and try hard to become a man of my word in the future, just like you. As for Matthew, did he mean what he said?”

James and Helen glanced at each other before asking, “What do you mean?”
