Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 985

Chapter 985 Pick-up Lines

Helen broke into a relieved smile. “See, Heidi? James may seem like a brute at times, but he means well. Your troubles are ours to shoulder as well. Now, all you have to do is stay here and get some rest. Matthew happens to be the department director here, so you can look for him if you need any help.” With that, she turned to her husband and said, “James, I won’t be going home tonight. I’ll be staying here with my sister.”

James chortled. “That’s fine by me. I have nothing much to do for the next few days anyway, so I’ll get groceries and make you some soup, Heidi. By the way, Matthew, I’ll be the one handling the medical expenses on Heidi’s behalf. Have the check sent to me.”

Heidi gaped at him. “James—”

He cut her off bluntly. “Will you stay quiet? It’s not as if I can’t pay the bill. I’m no Scrooge, you know! Matthew, don’t you and Sasha dare pay a single cent for Heidi’s expenses. I’ll be the one covering them, got it?”

Matthew and Sasha exchanged a brief glance, and they were clearly elated to see how much James had changed for the better. They had come a long way to witness this shift in his demeanor, after all.

It was only after James had made his intentions clear that he waved his hand and said, “Alright then, get some rest, Heidi. I’ll go back and get started on that soup. Helen, be sure to take good care of your sister, okay?” Then, he turned on his heels and left the room.

Tears welled up in Helen’s eyes, and her heart twisted with newfound gratitude for her brother-in-law.

Helen, on the other hand, offered up words of solace. “There, you’ve completely misunderstood James. He’s a good man at heart. Whatever happened with Chloe and Norman was entirely their fault; they were the ones who crossed the line first. That’s enough crying now, Heidi. You get some rest, and I’ll be right here. Matthew, Sasha, the both of you can leave and get back to your work now.”

Having heard this, Matthew and Sasha walked out of the room.

 

Sasha broke the silence with a small sigh. “Heidi loves Leia more than anyone else; she lives for her. How could the girl do something like this?”

Matthew sighed as well. If he had to be honest, Leia’s angst and rebellion were by-products of Heidi’s overindulgent parenting.

Sasha’s musings on the subject lasted only a few lines, after which she did not linger in the hospital and instead walked down the stairs to leave.

She had parked her car out in the yard, and when she arrived, she saw that there were several figures hovering near her vehicle. From where she stood, she could see two girls standing by her car, posing for photos.

One of the girls then proceeded to perch on the bonnet, thereafter putting on several more poses.

Sasha frowned at this. Okay, it’s one thing for you to take photos with my car, but to sit on it for the sake of looking good for the camera is just plain rude! With that in mind, she sauntered over and pressed on her car key to unlock the doors, which was just another way for her to ask these people to leave.

Several heads turned at that moment, and when the young men registered Sasha’s presence, their eyes lit up with interest.

“Wow, there’s a hottie coming our way!”
