Erine was quiet for a moment.
"No worries, Master Perry. Just proceed with your work," Erine said, cheerful again.
No wonder... Master Perry was a really good master indeed.
Was there any wealthy person who would apologize for the lack of consideration towards their family's servants? No one else other than her master!
There was also a flash of astonishment in Selina's eyes.
She had heard from Erine that Matthew respected his servants very much.
She'd assumed that Matthew was just putting on an act. After all, he was an expert at pretending to be a good guy.
But just now, he had remembered the small little detail that he didn't respond to Erine earlier and even apologized for it. This was definitely not something an ordinary person would do.
This could meant two things.
First, that Matthew was truly a good person, and he treated everyone as equals regardless of their position.
Second, that Matthew was a genuine schemer, to the point that he had reached the pinnacle of perfection in his front.
Of course, Selina was more inclined towards the latter option.
Matthew brought Selina to the hospital.
In the office, Joycelyn was shocked to see Matthew with a girl in his arms.
"Joycelyn, please take a look at my wife," Matthew said.
After all, he was a man, so he couldn't be too straightforward. Besides, Joycelyn was the head of the gynecologist department. She would probably have an idea on what he meant.
In the meantime, Joycelyn was stunned.
After a while, she stammered, "Matthew, you have... you have a wife? Why doesn't anyone know?"
"I'll talk about it another time," replied Matthew with a wry smile, "Please take a look at her first."
Joycelyn bit her lip and said, "Alright, if you would step outside for awhile?"
Matthew went out and closed the door.
There were only Joycelyn and Selina in the office.
"After you," Joycelyn said to Selina with a complicated tone.
There was another small room in the office.
"That's alright," said Selina, "I don't feel comfortable with strangers examining my intimate body parts. It's just trauma due to excessive sexual intimacy. Just prescribe some medicine for me."
Joycelyn's face darkened a bit, As she bit her lip more heavily, she asked, "Excessive sexual intimacy, Matthew's very good, isn't he?"
The corners of Selina's mouth pulled. "That's none of your business."
Joycelyn did not say anything more. After a while, she prescribed Selina some medicine.
When they left, Joycelyn followed them out, and Matthew stood at the door.
"Matthew," Joycelyn said in a complicated tone, "Let's hang out together next time. We haven't caught up for a long time."
"Alright." Matthew agreed without hesitation.
After going home, Selina went to the bathroom alone.
In the bathroom, she made a phone call to her family doctor in US.
She roughly told him the whole story.
"Miss Whitlock, judging from your friend's symptoms, the medicine that you mentioned isn't suitable. On the surface, this medicine might seem to be able to reduce the symptoms, but in fact, they aren't good for the human body, and the consequences can be quite serious. Of course, ordinary people wouldn't notice it," the private doctor replied, "However, the external medication prescribed by the doctor can be used."
An assumption was confirmed in Selina's mind.
That woman called Joycelyn must have done it on purpose. Even the last time that she saw Joycelyn, she had felt that something was wrong about her. She had had a feeling that she liked Matthew.
And now it seemed that this woman not only liked Matthew, but also had an evil heart.
Otherwise, she would not have prescribed such medicine to harm Selina on purpose.
Selina saw Joycelyn's badge on her shirt. She was the director of the gynecologist department. It just didn't make sense that a director of a gynecologist department would make such a mistake. The only possibility was that she did it on purpose!
