Son-in-Law Is a Medical Genius novel Chapter 268

Matthew was informed that he had been transferred to the Department of Chinese Medicine not long after starting work that morning.

In fact, he was slightly taken aback by how efficient the hospital director had made the arrangements.

However, he was not too bothered by that.

As his medical skills were mainly based on traditional Chinese medicine now, the role at the Department of Chinese Medicine would actually be more suitable for him.

After barely settling into his new office, James, Helen and Demi visited him with smiles on their faces.

With a wide grin, James asked, “Matthew, how do you feel now that you finally have your own office?”

After looking at her surroundings, Demi nodded her head in approval. “Needless to say, he must feel very good about it! It feels very comfortable being in this room; it’s so spacious and bright. Don’t you think so, Matt?”

With a slight frown, Matthew asked, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

Helen waved her hands dismissively and said, “Nothing much, we’re just here to look around. We’ve never been here to visit you, even after you’ve been working here for such a long time. Alas, we’ve been too busy! So, we’ve finally squeezed out some time today to come here and visit one of our old friends who works here. We spent a huge effort in persuading him to get you transferred and be the head of this department! But Matt, you don’t have to thank us because that’s what family is for, right?”

Matthew was puzzled. He had no idea how his transfer could be related to them.

In an earnest tone, James said, “Matt, you’ve been addressing us as your Dad and Mom so far. We don’t expect you to repay us, as long as you do your best in this job!”

With his lips pursed, Matthew grumbled in his head. What do I owe the two of you? When I was working as the toilet cleaner here several years ago, you guys would always avoid getting too near to the hospital so that no one would know we were related. I know the 300 million is the reason why you guys are suddenly here showing how much you care about me.

Matthew couldn’t be bothered to pay much attention to them, and only responded with some perfunctory remarks.

After making some small talk, James and Helen thought it was about time to mention the money. Helen asked Matthew directly, “Matt, do you still have the card that the Jacksons gave you yesterday?”

“Yes, it’s with me. What’s the matter?” Matthew asked.

Overjoyed to hear that, Helen told him, “We just had a brief discussion with Sasha earlier today about our house. We think it’s really too small, and the two of you can’t even have your own personal space. So, we were thinking of using our savings to upgrade to a better house, but our savings isn’t enough. I was wondering whether you could contribute some funds to the purchase of the new house?”

“How much more do you need?”

“We have about 500,000 in savings, but prices of a decent house in Eastcliff can vary. What about giving us the card, and letting us buy the house with it? We’ll return it to you after that. How about that?”

Matthew did not say anything.

Demi, who had her gaze fixed on Matthew right from the very beginning, immediately sneered when she noticed he was keeping quiet. “Hey, Matthew, I don’t suppose you are being wary of Dad and Mom? You’re being so quiet right after they asked you for the card. What’s wrong? Do you think Dad and Mom will use up all your money?”

Matthew shook his head. “Of course I believe Dad and Mom!”

Helen smiled immediately. “You’re indeed a very sensible man! Don’t worry, we won’t take more than what we need. Why don’t we do it this way—you hand us the card first, and we will let you know later on how much we’ve spent?”

With resignation, Matthew told them, “The problem is, you guys came here too late. There’s no more money left in the card…”

“What?” Helen and James exclaimed in unison.

Demi yelled, “It’s 300 million! How did you spend it? You couldn’t have spent all the money overnight! A-Are you trying to bluff us by transferring the money to another account? Mind you, the money isn’t meant as a compensation for just you, but it also includes our share! I-I will never forgive you if you’ve lost all the money!”
