Ted and Joseph left after everything was settled, and the director dispersed the crowd.
Naturally, this incident had a huge impact on the hospital. Now that everybody knew Crystal’s identity, there were even more people attracted to her. Her astonishing beauty was one thing, but her identity was even more attractive than that. Whoever married her would never need to work hard for the rest of their lives! After all, even the director of the hospital had to bow his head to her!
Hence, many young men were constantly heading toward the Department of Chinese Medicine during working hours, intentionally or not, in hopes of being noticed by Crystal. Unfortunately, she did not even spare them a single glance. On the other hand, Matthew was the constant target of jealous stares ever since the incident. Thus, he was feeling rather exasperated by it.
When the workday finally ended, Matthew gathered up his stuff to leave. The moment he walked into the hospital yard, he saw Crystal waiting by the side of the Maserati she drove.
She was gorgeous, blessed with a beautiful figure, and drove a luxury car to boot. Therefore, she attracted the attention of countless people. Moreover, a group of guys fantasized about how great it would be if they had such a beautiful woman waiting for them. They were even willing to reduce their lifespans by ten years if they could marry her!
Crystal’s eyes brightened when she saw Matthew. Then, she immediately called out to him, “Matthew! I’ll give you a ride home!”
Upon hearing those words, everybody was taken aback. Crystal was aiming for Matthew all along? That thought left everybody feeling bitter. Why? Putting aside the fact that Matthew had married a stunning beauty like Sasha Cunningham, even Crystal is being so partial to him. Who can accept that?!
“That little boy toy sure is good at seducing women! I seriously don’t understand what these women see in him! He is nothing more than a janitor that was cleaning the toilets! So, why are Sasha and Crystal so attracted to him?” a male doctor said bitterly.
At the moment, another male doctor beside him smilingly said, “You won’t understand it. He is a professional in his field! Some people are just experts at sucking up to women. Of course, you won’t be able to compete with him! It’s his specialty to mooch off women!”
Thus, they roared with laughter.
Then, the first male doctor curled his lips and said, “What bullsh*t! That sort of man is nothing but trash! In my opinion, he must have deceived Miss Harrison somehow. She probably doesn’t know that he is married. That’s why she was deceived. We should let her know, lest she gets deceived by him!”
The group of male doctors nodded fervently. They, too, felt that Crystal must have been deceived by Matthew.
Meanwhile, Matthew glanced sideways at Crystal and replied coldly, “No, thanks.”
Crystal looked slightly embarrassed. “Matthew, today was my first day at work. Thank you very much for taking care of me. For that reason, I would like to treat you to a meal. Also, I want to thank you for saving me last time while I’m at it.”
He waved his hand again. “That’s not necessary!”
After saying that, he ignored her, got onto his electric bike, and rode away.
Watching as his figure disappeared into the distance, she stomped her feet in anger. Still, there was nothing else she could do.
At that moment, one of the male doctors quietly approached her. “Hi, Miss Harrison.”
Glancing at him impatiently, she retorted, “What?”
The male doctor was taken aback by her response. Thus, he started to stutter, “I-I just want to let you know that Matthew is m-married… Besides, h-he is a live-in son-in-law. He mooches off his wife… So, he is not a good person. You must not be deceived by him…”
For a moment, Crystal looked annoyed. “That’s none of your business. I know he’s married, and I also know that his wife is Sasha Cunningham. But, so what? I like him. Those are my feelings. Married or not, I like him. Do you have a problem with that?”
