The Great Medical Saint (Matthew) novel Chapter 613

Frowning, Matthew put down his cutlery. "Did Jennifer come here to cause trouble, Mom?"

Lillian sighed. "I know she has some bad qualities, like being obsessed with money and really harsh. When she asked if she could borrow money, I really didn't want to lend it to her. But then she brought up about being Lorraine's grandmother, I ended up lending her some money."

Matthew was frustrated, but he had to keep his cool around Lillian. He replied in resignation, "Look at how she treats Lorraine, Mom. For Lorraine's sake, you can't lend her money. I don't want us to be involved with them anymore. If she shows up again, don't even bother with her."

Lillian nodded. "I regretted it the moment I lent her money, so I'm never doing that again. Are you and Rachel having issues in your relationship, Matthew? You haven't talked about her lately, and she hasn't come by to see Lorraine in quite a while."

Next to them, Lorraine chimed in. "I haven't seen Rachel in a long time, Dad. I really miss her. Can you pick me up from school with her tomorrow?"

Matthew furrowed his brows. "I'll try talking to her. Hopefully, she isn't busy."

…

The next day, Matthew carried Lorraine as he walked toward the school gate.

A short distance away, Gavin also made his way to the school gate with Braylen in his arms. But he looked a bit rough today, with a few fresh scratches on his face. They looked pretty recent.

Upon spotting Gavin, Matthew knitted his brows together.

Lorraine noticed Gavin and leaned closer to Matthew's ear, whispering, "No more fighting with Mr. Hostetler, okay? You need to listen to me."

Matthew held Lorraine close to him. He realized that his three years in prison had left her with some emotional scars.

"I'll do what you say. I promise I won't lay a hand on anyone." With that, Matthew hurried over to the kindergarten's gate.

He hoped Gavin wouldn't cause any trouble. Even if Gavin did, he figured he'd just put up with it. In any case, he didn't want Lorraine to worry about it.

Thank goodness Gavin didn't make a fuss. As Matthew came to the gate, he crouched to put Lorraine on her feet.

Watching Lorraine head inside the kindergarten, Matthew felt a weight lift off his chest. Gavin wasn't looking for trouble, and Matthew didn't want to stir anything up either.

The latter quickly turned to leave. But after a few steps, he suddenly heard a voice behind him. "Wait a minute, Matthew."
