The Great Medical Saint (Matthew) novel Chapter 780

Like a lost soul, Nathan ran aimlessly with nowhere to go. He kept going until his legs felt so heavy that he couldn't take another step.

As he stopped, he looked back and saw no one behind him, so he just plopped down on the ground. Dripping wet, he sat under a tree to catch his breath.

People on the street kept turning to look his way, but the last thing Nathan wanted was attention.

Gritting his teeth, he picked himself up and looked around before spotting a public restroom not far away. He made his way to the restroom and went for the accessible stall. After locking himself in, he sat on the toilet lid and finally started feeling more grounded.

Nathan played back the journey to Lambda City in his mind, like a movie. After showing up alone in Lambda City, he found a room in a small hotel without running into anyone he knew. Then, he rented a cab just to drive around openly without drawing attention.

Nathan recollected every event that happened after he arrived in Lambda City and before he jumped into Lambda River. But he still couldn't figure out how he was exposed.

As far as he knew, Matthew had never seen him. In fact, even the assassins from The Misfortune's Veil had no idea who he was.

In The Misfortune's Veil, only Farrell knew about Nathan's appearance and background, but he was already dead. How did Matthew recognize Nathan right off the bat?

Nathan scratched his head and pulled at his hair. Despite yanking out bits of his hair, he was still stumped. An unshakable sense of fear crept onto him.

Leaving Lambda City came first. Screw the job! At most, Nathan would refund the client half the fee.

Just as he reached for his phone, he found nothing in his wet pocket.

What? Nathan sprang to his feet and searched himself, checking every pocket. But his phone was still nowhere to be found.

Crap! The phone had gone missing.
