The Great Medical Saint (Matthew) novel Chapter 831

Matthew was seriously thinking about ending Benson's life, but Brad refused to clean up the scene for him anymore. If he decided to kill someone, he had to ask Ansel to deal with the aftermath.

In that case, he had to keep the whole thing a secret. He didn't want to kill everyone here, so he let Benson off the hook this time.

Killing had become second nature to Matthew. But when he faced someone he wanted to kill and couldn't, it felt off like there was a lump in his throat.

Tony reassured Matthew, saying, "You can count on me. If anything goes wrong, just throw the blame on me. Tell them it was my idea."

Matthew was surprised. "Aren't you afraid?"

Most old people would want to avoid trouble, but Tony was unlike the rest. He willingly took it upon himself.

A pang of sorrow flashed across Tony's face. "I used to believe that even if Jay died, I'd still have three family members left. I never expected Jay to be the last of them. I'm like a flickering candle in the wind, and I could be gone at any time. Nothing is holding me back. Why should I be scared?"

Matthew thought about it and realized that nothing else really mattered when life felt hopeless.

Seeing a distinguished doctor in such a miserable state didn't sit right with him, so he changed the subject, "What's your next plan?"

Tony glanced at Darius and Marilyn and paused for a moment before replying, "Let's move on to the burial. There's no need to wait around. Let's just lay Jay to rest."

Matthew was taken aback. It was the first time he had seen someone skip the funeral and go straight to burial. "Aren't you going to give it a second thought? Don't you want your friends and relatives to mourn for Jay?"

Tony shook his head. "The more friends and family show up, the more embarrassing it gets. None of Jay's kids are grieving, so forget about any relatives coming to the funeral. Let's just move on to the burial."

Darius exchanged glances with Marilyn before stepping forward. "We'll go ahead with the burial like you said, Uncle Tony. The three of us still have a lot to take care of in Eastoria."

Tony glanced at Darius with a cold expression.
