Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 1940

Matthew's mind was a mess right now. Everything had happened far too suddenly and ended up throwing a wrench into his plans.

After seeing the expression on his face, Salazar spoke up abruptly, "Melvin asked me to tell you something."

"What is it?" Matthew asked.

"These people act solely for the sake of their best interests," Salazar said quietly. "Don't be caught up in the current situation. Don't let anyone else replace out about your condition. Cope with the variability of the situation by maintaining the status quo."

Matthew was startled at the words of advice. He started mulling over what Melvin meant by these words.

Melvin said these people were acting solely for the sake of their best interests, but who was he talking about?

The first person that Matthew thought of was Levi.

There was no doubt that Levi did everything with his benefit in mind.

He sent the black-clad person to keep an eye on Matthew to prevent the Damrons from taking Matthew away. This was so that he could keep Matthew in the South, and thus, the benefits garnered from the Restoration Pill would stay in the South as well.

Even though the person in black now knew about Matthew's secret, he wouldn't expose it.

Firstly, Levi might not have been involved in the Larsons' incident back then.

Thus, he might not know about the Larsons' family heirloom, which was the jade pendant.

For Levi, even if he knew Matthew was Shane's heir, that information was not as valuable as the Restoration Pill.

Therefore, even if he knew about this secret, he might not expose it.

Once word got out, those people involved in the massacre back then would come after Matthew now.

If that had happened, Levi would not be able to keep Matthew in the South to benefit from the Restoration Pill.

After figuring this out, Matthew's spirits improved.

He had been distraught over this earlier, but now, he understood just how unnecessary his concerns had been.

Melvin was right. He didn't have to worry about Levi at all.

Levi was even less keen than he was to see this secret exposed!

It had to be said that Melvin was a sly fox indeed.

Although he seemed to be unaware of the goings-on in general, in reality, he had a clear understanding of the forces at play around them.

Matthew couldn't help but feel thankful that Melvin was helping him the whole time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to come this far.

Then, Matthew thought about the other thing that Melvin had said.

He warned Matthew not to let anyone else know about his condition. What did he mean by that?

In actuality, while Matthew's injuries were quite severe, his situation wasn't hopeless.

He was in a dire situation when he was forced to swallow the Stargulf's fruit.

If he still had his strength at that time, he would've been able to salvage the situation himself, though the treatment would be extremely complicated.

However, he didn't have any strength left in him at the time, and Falconn's strength nearly knocked him out.

Under those circumstances, he had to get Tyson to stab the needles in his acupoints to ensure he survived. He asked Tyson to send for Dr. Ellis so that Dr. Ellis could help him restore his meridians in time.

That way, when he woke up, he would have the time to slowly treat his injuries.

When Tyson and the others were asking about his condition earlier, Matthew was going to tell them he was fine.

However, Salazar gave him a slight nudge on his back, and he immediately changed his words. He claimed that his condition was hopeless. He now knew why Salazar did that.

The person in black had been eavesdropping at the time, so if he had said that he could still be saved, then his true condition would be exposed. There had to be a reason why Melvin told Matthew not to let anyone replace out about the state of his injuries.

He knew that Melvin wanted to let Levi replace out about his condition on purpose.

After all, if he were crippled, then in Levi's eyes, it would only make it even easier for him to control Matthew!
