Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 2092 The Carefree Life of Salazar Whitford

"Ella, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here. I came to Bainbridge in a hurry. That's why I didn't tell you about it." Then, the two women hugged each other.

By then, Eleanor finally connected the dots. She previously thought that Matthew looked familiar during their first encounter. When she saw Leanna, she finally recalled that she had met him once at the Cloud Nine Cocktail Party in Eastshire that she attended upon Leanna's invitation. The memory had been buried in the back of her mind because she did not have a chance to interact with him.

At that time, Leanna had an ambiguous relationship with Matthew, so Eleanor found it amusing that Leanna followed him to Bainbridge.

After the realization, she looked at Matthew through a new lens. At first, she had planned to get Roxanne to prod him about the number of Flaming Elysian Lotus Seeds in his possession. Although Leanna's presence had ruined her plans, she was not one to give up without putting up a fight. She believed she would have more opportunities to do so in the future.

Eleanor replied, "Sure, Leanna. Let's catch up when you're free! Oh, and forgive Roxy. She's been in a bad mood for days. Everything irritates her. Please don't take it to heart. I need to leave now, though. Bye!" With that, she waved at Matthew and Leanna before rushing after Roxanne. There was no point staying on anyway.

Matthew was confused by the sudden visit and abrupt exit of the Bane sisters. Shrugging, he asked, "What's wrong with them?"

"It's fine. Women have a few moody and angry days in a month." Leanna brushed over the topic with a lazy excuse, for she thought it would be difficult to explain the situation to someone as slow as him. Sometimes, she wondered how he managed to get the lovely Sasha Cunningham's hand in marriage.

She recalled how he had entered the arranged marriage and settled down as a live-in son-in-law. He and Sasha got married first and fell in love later. Everything made perfect sense to Leanna now. At the same time, Matthew dropped his concern about Roxanne and headed to his residence with two huge bags of groceries.

Meanwhile, Salazar was enjoying a sunbathe on the lounge chair in the yard. The outgoing and active crown prince of Mightwater was having too much fun with the new friends he made in Bainbridge. Had he not visited home once in a while, everyone would have thought he vanished from the surface of the earth.

However, Salazar was different in temperament. He preferred a slower and more peaceful life, evident from how he had spent his days with plants in the South. He also found great satisfaction in the company of a particularly thoughtful lad.

"Mr. Whitford, the tea's ready. I brewed it with the leaves of the Shrewsdon Valley's first harvest. Do you want a taste?"

Salazar accepted the tea and took a sip. Almost immediately, he felt that he had emerged from a sauna as his pores opened up and gave off a pleasant sensation.

Shrewsdon Valley was indeed the largest producer of herbs in Cathay. Even the tea leaves from the valley had their charm.

"Nice tea." Roland went up to him with a toady smile after receiving the compliment. "Mr. Whitford, I'm glad you like it. When I visit Shrewsdon Valley again, I'll mail you ten pounds of tea leaves." That promise elicited Salazar's eyes to light up. After all, the tea from the valley was more valuable than precious medicinal herbs and gold. This chap is pretty decent.

"Oh, if that's not too much of trouble, Roland, you're too kind to me. By the way, you asked me a question yesterday about boosting one's power, didn't you? I haven't explained it to you. Come here. I'll walk you through the details..."

At the same time, Matthew sweated profusely as he watched the scene unfold. On his way back from grocery shopping, he had been praising the hidden sect mentees in front of Leanna. He talked about their great potential and their love of learning, and at one point, he even described them as the future of Cathay's medical field. However, he forgot about Roland, whose existence contradicted all his previous claims.
